Hovering, leaning back, momentarily a sense of falling, a sickening feeling of ending, but she felt his firm grip on her wrist, pulling her upwards. Myeol Mang quickly reacted the moment realization dawned of her plans, heart pounding, throat constricted, instinctively, reached, grasped her wrist, yanks her upwards, firmly pulling her to safety. Standing on the top step, holding her around the waist, voice rising, demands, "Are you crazy?" Unfazed, meets his dark eyes, " I knew you would catch me. You don't eat, sleep, cry, love or have emotions. But I have all those feelings because I am human." Briefest of pauses, as the pair quietly stare, his heart still pounds, releases a pent up breath, waits for her next words. Deeply gazing into his eyes, says, "So, I am telling you that I plan on loving you. I will live and not loose anything." Myeol Mang, surprised, intently stares at her face, studies, reaches his hand around the middle of her back, pulls her body closer, says, "Then let's do this properly. Until you want to bring doom down upon the world for me. So, what, should we kiss now?" Tak Dong Kyung pushes him away, steps down from the bricks, walks towards the door.
Myeol Mang watches her back, a wistful look written across his face, wishes she wouldn't gamble so frivolously with her life and yet so thankful he caught her in time. His heart still ached, an odd, unfamiliar feeling, that he is uncertain of the name or what it means exactly.
Teasingly, he calls out, "Where's the kid who pounced recklessly earlier, determined to die?" She swirls around from the door, says, "I won't forget. I won't forget what happened today. I will for sure not forget and give it back to you." He studies her serious facial features, unsmiling lips, innocently asks, "Which one? That I tried to kill you or save you?" She simply replies, "Both, my key was in here. Come in, or run away." At those timely words, she open the apartment door, walks in, leaving Myeol Mang to decide on his course of action. Puzzlement crosses into his deeply set black eyes, perhaps truth be told he is running away from experiencing these painful emotions.
