Forgotten Proposal
ìíì§ ìČíŒSynopsis
Snow had piled up thickly on his head and shoulders, but Hyun-jung recognized the man at a glance.
It was the man she had spent a one-night stand with the night before.
He was panting heavily, as though he had run all the way there.
âWh-⊠What are youâŠ.â
The man dropped to one knee and met Hyun-jungâs eyes.
With a hand, he gently brushed her tear-streaked cheek.
âWe can go over the details later.â
âP-please⊠please save me. I beg you.â
âWhy say something so obvious?â
As she looked into his eyesâcalmly explaining the situation to her in the midst of chaosâHyun-jung felt a strange calm settle over her pounding heart.
Like a lie, relief came all at once.
She wiped away her tears and nodded.
âDonât be afraid. Letâs try to get out of here as quickly as we can. Do you think you can do it?â
âIf you try to save me like this, wonât you be in danger too? If the car catches fire, orâŠâ
Why was this man trying to save her?
Even while she was grateful, the question gnawed at her.
It was the exact opposite of her fiancé, who had run away without even looking back.
âI made a promise. You donât remember it, but I do.â
âA promise?â
Hyun-jung looked at the man blankly, not understanding what he meant.
Even with her face a mess of tears, the man gazed at her as though she were beautiful. Then he softly pressed a kiss to her lips.
The situation was far too urgent to savor the feeling, yet she recognized them without doubtâthose same tender lips that had held her so warmly the night before.
âYes. That I would save you, no matter where you were.â
