Not yet relieved, she managed to get up, with no help from Jung-In who simply stood watching.

"And for who are you crying now?" he asked, attempting to sound unattached.

"For you, stupid!" she replied, angry at him for making her go through so many emotions.

Considering the rain that still came down unrelenting, Jung-In looked around, grabbed her arm and moved them under the awning of an incense shop nearby. " And why are you crying for me?" he asked bluntly before the protective cover sheltered them.
