2 Temporary Band-aid 1 (1/2)
”Wait! Wait! Hold on!” Han Jun exclaimed as loud as he could. To stop Han Jie as well as to call for help as he watches the golden retriever slowly approached him like prey that was ready to pounce. ”Let me explain!”
Han Jie felt a little remorse and said, ”Snout, sit boy.” With narrowed eyes, she glared at him as a notion to explain.
Through clenched teeth, ”It is just temporary, once your sister is found, and that would be soon you can go back to this place.”
”Huh. So I will be the temporary band-aid again, covering for my sister, while she is busy with something else.” Han Jie smirked. Don't get her wrong, She loved her sister. Though they had their moments of fights, a twin could never hate the other. Yes, they were twins.
Sadly, Han Jie is the shadow, a wallflower that most did not pay attention to at a party. While her sister Han Mei was the bright, beautiful flower that everyone else wants to get close at any costs
Han Jie envied her sister for her personality and charisma that her father also appreciates, but should never hate her. Add to the fact that Han Mei was a very dutiful daughter, unlike her, that only did what she wants.
Regardless, the arranged marriage was a big thing that even Han Mei went against their father's wishes for the first time.
'Should I help her?' Han Jie thought to herself. She could pretend to be Han Mei and sabotage the engagement. However, the idea was immediately refused after the possibility of a damaged reputation that will be definitely blamed on her.
”I am not satisfied with your explanation. You can leave now. By the way, you have been there for more than five minutes. He is counting time for you, by the time it gets to ten minutes, he will attack you,” Han Jie stated as she turned around and got to go inside the cabin, leaving Snout out to watch over him.
Han Jun not knowing if Han Jie was speaking the truth, slowly stepped back to get away from the dog, while cursing his cousin inside his head.
Seeing that he was on the move, Snout ran after him barking aggressively. Panicked Han Jun missed his step on the mountain path and found himself slipping down, making Snout catch up to him. Just before the dog snatched his flesh with the big jaws, Han Jie whistled to it, calling the dog back to her. Han Jie didn't bother to see the injuries Han Jun could have sustained as she went back into the cabin.
None of Han Jun's crew knew what had happened as they saw him limping down the hill. Jonah was the first to rush to him and asked, ”What happened?”
Han Jun didn't oblige him with an answer as he hissed and walked past him into the helicopter. Jonah watched as the helicopter took off, not knowing what to do next, he decided to stick around as he could not return to his boss without his daughter.
'Should I try making good terms with Snout? I could at least try to get a better place to rest...' Jonah thought to himself. After all, his task was to guard Han Jie aside from bringing her back.
The only accommodation that he had a camping van and wished for a warmer place to stay in the middle of the mountain.
His wish came true!! when Han Jie opened the door of the cabin and motioned for him to get in.
”Miss, you surely do not want to go back?”Jonah asked after getting comfortable on a single sofa near the firewood in the small cabin.
The place smelled like wood and nature mixed with ink, which was nice. It was just a small cabin with one bedroom, the furniture was limited, and the electricity came from solar energy.
