Chapter 47: I Am So Scared To Lose Her

Arya had fun while Ryu taught and helped her with the horse riding.

She insisted on doing it alone afterward since she felt confident, but Ryu was still hesitating.

"You want me to trust you, right? Then, try to do the same to me now. Trust me, I can do it alone." Arya who was already sitting alone on the horse said full of assurance.

Ryu sighed and finally released his grip on the horse’s rein to let Arya ride it on her own.

"Just take it slow, okay? Don’t try to rein it faster since you are still a newbie." He said as Arya began to ride the horse.

"Yeah, I understand. Stop walking with me already." Arya said laughing with twitched lips because Ryu was still walking beside her and the horse.

Arya moved slowly at first, then when she felt that she could speed up to impress Ryu, she reined the horse to move a little bit faster.

Arya was getting very silly and laughing a lot, as she boasted about how good she was doing to Ryu that she suddenly slid off the rump of the horse and landed on her butt, still laughing.

However, Ryu ran towards her with a crumpled and angry face.

"Are you alright? Is there anything aching?" He asked with a sharp tone as he inspected her body. His eyes were full of worry, which made Arya stop laughing.

"I am alright it was just a mild fall," Arya said. Ryu was still frowning as he quickly lifted her up and carried her like a bride towards the mansion.

"Get Doctor Song, quick!" He shouted at the first man he saw along the way.

Arya had mixed emotions at that moment as she stared at Ryu’s extremely concerned face. He was almost running while he carried her.

"Isn’t this too much of a reaction? I told you I am fine. I can even walk on my own. Put me down." She said while staring at Ryu’s frowning face.

She did not hear a response but instead saw Ryu’s wrinkled forehead and the gritting of his teeth.

-------------------------

Arya was already inside the room and being checked by Doctor Song.

"It’s just simple bruises and there is no broken bone. You are lucky Madam to not have a bad fall." Said the Doctor after he cleaned her bruises and applied some ointment.

Ryu was still very quiet and unreadable and Arya was greatly bothered by it.

"Hey, say something. Don’t just frown there." Arya complained when she was left with Ryu inside the room.

Ryu sat at the side of the bed and touched her face.

"I hope that this will be the last time you do something like that. You almost killed me, thinking something bad might have happened because of my carelessness." He answered with a scold.

"Don’t ever dare to scare me like that again, Arya." Ryu continued in a down and depressed tone while he looked closely at her with his misty eyes.

Arya was touched as she felt the weight of each his word. She almost wanted to cry because she had never felt that important to someone else before as she felt right now.

She quickly cupped Ryu’s face with her palms and leaned her forehead to touch his.

"I am sorry. I will be careful next time. I’m sorry for worrying you this much." She said softly as she gently pressed her lips against his.

"How is she?" Butler Omni asked as he sat down beside Ryu who was drinking.

"She is resting right now. Luckily, it was not a bad fall." Ryu murmured, then drank his whiskey shot.

"That’s good news, so why are you sulking in here?" Butler Omni asked. They were at the outside balcony which was facing the ocean.

Ryu smiled smugly and took another shot.

Then, he released a long, deep sigh.

"It just dawned on me, that there are things beyond my control. This was the first time ever I felt so scared. I was cursing myself and I was blaming myself. I felt like going crazy, thinking about the possibility of her being hurt because of my carelessness." Ryu said with a frown.

Then, he quietly murmured, "I am so scared to lose her."

"Child, you have fallen deeply in love with this woman." Butler Omni commented.

He was not sure whether to congratulate Ryu and be happy for him or be sad because he encountered love in a complicated situation.
