Roseanne was still in shock after what had happened. She didn't even realise when she reached the library. She went in and tried to study. Even thought there was pin drop silence she just couldn't focus. Her mind was rather concentrating on that person 'Who was he?'

Her phone started vibrating. The name showed BFF It was her best friend, Japanese teacher and her part-time therapist, Lucy. She has come from Japan and struggled with English at first. Nevertheless, she had been there for Roseanne throughout her high school.

She was so happy that she picked up the phone in the library and the went out to continue.

"Hello? Annie... you there?" Hearing this Roseanne felt as if she was going to cry.

"Ci-ah." She said, on the verge of breaking down.

"What is wrong? Who troubled you? I'm at our favourite spot. Come fast. Let's talk, okay??" Hearing this Roseanne ran across the street to go meet her friend.

As soon as she arrived Lucy walked to her and yelled in Japanese "誰があなたを悩ませた?"

Roseanne may have not understood, but it was clear the Lucy is concerned. Lucy made her sit down, and she narrated the whole story.

"Wow! I'm amazed. He is just like those in the K-dramas. I'm so jealous." She squealed. Roseanne shot her a dirty look.

Lucy cleared her throat and said "How could you let someone bully you?"

Roseanne looked up and said "I think he now owes me one, and I DID help him. So I won't report him. This may not be the last time... Anyway I leave it to fate."

Lucy looked at her dreamily "Annie, you are beautiful, kind and smart. I'd be surprised if that man does not fall for you since you WILL MEET him. Ah... I'll wait for that day since you 'leave it to fate'."

Roseanne looked at her and smiled. 'What a friend I have' she thought.

...Ryan's POV...

...----------------...

'I finally got away from them' he thought. Just then a car pulled up in front of him and came out a person who seemed to be a bodyguard and bowed. "Sir, I'm sorry. I took us a while to locate you." He said. Ryan looked at him as he would have killed him then and there with his eyes.

"Take me home. I'll deal with all of you later. Until then, I think you know what you have to do." He said his deep voice.

"Yes sir. Make one team to search the assassins and their boss and the rest have to do 100 push-ups, 100 squats, do 1 hour cardio exercise and run 20 laps of the training ground." He said in a calm voice as if he knew exactly what to do.

Ryan scoffed. "You would rather remember what you have to do than improve." Hearing this the bodyguard replied without emotion, "Sorry to upset you sir." He moved aside and Ryan into the car.

As the car drove he closed his eyes and thought of the girl. "Roseanne..." he murmured to himself. He liked the word.

He then sensed some tension and looked at the driver and his second assistant who was staring at him in worry. "S-sir, you have a women's coat on y-you. Also you need to choose a partner for the banquet next month."

"Hmm... got it." He replied.

As soon as he got home the family doctor came up to him. "Sir are you okay? Please lie on the bed and rest while I treat your wounds."

"Hmm..." Ryan began walking fast leaving all of them behind. Just then the family doctor noticed a jacket in his hand.

After an hour's work the doctor finished. "Sir I shall take my leave". He bowed down and left.

As he walked outside the house he saw the driver and asked him "Who does that coat belong to?"

"His future partner, I'm sure." He replied winking.

As the wind blew both of them smiled knowingly.
