-There are no short cuts to any place worth going-

'Oppa?' Ha Na slipped inside his room discreetly, late in the night where Mr. and Mrs. Lington have slept, the over tiredness from the trip have left them crave for early sleep.

'Kim Ha Na, is it appropriate to visit a man's room at such hour?' Tony pat her head as she brushes over him, Ha Na  sashay towards his bed. She love his bed, the dark blue bedsheet and the messy duvet makes her crave even more. She lie there, rolling around, scent the smell of Tony's lingering on his bed. It was weird though, but Tony finds the humor in her strange behavior.

'Won't you lie with me, oppa?' She tries to flirt with him, like how an ancient courtesan would do to her patronage.

As usual, he would shake his head, laughing away. Tony always had an invisible restriction binding inside himself. He has classified Ha Na as a forbidden fruit. Without Ha Na's permission, he wouldn't dare to mess with her.

He sat at the corner of his bed, facing Ha Na. She supported her neck with her elbow, watching Tony with a suspicious look. 'Why aren't you laying beside me?' She taps on the bed.

'It's late and my parents is home, I have never have my parents and my girlfriend under one roof at the same time.' He shrugged.

'Girlfriend? You haven't told me about all your ex girlfriends.' Her eyes became alive with interest.

'Are you sure you won't throw me out of the house?' He clasped his hands together.

'In the future maybe? But, I really think we needed to exchange information about our past, isn't that what couples does?' She spoke her point. She wasn't confident if she could bear the jealousy if there is too much information loaded at the same time, he was so much older than her, maybe he would have already lost his virginity even before Ha Na met him.

'Fair enough.' Tony wasn't sure if that was a great idea, but he proceed anyway. 'Before you, I had a relationship with a Japanese called Yuri, that was four years ago when the relationship ends.'

'Before me? Isn't Rachel before me?' Ha Na felt the acidic sense when she mentioned Rachel's name, but she knew she would get over it after awhile.

'You said girlfriends, Rachel and I were never considered as a couple.' He explains. Somehow, whenever he talks about his past, he would always be prepared for what comes next. Having a few relationship over the years, he knew he couldn't run away from this process. And most of the time, honesty isn't always the best policy.

She nodded and gesture for him to continue. 'And before Yuri, I had a short relationship with my fellow classmate while we are attending a training class organized by Boeing.'

'So...Why did it end?' She asked.

Tony doesn't recall much about that period, it was much like a fling to him. 'When the training ended, she is heading back to Arizona, and I, to Washington, I don't fancy cross border relationship.' He confessed.

'Long term relationship, you mean?'

'Yes. Anyway,' he paused, before he goes further, he needs to check for Ha Na's mood meter. 'Are you sure you wanted to hear more of my history?'

'Afraid I'll go mad?' She replied him. Watching Tony's expression, she had gathered that he was worried.

'A little.'

'Fine, then, we'll only continues that if we happen to talk about it. What do you think, oppa?'

'I like that idea.' He said softly, curled a smile.
