"I'm shaking..."

"Follow me carefully. Don't lose your way if you look away."

I came to Taiwan with my boyfriend of two years, Guanlin, and was so excited that I looked around and exclaimed in admiration. However, Guanlin, whose hometown is Taiwan, seemed worried that I would get lost, so he grabbed my arm and nagged me.

I smiled and tapped the shoulder of the person I was talking to a couple of times as if to tell him not to worry. The person I was talking to laughed along with me and said let's eat first and led me there.

So, I had a great time following Guanlin and eating Taiwanese food and snacks for the first time.

After that, we were walking hand in hand through the crowd of people, in line with our plan to go shopping while walking around the streets of Taiwan.

Then, my eyes were drawn to the various snacks displayed in front of a store, so I walked over there, and that's when the trouble started.

I looked around at all the delicious-looking snacks and smiled brightly like a child, then turned around and opened my mouth.

"Guanlin, this is delicious.."

The moment my eyes met with an unknown man who was looking at me with surprised eyes, I was speechless in embarrassment and took a step back to look around.

Surprised that he couldn't see even a single piece of Guanlin's clothing among the many Taiwanese locals passing by, he belatedly walked towards the place where he had taken Guanlin's hand away, but Guanlin was not there either.

From then on, my heart started beating faster.

I was afraid that if I just walked around, the officials wouldn't be able to find me, so I just stopped in place and looked around.

at that time..

Thump-

I was startled by the friction on my shoulder and turned around to see the man who had bumped into my shoulder open his mouth to speak...

Judging by his expression, he seemed angry, but I couldn't understand a single word he was saying.

A man who stands there blankly, bows his head to show his apology, and continues on his way.

After the man left, I started to feel more and more scared by the reality that was coming to me.

I couldn't understand a single word he said, so how did I end up like this after turning a blind eye? Suddenly, I remembered what the official had said earlier.

"Follow me carefully. Don't lose your way if you look away."

Until then, I felt like crying as I remembered myself confidently telling her not to worry.

I kept looking around, clasping my hands and lifting my heels, hoping that someone would come find me quickly.

Meanwhile...

The back of the officer seen from afar...

I quickly ran to him, afraid that he might not see me.

I followed his back as he walked forward, grabbed his arm, and sighed.

"Ha.. Gwanrin.."

Guanlin looked up, catching his breath.

However, the man who chased after her, convinced that this was Gwan-rin, was not Gwan-rin.

It was just a Taiwanese man wearing clothes similar to Guanlin's.

I quickly let go of the arm I was holding, nodded, and turned back.

Then, as I walked along the many forks in the road, I began to feel increasingly confused.

Why did I tie up another knot in a tangled situation? I sighed, holding my head in my hands as the situation became more tangled than it could be.

At that moment...

Again...

As I took a deep breath, I was startled by a teardrop falling down my face. I touched my eye and felt moisture. I wiped the tears away with my hand and looked around again.

I opened my eyes even wider and continued to look around, afraid that if I cried my vision would blur and I wouldn't be able to see the person in charge.

From then on, the steps I took with the single-minded determination to return to where I was led me to increasingly strange places...

Eventually, I ended up in a narrow, unknown alley.

I turn around and start walking back to my original position...

at that time.

Thud...thud...

Several men blocking my path began to spout unintelligible words at me.

"Ah... no... no."

I didn't know what was going on, but I could only wave my hands and say 'no' over and over again, and there was nothing I could do.

At that moment, a man with an angry expression grabbed my wrist, and I was surprised and started to say something that didn't make sense in a louder voice.

"No no! I'm... Korean!!"

My cheeks were already soaked with tears from the extreme anxiety and fear, and I was holding on with all my might, not even realizing that my wrists were hurting from the strength of the man pulling me.

At that moment...

The man's hand that had been pulling my wrist so strongly suddenly fell, and when the recoil made my body fall backwards, I opened my eyes to the feeling of someone wrapping their arms around my waist. At the sight I saw, my legs gave out and I collapsed to the ground.

The person who supports me.

I finally met Guanlin, whom I had been searching for for a long time. I stopped crying in relief. Then, as the Taiwanese men approached Guanlin, I held his hand tightly.

Then, Gwan-rin stands up and looks down at the men who are shorter than him and says something.

"It's mine." (내꺼야)

The men all leave their seats at the official's words...

As soon as the men left, Gwan-rin knelt down in front of me and gestured for me to lie down. I, who had no strength in my legs, just leaned against Gwan-rin's back.

Guanlin, who had carried me on his back, started walking down the street without saying anything. As we walked along, I was worried because I couldn't read Guanlin's expression, which was silent, so I spoke first.

"I'm sorry... I missed you."

After hearing what I said, Gwan-rin continued walking and talking.

라이관린

"It's okay if you know..."

I hugged Gwan-lin's neck even tighter, and smiled as I heard Gwan-lin's small, almost flowing laughter.

Then, suddenly, the officer who let me down.

I got down from Gwan-lin's back and looked up at him with a questioning look in my eyes. Gwan-lin, who was looking down at me, stroked my head and hugged me tightly.

라이관린

"Sorry for finding you late."

Rather, when Guanlin said he was sorry to me, I dug into his arms, and Guanlin, who was smiling at me like that, continued to stroke my head.

"I love you" (사랑해)

"Did you swear at me?"

라이관린

"Let's study Chinese..."
