“Why me, Seulbi?! Why the hell did you choose me?!” His voice kept getting louder and more aggressive. She couldn’t stop the tears running down her face. She must have looked pathetic in front of him. “Haechan, what .. what are you talking about?” Her voice sounded fragile and full of pain as she finally looked up at him. “Did you actually think I spend time with you because I..” Her voice broke and she couldn’t say the next words that were stuck in her throat. Only now did she realize what he must have thought of her all along. Seulbi sank to the ground, her sobs shaking her body and her hands hiding her face. His gaze didn’t leave her for one second as he fought his inner conflict. Through her fingers, she didn't miss this one tiny step he took into her direction, and it meant the world to her. Suddenly, she straightened up and embraced him. She wanted to show him all the love and fondness she had for him. “I love you, that’s why!” Her voice was nothing more than a whisper, but he heard her clearly. She pulled back and gave him a soft smile. “What did you just say?” Haechans voice was full of disbelief and shock. “I love you, Haechan” Seulbi repeated, this time more loudly and with more confidence. A weight she never felt before lifted from her shoulders and nothing could stop her anymore from taking the next step.
