Chapter 154

He nodded.

“It was I who known as Roy Jean. I additionally requested him to not say a phrase about me if you come round. As I believed that… possibly you wouldn’t wish to see me.”

The gaze in her eyes wavered. In a subdued tone, she requested, “Then why did you come to the exhibition if you already knew so nicely about how I’d really feel once I noticed you?”

Harsh phrases burst forth out of resentment. If that was the case, he shouldn’t have let her discover out until the tip. Furthermore, he shouldn’t have come again to stir her up within the first place.

“I got here to see the ‘Apollo’ that you simply made. Roy was as soon as instructed me that there was a sculpture that could be a spitting picture of me. I used to be curious to see how related it was to myself. And in addition about how I used to be portrayed in these eyes of yours.”

Her face flushed as ‘Apollo’, which she had made in accordance with her reminiscence, amounted to a confession. It was like telling him how strongly he was imprinted in her thoughts. Yuri puzzled if he’d seen it.

“There was just one factor I may consider once I noticed you mendacity on the hospital mattress. And that’s, I don’t suppose I can stay like this anymore.

Yuri couldn’t appear to shake off the nice and cozy palms as he tenderly stroked throughout her cheeks.

“Sorry for not giving up on you continue to, even though I had ruined you within the title of affection. Sorry for loving you continue to.”

A tear plopped down her eyes though she had no concept concerning the cause for it. Then, gently, he brushed his palms in opposition to her tear-streaked cheeks.

“Regardless of all that, I nonetheless wish to begin over with you. However this time we’ll do it your means, not mine.”

Yuri may really feel the tremble from his fingertips as he spoke. On the verge of bursting into tears, she shortly bit onto her lip earlier than she mentioned, “However I’ve nothing to supply to you. There’s no means of realizing when my mind will relapse into sickness, and I in all probability gained’t be capable of have infants as nicely. You continue to need me regardless of all that?”

“Sure, I do.” He didn’t hesitate to provide her his reply.

Nonetheless, Yuri shook her head as an alternative. “Not out of pity or by some sense of accountability of yours for ruining me.”

Tae-Jun grimaced at her phrases. He then took her hand and positioned it over his chest. Via his shirt, she felt his racing coronary heart.

“Do you actually suppose it’s beating out of pity or by some sense of accountability?”

She was puzzled. And when she’d tried to drag again her hand, he solely grabbed all of the extra strongly.

“Pity? Sense of accountability? I’m not accustomed to these ideas from the outset. And there’s no want so that you can supply me something as a result of there’s nothing else I’ll want, so long as I’ve you. All I ask of you is to provide me one other likelihood to like you.”

All of the tears she had been holding up till now gushed out. However she nonetheless wasn’t sure if this was the proper factor to do. She knew she shouldn’t select him if she considered Hye-Yeon or her father. But, she couldn’t deny her want to be with him though she knew she was being egocentric. She may virtually hear her inside voice screaming out to her that it could be silly of her to forgive him regardless of all of the indelible scars he’d left on her. Nonetheless, she nonetheless wished to start out over with him.

Three years was an extended sufficient time for her to get well from her ache, sufficient for her to start out lacking him once more.

“I really like you.”

His honest phrases of confession rang about her ears. In a flash, what Roy’s phrases from earlier than, about how he hoped for her to stay sooner or later, all of a sudden flashed throughout her thoughts. And for the primary time in her life, she had pictured herself being with somebody sooner or later. Then… she crammed her teary imaginative and prescient with the person earlier than her, within the hope that somebody could be Tae-Jun in the long run.

“I… love you too. Although I knew that I shouldn’t, that it was improper for me to take action, I nonetheless wasn’t capable of suppress my emotions for you.”

It was excessive time for her to lastly admit her emotions for him.

With a glance of pleasure on his face, he clasped her into his chest. Whereas nestled in opposition to his heat, agency chest, Yuri simply listened as he whispered his numerous due to her ears.

“I’ve at all times thought I’ve already tasted hell nicely sufficient that I’d quite be in hell myself than to see you in it. However I assume I used to be all improper. I couldn’t really feel extra alive proper now. And I can lastly breathe and really feel the beat in my coronary heart. As Yuri, you have been my coronary heart in any case.”

Their heated lips touched in opposition to one another’s. It was virtually as if solely the 2 of them existed in the entire world because the rising sound of the rain muffled all of their environment. In the meantime, she imagined all the dear occasions she could be spending with him for the remainder of her life, loving whereas being liked.

And that was the true start line of the 2 of them.
