"should I put them here?" Marie came holding the dishes

"Yeah" I took them from her and we arranged them around the table

"I'll check if the food is ready so I can go and call the rest"

"Jin said that it'll take a while" 

"Ah.." and she turned to leave

"Hold on don't go!"

She stared at me with lost eyes

"You look nervous around me" I smiled

"Well.. I'm not gonna lie I am nervous" she sat on the bench facing me with a smile

"I'm glad you do, I'll take it as a sign that you like me" :)

"And do you always try to read bodies to your favor?"

"You read mine too, we can read each other perfectly you can't deny this"

"I can deny this"

"Are you nervous because you like me?"

"I can't answer this question"

"You can't deny it either"

"I can't" she laughed

"Don't stare at me like this then"

"You do that too"

"I do it because I like you and you're beautiful why not to do so"

"Then I'm allowed to look at you too!"

"Because I'm beautiful?"

"Yes you're"

"And because you..."

"No, I'll not complete that blank"

"You're so mean" I acted like I'm upset but we ended up looking at each other again

"I can't wait to introduce you to everyone, they'll love you :3"

"They're already leaving nice comments"

"They'll love you more when I introduce you as my girlfriend"

She looked at me blankly

"Alright sorry, I already told you to arrange your thoughts

Though never drop me from your mind"

Still a blank face mixed with disappointment but she replied

"Don't worry"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Hah?"

"Marie you know that I love you for real? I really mean it, you might see me confused about many things but I'm really sure about my feelings towards you if that's what's stopping you from saying it"

She looked at me quietly but slowly tears started to fall from her eyes

"A-Are you okay?! I'm sorry" I sat next to her and hugged her

"I'm sorry, it's tiring my head is weighing me, and I feel so stressed, I'm really sorry"

"No, I'm the one who's sorry" we both cried like fools

"But why do you cry too?" she looked at me with her teary eyes

"I hate that I can't do anything about it"

"Don't cry" She hugged me tightly

My hands started to shake

"If the weight is too big to carry, share it with me, I'll help you all the way" I patted on her back
