In the mood for love

Park Saeroyi watched from the window of his beautiful and comfortable apartment as the rain fell calm and serene as the night. At times like that, he would like to think about life and all the challenges he overcame. He was no longer the simple boy who dreamed of being a great businessman and who wanted to do justice for the death of his father. He achieved everything he wanted and was finally at peace with himself, the demons that haunted him every night disappear and are now distant memories that no longer weaken him.

The rain was gaining intensity and Saeroyi's mind was gradually restless as if the feeling of peace he once felt was gradually replaced by distressing thoughts and fear of having everything he fought for suddenly disappeared.

He took a deep breath and was relieved to feel Yi-seo's warm body hugging him from behind. Demonstrations of affection are still new to him, he was uncomfortable with touches and caresses, but little by little he is getting used to receiving and giving affection.

"Are you okay?" She asks in a slightly sleepy voice and hugs him tighter.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking about a few things. You don't have to worry about me, "he says, turning to her with a slight smile on his face.

"I will always worry about you. I don't even like to think of something bad happening to you. I think I would feel everything with the same intensity. Don't even think about making me suffer, Park Saeroyi. I took too long to win you over ", Yi-seo looks at him and leans his head on his chest with the care of someone who touches a precious crystal.

Saeroyi never imagined that he would love someone like Jo Yi-seo. The smart, determined and audacious girl came into his life like a hurricane and changed him forever. Yi-seo helped him to grow and stayed by his side at all times, despite the friction caused by the differences between the two. At first he did not take it seriously, little by little he started to see it as his safe haven, not only in business, but in life. It is in her that he finds peace after a bad day, it is she who calms him down during an anxiety crisis, it is she who can get a smile out of him and cheer him up. All roads led to Yi-seo and this was just the beginning of a long road.

"I love you," he says, looking into her eyes and stroking her hair in a way that only he can do.

"Are you sure you're okay? You don't usually make these statements out of the blue, not that I'm complaining. "

"I just wanted to say that to you. I'm still learning these things, feelings like that are still new to me. I don't want you to think that I don't feel the same thing and the same intensity. That's why I like to declare my love ", he gives his girlfriend a simple kiss and hugs her even harder. All the tension he felt was gone and gave way to a euphoria that did not fit in his chest. He was euphoric and bursting with love, happiness and hope.

Outside the rain stopped and an unusual heat washed over the apartment. It was as if there were only the two in the world and nothing else mattered. Love was a new feeling for both of them and each day they discovered new things and small details about each other. Yi-seo's insatiable curiosity and Saeroyi's timidity complemented each other in a fascinating way that only the two could decipher and understand. In this new world they left behind all fears and insecurities to plunge headlong into the feeling they discovered together.

Jo Yi-seo was always eloquent and made it clear what he felt for his boss. She was not ashamed of sounding desperate or childish, she loved that man and would do anything to win him over. It was persistent and only after four years did it see that love blossom. For her, the wait was worth every second, it wouldn't change anything. The first time she heard her lover's "I love you" her heart almost stopped, a joy she never imagined feeling and living. After years and failed attempts she was finally rewarded. She, who used to be skeptical of love, found herself without concrete and real answers for the first time. The abstract field was new, feelings were new, being reciprocated was new.

"That way you're going to make me cry. I have a reputation to uphold. "

"I know you well enough to know that deep down you are melted butter," he teases and comforts her in his arms. Yi-seo's eyes shine bursting with passion. At that moment he was the happiest man in the world. He achieved his goals and met the love of his life. The anguish he had just felt was completely gone. His heart only had room for happiness. All the gaps in your soul have been filled and filled with vibrant and inspiring sensations.

He liked to enjoy the ordinary and remarkable moments of life. I wanted to enjoy every millisecond and live each emotion intensely. For a long time he thought only of his plan for revenge and rejected any new sensation, he was afraid and did not think he was worthy of such happiness. Lately he has been exploring his emotions more trying to allow himself and demonstrating what he feels clearly. He is reaping the rewards of that progress and proud of himself for it. He is no longer afraid of getting hurt because he knows that Yi-seo will be there to help him.
Both knew solitude well. They dealt with it in different ways, but they always felt the need and urgency to share it with someone. Now they didn't have to worry about it anymore, they had each other and that was enough.

"I need to tell you something."

"You can talk," Saeroyi did attentively.

"Remember that time you drank too much at that restaurant and went out on the floor? I kissed you. I didn't tell you before because I wanted to find an appropriate time for that. I'm sorry I kept that information for so long. "

"Thank you for telling me. You had your reasons for hiding this until today. One more new information about you, I like that. It's getting late, we better lie down. "

"We'll be like this just a little while longer. I want to keep that moment in mind. Since we started dating this is one of the most personal moments we've ever shared. I feel that we are more and more attuned. "

"I was looking forward to your arrival, your hug comforted me once again. Thanks for that too, "he smiles and gives Yi-seo a sweet kiss. They embraced for a few more minutes in silence, enjoying the night. They had everything they needed.

"I love you, Park Saeroyi."

"I know."
