He's crazy.

"M—me?!"

How on earth will I deal with this man and his crazy, high self-esteem?

No, must every woman in the world like him?

"No."

His expression remains serious, and as high of a self esteem that he has, I know that he didn't say simply it because of his arrogance or a strong sense of self-love.

He said it because of the confidence he has in himself and his faith in what he sees.

"... "

I could feel the heat gradually rising from under my collarbone. Even if I don't wan to admit it, can he see the temperature rising in me?

"No."

I turn my head away.

Abella, let's calm down.

Now, since we are sharing on body, can you not react as you please and ignore my effort to cover it up?

"No, your face is too red to just gloss over this issue."

"No, it's not...?"

It could feel my heart pounding all the way to my head, turning my face a shade darker.

You can't say that he's right...can you?

Please, calm down.

Thump thump?

Why do I feel like my body might get seizures from this?

This is driving me crazy.

I bite my lips.

"I am saying it because I don't think that's true."

"No."

I think I can't say that if I look in the mirror.

"It's because it's hot."

Just then, a cool breeze from the open window blows on my hair.

Damn it.

With his elbows on the armrests of the chair, he looks at me with his head slightly tilted to the side.

Huh? Is that a triumphant look on his face?

Ok, now I'm mad.

No! I don't like him. I just think that he's handsome, the way someone would if they see their favorite celebrity.

I'm not love-struck, just an idiot.

No!

He's not laughing, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to. I just want to yell that in his face.

"So don't think about divorce for awhile."

"... "

Gulping, I straighten my posture.

Should I back off for a moment?

I narrow my eyes, wondering what trick he's up to.

"If all you want is love and nothing else."

"Is that sincerity?"

"I'll show you whether I'm sincere or not."

"... "

At that moment, my expression cracks at his strange remark, not knowing what's going on.

"I will try my best."

"..."

"Because I will try to love."

My heart starts having a seizure right at that moment.
