Oh shit.

Gusion held the cheeks she slapped as she looked at him in anger- albeit she still looks cute while doing so. Her cheeks were reddened from rage and Gusion ended up pinching it while she thrashed around and stomped her feet from his indifference.

"That's all you remember?" Gusion asks her calmly as she slapped his hands that are pinching her cheeks.

"What else should I remember, huh? What more did you do to me?"

Gusion grins at her question with raised brows. He wiggled it as her face flushes from his... insinuation.

"You remember how we met so you must know the reason why I did those, right?"

Her lips is on a thin line as she nodded at him, understanding where those words came from. He smiled at her as he pulled her to an embrace.

"I couldn't change what I've done but I'm trying to be someone better now." He whispers to her as her breathe hitched at his remarks. She squirmed and lightly pushed him away from her as she felt her heart racing for miles.

"D-Does that mean I really married you before?" She stuttered out.

He step away from her to respect her personal space (that's new) and nodded at her. "You remembered it, right?"

"Only those. I don't remember marrying you."

"That's okay. I'm sure the memories will come naturally soon." He patted her head as she slapped his hands away again.

"So... I'm really her?" She asks him with a small voice making Gusion smile.

"You are you, Guin." Gusion reassured her. "The both of you are one. The only difference is the maturity and attitude but it's still you." He shrugs.

"Don't think about it that much. I love you." He smiled at her gently.

Her face heated up once again as she fidgeted with her red phoenix gown. Her ruby hairpin is neatly arranged in her ponytail as Gusion touched it softly.

"Y-You do?" She shyly peeked at him beneath her neatly arranged black bangs.

Gusion nodded. "So much. More than anything in this world."

"Then... will you love me if I am a cockroach?"

"H-Huh?" Gusion looks at her startled.

What the fuck is that question? He gaps at her and remained silent as she huffs at him.

"You don't love me at all." She scoffs and turns away from him.

Damn it, this girl is mature and immature at the same time. Gusion doesn't know what to do, after all, who asks stupid questions like that? He made her turn to him as she have a huge pout in her blushing face.

"You don't expect me to answer that seriously, right?" Gusion exasperatedly asks her as her eyes watered.

"You don't love me at all." She whispered and looks away from him.

"Is that the basis of love now?" Gusion asks her.

She nodded her head as Gusion sighs. "I just have one question, baby."

"What?" She sniffled as Gusion immediately gently wiped her tears.

"Why of all animals it has to be a cockroach?"
