21 : Do You Regret?

Y/N

The magnificent scenery outside the window congratulated me for the life I was about to start. The journey from Seoul to Busan was not a normal one, it was the journey of peace, happiness and independence.

I held his hand tightly, locking my fingers with his as my heart beats started rising every passing second. I ran away with Jin, ran away from all of my responsibilities and also from a hell. Jin was my saver; he had saved me from a place where I was slowly dying day by day. And now, we were together, in hopes of starting a life away from all of these difficulties.

This new feeling was majestic, although I knew that it wouldn't last long. We would be caught soon and I didn't even know what was about to happen next. But, since he had promised me that he would never leave my side, I was not afraid anymore.

I just thought about how much I suffered since childhood, but now I finally had someone who was here to save me. I came there null, without any credit card or cash or my phone. But he didn't complain about it, and that showed that all he cared about was me. He just wanted me to stay by his side, and to be honest, I trusted him so much that I was not tensed about our future anymore. We were meant to live together, die together!

When I was thinking all this stuff, I felt his cold hand on mine and I flinched a little. I looked at him and saw his gaze fixed on the seat before us.

"Y/Naah!" he suddenly spoke up.

"Yes?"

"Do...you..."

"Me what?"

"Do you regret it?"

He asked with his gaze turning to me, with softness in his eyes.

"Regret what?" I asked him back.

"Do you regret running away with me?"

I just looked at his face blankly for a few minutes. Was I regretting? I didn't even know myself if I was or not.

"Hey!" he waved his hand before my eyes, taking me back to my senses.

"Jin!" I murmured and he lifted his brows, "Do you think what I did was a selfish act?"

He sighed and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Making your happiness your first priority isn't called selfishness, it's called Self-love. You chose your happiness before your responsibilities because you just wanted to live a life that is worth living. Living life between files twenty-four-seven is not what you wanted actually. You wanted to have a life where you'd have freedom. Freedom of doing anything. Freedom of living your life on your terms. Freedom of loving me!
And even if it's a selfish act, it's good to be selfish sometimes. Cause you aren't born to satisfy people, you are born to live a life that is not controlled!"

His words worked as a pain killer for me. I felt so much relieved and that's when I realised I was not regretting it at all.

I gave him a sweet smile and said, "Then I'm not regretting at all Jin! Instead, I'm excited to start a new chapter of my life with you!"

He too smiled and held my hand tightly.

"Now, both of my dreams came true. First, I wanted to pursue music and second, it was you!"

"Happily marry my younger brother!" he sighed and sneaked away from the window.
