" I'm ready to love.... Tell me

Can we stay together?

I'm a fool of love for you, my heart is forever by your side..."

-Ready to Love (Seventeen)

-----------------------------------------------------

He was 16 years old when he first laid eyes on the beautiful and innocent wide eyed girl.

She came in the classroom wearing her normal brown coat and didn't even cower when his stuck up friends insulted and tried to intimidate her.

'She's pretty'

He had blurted out probably unexpectedly, trying to mask it up with his cool tone.

Thank god, he actually commented it in Chinese.... A language not all of them really quite understood.

He had also thought at first that she was simply one of those.....

Those poor cinderella types who was only 'lucky' to even have a chance at entering their prestigious school and joining them on their luxurious residence.

He was the spoiled, cold and rich prince type who appeared popular, chic and cool to everyone. But to everyone who lived in the world's harshest reality.... He simply wasn't human but a stiff stick of wood who didn't know a single thing about real life.

Heck, he as well almost forgot that he was also human and had his emotions.

Until, she came and rushed into his life. She saw through his facade and dared tried to tame his icy and dark heart. Forcefully making him surrender his inner demons and guiding him out of the pitch black darkness.

And somehow, he soon started to feel the unfamiliar tingling in his heart. Butterflies replace the cobwebs and spiders that once occupied itself in his whole being.

Simply say, he found himself suddenly intoxicated by her image and everything that was connected to her.

"My feelings keep on growing since I met you.
It's not enough for me that we're only friends."

Finding himself caught in this odd feeling of infatuation. Seokhoon had probably understood that it wasn't a mere puppy love or crush.

It was much more than that.... It was his first love.

" First time feeling my heart race.
Never thought it would beat that fast"

There were times when he simply wanted to swoop her up and run as fast as he can.

Seeing her cry and lose her smile, whilst he continues to take the suffering from his father's wrath.

Their families kept them apart and perhaps that's why everyone says first love is always almost 99% of the time tragic.

Tumultuous events and unfortunate feuds made them the Romeo & Juliet of their time.

And just like a coward he let her go and yet again watched her walk away with a smile to a place far away from him.

He thought it was over....

Until a few years pass and she came back in front of him. His eyes widen, and yet again the heart that he had closed and freezed melted in a matter of seconds as it started to beat and flutter erratically.

Just when he thought, they could finally restart and try again.... He lost her in the most tragic, grotesque and heart wrenching way.

She laid on the cold cobblestone pavement. Lifeless, eyes shut and covered in her own blood.

His lips trembled from the cold and the pain, as if a dagger had pierced itself on his softened heart.

Tears pricked his grey orbs as he struggled to understand and process the scenario that played right in front of his eyes.

"All I wanna do is run away.....
Cause you are my escape
Love has no limit...
I want an answer"

After losing her for yet another time, he had buried himself in resentment. Closing himself out of his peers, he had one mission in mind. Avenge her death and find the culprit who had taken her tragically young and beautiful life.

The fire in his eyes was evident, his hands became the claws of that of a hyena. Once he touches you, you'd probably be dead. In simple terms, he finally had you with his sharp claws by your neck.

But as time passed, and his mission almost completed. He had started to fall back into the reality of her loss. Drowning himself in studies and all kinds of distraction. He would never have expected to see her yet again. Alive and well, standing in front of him.

Without even a slight glint of hesitation, he didn't hold back and engulfed the female in a warm and tight embrace.

Tears trickled down his grey eyes, as he processed and tried to grasp the reality that she was actually here and he had her in his arms.

Faced with the harsh reality of his evil father's deed. Seokhoon had tried to rush out with his fuming anger.

'Why does he keep taking people who are so precious to me? WHY??!!'

And in a flash, he stopped in his track at the entrance of yet another important woman in his life.

His mother also stood in front of him, alive and well.

He had gave up his strong and cold facade that day, startled and happy at the thought of having the people he love back in his life.

His mother and his lover.....

This time he promised he would protect them both, never to lose them for the 3rd or 4th time again.

Seokhoon went on with a plan, seated by her bedside. He silently gazed at her unconscious face, she looked peaceful as she snoozed away presumably from lethargy and her still weak state from the numerous surgeries.
