Chapter 27

Junkyu POV

Staring at the ring on my finger, I realized I made a big jump and took a huge risk. It seemed unreal to have it back around my finger after over six years. It felt weird yet right. JeongWoo once told me to keep the ring until I can accept Haruto again, and I did.

With this ring back on my finger, I'm not just accepting him, but I also forgive him. For real this time. I forgive him for all his mistakes and accept the fact that our past relationship was full of flaws. It wasn't as perfect as I had pictured it back then.

Maybe that's why it hurts so much, because I lose something so perfect —or so I thought— in a blink of an eye. We were so madly in love with each other, we failed to notice there was something more important than love, which is trust, the foundation of love itself.

Just now, I did said he should've discussed with me about his concern with our social status instead of kept it to himself and did what he did. It might sounds like I put the blame on him when in reality, it was partially my mistake.

Trust wasn't something people would give freely, it was something we gain through hard work and commitment. In this case, I didn't work hard enough to make him believe he can trust me with his insecurities. I mean, who am I trying to fool here, back then I took his feelings too lightly.

Every time he felt small because of my family status and wealth, I always told him that it wasn't something he should worry about, that it won't affect my love for him, that it won't affect our relationship. I said that without trying to put myself on his shoes, without paying attention on what was it that bothers him. I pretty much downplayed his insecurities.

A wise man once said everything happened for a reason, and I agreed. I probably won't see the flaws in our relationship if he hadn't left me. That flaws probably became worse overtime and ruined us without any chance to fix it.

I'll learn to trust him again as much as I'll try to gain his trust, as love alone wasn't enough for our relationship to survive.

"There is something else that I haven't told you yet." Said Haruto as he put my hand inside his own. "But this thing, you need to hear from me, Lyn and JeongWoo. I can't tell you without them."

"Oh. We can talk later after the kids went to bed if its that important." I said. I was damn curious because he looked nervous, but I don't want to push him. "Let's go see them. I'm sure Lyn and JeongWoo couldn't wait to be freed from two little buggers."

I pulled us both to get our asses off from the sofa and walked towards the front door. I barely touched the door handle when Haruto suddenly turned me around and pulled me into a hug. A strong tight hug that makes me melt into his chest.

"Thank you." He whispered with a heartfelt sigh.

"I thank you too. Thank you for sending me two little angels." I replied. My hunch back then was correct. It was Haruto who sent little Ruto to comfort me. It all made sense with the Amaryllis flower and the way Ruto calmed me down. Only Watanabe Haruto would say I'm ugly when I cry to stop me from crying.

He pulled me away and placed a hand on my cheek. "So I have three angels now." He stated as his eyes searching on my face. Up until now, I don't know the reason why he consider me as his angel. For real, I was far from being an angel.

Before I could protest, he had leaned forward and caught my lips with his. He kissed me carefully, slowly, gently, the kind of kiss that comes from heart, without malice or lust. There was no rush in it as though he tried to spoke his love language through it. And I felt little butterflies flies inside my stomach.

He broke the kiss with a content smile drawn on his face and I'm sure I mirrored his expression as I could felt the same contentment. He hold my hand as we stepped out of the front door. I watched the way our fingers intertwined, and I thought, my hands were made to hold his.
