"I love you"

He blurted out unable to contain his feelings towards her any longer. By his unforeseen confession, Ga-eun felt her heart accelerating at high speed pounding against her ribcage aggressively in way that it wanted to convey her feelings to him as well. Chest tightened, she unknowingly held back her breath.

Jeno just stared straight into her dusky brown orbs observing her reaction. Avoiding his eye contact, Ga-eun tightly pulled at the edge of her skirt and bit her bottom lip. She didn't know what to feel. It was the second time he had spoken the same words to her.

Sadly the time before she had no choice but to turn him down knowing that there was no future for them. It was the best decision. But now she is pleased that she can eventually tell him how she feels. Thankful that she got a second chance. Pleased that she doesn't have to lie to him.

"Me too . . I love you" at last she felt the weight lift off her shoulders. A burdened feeling of hiding it from him all this time. Like a bird set free. "I lied to you back then in the forest. I regret it a lot. I'm sorry if I put you through a lot of pain" looking up to him she found Jeno just gazing right at her with a neutral expression. He seemed unfazed by her words. As if he already knew. Furrowing her brows she wandered her eyes between his studying him in utter shock. "You already knew?" Jaw slightly dropping she let out a small gasp.

A miniature smile lifted of his lips and he gave a short nod. "I did but I wanted to hear it from you" making a thin line with her lips she didn't dare to look him in the eyes. "I'm sorry" shaking his head, Jeno delicately lifted her cheeks cupping up. "Stop apologising" he softly spoke out. 

"But-"

"Shhhh" he hushed in-between cutting her off, squeezing her cheeks together making her lips involuntarily pucker out. Cooing internally he sent her favourite crescent eyes smile. "If you really are sorry . . ." he whispered lowly. His voice falling a few octaves that drove a shiver to rise up her spine. A drastic difference to moments ago. 

Letting go of her cheeks he held both her hands in his intertwining them. Leaning closer to the extent that their faces were merely inches away. She felt his breath fanning against her face making her unconsciously gulp. Jeno flickered between her orbs and drifted to her lips momentarily. Licking his bottom lip in a seductive manner he looked back to her dusky brown pupils. ". . . kiss me" 

Eyes dilating, Ga-eun gasped lightly at his request. She was not expecting him to ask her so directly. Nonetheless, she was happy to do so. Ga-eun leaned closer tilting her head to the side in the process. Fluttering his eyes close, Jeno felt her soft lips gently place onto his in a delicate manner. 

Sensing his lips immediately move against her soft ones, Ga-eun couldn't help but kiss him back with a small smile lingering across her features. A hand was gently placed at the back of her head drawing her into him. Indulged into the kiss her heart set on fire exploding in contentment.
