Ryujin and I spent the whole of the night singing, well it was actually her singing and playing and me just being mind blown. She's always been an amazing singer, I even tried to convince her to audition into JYP once, but she told me that wasn't what she wanted to do. It was about two in the morning but the sky still shined bright. I didn't know if it was Ryu who was shining or genuinely the sky. I got up from my resting position and turned to her.

"I think we should go to sleep now Ryu." I reasoned with her.
"Hey Lia..."
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry." She had tears in her eyes.
"For what Ryu?"
"For all the times I hurt you or made you cry. I figured out from Yeji and Chaeryeong that you've been upset because of me." She looked down and I couldn't help but feel guilty for making her feel like this.
"Ryujin... you didn't do anything wrong. You could never hurt me." I kneeled back down to give her a hug.
"Ok." She whispered.

"I think we both need some rest after everything, let's go." I started walking until I heard her strum her guitar again. She started singing again and my heart stopped.

Ryujin P.o.V

I started singing for her again.

In this moment
I see you
It always comes around as I believed

When the rain stops
You shine on me
Your light's the only thing that keeps the cold out

Moon in the summer night
Whispering of the stars
They're singing like Christmas trees for us

So I'll tell you
A million tiny things that
You have never known
It all gets tangled up inside

And I'll tell you
A million little reasons
I'm falling for your eyes
I just want to be where you are

It's such a strange thing to do
Sometimes I don't understand you
But it always brings me back
To where you are

(Christmas Tree - V)

I turned to face Lia, who was crying more than me now. This was it, the song said everything I felt.

I took another deeper breath.

"I love you."

I formed the most genuine smile on my face and continued looking at her. Now, whatever her answer would be, it felt as if I huge weight was lift off my chest. Lia smiled at me too and laughed a bit too. I stood up and she walked back to me. She wrapped her arms around me, that hug felt so different to our usual ones. I loved every second of it, it almost felt as if she felt the same way. And I was right.

"I love you too. I only want to be with you." Her words were enough to make my face go red and my heart to beat faster, this was everything I could imagine. I felt proud of myself for finally being able to tell her, I worried for nothing. "I'm so glad I spent my whole life with you Jisu."

I really was.
