We're taking a break from the plot for this chapter. I thought it would be refreshing to you readers and our (Y/n) also needs time to recover from her talk with Jin Woo. Hope you enjoy the fan service~

I got Zhongli's earrings and I'm so happy :)

I opened my eyes to look directly into Jin Woo's gray orbs, so full of love and affection. It was nice having someone love you so unconditionally, but seeing how much he loved me and knowing what lengths he would go through for me only made me feel all the more guilty. I didn't deserve this type of love. I didn't deserve to be loved by someone as amazing as Jin Woo. I was a nobody, no, I am a nobody.

Noticing my pensive gaze, he pulled me closer to himself, placing a peck on my forehead, "Morning, Love. What seems to be bothering you?"

"I... I just can't wrap my mind around what happened. I can't believe someone like you would love someone like me— a complete waste of space and well, you're my first kiss, you know? I've never kissed anyone before... so that's that." I admitted, burying my face into his chest.

"Please don't say that about yourself," Jin Woo pleaded. "You're a really special person, (Y/n). You're filled with a passion I've never seen in anyone else— the willingness to feel what others feel, to understand where they're coming from and to empathize... no one is willing to do that. No one but you, and with that sensitivity of yours, you help those around you, uncaring of the troubles you will encounter in doing so. The world needs more people like you. You're not a waste of space, Love, you're as important as the sun itself."

"You exaggerate," I softly mumbled, heat rushing to my cheeks.

"Am I? I'm sure what I just said perfectly describes you." He placed his thumb beneath my chin, tilting my head upward so that I'd look him in the eyes.

I didn't know why, but the moment I looked into his gray orbs, I lost myself in them. With close to no distance between us, I was able to see every spec of gray within his alluring gems, creating a beautiful mixture. With colors as light as silver to colors as dark as the night sky mixed with shy hints of blue, his eyes were absolutely captivating.

His gray-blue eyes were a storm of emotions— both calm and contained yet steady and unrelenting. My heart sped in my chest, my breath hitching in my throat. His gray eyes held such contrasting emotions within them. Although his eyes were twinkling in an almost child-like wonder as he stared at his most loved person, beneath was an abyss filled to the brim with unconditional love, a type of love only learned with experience.

"You're eyes... are very pretty," I internally screamed at myself at my idiotic off-topic comment.

"You think?" Jin Woo smiled as he cupped my cheek in his hand, "I'm glad you think so."

I was still caught in his stormy eyes, "Your eyes are.. wondrous in a sense. To others, you could be so cold and expressionless, yet staring at them now... I feel safe, warm and protected, like nothing could ever hurt me. They're so sincere, unnaturally so, and I love it."

A light pink dusted Jin Woo's cheeks, "And yet you still wonder why I'm head over heels for you... I'm honestly glad that I'm your first kiss. It's an honor."

"It's not much of an honor," I waved it off lightly. I paused, my light expression fading. "Can we... Can we stay like this for a while?"

"We can stay like this for as long as you would like."

I leaned into his touch, relishing in the warmth the palm of his hand provided. I melted into his touch as I closed my eyes. I sighed, releasing my pent up stress. I wished this moment could last forever— Jin Woo and I wrapped under blankets, cuddling and exchanging the warmest of words, loving each other, but I knew fate wouldn't allow me to do so, so I cherished this moment. I embedded it into my memory so I would forever remember it.
