Kyungsoo was stunned that she confessed before her. He just looked at her. He looked for a very long time, then eventually looked away. Minji still stood there, tears streaming down her face. There were taps on the window, then the taps got louder. It started to rain outside.
"I better go." Minji said. Then she ran out the door into the rain. She ran as fast as she could back home. Kyungsoo was still sitting and staring at the floor. The door was wide open, letting in the cold wind and rain. Eventually he got up to close it then he just sat down again.
Could it be true? Does she really love me?
They met eachother only weeks ago and now they were already thinking love. They barely even knew each other well. Kyungsoo was in deep thought while staring into the rain. He thought about what Minji had said to him. Was he also ready to confess? Or was Minji just flustered about how he treated her? He really didn't know what to do. But one thing was for sure. He loved her too.

When Minji arrived home she was soaking. She immediately ran to the bathroom and locked herself inside. She sat against the door and wept to herself. Why in the world would she be crying? She was scared. She was scared to love again, yet she told Kyungsoo that she loved him.
What kind of a stupid move was that?
She was afraid of going back into depression just like what happened when Kangwoo left her. She was to scared to commit again, she didn't want to be hurt again and again. She didn't want to risk it, because she felt that Kyungsoo was very similar to Kangwoo. It was terrifying to her that love could be such a painful thing rather than a wonderful thing. But she knew deep down that there was truth in what she said to him.
I DO love him.

Kyungsoo was still thinking hard about Minji. He wanted to become close to her and tell her what he felt. But he didn't understand why she was crying and why she left all of a sudden. He thought about his parents and their love story. It was short and sweet. They both loved eachother very much and cared for eachother until the last second of their lives. It was as simple as that, but he thought that Minji may have just been rushed. They were both comfortable with each other even though they were almost considered strangers. But he also knew that he had feelings toward Minji. He knew that he would always try his best to take care of her and make her feel comfortable. He promised to himself that he would protect her. He wanted them have a good life... together.
I wonder why I feel like this all of a sudden.
It was very early to even think about such things, but Kyungsoo couldn't hold back the fact.
I really do love her don't I?
