A Tale of a Promise

Chapter 21

Kimi Aiyu's

He is hugging me right now... I felt warm in his embrace. After almost three minutes of hugging, he let me go, and so I got off him. Rain began to pour, and oh shoot! I forgot to bring my umbrella!

Worst, my phone has no battery, and he said that his phone has no battery at all! So yeah, we are stuck here!

"Uhm, I forgot what your name is?"

"Yunme... Yunme Shiro."

"O-okay."

We went upstairs to my old room, where I lit a candle. Ever since we moved, the electricity has also been shut down because no one lives here anymore. So while I'm standing in front of the window, suddenly a big thunderstorm shows up. Which made me jump into him, and as I opened my eyes, I saw myself in his arms like he was carrying me. I felt that my face turned red, then he was about to put me down when suddenly the thunderstorm hit again, which made me hold onto his clothes and scream.

"Relax..." he said.

"It's so scary."

"Don't worry... I'll be here. I will never leave you, okay?"

"O-okay."

He puts me down on my old bed, then, later on, he starts to sing.

"I know when he's been on your mind. That distant look is in your eye. I thought that with time you'd realize. It's over, over."

I felt his emotions in every line...Likewise, he is really singing from the heart

"You know I'd fight for you, but how can I fight someone who isn't even there?"

I feel like I was floating in his voice

"Cause I want it all or nothing at all. There's nowhere left to fall. When you reach the bottom, it's now or never."

His voice sounds like an angel, like I always heard it before.

Until I closed my eyes, still hearing his sweet voice. Then I fell asleep.

Yunme's

She fell asleep in my arms. I touched her hair and face. She sleeps peacefully.

I stood up, then put the blanket on her, and then I kissed her on the forehead.

Don't make me promises. Baby, you never did know how to keep them well. I've had the rest of you. Now I want the best of you. It's time for show and tell.
