★Confession★

The words that left her mouth were first hard to take in his brain. But when he saw nothing but seriousness in her face, the colour of his face fade away. He slightly smiled and said.

"You...you are joking right?" He asked her but she only looked down on her lap, saying nothing. A sudden rush of worry and anger reached up to his heart and he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her up.

"Answer me byeol. Is.This.A.Joke?" His eyes searched for a no in her eyes which were empty. His eyes welled up with tears as he thought about the world without byeol. The sun wouldn't shije bright, it will just be a irritating ray of light. The moon wouldn't be pretty, it would just a be light invading his darkness. Like all over again, all like before it would just be, Empty. Just like a void in heart, his life would be hopeless.

"I found out some days ago, that's why I was not present her these days. I was collecting information from the neighbouring towns about cancer and found out, there's no cure" she explained him, with just emptiness in her eyes and nothing else, she looked in his glossy eyes whose tears were yet to fall.

"How can...i..i can't live without you. You gave me hope byeol. I will find out a cure, i will meet with every doctor in this country and--"

"It's of no use Jungwon. No use. I studied about it. Do you think I don't want to live? I want to! I want to jungwon because...i have you" the eyes, that was empty filled with the same emotion like the boy. Sadness, grief and pain.

Eyes met, heartbeat matched and he didn't think for a second before putting his hands on her waist, pulling her in and put his lips on hers. The salty taste of their tears mixed with each other as they kissed each other with nothing but love. She puts her arms around his neck and tilts her head.

After a min of the kiss, they joined their forehead, tears still running down their cheeks as she confessed.

"I love you Jungwon. I really do" the girl cried for the first time in front of him and his heart broke seeing her cry, in so much pain. He finally opened the door of his heart and said everything that was to be said until it's too late.

"Did I fall in love with you? No, I did not. Because, a fall is when you drop. Without knowing, you just fall. Falling in love is like slipping off into a valley by accident, and not regretting it.

But when it comes to you, I did not fall darling. I jumped.

I knew the consequences. I knew the utter misery I'd have to go through. I knew the height I was willing to drop to. I knew, my valley.

I did not fall for you, I did not fall in love. I jumped right in, ignoring the scars as if I was blind.

And ask me if I regret it and I'll show you my biggest scar and say I'd never regret a blessing."

She couldn't get a single word out of her mouth, his beautiful confession made her forgot all sort of feeling except happiness. The short lived happiness she knew she was feeling, was much better than finding a cure from her cancer. Byeol saw her in his eyes. She saw stars when she looks at the brown orbs.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"Is 'No' even an option?" She smiled between her tears and hugged him.

"Of course I will be"

"Forget about what others will say, forget about the law. I will show you off as Mine and no one else's. You got that?"

She nodded her without any hesitation. As he laughed and starts caressing her hair before pulling back and holding her hands to sit at the cliff.

"How many days you...have left?"

"About 2 weeks? Until I will be in hell of a pain? Yeah." She laughed but didn't got a response.

"Do you have an umbrella?" He asked coldly.

She turned to look at him, frowning at the the glistening drop that shined against his hardened face. He brushed it aside impatiently as she tilted her head up to gaze at the mesmerisingly clear skies above.

Another droplet stained his cheek and she looked back at him.

Something had broken; but it wasn't the skies.

Byeol couldn't help but let out her tears, he was the one who made her cry for the first time because of love.

"Jungwon.." he didn't let her complete her words and put a finger on her mouth, indicating her to stop talking and he pills his hands back.

"Do you speak Japanese?" he turned back his head towards the moon that was shining bright like always, even though it has gone through a lot, it still had the nerve to shine.

"Yeah" she sniffs and wipes her tears with her sleeves.

"月が綺麗ですね?" He said with a small smile that lingers on his face.

Byeol sadly chuckled and turned her head towards him, saying something that broke his heart once again.

"夕日がきれいだね?"
