୨⎯ It is the Start of an Ending. ⎯୧

As I take a breather, exiting through the front door of this vintage house that belongs to my brother, Rindou frantically follows me from behind, his breath shakes heavily as if there is something wrong. My eyes pan through the sides to glance at his anxious face.

I then stop, swiftly turning around and asking him, "Tell me you are gonna explain everything to me, Rin. How do you know my brother? How long have you known him?"

He gulps inaudibly before responding to my bombardment of a question, "No more lies, right?"

"Yes!" I exclaim.

Rindou answers, sweating as he speaks, "I only know Sanzu because of my brother who is in the same organization as him, Bonten. It was only last week when I found out Sanzu is actually related to you. Believe me when I say it but what we have right now has nothing to do with him!"

I take a step forward as I watch him turn blue as anxiety devours him fully, "Then what are you afraid of now that you are talking to me?"

"I am afraid that you wouldn't trust my word. I am afraid that I might lose you because of all this." He says, his eyes trembling in worry. I run towards him, embracing him tightly.

Rindou rests his warm palm on my head as he lowers his voice, "I trust Sanzu wouldn't hurt you despite him being a part of a criminal organization. I know how bad Bonten can be with unwanted visitors, but don't worry, you will be safe as long as you are with me, Y/n."

He now looks at me with an adoring gaze, locking his hands with mine. "I wouldn't kill for you. I would die for you, Y/n. Because protecting you is enough for me. Seeing you alive makes me feel alive even if I am already at death's door."

I let out a tiny chuckle as my eyes stare at him with a smile so vibrant. "What are you saying? Is this your wedding vow to me?" He proceeds to pinch my cheek as he replies with an eased expression, "I just felt like saying it to you."

"Hmm?" I then brush my finger on his nose and say, "Then I would kill for you, Rindou. It sounds about right. I don't need saving when it doesn't come from you, boo~"

Rindou laughs, "Come on, you don't have to kill people for me. That's seriously unnecessary for you to do!" I then strike him a poking expression as I respond, "Then you don't have to die for me, idiot. It's as simple as that."

"I don't want your hands to get stained." He says, raising my slender hands to his chest as he cups it into his palms. I reply back to him, grinning, "I don't want your heart to stop beating for me."

"It's a deal."

"Mhm, good." I say before we both share childish laughter. Then, our eyes meet again, screaming for 'I love you.' as we slowly lean for a sweet and tender kiss. Synchronously, we both say "I love you!" at the same time as we end the romance.

"God, are we turning into those cringey couples?" I ask in a joking manner. "I mean like those in the movies where the main character and the male lead are kissing in the rain but here, it's literally pitch dark. Do you get my-!"

Rindou kisses me one more time before saying, "What are you yapping about? We are a perfectly fine couple who are about to get married soon and...possibly have a kid."

"Okay, stop right there. You are jumping a bit too far. Let's start with getting married first. Let us not overwhelm ourselves!" I point out, widening my eyes with his suddenness. His impulsiveness highly surprises me sometimes like how he took part in that experimental film just for me.
