The moment lingered in the cool night air, a fragile bubble of vulnerability and burgeoning feelings. Amara took a step back, trying to collect her thoughts. "I've never met anyone like you either, Wonwoo. You're... different. In a good way," she admitted, her cheeks warming.
He chuckled softly, the sound soothing her nerves. "I hope that's a compliment," he replied, his playful smile returning.
"It is," she assured him, her heart fluttering at the spark of connection that felt almost electric. "I just... I never expected to find such understanding here. You all have welcomed me so openly."
"That's because you're one of us now," Wonwoo said, his voice serious but warm. "We look out for each other, and you're a part of our family."
His words resonated with her, reinforcing the feeling of belonging that she had yearned for since moving to Korea.
"I want to be here for you too," Amara said softly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here."
Wonwoo nodded, gratitude etched on his face. "Thank you, Amara. That means more than you know."
Their gazes lingered a moment longer before they rejoined the others, their hearts lighter, a sense of unspoken promises hanging between them.
