Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 51

Dara was seated on the bedside, running her fingers through Jiyong's hair and studying every details of his face.

Feeling the touch on his hair, his eyes slowly batted open.

She gave him her sweetest smile after seeing he's awake. "Good morning." She said.

"Hey..." Jiyong looked around, confused of what's happening. 'Is this a dream?'

"Do you want me to bring your breakfast here?" She asked while caressing his cheek.

He sat up abruptly and pinched his arm.

"What are you doing?" Dara's eyebrows furrowed.

"Trying to distinguish reality from a dream?"

"Huh?"

He extended his arm and reached for her face. He gently run his fingers on it, touching every details, from her eyes to her lips. "This is real, right?"

Dara chuckled. "Of course... You're acting weird, Ji."

He shook his head. "I woke up and the first thing I saw was your lovely smile... You were smiling at me... You weren't looking at me with hate." He told her, still looking confused.

Instead of replying, she gave him a quick kiss on his lips. "I'm just trying to wake my prince charming up." She said and enclosed him in his arms. "I'm sorry, Ji... I was selfish... I thought I was the only one hurting... but you were as well."

"Oh God... This is real." He said, sliding his arms around her waist.

"It was wrong for me to just ran away like that without clarifying things with you... I was too eaten up with the pain... I was scared to feel more of it if I talk about that plan with you."

He caressed her hair and kisses it. "You weren't gonna feel that way if it wasn't for me... Don't blame yourself."

"We could have ended breaking up because of my stupid selfishness." Her shoulders started to shake, tears racing down her cheeks.

Jiyong pulled away and cupped her cheeks with his hands, wiping her tears with his thumb. "You still love me, right?"

While her lips were trembling, she nodded. "So much, Ji... I never stopped loving you... I couldn't remove you from my thoughts." She said in between sobs. "Sorry this has to happen."

Jiyong started to shed tears as well. "God, thank you." He whispered, giving her a long kiss on her forehead. "I love you so much, My Love... Let's forget about everything and start anew, hmm?"

Still crying, a smile formed on her lips. "Sorry, Ji."

"I'm sorry, too." He told her.

"Kiko was here earlier... She made me realize a lot of things. She made me realize I can't live without you... Without your love." She sniffed.

"The twins were here as well last night... They talked to me about what Minzy and Dae told them... about why you have to act that way."

"God has used them as instruments for us to realize things... They pulled us out from drowning in our own emotions."

"Let's both promise each other we'll discuss things and never keep secrets, okay?"

Dara nodded.

He kissed her temple and started drying her tears.

She did the same and it made them both chuckle.

"No more misunderstanding?"

"No more... I love you, Ji." She looked at him with so much love.
