"let's elope" eyes widening and heart throbbing into somersaults, I had to think twice and made it clear that what I heard was what I thought I heard him say. My ears could be just fooling me, right?
My hands fiddled with the cloth of my sweater as we wait for the bus to finally make its stop on my house, despite everything that happened this day . . . I can't just leave them, as much as I don't want to be inside that hell, I've got no choice. Jeongguk was against the idea of taking a ride on a bus but since the both of us were still wounded, he had no choice.
"umm . . p—pardon?" I nervously trailed as his eyes met mines and I saw the seriousness in it. No, I must only be hearing things. There is just no way could he have spoken of that, we're young and still have many things to do—he has a big dreams and I, too.
We have so many many things at our future and eloping is just . . . just out of the question.
"i'm going to take you with me"
eyes almost popping out, my mouth hang open, "a—are you being serious?" I spoke, my voice rather getting high
"do i look like i'm kidding?"
"b—but . . . we're broke and what about a place to stay and what abou—"
"look" cupping my face and voice lowering, he spoke "i have my own bank account that my dad didn't knew about, so money is not a problem and my mom gave me an apartment when she died . . . that off also my dad didn't knew about. Do you remember the house you slept with me, that's under my name. my only concern is that if you are willing to come with me"
"b—but why . . why all of a sudden and why me?"
"cause i love you and—" cheeks blushing tremendously and cutting him in his sentence. "y—you're crazy"
"yeah i am. i am going crazy knowing that the person hurting you is living with you under one roof! i'm going insane and i don't wanna let you go off right now after what happened! can you blame me if i just wanted to protect the woman i love?"
Speechless and touched, i couldn't formulate any words to speak "i—"
"i can't bear seeing you hurt . . . how insensitive of me to never think of your own sister abusing you. i promised to protect you and now . . . now, i finally understand why taehyung always seems to know what to do when it comes to your family, i'm so sorry"
"i—it wasn't your fault"
"i don't care"
"b—but are you r—really serious?"
Hand helding mine, he leaned closer to my face, "come with me, please"
I know that we were in a public utility bus but, it was a good thing that only a few people were inside, "but"
"but?"
"please tell the three magic words, again?"
"three magic words?" he asked as my cheeks couldn't help but blush as my eyes diverted its gaze anywhere but his eyes. i know it's childish of me to request for something i've always heard him say but . . . right now, i just wanted to hear it once again so i could finally make my final decision. "yeah"
"wha—ohh" his eyes were confused for a second before it morphed into a teasing smile. oh how i knew that he was going to just tease me for it.
"um . . . if its just okay with you, that is. i mean, you don't have to if you don't want to and i'm no—"
"i love you" at the mention of those words was the same time his lips met my cheek, giving a sweet sweet heart fluttering peck.
Heart thumping and feeling alive once again, i couldn't help but let the smile paint my lips "i'll come with you"
