Beach Days [JaeSeong]

Chapter Eighteen

(Inseong's pov)

We walk in silence for a while. I can't stop thinking about what my mom said to Jaeyoon.
- Yoonie?
- Yes?
- Is what my mom said true?
- About what?
- About you blaming yourself.
He doesn't reply for a few seconds but then he nods and I stop walking.
- Why? Why would you?
- C'mon you know why. It's my fault you had a fight with your dad. It's my fault you don't want to go.
- Oh, shut up.
He looks at me like he could break into a million pieces depending on what I say next. So I keep talking.
- You know I hate the idea of studying law. You know I hate the idea of working with him. Before I met you I already hated all of this.
- I know, but you wouldn't have said anything and...
- Jaeyoon!! You're the reason I'm fighting for my happiness! You're the reason I won't accept being a sad horrible lawyer for the rest of my life. You should be proud of it and not ashamed. Can't you see you made me a better person? You should be honored because I'm doing this because I love you, you stupid, stupid boy.
At this point he starts to cry and before I can do anything he jumps on me, hugging me tight with his arms around my neck. I whisper "you're such a cry baby" while putting my arms around his waist.
- But you love me - he says giggling.
- I do - I reply seriously.
- I love you too - he whispers back.
