AREUM'S POV
"She left already. What's the matter? Did the two of you fight?" Mom asks me.
Mom is a pure blood and she's one of those who got rescued from the chamber.
Unfortunately, my Dad really dies a long time ago during the war.
But I'm happy that at least I still have a Mom.
I was here in my room and Mom was talking about Shannon who just left.
"Did she get mad?" I ask instead of answering her question coz I told her to tell Shannon that I'm not home.
"No, she just said that she'll be waiting for you in the place where you usually meet." Mom said.
I sigh.
"What's the matter?" Mom asks again.
"I'm just pressured Mom. She always asks me when I will propose to her. I get so pressured to the point that I feel uncomfortable around her. "I explained.
"Then, why don't you just tell her that you're not yet ready. Talk to her about it instead of avoiding her. She might get the wrong idea in what you're doing" she said.
"But I'm afraid that she won't understand" I said.
"She will if she really loves you. Areum-ah stop thinking that Shannon is a kid. She's your girlfriend so treat her that way" She said.
I sighed.
She was right.
"Thank you Mom" I said and hug her before I go outside to meet Shannon.
She's right there in the sea shore.
I smile when I heard her talking to a shell.
She's so cute.
I guess she got bored waiting for me.
"Yah! Why are you not answering me?" She got mad in at the shell and throws it to the sea.
She really thinks the shell would talk to her?
I was about to go near her but...
"Ahrrghh Lee Areum! Why don't you just tell me what's wrong? Don't you love me anymore?" She said while ruffling her hair.
I guess mom was right.
She's getting the wrong idea.
"I still love you and I always will" I said.
She got shock and stand up.
"R-Reumie?... Since when you're there? "She asks.
"Since I saw my girlfriend talking to a shell" I said and giggled.
She looks down.
I think she gets shy.
I walk closer to her and lift her face.
"Sorry if I made you wait" I said
She pouts.
"I know you're just on your room a while ago. Why did your Mom told me you're not home? Did she not like me for you?" She ask.
"She do like you. Its...It's me who ask her to do that and I'm sorry" I said and she got surprise.
Her eyes suddenly gone teary.
"W-wae? Do you not love me anymore?" She asks.
I cup her face
"I told you I love you. That never change" I said and give her a peck on the lips.
