Chapter Twenty Six

I had only my study table as a real table here.

He had spread a picnic blanket on it and had placed the two cups of ramen that were sending swirls of heat waves up and had lit a candle.

On the table, in a little glass of water, which acted as a makeshift vase, was a sprig of lilacs.

Holly was indeed so amazed at the setting that he wagged his tail so much, where as I was too shocked to absorb the scene.

Holly was so excited. So was I.

It was so beautiful, so simple.

From a distance, I could hear a sound of a piano.

Everything about the setting was so romantic.

It didn't feel real. Was I dreaming?

Yoongi sauntered into the setting with another sprig of lilacs.

"Y-yoongi Op-pa?"

"You look beautiful, Kristene."

"I am just ... wearing makeshift pyjamas ..."

"You are beautiful whenever you are being you."

I felt my heart beat quicken.

"You look handsome as well," I managed to say with some strain.

My system was going haywire, making me polite.

I didn't like Yoongi to date him, but he had brought the date to me!

"Oh, I nearly forgot. I got the flowers for the most beautiful girl I like."

He presented the sprig of lilacs to me and I was just smiling so much that my eyes got teary.

"It is just so beautiful Oppa, thank you so much for making me feel special." I said amidst the tears.

"Oppa can do lots of things for you, I'm glad that you liked this." He gave an eye smile.

"Let's eat now, shall we?"

He made me sit in front of him and then went and sat in his seat. Both of us started eating together.

The candlelight flattered Yoongi's face a lot. His charcoal black hair fell on his forehead and his pale skin had a soft yellow glow. His mouth formed a little pink upside down triangle when he was eating the ramen.

"It is rude to stare at your date Kristene." Yoongi smiled.

"Nah, I wasn't staring, I was just admiring nature's beauty."

"You should let me stare at you too then."

"There is not so much about me to appreciate," I said, munching the ramen.

Yoongi scoffed at that.

All the time, I kept the lilacs on my lap. I just loved the flowers, simply because purple was a cool colour.

"Why do you like lilacs so much Kristene? Why are you always with lilacs?"

"I like the scent of it, it is wild. I like things that are soft but wild."

"Just like you- and so damn attractive."

"Ya, Oppa..." I cooed as I hit his palm which was on the table lightly.

Was this really Kristene Andrews? Cooing?

"You are a literature student girl, I think you should know about symbolism."

"I will check that later then. I just like lilacs. That is it."

Min Holly had finished his food and was sitting by Yoongi.

"Plus, now you know well when to say 'Oppa' too." Min Yoongi gave a boyish smile.

I just grinned. I was a totally different person now.

"You didn't have to do this Oppa..."

"If you won't date me, I will date you. It is simple Kristene. I just like you a lot. And a lot means a real lot. I liked you since I came here and saw you at the front desk."

"Hajimaa, you are being cheesy. I cannot like you still. I mean... I practically know nothing about you, your family or anything. I just cannot like you until I get assuarance."

"Look in my eyes Kristene..." Yoongi had kept his chopsticks away.

"Why do you need that much of assuarance? ... I mean... do I look like I am lying to you? Does it look like I am toying with you?"

His stern black eyes rested on mine. He was not lying, yet I was dubious.

I broke away from the gaze.

"My mom, she liked dad a lot. He liked her too and loved her, they got married, had children and when some other flashy woman came, my dad left us. He was nowhere to be found. How... How can I know that I will be the girl that you would love, marry, raise kids with and the one you will care for and love even beyond our deaths?" I said.

I had finished my ramen by now and he had finished his a long while ago. Holly was sleeping on my blanket.

He looked comfortable there.

"What if you forget about me like my dad forgot about mom and leave too? I am just scared Yoongi. I don't want to get hurt. When I love, I love fully. I don't do that in a half-baked way. So if you give me hopes and leave me, it would be the hell on earth for me. I just wouldn't be able to bear that. I just cannot live like that..." I continued.

"I understand Kristene. Take your time, but I will treat you the best I can in the meanwhile and even after that. I am serious about you. I mean it when I say that and I like you enough to love you. You aren't the model in the flashy car wearing expensive clothes, but you are simple. I love you. I don't know how many years I might have to wait to make you mine, but you are worth the wait Kristene. What you said is true. You still know nothing about me, you will eventually learn. I won't keep secrets from you and I am not embarrassed to share them with you.

We are on two sides of a river bank and we are building a bridge. The bridge is called mutual understanding. The more we are sensitive to each other and understand each other, the stronger our relationship will be. Building takes time. I will wait for you and continue to love you." He said.

Min Yoongi scratched the back of his neck.

He concentrated, took a deep breath and faced me directly.

"My metaphors are bad. The summary is, I love you Kristene Andrews. I really do. I love you so much that this beating heart of mine throbs inside whenever I see you smile. I have come to a point in my life that I cannot stop composing songs for you. The merry notes on the piano always remind me of your voice. You have become a part of me already and ... I just cannot even dream a life without you. The bad boy Min Yoongi changed so much for the simple girl who quarrels and argues over candies like a child. You still have no reason to believe me yet, but I will prove the reasons and I will never give up on you. I will always love you and cherish you and do everything to keep that smile on your face.

You must know that I passionately love you to marry you, to have babies with you, to grow old with you and to die together with you after seeing many generations of grandkids."

Yoongi stopped for a moment and took my hands in his and held my hands tight.

He took my hand and kissed the back of it.

"This is our forever, Kristene. And I want it for us."

Yoongi ...
He just confessed to me...
