Chapter Thirty Three

I draped my hand around his waist and kept my head on his shoulder. Then I wiped his tears off.

He shouldn't be crying...

“I am sorry for giving you a hard time. I was such a dumb girl. But I never thought you’d like me. Yet, though you annoyed me enough to leave South Korea altogether, I’d be lying if I say that I didn’t like having you around. ”

I tightened my arm around him and half cuddled him.

Yoongi was surprised at that and looked at me as I hugged him.

“I love you Min Yoongi.... I am not the best you can have but, I will be the best I can ever be for you. I was not sure about my own self but I know now; I had already fallen in love with you though I had deceived myself that I hated you. Sorry for keeping you waiting...”

“I need not say what I said yesterday, waaah ... Your Yoongi Oppa gets tired easily.”

He remarked and kissed the top of my head.
I did not think twice to close my eyes. These were the perfect moments that I ever wanted to have in my life.

“I love you too Kristene.”

What could two people do after confessing except grinning at each other like idiots?

In my case, you could cry.

“Don’t cry Krissy. If you start crying, I’d have to do something to stop crying and you wouldn’t like it.”

Yoongi poked my cheek.

Min Holly who was sitting next to the piano, approved the whole situation and wagged his tail in assent, looking so excited. 

“Oppa, I will always ... always cheer you on and love you the best I can and I will stick on to you like an octopus and  ...”

I ran out of words. I was having so many emotions inside my heart.

“... this is our forever.” Yoongi added.

“... that we found for ourselves.”

"But don't be an octopus. Be something cute and stick with me." Yoongi smiled.

Okay, now was the time for the stupid grinning.

“Don’t get carried away Min Yoongi. We are not an official couple until the finals are over. That means, you are quite my boyfriend, yet you are not because we haven’t faced finals. Do you understand?”

“De de.. arasso. Until exams end, you are my unofficial girlfriend.”

“Silly Yoongi...”

“You are too silly to love a silly man. Now.. you come here..” Yoongi chuckled and pulled me.

“Yaaa... what in the world!” I yelled.

“None has said that it is unlawful for Min Yoongi’s unofficial girl to sit on his lap and learn to play the piano.”

“It is illegal from now on Min Yoongi-ssi.”

“You are such a tease Kristene.” Yoongi grumbled.

“I will sit here, you can kneel beside me because you are tall.”

“Fine, Miss Andrews. Whatever you say.”

Yoongi knelt beside me and took my hands in his and started to play the keys with my fingers.

As you could imagine, it really did sounds weird, but it did not matter anymore to us.

After all the playing, Yoongi was super excited that I actually accepted him. Well, even my acceptance was unofficial because it all depended on my mom’s final decision. I told that to Yoongi.

“Well, there are lot of things for her to say 'no' to you and me. For an example ...”

“Shuush,” I said as I kept my index finger on his lips that were soft and pink. “Do you want to see all the negative sides now? It hasn’t even been 24 hours since I accepted you!”

“Mianheyo...” Yoongi pouted.

“Awww, cute Oppa.”

“Stop that... By the way, are you in for Kookie’s camp thing? He asked me to come,” Yoongi asked.

“Yeah, he has been a good friend to me. There was no way for me to say ‘no’ to him.”

“Don’t think I am jealous but, Kookie has been behaving a bit off these days. At first I thought it was because of the stress and the tons of organising he had to do, yet ... it cannot be just  that.”

“Min Yoongi is jealous.”

“No, I am not. It is that I can read body language.”

“Strange that your body language reading skills couldn’t guess that I liked you.”

“Believe me or not, I actually felt that you were falling for me. But my expert brain told me to play dumb, so I did.” He grinned.

“Have you been at school at night Yoongi?”

“Me... ? Well ...” Yoongi thought for a while as he bit his bottom lip.

“Yes... I have been there before.”

“I haven’t been there at night. It will be my first night at school.”

“Are you scared?”

“No, why should I be?”

“Idiot. You are supposed to say that you are scared! It happens in books.”

Min Yoongi was clearly not happy about my reaction.

“I was just joking. I am really scared of night. It makes me remember things that I want to forget. Every time when those thoughts get alive, I see nightmares. It is so difficult to sleep soundly after that. I feel paranoid that the monsters will come out from the box under my bed again. I close eyes because I have to, else I would have kept awake. I've experienced scary things, Oppa.”

I was afraid. So afraid that I hated that night was something I had to go through.

“You have me. I won’t leave you. Remember that it is only in the night sky we can see trillions of stars glittering. There is always hope.”

Yoongi said that as he pulled me into a tight hug.

Holly was surprised at Yoongi's reaction, so he gave two little yip yaps.

Yoongi... only if the monsters I told you about weren’t real ...
