Best Of Me

I Still Love You

Before we broke our hug, I told her "Wheein....about last night...." "What do you mean? Did something happen to us?" "N-no...nothing happened...um....I know you don't remember because you were drunk but you spoke of me & Irene...." "D-did I?....I-I didn't mean to..." She apologetically said. "No, don't be...." "W-why not?" "Someone told me that....you thought she and I were back together...."  She then got up and leaned her back on the pillows with a confused expression. "A-aren't you? I mean....you've been talking a lot about her these past few days...." She said as I got up and sat next to her.

"She and I....are only acquaintances, though I think I misinterpreted what you asked me before....when you asked me if we got back together......we're only acquaintances...though I don't entertain her calls that much." I said as I looked into her eyes.

"So....the two of you aren't together?" "No....we're not..." She then looked down and said, "So, I guess I was wrong...", so it's true that she was jealous....

"Wheein.....mind if you tell me honestly..." I said as I held her wrist, "Do you.....still have feelings for me?" I saw her look blank for a moment, just then she replied.

"How would you react if.....I told you?...." She said as she held on to my hand. "Well.....if you said you don't, I guess I don't have a chance of loving you because someone else owns your heart.....but if you said yes, then I still have hope of us being together again...."

I waited patiently for her reply, at the same time I was nervous....

"Taehyung....I still love you......" She said with a more nervous tone, I then hugged her tightly, I was afraid she wouldn't hug back but she did, but even tighter that she buried her face in my shoulder. As we let go, she looked straight in to my eyes, "Speaking of the hospital....what did you want to tell me back then?" I said, "Taehyung.....Minggyu and I are no longer together..." She said with a nervous smile on her face. "Since when?" I asked, I've always wanted to hear her say that.

"That night.....before the accident...." I guess she changed her mind to tell me when I talked to Irene over the phone. "Taehyung....I really wanted to admit it to you.....but I was afraid you'd reject me....."

"Look....." I said as I slowly held her cheek, "You know I would never reject you....and besides....what ever things we fought about, I always took it as an obstacle for the both of us to overcome...." She then held my hands and laid her head on my shoulder. "Why would you say that then?" "Because my heart hurt so much when I wasn't with you, when you loved Minggyu..." 

"To be honest with you......I never really loved him and...I never took my relationship with him seriously..." I then got surprised of the words that just came out of her mouth, "So...you didn't really love him?" "Nope..." She said with a nervous laugh, "All the while I thought..." "Because I love you...Taehyung....I always have...."

"Are you sure you're not drunk anymore?" I teased, she then playfully slapped my arm and shared a laugh together.

Okay, now I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach again after a long time.....but should I ask her now?
