My heart has always belonged to you: A Monday Couple fanfic

Chapter 9: A cold but sweet night

Kang Gary's POV

I wasn't sure anymore of what I was doing; as soon as Ji hyo went out of the car, my hands grabbed the door's handle and I ran after her.

"Ji hyo-ah!" I called out but she didn't stop. Where was she going?

As I was staring at her leaving, an instant pain stabbed my heart. It was similar.. it was similar to that time when she turned her back against me and left. That time she had problems with her ex-boyfriend and I offered my help but she didn't needed it. I couldn't do anything that time and all I could do was watch her get farther away from me.

But.. but this time it's different. Ji hyo is turning her back and is leaving because of something I did. It was my fault. This time it is my fault. I'm so stupid. 'Gary you're so stupid!' I argued inside my head.

I can't just leave Ji hyo like this. I just can't. I ran as fast as I could towards her. "Ji hyo-ah stop!" I shouted to her again but she didn't look back.

I won't let her go this time. Even if she will hate me for doing such stupid things, I will do anything I can to win her. I can't give up easily.

With my self-encouragement I increased the speed of my legs and I came closer to her enough to grab her arm.

"Ji hyo please stop!" I said to her.

"Let go Gary, leave me alone!" she shouted back at me as she pushed my hand away.

Her words absolutely stung. It felt like my heart shattered into pieces like a glass that was purposely dropped.

But my instinct told me to hold on. I shouldn't just leave her.

I instantly stopped her from behind putting my arms around her.

Ji hyo didn't say anything neither did she reject my embrace.

My feelings at the moment were mixed up. Emotions were over flowing and I couldn't think straight. I felt my eyes were filling up with tears.

"I'm sorry Ji hyo-ah" I blurted out. I was sorry, I really was. I didn't mean to make Ji hyo mad or even cry.

"I'm sorry but I can't leave you alone." I continued and by then my tears were rolling down my cheeks. "Please don't turn your back on me." I told her.

Ji hyo didn't move a muscle. She just stood there between my arms. I was waiting for a response but she didn't say anything yet.

My tears continued to fall. I didn't want Ji hyo seeing me cry so I continue to hold her in my arms waiting for her to respond.

"Gary-ah" she slowly breathed out and paused.

My heart started to flutter as soon as I heard her voice. I didn't know what she was going to say. Will she accept or reject me?

Waiting for the answer just added to the nervousness I was feeling. It was as if I was hoping that Ji hyo wouldn't say anything so that we could stay like this longer. Wouldn't that be better?

But I knew what was she was going to say was important so I silently waited for her to speak again. My heart was still beating loudly inside my chest.

"I love you too." She finally said and the words rang loudly inside my head.

Song Ji Hyo said she loves me too, didn't she?

I knew that somewhere in my heart, I wanted her to say those three words back to me but i really didn't much expected it.

But hearing the words 'I love you' from her mouth seemed like a dream. My heart pounded even stronger in my chest and my eyes started to tear up even more.
