A sudden confession is like hit and run. It hits you so quickly that you feel disoriented and leaves you with little less time to react.
"You should take responsibility."
I turn around and face him. Even with the glaring rays of the sun, I can clearly make out his serious expression.
"What did I do?"
I swallow hard as he walks towards me, his gaze holding mine, never letting it go.
"You stole my heart."
This feels surreal. It feels as if anytime now, the director will shout "CUT" and I'll be yanked back to reality.
Yet he holds my hand, assuring me that this isn't just a dream.
I didn't realize that tears are already forming in my eyes. Didn't notice them until they start blurring my vision.
I can't remember how many times I dreamt of this. Can't recall how many times I've stopped myself from showing my feelings, believing I'm undeserving of such happiness.
His face softens as he gently wipes my tears.
"Hey, I was just kidding. I don't mean to pressure you."
I breathe hard and shake my head. There's no pressure now.
"You're right."
I clasp his hand tighter and place them next to his chest.
"What will happen to that fragile heart of yours if I don't?"
I drag him towards the house, hiding my smile all the while. We walk in comfortable silence as we wander the vast uphill road.
"I didn't know you were part of it, Shuang."
He says after awhile.
"Part of what?"
"I was supposed to be the Crown Prince Liu Che."
Ahh... that.
"Yes, I heard." I say. "Why didn't you take it?"
He sighs. "My team didn't think the role suits my image. Had I known you'll be part of it..."
"You'll take it?" I hold my breath for his answer.
He smiles at me.
"Of course."
I smile at him. A thought suddenly comes to my mind.
"When I read the script, I imagined you as the Crown Prince."
