CHAPTER 16 | A DATE

- Kurano's POV - 

- THE SACRED GARDEN, Thursday, 9:20 PM - 

We gaze onto the beautiful fields, glowing in front of us.

I look at the golden locket she gave me.

It's beautiful.

The inside has a drawing of a feather in it.

I held it tight under my coat.

Maybe it's the right time to ask her.

All I want to do is tell her my feelings.

Because I already have a choice.

I gather up courage to speak up.

"Hey, would you like me to take you somewhere?" I ask, bringing out the small crystal onto my hand.

"Where are we going?" She returns, her eyes stuck to the fields.

I bring out the crystal, and nudged her to hold it.

She did, and we fade out.

I wanted to show her the place where it was dear to me.

A place where my mother met my father.

A place where we'd go and play.

A place that was stuck in both my mind and my heart.

We managed to fade in to the place.

Here we are, the forest of moonlight.

- Emalynne's POV - 

- THE FOREST OF MOONLIGHT, 9:25 PM - 

I look at the place with surprise.

The moonlight illuminates the trees, making it a beautiful atmosphere to gaze off.

"W-wow, it's beautiful." Those words came out of my mouth.

Without another word, I wander everywhere, looking at the gorgeous view.

The place is perfect, since the moon is directly illuminating the forest.

I didn't realize that I got lost.

Crap.

"Kurano, where are you?" I search around, but I couldn't see him.

In the corner of my eye, a white beam glows out.

Curiosity hits me, and I follow it.

When I got to the source, I saw Kurano, with a glowing crystal on his hand.

"Oh, there you are." He murmurs, sitting down by the cliff side.

"Come here. The view here is phenomenal." He beckons to a place beside him.

I shrugged and sat beside him.

This view...

I love it.

It's rare to have a beautiful place like this.

I can feel the moonlight bathing us in white.

My feelings grow bigger for him.

I wanted to get it out of my chest.

I wish he would have feelings back as well.

We sat there in silence, enjoying the fresh breeze and the look.

- 9:35 PM - 

The silence makes me feel awkward around him.

I fell for him, ever since I saw him.

He is beautiful, just like what I've dreamed of.

His kind attitude made me want to stay forever.

The strong pounding in my heart...

The heat I can feel on my cheeks...

And the long silence...

I couldn't take it anymore.

Gathering courage, I speak up.

"K-Kurano..." I start, turning to him.

He slightly shifts, turning to me.

His expression shows slight concern.

"Ever since I met you, I've been feeling something..." I continue, looking down, blushing intensely.

By now, he seems nervous.

"My h-heart pounds and I f-feel awkward sometimes around y-you." My heart starts to beat faster.

"I-I..." Hesitation takes over me.

I stand up quickly and tried to run.

I was too scared to say that.

In a second, I slipped, and I was about to fall.

I closed my eyes, expecting to fall from the cliff.

But someone caught me.

I can sense a warm hand, gripping my wrist tightly.

I turn around to see Kurano, holding my wrist.

Oh no...
