The Payment [L&H S.1]

Chapter 15

Taehyung stops the engine of the car and park it.

He is trying to absorb what had Sujeong said. HE IS IMPORTANT TO HER!

He slowly turn his body at her. He can tell that she is blushing since her cheeks were red. She can't tell that it is because of thw weather because the aircon of the car were on.

"What?"

"I won't say it twice. I alreasy said it. Now if you let me, just take me to my old home."

"Sujeong." As he held her hand. Still she's facing the car window. Sujeong's heart still beating so fast.

"Sujeong, please look at me." He pleadingly said.

She slowly face him. But still her gaze is out of the car. She can't look at him directly in the eyes.

"I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Her eyes still fixed outside.

"You are important to me." He simply said. But Sujeong wants to hear more from him. "Do you still remember our first meeting?"

"Yeah. At the party."

"That was our third meet."

She look at him with confusion. "What?"

"I first meet you is when I was 7 years old at the park. You were crying because you were lost."

Then a glimpse of memory came out. She remember it. But she forgot the face of the kid who helped her back then.

"Our second meet was during the company's camping. I am Handsome Tae."

She feel mix emotion on his confession. All along, the guy she encountered with is her first crush!

"I still remember what our promised is. It is we will marry each other at the right time."

She remain speechless. Unable to utter a word.

"If you want evidence to prove that I am Handsome Tae is that I am the one who called you Bbangddeok. Because of your cheeks."

"Really? Then why you didn't introduce yourself to me? Why do we have to end up like this?"

"Because you were with Jangjun! I was fucking jealous!"

Her eyes grew in wide. She never expect him to say it.

"Wanna know why I am jealous? Because I love you! And I will do my very best for you to stay with me!"

She is totally damn speechless again. His confession is all she wants to hear. She didn't know that her tears are falling.

"Hey. Why are you crying?" Taehyung is now panicking. He didn't know what to do.

"Because I have been longing to hear those words to you."

Then he hug her tightly. "Please don't cry."

"This is just a tears of joy." She said while wiping her tears off. "Because I love you too."

Taehyung can't believe on what he just heard. Sujeong love him!

"Really? How? Why? When?"

He earn a chuckles from Sujeong because of his reaction.

"I am damn jealous to Yuju because both of you were close, I was down when your parents expect you and her to be together." She said, she lower her head to hide her expression.

"Yuju is just a friend of mine."

"And I ask Jangjun to help me to make you jealous. We aren't starting yet, but seems like a success because you did. And there is no exact reason why I love you. It just happened. I don't even remember when I start to have a feelings for you."

His jaw drops. "Why you didn't tell me?"

"It should be the man to confess first, right? And took you so long?"

"I was holding my pride because it is all that I have. You had my heart already but I am afraid to confesses because you always said that I just want you to stay with me since you are the payment only."

"Well, that was the truth."

Taehyung pouts. "Just half-truth and half-lie." He admitted. "Because of that we united. We became closer to each other and you become mine. I love you, Ryu Sujeong."

And Taehyung took something from his pocket. A velvet box. "I supposedly give this ring during our engagement party, but I forgot. Remember that we didn't finished the party?"

She remembers it clearly. Taehyung took her to his home instead of hers and together of all her things.

"Wow! So beautiful."

And Taehyung slide the ring on her finger. It really fits perfectly.

"I love you too, Kim Taehyung."

He slowly lower his head towards her and claim her lips.
