A Love That Will Make It Right

XIX: THE REASON

JIHYO'S POV

"Have you eat already?" I asked him and he shyly shook his head. I sighed and chuckled. "Jinjja!" I exclaimed and stood up.

I went to the kitchen to prepare something for him. It's good thing that I have some groceries left in my fridge. I picked them up and put on the table.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked him, shouting for him to hear me. But I didn't get a response from him. I sighed and prepared the ingredients.

While I am busy preparing, I suddenly felt arms embracing me that gave a chills on my spine and made me goosebumps. Due to shock, I pushed him that surprised him.

"M-mianhaeyo" I quickly apologized and bowed my head. "Aish! Jinjja! What are you even thinking? Why are you hugging me? Seriously, this is wrong. Even letting you in to my condo without anyone aside from ourselves is already a big sin. Yoongi, you will be getting married. What are you even doing here with me?" I said non-stop, panicking about what happened. He smirked.

"So you knew about the marriage? That's the reason why I am here. It's because of you. I disagreed with that arranged marriage and disobeyed my parents. I don't even know why but that time, I am only thinking of you. How will you if I'm going to get married? What will happen to me if I will never get to be with you anymore? And because of that, I got kicked out from our house and wandering for almost 2 weeks" he said then sighed.

I don't know how to react. That explains why he looks like he lost some weight. And that explains also why he's hungry now. I don't know what to do so I just held his face and he rubbed his face on my hand intentionally. I smiled.

"You're doing that again. Is it to recharge?" I teased and he nod his head. I smiled and hugged him tight which he hugged me back.

"Oh God, I missed you Jihyo" he exclaimed and I know, he's sniffing me now. I chuckled and sniffed him too. I missed him.

I missed everything about him. His smell, his broad shoulder and arm, his touch, his skin, I missed it all.

"I thought we should act like a total strangers when we meet each other. Why are you even asking for my help?" I joked, remembering what we talked about the last time we talked. He was about to react violently and break the hug when I stopped him. "Hajiman (don't)" I said that he gladly followed.

"You really missed me huh" he said with full confidence that made me yawned 'yes' which us true. I really missed him. "I just said those words to you because I'm hurt. And you still not saying your true reason why you left me" he replied that made me break our hug.

I went out of the kitchen and walked towards the living room. He followed me immediately and sat beside me on the couch.

The moment he asked, it made me think, is it the right time to tell him the truth? But I was scared, I know that if I told him the truth, he will surely choose to stay by my side. And I know that if that happens, his life will be ruined.

"Jihyo, I know that your work is not the real reason behind you leaving me 3 years ago. Please let me know" he begged and held my hand and kissed it.

I sighed and smiled.

Today, I realized that I should choose my own happiness over the others. I should be selfless just for once. I should do what would make me happy like what this man in front of me did. He take the risk of being with me to the point that he even left his better life with his family's wealth for me.
