8 Lettered Love Story, End

Changkyun catches his breath as he runs up to Athena

"wait *huff*"

Athena turns around as Changkyun holds her hand

"Wait, *huff* don't *huff* turn around *huff*" Changkyun pants his sentences out

Athena looks away, blushing

"There's *huff* a * huff * *huff*" Changkyun tries another effort to catch his breath, now hands on knees.

"There's a last book I *huuuffff* want you to review" He finally manages

"W-what?" Athena asks in disbelief, and here I was thinking it would be something romantic. She reprimands herself.

"It's a short story, and....I wrote it" Changkyun shyly says , his voice dropping with each word.

"Oh, um, uh, Congrats? and Sure I'll review it for you" Athena hesitates and was about to turn around when Changkyun yanks her, making her face him.

"Listen well, it's a very short story. A beginning" Changkyun seriously tells her while holding her shoulders

"O-okay" She carefully nods

"I-" He clears his throat "I like you"

He was looking directly in her eyes, she couldn't escape from the sincerity.

"Th-that's not a s-story"

"Well, I need help to finish the chapter, and for that I need a response." Changkyun smiles

"God, I'm so cheesy" He buries his face in his hands and starts punching the snow off the playground's Monkey Bars

"This is Mom's romance books fault" He mutters

"Changkyun?" Athena taps him on the shoulder

"I'd hate it if a story like this would just fly away from my hands, I know a good book when I read one; And I can tell from the first page that it's perfect"

Changkyun freezes upon hearing these words

"So what I'm saying is, how about we write that book together?" Athena smiles...

And Changkyun smiles back.
