And Then I Met You

15 : For A Better Me

" Am I worth for your love Sungjae ? "

His heart drops again when those words being said by her. Is she worth it ? She's more than worth it. That question should not be coming out from her. It was him who suppose to ask her that. He always thought whether is he's good enough to be by her side, to lead their life and this lady would be the death of him when she shyly ask him those.

" I should be the one who ask that Sooyoung-ah, not you. Am I worth to be part of your life ? "

" You're already part of me Sungjae. Without realise, I've allowed you to be in my life more than what I really need. And sadly I only realised it on the day you reach out for me, stoping me from sinking further from my shattered hearts. From that on, a stronger feelings had invaded my heart. And I know, at that moment I really like you. You're right. You made me confused on that night but you also made me realise whether I am ready to have this feeling for you. Worse, I'm afraid if I misinterpret your intentions.

But now here you are, answering every single concerns that I have from that night making my heart to feel at ease. Thank you Sungjae-ah.
But . . . "

" I can see that you're still afraid to accept me wholeheartedly. "

" It wasn't you. It's me. Look at me Sungjae. I'm still a mess. And if I want to start a new chapter in my life with you, I want to start it without a flaw. Not like this. So if I'm asking you for some time to get myself back on my feet, will you allow me to do that much ? Because by the time I show up in front of you again, I want you to see a better me. "

She's looking at him with that teary eyes hoping for him to not push her away from him. She really meant what she said.

" Idiot. You scares me to death Park Sooyoung. "

" W-What did I do ? Did I said wrong things ? "

" I really thought that you're pushing me away but turns out you're not. "

" I am . . not . . pushing you away. I just ask for some time to- "

" I know. And you can have all the time that you want. As long as in the end, it will lead you to me. Not that I mind if you're a mess or not but since it's your decision I will respect that. "

" Thank you Sungjae. I'm glad that it's you. I really mean it. "

" Hmm you too. Thanks for showing up in my life. To think about it, you're the one who reach out to me first. So to repay for your kindness, please allow me to heal you Sooyoung. "

" You already did silly. From the moment you let me to be in your arms. You unconsciously did heal me bit by bit. "

He just let out a soft chuckle hearing those words from her. " You know that, you can be cringe at some point. "

" Yah, who started it ? You did too. "

" I know right. But I like it. Do you ? "

" Aaahh, why did you ask me such things ? "

She quickly covered her face with her palm. Couldn't stand anymore of Sungjae's teasing smile to her.

" Wae ? We're at that phase. So what ? "

" Can you stop make me feel embarrassed. Just look at my face. "

" Yes. You're pretty blushing like this. "

" See. You just like to tease me huh ? Will you
stop. "

" Just let me. I'm sure I will miss you more after this. So let me just admire it for a while. "
