The Binding Angel (Completed)

Chapter 14

The dim light of the night lamp shined giving a slight light on the room. They were on a deep thought after a long reunion they had. Their naked body was covered with a blanket. His hand was rubbing her hair while hugging her petite body who laid on his right side. He felt her calm breath on his skin. Sometimes, she tightened her hug on him not letting him go.

"Oppa, why are you so cool?"

"I am.." 

"Why are you coming at the right time? I have fallen in love with you," she mumbled on his hug while he kept caressing her hair softly. She imitated their past conversation that was innocent and aggressive from her. The conversation was still lingering on her mind. 'Did it also linger to him too?'

"Uhm..." he replied with his deep voice and kissed her forehead. She scrunched her face and tightened her hug on him. She missed him.

"Tskk... I like a cool man..." she mumbled again in a low voice.

"So.." he strayed his sight far away. The conversation was still lingered on his mind too, even after so long.

"I want to marry a cool man someday.." she added the same words again.
Hyunbin didn't answer the question and just rubbing her hair. His eyes strayed far through the night remembering his past with her. The conversation that was being too early for them to get an explicit answer while they were being separated after that.

"I won't.." the different answer twitched her heart. It was different. 'Is he changed?' the answer made Yejin thought further.  She thought that he didn't want to go into a deeper relationship with her. She almost on verge of tears hearing the words while suddenly he lifted her chin to face him fully.

"I won't before you got your book published. Didn't you say you want to be a writer first before my wife?" he said with his deep stare on hers. Yejin felt it again. His sacrifice to her again. Her tears fell slowly to her cheek.

" You read my diary." she pouted and he gave a slight smile to her.

"Again? Don't cry !" He whispered wiping the tears away. Yejin wiped her tears as he told.

She was dazed seeing the new Oppa of her. Her hand suddenly covered his forehead, wanted to remind the past. The long hair he had back then that almost covered his eyes. Yejin then traveled her finger to his ear, there she saw two piercing scars on it. She blinked her eyes in surprise and thought 'why didn't she realize it before?'. The scars were slightly shown which seemed like he didn't use it for a long time.

"I think that what you had said in the past is true Oppa." She sighed deeply with her tears started to fall again.

"Again..??? You should pay me just to wipe your tears." He back to his free spirit while wiping her tears again. Yejin pouted hearing at his cheeky side.

"I should pay it though for the whole things you've done.." she sighed deeply. Hyunbin can't help to tease her again, but here it is when the money things got involved, it also twitched his heart. He didn't even count anything to her, but on other hand, she felt burdened.

"So.. What I had said back then?" he started to divert her focus again.

"Stupid.." she pouted made him burst into a laugh.

" I think so.." he giggled teasing her. Yejin furrowed her brows to him feeling mad. Hyunbin smiled faintly seeing this view. The view that he was longing for. He didn't even know it will happen to him again after those long years. He stopped teasing her and turned serious. Seeing his sudden change in facial expression, she also turned her face into a serious one.

"Seeing you near me. Seeing you look at me straight. Hearing your voice is calling me with my name. And finally, you recognize me, are more than enough for me. I am sorry for leaving you back then." he said sincerely from the deepest of his heart. He stopped for a moment and gulped his throat to confess the way he almost is the husband of Seonhwa.
