18. THE END

Listen to me. 

The words stopped the boy in his tracks. He clearly has no expectations or wanting. 

He doesn't say a word and stood there with tears flowing. 

Do you know what you told me? the last thing when you left the country. You said,  WAIT FOR ME, I'LL BE BACK SOON.....AND THAT YOU LOVED ME. Just saying those few words you left me there in shock at the playground. The last meet and the last goodbye. I know I was little and you didn't expect any answer from me then but....but I was ready to give you an answer right then and there. It was just....you were the first boy who ever confessed his love to me.

The girl chuckled through her tears.

 And I didn't know what to say. Then I wanted to tell you what I want but...I was too late. I ran to your home to find you still I was too late and the accident-

HIS HANDS MOVED AND HE SLIGHTLY TRIED TO TURN AROUND.

Don't. 

The girl said. And just like that she walked towards the guy and hugged him from the back. 

If you turn around, I won't be able to say anything so...so stay like this. All I want to say and have always been meaning to say, since childhood till now is.......I...

The girl stopped in her words and sighed. Taking a deep breath with the increasing rate of her heartbeat she says,

I love you too and I will always wait for you. No matter how long and how far you are, no matter how many years I need to wait to see you or to be with you I will. Cause since childhood till now if ever I have loved someone more than anyone is you. And nothing and no one can make me give up on you.......all I want from you is to love me back. Will you? 

The girl slightly got shocked when a drop of tears met the warmth of her hands. That didn't break the back hug though for her she could stay there like that forever the boy stood there as well, he didn't try to break the hug but he didn't also say anything. When the girl stood there in silence..she knows this is not the way she wanted to tell him all of this but he didn't leave her any option.

Few minutes passed away until the girl tried to call the boy's name.

Taehyung?

 Tae?

 V.....?

NO replies. 

TAE..tae?

still no replies.

TAETAE OPPA? 

the girl flinched while saying that but to her surprise, he speaks up.

I have been dying to hear that, god damn it. Fu** it.

The boy breaking the hug finally looks back and kisses the girl. It was by surprise but no one resisted and kissed each other back. Leaving each other breathless. That continued for a few seconds until the boy broke the contact.

You love me. You love me. Yes, you love me.  

Yes, I do. 

You do. 

The boy smiled and looked at her with tears of happiness this time...he took her hand puts it sideways on his face. 

I missed you for too long and all this time I have been missing you.

I know I am sorry.

No, don't be. It was never your fault. I should have never left this country in the first place.
