When The Moon Covers The Sun

Chapter 37

Moonbyul's POV

"I'm sorry."

The only words I have spoken since Yongsun finished telling me everything. The marriage, eric being gay, her father, and every single thing that happened in her life this past week. Hearing her reasons for lying makes me feel guilty for avoiding and declining her explanation.

"No, it's okay, it's my fault anyway. I should have told you in the very first place. Instead, I got s-scared... I'm scared that you'll lose interest in our relationship i-if you'll know about the marriage.. I'm scared that you may distance y-yourself from me. I don't want that. I'm scared of losing y-you, byul."

Tears are slowly glistening in her lovely eyes as she bows down her head for me not to see it. I want to pinch her cheeks and tell her how cute she is but as much as I love seeing her cuteness, I hate to see her crying because of my stupidity.

I stood up from my seat and slowly walked towards her side.

We have talked in her office earlier and just decided to eat in the nearest place our feet would take us. I'm thankful this restaurant isn't that crowded at this kind of time. I don't want them to witness such drama between us.

I sat close to her, so close that even the slightest air can't pass between our bodies. If there is more close than this, let me know so I would do it. I don't care what the people might say. I just want her near my body.

Still her head down, her hands find their way to the white table cloth colliding in her thighs as she's lowkey playing with it, rolling its edge and gently caressing it in her small palm. Cute.

"The moment you have first mentioned this arranged marriage at the park, I have told you I'll help you deal with it right. I didn't remember saying you'll lose me if it'll happen. Besides, it's not your fault. You didn't want this thing to happen and that's enough for me to stay by your side."

"I admit I got upset when you lied, but you have your reasons and that's valid. I may be stupid for avoiding you but I'm not idiot enough to let you lose me. I'm just waiting for the right time to talk to you and Mr.Park gave it to me."

That's right. If Mr.Park didn't force me to talk to her and made this a mission, we could not possibly right here in this moment, apologizing to each other.

I kiss her right temple that made her sigh in relief.

"Look at me." I added.

Her small hands stop on what it's doing as she slowly grabs my left hand and played with it, pinching every tip of my fingers but still not looking at me.

"I said look at me, not play with my hand yong." I said softly, almost whisper. I'm afraid I might ruin her cute little moment. She looks so vulnerable and fragile, I don't want her to be startled.

"I'm s-shy." Yongsun replied, shyly. Of course. She has the audacity to feel shy from all the moments we shared for the past months?

A throaty chuckle escaped from my mouth that made her bow down her head more. It feels like Yongsun's a teenager first time meeting her internet crush and confessing her love... which I find cute by the way.

I placed my other arm at the table and lean my cheeks with it. This position gives me enough sight of her cuteness, giving me an opportunity to memorize her face for a souvenir when I get home later.
