Tao and You

“I… Uhm… A-Actually I…” Tao, your senior at your college, try so hard to talking as he shyly takes a glance at you. He asks you whether you have a time to meet him after college end at the café near your college building. So, here you are now, sitting in front of Tao after both of your order come. “Wait a minute.” He said before letting out his breath nervously. The cool image of a guy who is extremely good at playing a nunchuck and a genius at Wushu gone without a trace, and now is being replaced by a shy and innocent guy. “What I wanna say is…” There’s a pause and you tilted your head a little in confusion. “Oh God, why are you so cute?” He suddenly dazed off as he look at you admirably.

“Uh?” You asked in confusion, not getting what the meaning of Tao’s words.

“Aaah… No… It’s not… I mean, it’s not like that. I mean… No… No… No… It doesn’t mean that you aren’t cute because you are. Really! But it’s just---” he stopped as you chuckled lightly of the scene in front of you. “Ah… S-Sorry…” He said as his cheek blushing red now.

“Uh, no… I’m sorry. You can take your time seonbae*.” You said as you smile gently at him.

“I love you.” He said like he’s been hypnotized by your smile. Your eyes grow wide because you never expecting this kind of situation. After a moment he realized what he just said as his cheek is as red as tomato right now. The silent suddenly fills the atmosphere as no one talk. “So…?” Tao asked, breaking the silent as he feeling extremely nervous as you didn’t say anything.

“A-Are you s-sure?” You asked him as you blush.

“Of course I am. It’s been a long time since I have this feeling. I—I hope you want to be my girlfriend because I love you.” He said again, but this time looks into your eyes with a lot of sincere.

“O-Okay…” You said shyly in a low tone but he still can hear you and you can tell he really like it because he can’t stop smiling and showing how happy he is.

After that both of you officially become a couple. It’s been a week since both of you become a couple now. You walk out from your last class and you can see Tao standing not too far from your class. You walk closer to him as he look at you and magically, a beautiful smile formed by his lips. “Let’s go.” You said when you already standing in front of him. Both of you still feel a little bit awkward with each other. Even he never makes any skinship after his confession, until now. You didn’t complain about it though, since you didn’t want to rush a thing and you didn’t want Tao feel burdened if you rush him or so.

You look at him and smile at him as you walk side to side with him. He asked about you day, your classes and you do the same. Making a very comfortable conversation, as he walked you home, just like what he did since last week. Your conversation never makes you want to walk into the wall and hid yourself in there forever.
