"I'm just wondering, will I ever include in one of the things that you love?"

What? Was I hearing things? This person in front of me really just asked me that kind of question? Unbelievable.

I still couldn't believe it until I feel the light squeeze from those fingers that are still holding me tightly. Looking down at our hands that fit each other ever so perfectly, I try hard to calm my mind as I prepare for my counter-attack.

"Will you push me away again if I say yes?"

My mind played back the moment of us under the cherry blossom tree when someone exclaimed that they're not good enough for me. I can feel my heart ache again whenever I remember the insecurity beneath those mysterious dark orbs.

"I一I can clearly picture the way you cried back then. I never want to see that again, Jisoo. I want to see your smile."  

Biting my bottom lip, I can clearly sense the sincerity underneath those words. As if on cue, I feel the warmth in my heart and slowly my heart-shaped lips move slightly to form a smile with my eyes peeking through my eyelids.

I shake my head immediately as I utter, "No, it wasn't about the game!" The smile is still not leaving their flawless face which makes my heart go uwu. 

"Always put on your breathtaking smile please."

After saying that, I don't even waste any second as I immediately run away from the culprit who makes me said those cheesy words. I'm so embarrassed to the point that I forget everything and when I arrive in front of my house, I finally realize what I just did as I facepalm myself. The way we walked so slowly a few minutes ago was because of not wanting to reach my house so quickly but I just ruin it.

I sigh as I turn around, wanting to walk back only to get startled by the person in front of me. "Why are you already here?"

"I follow you wherever you go."

I slump my body in disappointment as we need to part for today, which I clearly don't want to.

"Do you have plans later?"

Raising my eyebrow in confusion, I c
