He remained silent as I unfolded my story.

He didn't smile, neither did he frown. He was just... Expressionless. He didn't utter a single word throughout my entire explaination. I was choked by tears every now and then, trying to control my emotions. I had been doing such a good job of putting on a brave front but still, the fact that my childhood haunted me, remained. Many a times, I wanted to tell him the truth, but, I always backed out when the sentences reached my lips. I wouldn't dare to risk anything. I didn't want to scare him away, I didn't want to put a strain and awkward feeling to our relationship. I didn't want him to sympathize me. The last thing I wanted, was to receive gazes of sympathy and guilt. Fortunately, that was something that I need not worry about.

"Why are you telling me all these?" After hearing my plight, he spoke up. His tone flat and a little frustrated.

"B-Because... I feel that you have the right to know? Don't you want to know all these?" I was quite surprised by his answer.

"I don't care." He paused for a while before continuing. "The fact that you're now here, the fact that you appeared in my life, the fact that you're an angel, is all that matters."

"B-But... I-I had been... ruined..." I trailed off at the last word, not knowing how to continue. It was clear that he was angry, but I had no idea why was he acting this way.

"I love you, Im Yoona. Why would you ever doubt that?" He sighed and carcassed my face gently, wiping away my tears. "I hate that you have no confidence in yourself. That's the taboo for lawyers you know."

"B-But..." I let out a panic sigh. "I don't know... I was afraid that you would leave me... You would think that I'm not the pure and innocent girl that everyone portray me as..." I poured out my feelings to him for the very first time.

"I love you for your dorkiness, your stubborness, your cheekiness. I won't forsake you just because of some bastard who ruined your body." He cut me off and stared at me sternly. I knew the reason of his anger. It wasn't because I had lied to him. But because, I didn't have more confident in myself and in our relationship. "I just love you for who you're Yoona."

It doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor, ugly or pretty, I just love you for the way you are, Yoong...

That's weird. I just love you for who you are... Why did this sentence sound awfully familiar to me? Why did I see a snapshot of myself being in the park? Did I hear this sentence from somewhere before? Every now and then, I would get bits and pieces of such snapshots that flew pass my mind, but I couldn't make up anything from that and my head would ache whenever these glimpses appear or when I tried to force myself to think
