The next day when yuri woke up. The thing about what Yanin had said yesterday was the first thing that came up on her mind. She seems can't recover about it

"Aish! why am I keep on thinking about it? there's no way that he will fall for me, right? there's no way. No way, shiro"  yuri said to herself

(Yuri go outside the room and go outside the house)

(She look at the beautiful view up above)

"What are you doing?" nichkhun interrupted and also look above

"Oh, your awake now?" yuri asked

"Well, I always wake up early. And so I was shocked when I saw you here outside. Because at this hour, you are still suppost to be on your dreamland"

"Do I woke up that late?"

"Wae? you didn't notice?"

"Aish! yah! I don't have time for jokes this early in the morning. It makes me sleep again if your going to keep on teasing me like that"

"But I'm not teasing, I'm just telling the truth. Truth to be told"

"Yah! this will be your last time. And then your dead" yuri angrily said

"Arasso, mianhae" nichkhun said and smiled

"But honestly, no joking no teasing. Why did you wake up so early? is there something wrong and you can't sleep because of thinking about it?" nichkhun said

"Umm... deh..." yuri replied

"And--- can I ask the thing that you worrying about?"

"Honestly, it's because of you"

"Naega? wae?"

"I'm just so very very curious. And I really have to ask you this for me to find the answer"

"Bwoh?"

"Umm... nichkhun ssi... do you... like me?" 

Yuri awkwardly said and nichkhun was able to look at her seriously and he was a bit shocked of why yuri suddenly ask it. And it turn a silence for a while and then nichkhun starts speaking

"Do you really want me to answer right now?" nichkhun asked

"Well, it's up to you. But if you can give me an answer right now. That would be good for me not to wait anymore"

"Arasso... Well, honestly again--- Naega jowahaeyo"

"Neh?" yuri was so shocked that she look at nichkhun immediately

"Neh?" yuri repeat

"You heard me, right?" nichkhun said

"Ani, I want to clear it. So, can you say it again? jebal hanbeonman"

"I said "I Like You" so, is that clear now?"

"Jin---ja? but--- wae? and how?"

"Why? how? what is that question?"

"Oh, aniyo. What I mean is, what do you see in me that you like me? and why?"

"Well, I don't know where it started. But I think when I first saw you, I immediately fall in love with you. But at that time, I was still confuse of what I'm truly feeling for you. So, after the first we met. I've made a dare to myself that if we will meet again, it means that I like you. But if we will not meet, then what I'm feeling for you was nothing"

"And we meet again"

"And that's the time that I was able confirmed it"

"But when I asked you why are you doing all this to me. Why you didn't tell me the truth?"

"Well, when I said that I will be the one who will care for you, will love you, and treat you kindly. That was all true, I just didn't say the thing that I like you"

"Wae?"

"Because I think it's still not the time for me to confess. Because I understand your stage right now. I know it's still hard for you, and even if we're here, your still having a hard time and it's suffering you and giving you much pain inside. And we're sorry that we can't do anything to erase that immediately"

"Aniyo, don't say sorry because at the first place. It's not your business to care for me, love me, and treat me kindly. So, I should be the one to thank you because the both of you are here for me. And I hope that you are not one of them. That's the only thing I hope in the future"

"Aniyo..."

"Yakso?"

"Kurae, yaksokhalge..."

"Gomaptta" yuri said and smiled and nichkhun replied with a smile also

"Well, I will be the one asking you now" nichkhun said

"Bwoh?" yuri asked

"Umm... do I have a chance?"

"Neh?"

"I just don't want to expect high and low. And I'm also curious, that's why I will ask you"

"Do I really have to answer that right now?"

"Well, it's up to you. But if you can give me an answer right now. That would be good for me not to wait anymore"

"Your just saying what I'm saying a while ago"

"Well, your also saying what I'm saying a while ago. But can you give me an answer now?"

(It turn a silence for a while)

(Yuri take a deep breath)

"Mianata, but things are still complicated for me right now. And you know what I've been through with love. So, my heart is still not open with it" yuri said

"Oh, I understand. But if your ready, I hope I can get a chance" nichkhun said and smile

"Thank you"

"Oh, no need to say thank you. Because at the first place, I make things rush to you. And so, I understand you. So, I'll be going inside first. Think it deeply and carefully."

(nichkhun leaves)

Yuri's POV:

"As I look at it, I know that all the words he said was sincere. But what can I do? I'm scared--- I'm scared to get hurt or nobody knows. Maybe someday, he will leave me. And if that will happen, I don't know what to do anymore. It feels like I was curse that no one will never love me, and be there by my side forever and always be. I just hope that whatever decision that I will make, I hope it's the right thing to do. I really hope so"

~End of POV~

(Yuri take a deep breath and look above)

The next day at the cemetery...

"I can't believe, am I really dead?" yuri said as she look at the at name that was written

"Well, that's all they think it is, but your not. But as I look at it, you just made your decision. So, I think you should take the responsibility. Think like your also dead now. Be a new person that no one else knows for now. But I know that sooner or later if they will see you. They may think that you are the dead Kwon Yuri. But let them think of it as it is and just be look familiar to their faces." nichkhun said

"But how can I? I don't even know if I can face them"

"I believe in you, and I know you can. But for now, it's still not the right time to do that. Because the first thing we should do for now is to find a way to heal that wound inside."

(Yuri look at nichkhun)

"Thank you" she whispered

"No, thank you that I've found you" nichkhun said

(They look at each other's eyes for how many seconds. And then they smiled at each other and leave)

While Nichkhun and Yuri are walking to get inside the car now. They both don't notice that minho was approaching, but also minho didn't notice that it's yuri because while he was walking, he look down his head while holding a bouquet of flowers. And when the time that yuri already get inside the car and nichkhun starts the engine. That's the time that minho lift his head up. So, they were both clueless that they met each other, but their eyes never collide.
