“Oppa…” Stubbornness struck again.

“Let me finish.” He cut her off.  

“Okay.” She answered. She took a deep breath and exhale slowly as she prepared herself for whatever he may say.

“I admitted that I was so mad at you for not trying to open your heart for me. I keep asking why it is so hard for you to accept me. Am I that bad to be the man for you? Or you have someone else? I can’t think straight. I was so damn mad at you.” He slowly walked towards her. “After the fight we had weeks ago, I don’t know what I should do. I want to fix us, but I feel tired of chasing the uncertainty of us. I’m not sure how much longer I can go on with this one sided love. But as I thought my life would be easier without you, it turns out that my life is actually empty without you. The idea of trying to avoid you makes me even crazier.

Let’s fix this, let’s fix us.”

She looked at him with thousands of thoughts and doubts lingered in her head. She was completely sure about the feeling he had for her and she knew how she felt for him too, but will another chance really fix them? How far the relationship will go? Would it be easy for them to juggle between their personal and professional life?
