We walk back home in silence and I start to sulk.

She shouldn't care about what others think of us too much.

We love each other and we're happy.

Shouldn't that be everything that matters?

But as soon as Soojung closes the door to her room behind her she tackles me down to her bed.

She is lying on top of me and hugging me tightly.

After pecking my lips once she starts speaking.

"I'm sorry for behaving this way today.

I know that I hurt you and I really hate seeing you sulking especially when I am the reason for that. So don't be sad anymore and smile please." She says while looking at me with eyes full of love.

I know that she's being sincere and to be honest I already forgave her even before she apologized to me.

She makes me feel all kinds of positive feelings and I could never thank her enough for that.

But one thing is still bugging me...

"Soojung. Why do you care so much about other people's opinion?"

She thinks for a few seconds before answering.

"I don't even know myself.

I think I just don't want to be treated as an outcast because I've been through that already and until today I still have nightmares about that time."

"I'm also an outcast.

I don't have anyone besides you but still I don't care about the opinion of others...

because you're by my side."

"...I'm sorry, Nina.

I feel so bad right now.

You love me so much and I know that I love you a lot, too but I can't be like you..."

"It's alright Soojung. Don't be sorry.

It's enough for me if you just know about my existence."

What we have right now is more than I could ever ask for.

"You're too good for me. I don't deserve yo-"

I press my lips firmly against hers to stop her stupid talk.

1, 2, 3, 4 seconds.

This is the longest kiss we've ever shared.

I smile brightly at her while she looks at me with wide eyes.

"So what was that about the offer to sleep with you?

You can't back out now you know!"

She grins back at me and at that moment I knew that I had the old Soojungie back.

"It's only 6pm right now but I can't wait to cuddle you to sleep either."
