“I’m not letting you go this time,” Kim Hyun Joong says as he holds me in an embrace, “I can’t allow it.”
I begin to cry on his shoulder.

…

“Let’s be together, please. No more hiding,” he pleads.

I break down. “Oppa, mian-hae….mian-hae oppa…”  He holds me tighter. “Oppa…it hurt me so much…so much leaving you…but what hurt me more is the thought of you hurting because of me…”

He begins sobbing as well. “Then let’s just stop this.  The hurt…let’s stop it.”

I release myself from his embrace.  He stares at me anticipating my answer.  I can see the fear in his eyes.  I wipe my tears and nod.

…

He takes a moment to comprehend my answer to his question.  “Is this real?” he asks.

…

I nod once more.

…

He releases the breath he was holding and gives me the biggest smile.  He holds me once more.  “I will make sure you never regret it,” he says, “saranghae, Ah Mor Ri, saranghae.”

Unable to speak normally, I whisper, “saranghae, oppa.”

He then moves back and we look at each other for a moment. Not speaking a single word.  He then moves in.  He kisses me. I kiss him back.  We enjoy this passionate moment. Together.
