xv. Love song

Binna was baffled, feeling uncertain about the course of action to take. The situation left her visibly confused. She found herself questioning whether he had deliberately orchestrated this encounter to address unresolved issues between them.

Yi-chan stood up with determination, moving to stand in front of Binna with deliberate and serious intention, causing Binna to anxiously grip the edges of her garment.

"I'm sorry. I asked Eun-gyeol because I thought you wouldn't come if I asked you"Yi-chan explained with a hint of regret in his expression, causing Binna to nod in agreement and feel a sense of relief, her mind settling upon the assurance that there was no cause for concern

Binna watched intently as Yi-chan picked up a notebook from the table, his eyes then meeting Binna's with an air of mystery, leaving her uncertain of his intentions regarding the notebook.

"You wanted to be friends with me first" Yi-chan presented the first page of the notebook where those words in black ink were written. He then turned the page of the notebook and continued "You said you liked me first, too. You can't make my heart flutter and just ditch me" Binna was unsure of how to react, her heart suddenly began to beat so rapidly that she couldn't help but smile with joy, her pale cheeks taking on a rosy hue

Could this be a reality unfolding before her, rather than merely a figment of her imagination? Was Yi-chan sincerely expressing his feelings at this moment? Did he harbor emotions for her that transcended mere friendship? Numerous questions raced through her mind, but she had to suppress them all.

"How could you not come to the festival? How could you not join the camping trip? How could you be so mean? I was going to sing for you at the festival. But you didn't come to the festival... and if you can't come to the camping trip. I'll have to do it here"

Yi-chan carefully returned the notebook to the table while Binna absorbed the unfolding events. She experienced genuine regret for mistreating him in an attempt to shield herself from pain, only to inadvertently cause him harm; her indifference to his suffering weighed heavily on her conscience. She grappled with the depths of her cruelty and felt overwhelming shame, unsure of how to face the consequences of her regrettable actions.

"Watch carefully. This is a performance just for you" Yi-chan exclaimed in sign language before proceeding to step onto the small stage in the practice room

Would you believe me?

In my dreams

You're an enchanted princess

I always try to reach you

And face all sorts of hardship

But I'm always determined

To save you again

I put my hands together and prayed

So I get endless courage and wisdom

If I pass the magic castle and swamp, I see you far away in the dark cave

Try holding my hand now

I can feel our bodies floating

Don't be surprised when we fly freely in the sky

The world that will unfold in front of us..

Despite her tears, Binna managed to smile with a cheerful expression, her face lit up with a grin as tears cascaded down her cheeks like shimmering diamonds. Even without being able to hear his melodious voice, the lyrics of the song effectively communicated all the emotions Yi-chan had poured into it, assuring Binna of his genuine love and concern for her rather than for Se-kyung.

Despite her automatic furrowing brow when Yi-chan halted the song midway, making repeated attempts at hand signs to resume the song but ultimately forgetting them.

"Hold on" As he stepped down from the stage, Yi-chan anxiously voiced his thoughts. Hastily reaching for the sign language book on the table, he skimmed through it briefly. Before he could continue with the song, he was taken aback by Binna's unexpected embrace, leaving him surprised and momentarily speechless. Despite being caught off guard, he responded in kind with a gracious reciprocation of the warm embrace.

Yi-chan's quivering hands encased the petite form of Binna, who clung to his waist, applying pressure to her embrace as Yi-chan tried to disengage. In response, Yi-chan offered her soothing strokes on the back to console her. Both experiencing a surge of emotions, neither willing to release the affectionate and sentimental embrace.

A particular young man stood at the entrance, his countenance adorned with a broad smile and his eyes reflecting affection, admiration, and a sense of wistful sentiment.

"Start the music!" Yi-chan exclaimed with excitement, a wide smile etched on his face "Here comes the designer!" Yi-chan displayed a broad smile brimming with enthusiasm as he pointed towards Binna, who was walking by his side with a smile of amusement, albeit slightly suppressed by the manner in which he was introducing her

Binna displayed a furrowed brow upon sighting Hyun-yul and Si-guk seated on the ground, visibly surprised by their presence, prompting her to purse her lips in confusion. It was evident to her that Se-kyung and Eun-gyeol were holding hands and beaming with smiles, a sight that filled her with immense pride towards the two of them.

Binna's attention shifted back to the guys, who were now standing before her with broad grins, causing her to experience a feeling of discomfort.

"Hi, friend" they exclaimed in sign language, causing Binna to be both amazed and touched "How are you?"

"Hi, guys" Binna smiled, making the same gestures with her hands before looking down at the ground with shyness

"She understood" They acknowledged to each other with joy, as though they had fulfilled their duty

Yi-chan exuded happiness as he smiled warmly and reached out his hand to lead Binna into the train station. Binna gazed up hesitantly, tenderly placing her fragile hand on his, a surge of emotions engulfing them instantly. Holding hands, they made their way into the train station, their faces adorned with elegant smiles.

Binna was seen with a joyful smile on her face as she found herself embraced by Yi-chan's companions, who entertained her with light-hearted and humorous jests that elicited genuine laughter. This marked the first time she truly felt a sense of belonging, experiencing a warm reception among all of them.

Binna found amusement in Yi-Chan's jealousy as his friends suddenly began paying more attention to his girlfriend, whom they had previously ignored. He wondered what had caused the sudden change, leading to his feelings of jealousy as he observed the admiring looks directed at Binna. Yi-Chan acknowledged Binna's captivating beauty and couldn't comprehend how someone like him had caught her interest.

Although they came from disparate backgrounds, they succeeded in overcoming the barriers that divided them in order to unite. This mutual connection was their fated bond.
