TALE OF LOVE || YOON JEONGHAN

◉⁠‿⁠◉ CHAPTER 17 ◉⁠‿⁠◉

SEVENTEEN RIGHT HERE❤️

Jeonghan sat under a tree watching Yn play with leaves or running from here and there. After what seems like ages, she came and sat next to Jeonghan being exhausted.

She was panting hard as Jeonghan just chuckled at her. "It was so good" she said as he just stared at her
She then noticed some newly scars in his hands.

She gently took his hands and examined it and gasped. Jeonghan was watching her calmly with a small smile.

"How did you get this cuts Hannie" she asked as she gazed at him "Oh that, yesterday i was helping father loading some heavy fruit containers. The sharp edges have caused the cuts" he said and watched her face getting more and more concerned

She gently took his palm and gave a soft peck on it. She did the same with few other cuts in his hands. Jeonghan watched the scene with surprised expression and his heart melted by her warm gesture.
"There I kissed your pain away" she said with slight blush as he chuckled and ruffled her hairs

"Thanks Bella. The pain is nowhere now" he said and they both laughed
He simply layed down and kept his head on her laps
She then forwarded her hands and started stroking his hair

He felt a feel of euphoria when she started stroking his hair and his mind relaxed
He closed his eyes and enjoyed her touch on his hairs

"Your soo far Bella" he said with his closed eyes and she frowned. She moved a little more closer to him as his head was touching her stomach and her folded legs were touching the side of his arm. Jeonghan chuckled at her antics and opened his eyes

"I didn't say physical distance Bella" he said "Then what do you mean?" She asked as he slowly held her hands and gave a tender peck on her knuckles and then interwined their hands.

"Your too far for my reach. Your lifestyle is so different from mine. I shouldn't be- i think- argh" he started becoming frustrated by his own self failing to find correct words
In a swift motion he stood up as she also stood up after him

"Push me off Bella. It's now or never. I don't want to interfere in your life, it will be painful to you" he said and panic rushed into her
Being away from him was impossible
Now she knows she had already fallen for him

Jeonghan knows the consequences of falling in love with her. Even though Seungcheol was his best friend, his sister was far for his reach. His dad would never want a average family man for his daughter.

He fears the day where she would be separated by him. His love for her was not weak, but he didn't have power to be with her. Even though their love would win, the cruel world would end up crumbling them.

She knew by his tone that he was afraid for their future. She knows she had fallen for him to the depts that she was ready to sacrifice her self for him. She knows Jeonghan's love was pure for her. Even though they didn't confess they could see love for each other in their eyes.

She suddenly hugged him making him froze and she mumbled in a low tone "Don't d-do that Hannie. I- i c-couldn't" she started choking on her own words as Jeonghan hugged her tightly, rubbing her back in gentle manner and whispering her soft words

"Let's fight Hannie. Let's s-show the world" she said as he broke the hug and cupped her face and place a soft peck on her forehead

"I love you Bella" he confessed making her heart beat rise and she felt bliss "I love you Hannie" she replied in a soft voice and Jeonghan hugged her again.

"What's going on here?" They heard a stern voice and turned to face them. They saw Seungcheol with a angry face and Joshua was standing behind him with a worried face

"Oppa" Yn softly mumbled as Seungcheol pulled her out of his friends embrace
"What the hell Jeonghan, how can you love my sister" he yelled but Jeonghan stood there with a neutral expression

"I love her Coups. I truly do" he confessed sincerely as Joshua's face brighten and he smiled brightly
It was a sudden silence as nobody dared to speak

Suddenly Seungcheol raised his fist and Jeonghan predicted to get punched by him but it never came.
Seungcheol suddenly hugged him making him shock including Yn while Joshua had wide smile

"You moron, did you think i didn't know that you love my sister? I used to see how you used to gaze at her and she back at you" he said and broke the hug. Jeonghan saw a bright smile on his face

"Your not against it?" He asked with a hint of doubt "Your my best friend and I trust you. And don't worry me and Joshua will do everything to get you guys together" he said melting Jeonghan's heart and he hugged him

Then Jeonghan opened his another arms and indicated Joshua and Yn to join
Soon they all group hugged each other enjoying the moment of their life
