Cyrus: You. I want you from you. (Still looking at the moon)

[She looked at him as she was surprised.]

Cyrus: I know you've also something in your mind for me. Isn't it?

Elisa: How did you know? (Little scared)

Cyrus: Don't you remember that in that library you rushed to me to get back your diary?

Elisa: Umm..... Yeah... So what?

Cyrus: I've already read every pages before your arrival.

Elisa: Hahhhhhhhh!! (Closed her eyes in shyness)

Cyrus: Afterwards, will you still say that you don't love me?

Elisa: No. I mean. It's not like that. But why did read my diary? (Little angry)

Cyrus: Oh.. Come on.. Elisa.. Don't start arguing with that. Okay... Then why did suffered just for me, just for a Professor. Tell me. Anything would be happened to you in that mystical jungle but still you went. Right?

Elisa: Don't you know everyone hates me? Even my mom..... (Downed her head)

Cyrus: Just shut up. Whatever everyone thinks about you I don't care. I like the way you are. I like as you annoy me, disturb me. I like your childish innocence. I like you for your faults.

["And for a discerning man, somewhat too passionate a lover; for I like her with all her faults; nay, like her for her faults."
-- 'The Way of The World', William Congreve]

[She became silent at his words. In this world, at least there is one who truly loved her.]

Cyrus: Say something Elisa. Don't you like me? I know I hurt you (looking at her wrist), but it happened unintentionally.

[She smiled but her eyes were moist.]

Elisa: It was not your fault, Cyrus. And who said that I don't like you? I like you from the 1st day of college and loved you since I sneaked into your room.

[Without replying to anything, Cyrus put out a blue box from one of his pockets. Then he opened the box. She saw there were 2 rings. Both the rings glistened by the cold light of the moon.]

[The first one was crafted from polished silver, this Ring featured a sleek, minimalist design with a single inset onyx stone, exuding sophistication and modernity. And the other is delicately adorned with intricate filigree work, this silver Ring showcases a brilliant round-cut diamond at its center, radiating elegance and femininity.]

[As he took out Elisa's Ring. She saw that there was an inscription, 'ELISA♥C'.]

[He took her left hand and without any hesitation he slid the Ring through her ring finger.]

Cyrus: It's your turn, Miss.

[She did the same thing. While she took out his Ring, she noticed the inscription. 'CYRUS♥E'.]

[After the Ring exchange, suddenly Cyrus kneeled down before her and unexpectedly kissed her leg where she had a deep wound while she was crossing the Thorny Vines. Then he stood up and again kissed her forehead holding both of her necks.]

[As she felt the warmth of his lips, she unconsciously closed her eyes.]
