"CAN I tell you something?" Yeona said in an awkward tone and stopped at her tracks as she looked at Jaemin in direct eye contact and her face with a nervous smile.
The guy just stood there in confusion wondering why she stopped all of a sudden. But he was nice enough to hear her out so he then asked what was going on with her.
"Sure. What is it?"
Yeona then held a deep sigh before she tried to say what she was going to tell him. But the moment she opened her mouth, there were no words that came out. No matter how much she tried, it was futile. It was like something was holding her back from saying what she wanted to say.
Jaemin, on the other hand, continued standing there confused. Not only was his face showing confusion and concern, his entire body was telling him that he had to go and then he said,
"It's okay if you don't want to say it now. I'll wait when the time comes but for now, let's go. Your family is probably waiting for you."
And then, he started walking again. But before he could even go further, Yeona was finally able to say what she wanted to say to him and said it out loud.
"I love you!"
This caused the man to freeze at his place and then turned to Yeona again with a shocked look. He didn't expect her to say that all of a sudden and it was like he couldn't utter a word. He was entirely in shock. He didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do. He stood there like a statue.
"I love you, Na Jaemin! I love you more than anything in this world! You make me feel things, you make me feel something I don't normally feel. You make me feel love. I want to hug you and kiss you and shower you with so much love. I love you to the point that I want to fall into your arms and place my head on your shoulder as we dance together on a full moon. I love you very, very, very much!" Yeona said as loudly as she could.
She didn't care if the people nearby could hear her, as long as her voice was loud enough for Jaemin to hear which wasn't normal for someone like her, considering it was a rare occurrence for her to even raise her voice when she isn't angry.
Once again, after hearing Yeona's full confession. Yes, the whole confession, Jaemin continued standing there like a ghost. He was speechless, he didn't know how to answer to that. Even if he felt the same way, he was still in shock.
But to Yeona, she thought his mind was in another place so she immediately got embarrassed and then said, "I'm sorry about that. That was embarrassing. Well, let's go," she said as she started walking ahead but then she felt him grab her hand.
"I love you too," he replied as he looked down on her while he carressed her cheekbones.
In Yeona's mind, she thinks that caressing the cheekbones meant wanting to kiss that person so she decided to make the first move and quickly grabbed his collar as she pulled him for a kiss.
Of course, this wasn't expected for Jaemin but he decided to give in because in his twenty-two years of living, he finally found the person he could spend the rest of his life with.
It was his first kiss but it would be his most memorable. The kiss lasted for a few minutes but those minutes were the most satisfying to him and after a while, the two finally broke off from it. It was awkward for a few seconds but then, Yeona broke the silence as she started asking a weird question.
"So, are we official now?"
"I mean, you didn't ask if you wanted me to be your boyfriend so, I don't know."
"Well, do *you* want to be my boyfriend?"
"Hmm~"
Of course, that question hit Jaemin considering he was still surprised by the confession but he knew, deep in his heart, Yeona was his soulmate. Someone he wanted to be with forever until the day he dies so he decided to accept her sudden request because he knew he wouldn't regret it. I mean, it's Yeona after all, the first and last woman he would be with.
"Of course. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
"Ok, ok. That was sudden but are we keeping this private or public? You know, so that I won't ruin your job."
"Up to you. Whatever your decision is, it's mine too, honey."
"Honey? Did you just make that up? That's such a crazy name," Yeona said chuckling at the nickname Jaemin gave her.
"We're dating, right? I do need a nickname for you. Anyways, you haven't answered my question."
"Oh, right! Well, I'm thinking of keeping it private. I don't like it when I only get an excessive amount of attention because I'm your girlfriend now. Besides, I'm pretty sure your career would go downhill the moment our relationship goes public and I don't want to be the cause of it."
Yeona did have some valid points and Jaemin knew she was totally right about the stuff she said so he just agreed with her, besides, he did also have some thoughts of making their new relationship private before he even asked her about it.
"Ok, if that's what you want, we're keeping it private, I also had some thoughts of keeping our relationship a secret. Oh, look at the time. I guess this guy here would have to bring his lovely lady over to her apartment before her parents would beat the absolute shit out of me."
"Please, babe. Don't even joke about those."
"Babe? I like that nickname. Say it again, please. The way you said was so relaxing."
The girl then replied with a giggle while the two started walking on the way to Yeona's apartment as the guy continued pleading on wanting to hear her say the nickname again.
And just like that, a new relationship was born.
