Chapter Text
“Fearless, that’s how you make me feel, Jinu. I just don’t…” I pause, because I don’t want to ruin this moment.
My gaze drifts downwards with solemn doubt. “But I don’t know if I should trust these feelings. Can I really trust you?” My voice is faint as a whisper, unable to hide my fear.
“I-I’m not sure. I don’t think I trust myself. But you can trust in my need to be free. And I trust you, I believe in you.” He says, hesitation fading from his words like darkness at sunrise.
My heart aches. The lies and secrets weigh on me, the pressure almost unbearable. But I’m so close. I see a way for me to take down these walls, and let the golden warmth of hope touch my heart once again. I can finally cure the despair that has been infecting me, and to cure these patterns that infect me.
I turn to look at his profile illuminated by the city glow. The lights of Seoul dance in his eyes, like watching stars twinkle.
He turns to me, pulling my hands into his. “We will face this together. We will create our own destinies together. Our futures are still undefined.”
