“I DON'T NEED PROMISES” (Preferably for adults only. A bit of *Smut* is present. This is only for Seon Yul x Soo Hyun shippers)

“Till death do us part” - the lovebirds said. Soo Hyun is happy her ex husband found another love and hopefully, another family of his own. Congratulations, she said to the newly weds. It is a sunny day for a wedding. It took courage for her to attend but it took extra courage for them to attend together, Seon Yul and her. After that lovers spat, where it took both of them in an unspoken truth of fragile feelings, they promised to stay together and avoid secrets, if possible. They both understand the need to protect each other but the year is almost ending, and somehow their little secret, is taking its toll to people around them. They realized it cannot be this way for long. People can see, people talk. In this wedding, people actually did talk..a lot. One guest started it all. “My dear Soo Hyun, how wonderful for you to attend your ex husband’s wedding”, an old lady heavy on make up, probably a friend of the bride as Soo hyun never saw her ever before. All the more weird for her to reply but she did after-all. She smiled and said “yes, thanks”.

It was a tension filled sunny and windy afternoon and Seon Yul is the most uncomfortable of them all. He looks handsome in a tie and suit, perfect for his skin tone and brown eyes. Soo Hyun was breathless when he fetch her to go to the venue. Seon Yul didn’t talk much as he can see the piercing eyes upon him. It didn’t help that most of the guests are from the news channel’s company where in even that the last 6 years of news has been buried, some remembers. They can hear whispers “isn’t that boy the son of the one she murdered? Are they mad?. Every time they hear those words, their intertwined hands grows tighter and they grow closer as if they needed to protect each other from everything and anyone. They are united. Soo Hyun knows she is still a public figure but she is also a private one as she assumed and prefers to be left alone.

Driving her home, Seon Yul was still pretty much silent. He knows going into this relationship, this is bound to happen. His friend warned him “the world is not kind for your love story” he remembers hearing those words. Not only the nightmares are almost haunting him every night now, he hasn’t also told Soo hyun yet. He is avoiding the topic. He doesn’t want to burden her. Soo Hyun said “Im sorry” upon arriving at her home. He caressed softly her face and he in return, put a lock of her hair beyond her ear and replied “I am fine, don’t worry”. They kissed softly and bid each other goodnight and goodbye. 

“You traitor, how can you this to us? How can you love that murderer? She broke our family. She also killed me. What kind of a son are you?” His mom is strangling him in his dream. He woke up, panting and sweating. He can barely sleep 3 hours these days. Last time he dreamt of his uncle and now his mother. There must be a reason why he is having these nightmares after all these years. He wanted to call Soo hyun but its 3am and again, he doesn’t want to burden her with this.  He didn’t sleep after that and waited for the sun to rise and called some friends of his in his past life. He called a detective in charge of the case of his uncle Kim Joon. He wanted to know how is he and last time he heard , not sure that he was applying for a parole. What the detective told him send chills down his spine. “Son, don’t be surprised but in the coming days, his plea for a parole will be heard in court and he might do an interview if he is awarded that parole. They said for good behavior and national security purposes, the President wants to pardon him”. 

Seon Yul dropped his phone in shock. He thought deep. He needs to do something. He walks back and forth in his home , drinks water and walk again, thinking his next moves. It is over, he said but why does he feel unsafe and something is bound to happen again. His mind went straight to Soo Hyun, thinking about her safety. He texted her he has an emergency in the hospital and he has to work early and that he will call her later. He lied. He wanted to visit his uncle in prison. He wants to talk to him. He wants to see him now. 

“I want to see my uncle, Kim Joon” he said to the jail guard. The guard said he will ask first if he is expecting a visitor and when he came back, he opened the door for his entry. In a room, they can only talk behind a wall for his uncle is put in an intensive unit for high crimes unit. He sat down and waited for him. Handcuffed, and smiling he walked towards the glass separating him from Seon Yul and got the phone and said “Hello, Son”. He answered back “I am not your son”. Kim Joon fell from grace after that fateful night when his crimes were exposed 6 years ago. He has small grey hairs now but it seems his face lacks remorse as Seon Yul feels.

“My dear nephew, how are you? I heard you are seeing that woman, for real this time. I didn’t know you liked older women. Crazy. Is it because I took your Mom early?   His blood boiled upon hearing about his mother. He killed her and now he is granted a hearing for leniency? He wanted to punch him and the glass separating him. “What are you up to? , he asked. “ I just wanted to be free. I think I deserved to be free. I have been good and the secrets I hold, I don’t think the government can take it me spilling more”. He seems confident, this arrogant bastard he thought to himself. “Are you afraid I’d come back for your woman, your lover?”. “If you lay a hand on her, I swear will kill you myself!”, he stood up and punch the glass in front of him. The jail guard warned him and said he only has a minute left. “Be careful nephew. She be careful too….and his family”. Then he smirked at Seon Yul and went back to his cell. Seon Yul stood there for awhile to compose himself. This is not happening, again.

Soo Hyun has been staring at her phone all day. She never got a reply from Seon Yul after she said “Ok, I love you and I will see you later”. She was worried when she saw his texts saying “I have an emergency this early morning at the hospital and I’ll be out late. I’ll call you later”. He seems to forget we had a plan to have dinner but of course, she understands works comes first. She just can’t help but be worried afterall this past few weeks he seems agitated and secretive since that fight they had. She was waiting for him to open up and tell her about his nightmares but its been weeks and there was no stories he shared. She feared something is wrong, she knows something is up and he doesn’t want her to know.

It is now 6pm, she is at the orphanage and its been almost 8 hours he hasn’t; contacted her and continued to reject her calls. She is beyond worried. She decided to call his friend, Shi Joon. She asked him if Seon Yul is there. She Joon was surprised “Seon Yul? He filed for leave. He is on leave today until tomorrow I believe, Seon Hyun. I thought he is with you”. She replied, “He is not”. Is everything ok, he asked back? Soo Hyun was confused and behind the call, Shi Joon feels her fear and said “I’ll reach for him, I will update you if J have news”. Thank you is all she can say. Now, she is more than worried, he is terrified where the hell is her boyfriend! “Where are you?” She texted a 5th time. It is now 8 o’clock in the evening. Turning on the TV, and on the news, she dropped the remote control. Her jaw opened and Kim Joon is in the news. He is applying for parole.

This can’t be, she thought. Now she knows why he is acting strange lately, Does he know about this? He is too good to let this be all but a coincidence. The horror is setting in. Kim Joon might go free? Suddenly her fear is tangible. She looked at the kids in her orphanage. She thought of her family, especially her mom. Will he come back for me? to destroy us? She can’t think clearly. She wants to see Seon Yul, that’s all that matters. He is all that matters now. She grabbed her keys and went to his house.  “Seon Yul?”. Seon yul, are you here? She checked his rooms. No plain in sight, He is not here. Was he kidnapped? Is he hurt? Soo Hyun nearly fainted and took a seat. She drank water and told herself to calm down. 

She fell asleep waiting for him and she heard a text. “I am sorry. You must be worried. I am fine. Do not worry”. It is from Seon Yul. This jerk, she said cursing him out loud. She texted back “Where are you?”.  I need time for myself. I want to be alone, Soo Hyun. Please let me be for now. Please, do not be mad, I beg of you”, he replied. Soo Hyun starts to cry and she can’t give up. He must be hurting, she knows him too well. “Tell me where you are right now. Or I swear….you won’t see me again”.  He replied “Maybe it is better that way”. Her heart sighed and tears poured more. She doesn’t want to give up on them. “Ill drive in the middle of the night and will never stop looking for you. Tell me where you are right now, Seon Yul. If you want to protect me, talk to me. I’ll call on my ex husband and we will come looking for you, together”. That should do the trick, she said and it did. Seon Yul smiled a little. She knows how to trigger him just fine. His jealousy is his weakness, she knows. He is just a boy , a forever green boy in love with her. “I am here at the garage where we used to meet and eat”. Without a delay more, she grabbed her keys and drive down there. Soo Hyun didn’t even know it still existed. One detail Seon Yul didn’t share in their relationship, she discovered. She will ask later but for now, his safety is her priority. He is alone and she doesn’t want to make him feel that way, ever again. 

She saw him the same years ago, in a bonfire he created, looking at the stars. Same as that time, too..he had wounds in his knuckles. He must have punched at someone or something. She brought him some food, his favorites. “Hey” she said, coming forward but not too close. He seem distant. He smells wine. She doesn’t want to force her boundaries. He seems preoccupied in his thoughts. She decided to sit beside him. No touching. Just siting near each other and wishing he will talk. “I saw him today. Kim Joon. Sorry, I lied where I was. If you saw the news, it is true. The government might cut a deal for him and may grant him leniency. It sucks. The system is broken.” 

She replied “ We will fight again. We did it once and we will do it again. It is just a possibility. It hasn’t been decided and granted yet”. She wants to touch him but he is too far gone in his eyes and doesn’t even look at her. “Is this my karma? My punishment of taking revenge on you? On being blinded by hate and for a while, accomplice to his evil acts? Or this… now finally he looks at her, “is this…us, frowned upon by the Gods so bad they don’t want us to be together and just be happy?  Is this a curse?  She stood up and went towards him and kneeled before him, capping his face touching him softly, he closed his eyes “Don’t regret us. This is not punishment for us nor for you. He is just a bad, evil man. He took her hand and kissed his knuckles even with the stain of blood and he stood up. He walked away from her and his back against her he said “Maybe, this is it for us. Let us end this. I don’t deserve you. I will only ruin you. Please stay away from me, Soo Hyun.

“Are you breaking up with me? She asked. Why are you doing this? I love you! Don’t push me away. He walked towards the home storage car he has. She grabbed his hand. “Don’t walk away from me, Seon Yul”. 

He raised his voice “Love is not enough! Don’t you see what’s happening, Soo Hyun? He is gonna get that deal and he is going after us, after you!  This is all my fault. I dragged you into this. I went back into your life, forced myself again into your life and for what? For this? Your life and your family’s life is in danger if he walks free. What then? I can’t run away from this. I am cursed. I don’t deserve you or any joy this world can give. So, just listen and let’s stop this. You deserve a peaceful life. Walk away now. Walk away from me, please. Just listen to me this one time”.

His voice is starting to crack. He is starting to cry. He went inside and sat in his bed. Soo Hyun wants to smack him or punch him for being an idiot keeping it all to himself. Does he think she is inadequate for him? She thinks he thinks of her too fragile. She can handle it. She wants him to know that. She went inside and again kneeled down to him. She grabbed his wounded hands and kissed them again. “Just go and leave me” he begged. “I don’t want to. I will only leave if you will say you don’t love and want me anymore. Say it and I’ll walk away…for good, forever. 

Seon Yul looked at her.. deep into her eyes. He sighed. He is breathless in front of her like always. “Of course, I love you. I always have and I always do” but…I don’t want to hurt you, Soo Hyun. Not again. Not ever. And this…this can hurt you, us and your family. It is not fair. She clapped back at him “You know what is unfair? You not trusting me to be there for you. Look at me, I am here. I am not going anywhere. Don’t try to belittle me. I can do this. I am strong, you know that. I can protect you, too. “ 

Tears came down his face. Nobody has said those words for a very long time. “Ill protect you”. It has always been him protecting everything from everyone he loves. “Just tell me what you need, Soon Yul, let me in. I promise I’ll give it to you”.  He brought his hand to her cheeks, “I don’t need promises. I can’t promise you anything either but I just want you to stay. Don’t leave me. I don’t want to be alone, again”. I just want you.

For the 1st time Soo Hyun saw Seon Yul’s darkened eyes with deep devotion and if she is right, lust. She knows that look. It has been a long time since anther man gave her that look. She teased him “You are the one wanting me to leave and let me go” . “You can have me. You always have me”. 

“I know”, he answered. She stood up and when he wanted to stand up, she stopped him. “ Don't. Just sit like that. Don’t move". Confused Seon Yul got stiff and frozen, what is she doing? His mind is topsy turvy. It is only now he realized, Soo Hyun is wearing a skirt. She adjusted something under her skirt, his mind went blank. Soo Hyun now is on his lap. There is always a first time. His legs is about to break. Yet, something is hardening below and Soo Hyun knows it. She kissed Seon Yul and this time, deep and hungrily. She is taking charge. She is taking control. In his ear, she whispered “ So, you still want to let me go and leave?”. He let a small groan and replied “No, I lied. I don’t want you to go. Not ever.”.

Both breathing heavily now. She is feeling intoxicated and wild. She hates him now but she can’t help it, she is in love with him, too it hurts. They are both hurting. But their bodies need this now. The hear is definitely on. This is somehow his punishment. She bit his ear and said “Don’t say those words again. Don’t do this again. It’s not him who will kill me, its you if something happens to you”. Those words made him moan. His first. He knows what she wants now. Its been the thing he wants the most, too. Them, to be as one. Opening his jeans and both eyes locked at each other, full of love, longing and lust now, he grabbed her waist and ran his fingers in her back like his life depends on it, she saw his length and he is ready to take her. She now is ready to be taken. Slowly, she went down and just like that, up and down, she rode him like it’s the last ride of their lives. She looks sexy, hot, beautiful and breathtaking he whispered to her. Gods be damned. The world be damned. This is their world and it is now crushing in. They made love for the 1st time. In an unconventional place and time. But then again, nothing is conventional with their love why start now? Panting and sweating together, they broke from their kisses, Soo Hyun said “Let’s face it all, together. And with another kiss and thrust, he replied, yes, together”.  🔥

Chapter 8

Falling 

“I am sorry Soo Hyun, I went too far. I know you are still sick. Forgive me.” Please rest. Seon Yul lips whispered to her ears and touched her cheeks gently while stepping back from her slowly. He then walked away. 

Soo Hyun stood there for a minute or two like she is at a crossroads. Time is standing still. What the hell just happened? In her mind she is saying these words. She was shaking. Is this all but a dream? Is this even real? Her thoughts betray her. This is real whether she admits it or not. Whether she likes it or not. 

Perhaps Seon Yul went too far to finally confess his real feelings for her. He is impatient and never was able to wait even when he was young. He can’t wait for his gifts to be opened on his birthday. He can’t wait for his parents to come home. He wasn’t able to wait for his revenge. He went too far and perhaps he thought, this is payback. He can never have what he truly wanted or that maybe it is already a lost cause. She is a lost cause. 

He sighs and he remembers this is his last week on volunteer duty and partly that’s one of the reasons why he rushed things with her. He doesn’t want to go back to his real work without knowing what she felt or knowing what he truly feels and express it. Seon Yul decided it is time to go back to his real world- the hospital. The 3 days he had left were in complete agony as he and Soo Hyun barely talked and rarely had eye contact. She is up and about now. He is relieved she is healthy again but she looks at her differently and is conscious towards him. She is very uncomfortable with him and he doesn’t like it at all. He feels if this is the price of his “feelings” then he would rather stay as a friend or nothing at all. He cannot afford to be a stranger again to Soo Hyun. That is how much he loves her and even he can’t believe how much he has fallen. 

Dear Soo Hyun, 

I am terribly sorry for what happened 3 nights ago. It wasn’t planned but I meant every word. I don’t want to force you on to something you are not ok or ready for but I am not sorry for saying how I truly feel. I don’t know when my feelings towards you changed. All I know is even when I was taking a revenge on you, I never truly wanted to hurt you. I did want to punish you but I also punished myself. I was obsessed with my revenge on you. Yet, you always amaze me with how you respond to each of my painful act towards you. It annoyed me and scared me all the same. Was the hate I felt towards you actually love? I asked myself many times already. When I saved your Mom, when I saved you, when you were in danger, I was willing to die for you. It was a strange feeling. The truth is, I wanted to confess when we went to the tree of “hope and wishes” as you called it but you were ready to bid me goodbye and you were smiling. It hurt a bit that you were saying goodbye and I believed you that its the right thing to do even if I don’t want to part really…from you. I said to you that “yes you killed me when you killed my Father…but you brought me back to life when you showed me you truly cared for me one way or another”. You are my weakness and my strength. I am numb with pain, just like you but what I feel for you is real. I know the Gods must have done this to punish us but I don’t care. However, I care about you. I care about you more than anything and that I would never force you to be or to feel something you don’t want to or have. You are right. I know you will always do the right thing and by choosing not to love me back is the right thing to do. As always, you are right. I want us to be ok. I don’t you looking at me like I am wounded. I am not a victim of your doing or of love. I chose this life. I chose to love you even if it is forbidden in the eyes of many and yours. I am leaving the orphanage not with a heavy heart but with gentle one. I am contented with adoring and loving your from afar and will do it as long as I can. I wish you all the happiness in the world and I truly want you to be happy. Please take good care of yourself. I am ok please don’t worry about me. 

Thank you Soo Hyun and goodbye. 

Always, 

Seon Yul 

Soo Hyun was shaking when she was reading his letter. She was crying at the thought of his real feelings towards her. She never knew he felt this way and never knew it could hurt her like this. She feels he is saying goodbye, for good. 

Seon Yul left so early that Soo Hyun wasn’t able to see him. He meant for it to be that way. He can’t look at her and not touch her again. Her face, her lips and her skin made him feel butterflies and pure magic, the thought of those alone send shiver through his spine. He smiles and nods, and smiles again acting like a school boy in love. Yet Seon Yul knew, the reality is fast approaching and he is going back to where he belongs. Perhaps it is too much to ask of her and of his life. He was given another chance at life. Why would he be greedy to ask for more? 

Weeks has passed and both Soo Hyun and Seon Yul tried their best to move on and do their daily routine like nothing ever happened. Seon Yul got the highest score in their exam and is contemplating where to get his short course degree on Cardiology. His choices are Japan, Germany and India. Yoo Ra chose Germany and Soo Jin chose Japan. Initially, Seon Yul choses India. 

Soo Hyun has a another work now. She is back teaching at a University. She missed teaching college students. She was offered to teach graduate school, too but opted to decline for now to spend more time with her mother and the orphanage. With each passing day, Soo Hyun remembers Seon Yul. Actually she misses him but won’t admit it, ever.  

Soo Hyun spent sleepless nights thinking about Seon Yul. How is he? She thought and then brushes off her concerns. She looked at her Mom and tells herself, she did the right thing. Love is not her priority nor her happiness. She believes when her son died so was her heart and happiness. One sunny morning, Soo Hyun was combing her mother’s hair when she asked Soo Hyun about Seon Yul. “That handsome boy, where is he now? He hasn’t visited me again”. Soo Hyun laughed and answered, “Who, Seon Yul? You got great eyes, Mom but sadly, he won’t come again”. Why is that, she replied. Because I hurt him enough, he deserves better”.  Soo Hyuns Mom might be sick but from time to time, she is well and back to her senses. She uttered these words to he daughter “That boy looked at you like you are his saving grace. That boy was always alone and lonely when eating at our restaurant. The only time I saw him smile was when he told me he was waiting for a friend that didn’t come, and I guess that was you. Don’t be so hard on him”. Soo Hyun was shocked to hear those words and her mothers memory of those years. But like all dementia cases in the world, it doesn’t last long. She then looks for her grandson and cries again believing he just left but never gone. Soo Hyun hugged her tightly and hush her , gave her medicines and waited for her to sleep. 

Soo Hyun tooked the courage the next day to call Seon Yul. His phone rang but nobody answered. Seon Yul, Yoo Ra and Soo jin were out partying, doing KTV and drinking. Its their last weekend together before their short course training abroad. Yoo Ra saw Seon Yul’s phone renging and saw the name “Soo Hyun”. At first she didn’t mind it but by the 3rd call, she answered it. 

Hello? Yoo Ra answered. She is somehow tipsy already.

Umm.. Im sorry, is this Dr. Seon Yul’s phone number? 

Yes, it is. Hi Dr. Soo Hyun, its Yoo Ra. How are you? 

I am fine and you? 

I am fine, too. We are fine actually. Sorry we are out and its kinda rowdy in here…at the bar. 

Are you celebrating? 

Yes because we will go abroad, finally. It always our dream. 

What? 

We are leaving in 2 days. Seon Yul and I will go to Germany. 

I see. I am sorry to intrude tonight. Please enjoy your party. Goodbye. 

Soo Hyun hang up the phone almost immediatelh. Her heart was beating so fast and she was nervous. She was feeling a lot of tension. She was feeling angry and sad. Is she jealous?. He is leaving? With her? Abroad? 

Seon Yul came back to the room and saw Yoo ra putting his phone down. He asked what she did to his phone and she told her “She called”. Seon Yul rushed to his phone and checked it. Then, he put it down again and breathe heavily and deep. “It doesn’t matter” he says. 

What did she say? 

I told her we were leaving. You and I. She hang up the phone immediately. 

Soo Jin intervened and said “You silly girl. You shouldn’t have done that”. 

It is ok. It doesn’t matter anymore anyway. I have moved on. She should, too for the good of everyone. 

Soo Jin went over to Seon Yul and asked him “you are not running way , are you?” You spent so much time chasing her and now you are running away? 

I am not running away. I am moving on…from the past, from her. This is the right thing to do. She would do the same. I am just following what she wanted. 

At the airport, Seon Yul is waiting for Yoo ra , she is late. Seon Yul is close to irritation the she doesn’t answer his calls. It is boarding time already. “Where is she?” Just when he was about to call all her again, she poked at him and said “Im here haha” Seon Yul rarely gets angry but this time he is actually. “What the hell is wrong with you? We are leaving now!”. 

Alright. Don’t freaking be mad now. I had a good reason. 

And what would that be? 

HER. 

Yoo Ra pointed at someone behind Seon Yul’s back. 

HER is SOO HYUN. She is dressed in white coat and inside a lavender turtle neck. She is so beautiful, he thought. 

Listen, I am gonna check in. I am going to Luxemberg instead, Seon Yul. 

Seon Yul is not listening at all. 

Yoo ra smacked his head and said “Hello, I haven’t heard the word Thank you yet, your Highness”. 

What? I…don’t understand. Seon Yul replied. 

I’ll be at luxemberg and you will stay at Birkenfield, still. I am not gonna be the 3rd wheel, ok?. She said that laughing and winking at both Seon Yul and Soo Hyun and walking away to check in her baggages. 

What are you doing here? I don’t understand. How did you know about our flight? 

Yoo ra told me. 

She did? 

Yes. 

She likes you, you know that’s why she did it. She loves you. 

And I already told you my answer about that. Are you here to talk about her? 

“NO”. Soo Hyun stepped forward to him, closer. I am here to talk about US. 

Seon Yul look at his watch and said “I am leaving in a bit, you have to talk a little faster”

Soo Hyun is sighing and catching her breath," YOU left without saying goodbye at the orphanage". 

I wrote you a letter. 

I read it. 

So, therefore, I said goodbye. 

Will you stay this time?

I don’t have a reason to stay. 

But if I asked, will you stay? 

NO, I won’t. Seon Yul is resisting to smile. He knows why she is doing this. She is teasing her. He added “You know I will be back after 5 weeks” 

That’s why I asked”, Soo Hyun replied with a smile, too. “I will wait for you then… to come back” 

Whatever for? Why? He asked back. 

Hmmmm...I’d like to date you. So I can take you out for lunch or dinner, or maybe breakfast? She is rumbling her words and she is so damn nervous. 

Butterflies felt all over Seon Yul’s body upon hearing those words. He is grinning from ear to ear. 

Hmmm…am I late, already Seon Yul? 

You have the worse timing ever, Soo Hyun. 

Can we keep this a secret for awhile? 

We will be living a lie, Soo Hyun 

But…its just that…what matters is you and I…for now 

Seon Yul wants to hug her so bad and yet he is still unsure. “Soo Hyun, you don’t have to do this, you know. I am not running away from you..I understand your not”… Unable to finish his sentence, Soo Hyun rushed towards him and hugged Seon Yul abruptly. Soo Hyun is so tender and soft. Seon Yul feels the world is coming to an end but he doesn't care if this is the last feeling he will ever get. The 1st time ever , they hugged. She whispered in his ear, “I know but I want to. I don’t yet know what my true feelings for you but I am ready to try, if you still have me”. I’m sorry”

Now she is the one in his ear. Seon Yul felt dizzy and time stood still for both of them. Is she gonna kiss me? Seon Yul in his loud thoughts. Then Soo Hyun smirked and did a step back and said “it is payback for what you did do me last time”. 

Both laughed crazily. 

Hey, crazy love birds, sorry but unless we have our own plane then we can delay but we don’t! Yoo Ra is pissed off at them already

I have to go.. There is no turning back now? Are you sure? 

Yes, I am sure, Seon Yul. 

Then, I will come back for you. Wait for me then. He moved closer to her and held her hand. He caressed her cheeks and God knows he wanted to kiss her right there and take her…in the lips but he restrained,still. Softly he grabbed her face, moved his lips closer to hers and breathe into her but moved his lips and kissed her forehead instead like she is the most precious thing in the world to him. 

She is.

Walking away now, God he misses her already. He is the happiest that he’s ever been and he looked back and semi- shouted 

I’ll call you when we landed. 

I’ll wait, she responded. 

Falling like the stars, they are finally falling in love.
