Kapitel 285: Short-lived Kiss-I

Lee Taehyung found himself replying question Seulgi asked about his family even when it was all but a horrible nightmares to her. He looked at her, finding Seulgi running her gaze again and chuckled, "I don't fear being alone. Maybe I did when I was young but as I grew up, I learned that being alone is much better than staying with others. I don't want to get hurt. It's cowardly, don't you think?"

Seulgi stared at the way Lee Taehyung smiled tightly when he spoke and it tugged her heartstring, making her to feel sad from his words, "Running away is not cowardly. Seoyeon also told me that taking a step back is sometimes a push forward. It's human's instinct to run from pain."

"I guess you are right," Lee Taehyung said, his heart moved at her word which no one had never told him before, "What about you, do you fear being lonely?"
