Minutes passed, and Eun So still did not answer Haneul. It made him feel the worse that he hugged her even tighter.
When Haneul had wept all the tears, he sat up and put his hands on her face. He said, "Tell me you love me too, Eun So. Tell me you'll accept me despite my circumstance."
They didn't have to lie to each other. They had gone past the stage of figuring out their feelings. Only the formality was left unsettled, naming their relationship.
"Eun So, do you believe me? Do you believe me when I say I had no idea how I got to the hotel?" Haneul asked since she remained silent.
Eun So was too heartbroken to speak, but she leaned her head closer against his forehead and wrapped her arms around his neck. It was her way of saying she believed him.
She did not know how it happened, but the next thing she felt was his lips, brushing against hers.
