Every word leaving Zaki’s mouth were like heartfelt yet sorrowful song. The honesty in his eyes was burning like raging wild fire, fierce and intense.

Hinari’s heart was bleeding as she listened to him. She didn’t know that he was also in grave danger. She didn’t know that he couldn’t even walk outside freely anymore. His story broke her heart over and over again. She couldn’t even imagine how this man survived all these.

When she first met him, he was jolly, filled with mischievousness and always playing around. She never once thought that he was someone who experienced hell in this world. No one could ever tell just by looking at him.

Thinking about it, Hinari was feeling so hurt. She wanted to at least take even a little piece of his pain. She wanted him to stop hurting. She wanted to take this man with her and just fly to sky. She just wanted to hide him in a place where no one could ever hurt him again, no matter how far it was. She just wanted the world to leave him alone and let him live the life he deserved.

Deep within her, Hinari was so emotional that she could barely hang on. She didn’t understand why the world was so cruel to him. God, isn’t it enough? Why my beauty needs to be in danger too? Why is it him again? Please... leave him alone. Please... don’t hurt him anymore.

Hinari couldn’t stop her tears as it quietly fell from her eyes. She was supposed to feel so happy that she could die the moment he said he needed her but why does it need to be this painful too?

"B-beauty... what should I do to help you?" she forced herself to speak. She was trying so hard not to burst out and cry.

"Silly... didn’t I say I needed you? You’re existence is enough for me. You don’t need to do anything; all you have to do is just stay with me." He said as he wiped her tears. "Don’t worry about my safety. My brother is still here to protect me."

As he said those, Hinari sniffed as her tears kept falling.

"Please don’t cry." Zaki continued as he gazed at her, deep and passionate as ever. "I feel like crying too if you cry like this. Or, do you want me to kiss you?"

Hinari immediately pouted as she quickly put her forefinger on Zaki’s lips to stop him from leaning in on her.

"I don’t want your kiss right now! You still didn’t say that!" Hinari’s voice suddenly went louder while Zaki face turned red. His gaze wandered around before he cleared his throat.

His hand held Hinari’s wrist and put her hand down slowly before his hand fell under her ear.

"I’m sorry, I couldn’t prepare anything for this special moment." Zaki said. He seemed to be so damn nervous. Hinari could even feel the loud beat of his heart.

As he opened his mouth again, the emotions in his eyes were burning even more intensely. Time seemed to have stopped as their eyes locked onto each other.

"Hinari... I... I love you."

The moment those words left Zaki’s mouth, Hinari fell in daze. Zaki was expecting her to jump on him so they can finally seal this confession with an intense kiss. But to his surprise, Hinari suddenly crouched down and before Zaki could react, Hinari suddenly cried out loud.

"Uwahhhh...." Zaki was stunned. He didn’t expect Hinari to cry so loud like a child. He would understand if it’s tears of joy but Hinari was crying her lungs out that Zaki can’t help but felt worried.

Extremely worried, he crouched down as well and held her face. "W-what’s wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?"

"No! Uwahh... I am just too... too..." before Hinari could say the word ’happy’, a certain sound made both of them turned.

"CLICKT!" Hinari even stopped crying as her eyes widened when they saw little Shin put a handcuff on Zaki.

"Little Shin, what-"

"CLICKT!" When the other end of the chain was locked on Hinari’s wrist, the two fell speechless.

The Little guy then stood and glared at Zaki before running away.

Zaki: ". . ."

Hinari: ". . ."
