I never knew that alcohol could do this to a person.
However, I also came to understand why so many people become alcoholic. It is because of the pain that they harbor deep in their hearts. Only when they are drunk can they break out and break free from all the restraints.
In that moment when I'm able to release all of my pain, it feels great nevertheless!
I vaguely recalled grabbing someone's collar and asking, "Tell me, why can't I like Yin Dongyu? Why?!"
"Why can't I kiss him?"
"Why can't I marry him?"
"Why… does he reject me when clearly, he likes me?"
…
That's right.
Yin Dongyu likes me.
He thought I would never grow up, that I would always be that ignorant girl.
How could I not tell?
The intoxication and struggle in his eyes the first time we kissed. He was wistful and conflicted.
He ruthlessly pushed me away, but his eyes told me that more than anything, he wanted to hold me in his arms.
