When Shi heard Yang she felt as if a bomb had exploded inside her brain. She could not believe that the person she loved liked her back.
Yes, it was not love but still, it was better than nothing right? She reasoned with herself.
Meanwhile, Yang who was sitting in front of her felt as if he was a convict awaiting his judgment,
He assumed that the reason Shi was so reluctant to believe in love and to love others was that because she was hurt by her father.
By the person who was supposed to love her for her entire life and that is why he had planned to take small steps to win her heart, to prove it to her that he was serious about their relationship and that it was not just a fling for him and now this,
Only he knew that when he first met her, he knew that he would have to spend the next few days re-arranging his mind so there'd be room for her to stay.
Forever.
He sighed to himself as he thought of ways as to how to salvage the situation in front of him when he suddenly once again heard her,
"Why?"
She asked just a simple sentence but Yang felt as if his soul had left his body as he thought how to answer her,
'I love you because you are you.'
This is what he wanted to say but in the end, the sentence that came out of him was,
"The reason why I like you?"
When he saw Shi nodding her head he continued,
''There is no reason. There should be no reason. If you love someone because of a reason, when that reason is gone, your heart will change too. I like you without a reason. I like you because you are you.
When Shi heard him she felt exhilarated and kept thinking to herself as to how she lucky she would be if she could change his like into love for herself.
Yang was now getting tenser and tenser as he heard no reply from Shi, finally, his patience ended as he asked her.
"Please say something Shi. Anything! You can curse me or even hit me but please don't kill me with your silence.''
Shi looked at him as she thought whether she should tell him the truth or not but, in the end, she told him,
''I think I like you too Yang.''
And Yang on hearing his beloved liked him wanted to pat himself on his back as he thought to himself,
'Yes, Yang plan one was a success now I have got her confessions too which means that it is time was plan three getting her to love me.'
While Shi too shared similar thoughts, as she planned to change Yang's like for her into love.
Meanwhile up in the sky, the cupid threw away his bow and a quiver of arrows and decided to go on strike because of the stupid couple who loved each other but were so concerned for the other party that they refused to tell the other party about their true feelings.
