When he remains silent, Chang Seol bursts into tears. She can't take it anymore. Wailing loudly, she covers her face with her fists. It's too much. Did she misunderstand him? Does he truly not like her at all? Then, she can't bear this weight of one-sided love. She wants to be freed from this pain.
Why is loving someone painful? If love isn't supposed to be painful, then who can explain the pain in her heart? She doesn't want to be in love again.
The sound of her soft sobs pierces his soul. He can't bear it either. Maybe it's wrong. He should not do this. The bond might become stronger. But he can't hear her cry like this.
Mister grabs her wrists and pulls her hand away from her face.
Looking at her tear-stained face, he asks her, "Idiot, when you already know that my heart beats louder when I am with you, why do you ask me for confirmation?"
Chang Seol sniffles. Is this a confession?
