(Mint POV)
That was so sudden. I can't even have the time to think about that properly, "A kiss" or what I else call "a smooch" cause it was so short period of time. I have never been in a relationship but I can clearly distinguish better in between a kiss and a smooch but this time it's a no sign. even though somehow I can explain how it feels like, it was a bit like a spark of electric shock running through my body for a very short period of time not longer than a few seconds. same as the when you give charge to a vehicle when turning on the engine, likewise it worked for me too, I was sobbing, when I get the smooch I can tell I stopped immediately. the sensation that gives me through smooch was, it's was a little bit of soft and warm, slightly pressures on my lips. but that was, it was like giving my body a sparkling sensation of joy I wasn't at cloud 9 but it was almost a good one. that good one gives my heart relief and relaxation from all this chaos.
"Feels better."
he asked.
"Yup!"
I nodded my head with that shocking face of mine. I didn't expect him to do that. I was continuously staring into his eyes. moreover, in a confusing way, I wasn't sure about what the meaning behind that smooch. he wants me to take a deep breath and need to calm down first. and stop sobbing myself cause, I need to listen to his words.
"you need to listen to my voice, now!!!"
"!!!!"
"do you think you are the only person having those kinds of feelings?"
wait!
"have you ever imagine how hard it's for me? a person like me who is more sure and open about me did choose to give up. when I see you how desperate you were about saving Max when he got captured by those people."
"I don't understand what are you trying to state."
"Mint, I like you, I like you a lot, from the moment I knew it's was you all along, those feelings were precisely precious."
"If you have a feeling for me, then why do you want me to help you with Eric?"
"That was an excuse to escape from the feelings that I have for you. as you can see for love life to happens between two people there must mutual feeling towards each other, I knew what was mine but, I wasn't sure about your feelings. I want to know, so I waited for the right moment. I tried to approach you first, on the day when Max got into trouble, I was planning to confess my feelings to you first. but as soon as I saw how treble stressed when you heard the news about Max getting into trouble. I thought you have feelings for him. so I shut my emotions cause I thought I had no chance out there."
I was speechless about his thoughts. and I preferred not to speak any further cause I didn't have anything else in my mind to say to him at that particular moment. and It was not his fault too. I can only blame myself for this all along. I wasn't brave enough to speak first. I am a man I should approach first to the person I like. if I did that back then on the first day when he comes to me for help things might be better now.
"I know if I said that to you, I might have a chance and may not have a chance too it was the probability of 50%-50%. if things were going down smoothly I might have you in my arms. but if not that might change our friendship entirely. I don't want to lose as a friend."
I cried out with all the left emotions inside me.
"I'm so sorry, I make you wait."
and...
then...
finally, I kissed his soft lips so hard that if I go on like this I might bite his lips off. we cried a lot, like, a lot. I hugged him tight and every second I the time pass the tightness of the hug increases. (kiss will be explained properly in some chapters after wait until then.)
"Finally, the sorrowful worry cane to an end."

(Jasmine POV)
"Hello! is anybody there?"
"Can someone hear me. hello!, I'm down here."
I am afraid, a lot. I don't know what to do, I don't know when I can get out of here. and what kind of this building is this? the lane broke down very easily even the entrance got blocked.
(Jasmine has trapped down a level on the parking lot, 3rd unit. the building was huge so it needed a parking lot bigger so they build the parking lot into three deep down level. Jasmine was on the 3rd when the earthquake, take away the 2nd lane of the parking lot she got trapped inside.)
"Hello!
why is there no network? I'm so frustrated right now. I should not accept the request by her.
I shouldn't have come here. now I'm trapped.
somebody help!!!"
I was asking for help a lot. like a lot, I was crying my lungs out. so somehow my voice can reach to someone up there. I was not affected by that that I'm sure that I was afraid. I don't know how much time I would have to be here. I don't know.
"Jasmine are you there? hello..."
someone is calling me who is it, I didn't have the time to think about that. I shouted.
"Help!!! I'm trapped on under 2nd level of the parking lot."
"Are you hurt?"
"I am fine completely."
"tell me what is the situation right now."
"the 2nd Lane broke down and due to that the road beside me got completely blocked I can't see anything at all opposite of me."
"ok don't take tension. I will take you out somehow. when I come to you, you have to approach me."
"what about the broken blocks? there are not still it standing straight it might fall."
"I know, but I'll make sure of your safety, I came with help. so no new to take any kind of stress. we will take you out."
after a while, I saw someone out there he was calling for me to climb over the broken blocks of cement. although it was dangerous I need to take the risk in order to get there. when I saw the person I was so relieved that he came to me. with his loud and soft voice he shouted.
"Take my hand, Jasmine."
