I stood up from the bench in order to head back home, but felt a strong hold pulling on my t-shirt. I looked down to see Ahana holding on my shirt tightly and looking downwards at her feet.
"Ahana?" I called out to her getting a hold of her shoulder and she broke down again into a puddle of tears.
I hold her shoulders tightly and made her stand up on her feet, she at once buried her face in my chest letting all her sorrows out in my chest. It took me off guard at first but I was fast enough to hug her back patting her head giving her the most comfort and feeling of safety I could.
Once she slowed down her crying and eventually stopped, she backed up and stood all flustered from her actions. Her eyes were puffed from crying and her nose and cheeks were red and flustered. I softly smiled at how adorable like a squishy she looked.
We started walking towards her home. I was extremely curious about a lot of things happened between us, but in short let's just say I was curious about her. But I was quite hesitant of asking her any question at this moment.
"I want to talk to you, Namchan" Ahana said suddenly catching me off guard.
I looked at her a bit surprised but I was relieved that atleast she started talking.
"I-I actually.....I needed to talk somethings and clear all the incidents going on that both of us are witnessing....and I think you deserve an explanation....."
"We both deserve an explanation from each other and even I would like to confess a few things to you" I said holding her hands into mine giving a reassuring smile to her.
I loved how she looked so flustered around me. I loved how her strong personality became so cute and vulnerable around me and I hella loved the way she felt safe and comfortable around me and trusted me so much more than people around her whom she has been known for years
She sighed heavily and I squished her hands a little bit making her believe that she can trust me and feel safe with her secrets being known by me.
"I always kept myself a secret, since my middle school till today in my university the only thing people knew about me was my name and that I am a class topper and I am a weirdo. I wont blame you if you think the same. But trust me I am not, I am not rude by choice nither do I wear those oversized, old, ugly, men's clothes by choice, but I have to force myself to be like this, totally isolated, a weird nerd so that people wont talk to me. I even never had a good bonding with my brother, I hardly even talk to him since I started middle school. I have only learnt to hate as the only thing thrown towards me was hate. I never received love from anyone nither did I even liked anyone except the secret life I had in back of mind and was scared to death to disclose it to anyone. Let's just say its rebellious and wild.
I can just beg you to not say anything you know about me since the first day. Can you do that much for me, Namchan?"
She asked with her eyes pleading at me, tears falling in thin streams down her flushed cheeks and her hands grabbing my wrist for dear life.
"Do you trust me,Ahana?"
