It felt like Joona's longing for Claire, who was now so beautiful, was beside him. He managed to trick her into dinner with him at a restaurant in Estrela. When Arjoona felt that his plan had succeeded in making her want to speak, it was he who was now hurt. The thing Claire said kept on making Joona retrieve his sins. He couldn't pay for that sin, no matter how long it took to forgive.
Claire closed her eyes as Arjoona gave her a soft kiss on her wet cheek, right at the corner of her lips. She didn't refuse but also didn't react other than just glancing at Joona with an upset look.
But Arjoona still gave a look full of love after kissing Claire's cheek. One hand joined to lightly caress Claire's back. Want him to hold and kiss more than the cheek. But he knew that Claire would stay away from him even more if he did. Joona smiled softly, then supported the side of his forehead with his arm resting on the back of the sofa.
