❝Would you still stay for me even if things starts to go wrong?❞

"You like me, right?" he smiled at the young boy.

"Yes..." he chuckled and blushed.

The tension between them started to aroused. Sitting on a bench, starring at the river, he feels calm especially when he is with him.

"I like you too, Lee."

"h-huh?"

"I said I like you too..." he smiled and looked down.

"Y-you do? W-when? W-why? H-how?" the young man answered, stuttering.

"I don't know? You make me feel different everytime. Even now..."

"A-aish! Don't tease me jebal!" and the boy covered his face.

He just laughed at his cuteness making him more blush. "Cute."

"But isn't it a-awkward for you?"

"Why would it be? I like you, understand? But it doesn't mean that I'll ask you out for a relationship because I know you'll still get hurt because of me," He then sighed, "We still can be friends you know?"

The young boy's heart shuttered after hearing his words. His ears hurt and he felt like he is bleeding all his soul out. It felt like the pain of his words that gave him hypnotized his tongue saying,

"Yes... Just friends."

The blind reaction of the elder answered in an innocent and smiling way, "Good."

He just smiled all his heart out avoiding to make his tears fall down from his brown hazel eyes.

It was a pain for him. His hopes went up high in a short time and it dropped after that eldest's statement.

He became deaf and was lost in thought and he just stared at the river's water.

And he looked beside him...

"It was worth it loving you..."
