“I was in love with him for three years. That’s three years of my life, but in the end, I didn’t even stand a chance at all. I didn’t even get to confess my feelings…” She felt much more aggrieved as she brought up her sadness and the tears.
streamed down her face from the side of her eyes uncontrollably. The street lights outside shone through the window and he could clearly see everything in front of him.
He could not help his furrowed brows and his expression was complex.
She seemed to treat him as a confidante as she sniffled and continued. “Those three years of liking him secretly was torturous. I tread carefully and befriended him; I showed concern and took good care of him; I would always wish him well during every single festival of the year because I didn’t want him to forget about me. Sobs… He still ended up getting back together with his ex girlfriend…” As soon as Ruka mentioned this, she turned around and snuggled into Ren’s arms. She seemed to be in need of
someone to support her and she even wiped her tears on his expensive suit.
Ren patted her on the back quite gently. as he comforted her calmly, “There is nothing to be sad about. He lost someone who cared about him while you didn’t.”
“You don’t get it… You wouldn’t be able to comprehend how much it hurts to harbor feelings for someone secretly…” she spoke in a muffled tone with her face buried in his arms. At that moment, there was a flash of a pained smile across Ren’s lips. After all, he knew better than her the complicated feeling behind being secretly in love with someone…
However, the person he was secretly in love with was currently in his arms, confiding her love for someone else to him.
As Ruka sobbed, it suddenly dawned. upon her whose arms she was currently in and who she was clinging onto. Immediately, she grasped his shoulders for support and tried to get up. Just as she had gotten up, a reckless car zipped through the traffic, causing the bodyguard to slam on the emergency brakes to avoid the car.
Instantly, the girl holding onto Ren’s shoulders for support felt a huge shove and she tumbled toward the front. Subsequently, her red lips landed on his perfect-looking thin lips.
Shocked in her drunken state, her eyes immediately widened as she covered her mouth. However, she felt another force that pushed her into his arms and she ended up hugging him tightly as she remained clinging to his neck.
Ren lowered his head as the girl in his arms lifted her head anxiously. At that moment. their gazes met. and there was a
dark look in the man’s eyes while the woman had a clear but flustered look in hers. At such close proximity and paired with the intimacy they shared from earlier, it felt as if a forbidden spell had been lifted between them.
Even though the interior of the car was considered to be quite roomy and spacious, the space felt so tiny to Ruka that she found it hard to breathe. She had nowhere else to escape to, so she clutched her chest and got out of his arms. At that moment, her heart thudded frantically.
I’m sorry. Embarrassed, Ruka apologized to him and inched her head. as close to the side car window as possible and she seemed to think that by doing so, she could separate herself from the fact that she had just kissed him.
Normally, she trusted that he would definitely accept her apology but today, despite her repeated attempts to apologize, he refused to acknowledge and accept it.
It felt as if he refused to disregard the kiss.
