Chapter 13 (1/1)

(Shim Changmin's P.O.V)I felt the cold material being pulled of my body. I felt my damp skin turn into a field of goosebumps as the cold air hit my skin. I couldn't move. I had been in the cold too long.At some point I did however regain a bit of my consciousness. At some point, perhaps when she began to use that noisy blowdrier on me. My mind was alert. I couldn't speak even if I had wanted to, so I pretended to be asleep. What would I have done anyway? Blinked at her?" Changmin... " she whispered.She didn't say anything." Min-ah, " she whispered. She paused again before continuing." Min-ah, you look so beautiful... I missed you... No, I still do actually.. You're infront of me yet I can't reach you. You're married now... "I heard her laugh bitterly." Who knew it would be Dara... "She paused for so long I'd thought she'd soundlessly left the room." Min-ah, do you miss me too? Did you think about me at all? "She paused." I waited so long. It hurt but I loved you... I thought you loved me too... "I heard her sniff." Was everything a lie?... "I heard her sob." I was stupid wasn't I? To think you loved me... Everyone told me you didn't. That you'd marry some rich chick. Heck, I knew it would happen... I just didn't think it would have been like this.. I thought you'd break up with me first... "I heard her break down. She was crying so hard I could hear the movement of her chest against her sweater. I could feel her pain. But I couldn't show it. I was asleep. Atleast to her. I had to pretend to protect her. If there was anything she valued, it was her pride. She wouldn't want me to know that she'd just poured her heart out like this." Atleast now I know... " I heard her sob and sniff before bending over me. I stiffened. Had she figured out I was awake? She caresses my cheek lightly before placing a light kiss on my cheek. One that made me want to cry with guilt and the love I knew I still had for her, the love for her that I had never really lost in the first place.And then she whspered in my ear, words that from her were very rare, words that she reserved only for rare moments, words that from her were very special..." I love you... "With that I heard her shuffle away.I felt my heart gasp. If it were a living being of its own mind it would've jumped out of my body and ran after her.Heck, I wanted to get up, run after and hug her. Hold her till she believed me. I wanted to let her know that I loved her.Not Dara.I loved C.L.
