Chapter 39: Confession!
When the world outside was in chaos the person who caused all this was sleeping soundly.
"Hmm," I woke up only to smell antiseptic. I still lay on my bed and didn't sit up while thinking.
'They brought me to the hospital. I was too tired from acting and not killing them in one shot.' I thought as I sat up on my bed and saw Jin-ah sleeping while sitting on the chair as her head was resting on my bed. I shook my head as I saw that it was currently 5 A.M. I smiled as I saw her and I can see the tear marks on her face.
I feel bad for worrying her. I didn't want her to be sad but I guess that is too much to ask, as you will always care for someone you love no matter how powerful they are.
I smiled as I caressed Jin-ah's head.
And she woke up, I took my hand back as I saw her rubbing her eyes lazily.
"Did I wake you up?" I asked her in a soft voice to not startle her.
She stopped and looked at me with her big eyes and blinked a few times.
"I just woke up, if you act so cutely I might pass out again," I told her with a smile.
She then jumped on me pushing me down on the bed as she hugged me. I didn't do anything as I could feel her trembling. I guess I scared her a bit too much. I didn't know my acting was this good.
I hugged her who was laying on top of me and patted her back.
"Why....Did Hic* You have to do something so dangerous?" she asked while crying on my chest.
"Looks like I worried you a bit too much. Sorry. " I said while hugging her. She hugged me with more force and said.
"I don't want to lose you." she lifted her head and looked me in the eyes. I can see her gray eyes had a lot of determination.
"Haru....." she said while looking at me.
"I love you." Her face turned red as she said that but still looked me in my eyes.
"You know I proposed to Hae-in right," I said with a bit of embarrassment and guilt.
"You call that a confession even a 12-year-old can do better." She said and it dealt me more damage than the monarchs.
"Unnie told me about it when I told her that I like you. I wanted to wait but... I don't want to risk it again. I wanted to tell you how I feel. So answer me." She said while glaring at me.
I thought of my feelings towards her. I have liked her all this time as I spent my time with her, so I'll say it as well
"I love you too," I said as I felt my face getting hot as it is my first time saying this to someone. I have never been in a relationship before.
"What about..." I was about to ask but...
"We are Ok with it." She said while looking at me with clear determination.
"You have already talked about it," I said as I was surprised.
"I wanted to talk to you both about it slowly but aren't you acting too fast. What if you regret it later." I told her while caressing her cheek. I wanted to take it slow so that they can accept it.
"When you were asleep we had our final talk and we agreed. As either of us doesn't want to lose you. And what do you mean regret? You are looking down us." She said as she was glaring at me fiercely.
"I am sorry what can I do to make you happy," I asked her as she looked away. I pulled her towards me as I kissed her on her lips which surprised her as her eyes were wide open at the start. But then she closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss. It was a slow kiss as both of us hugged and felt each other's warmth. After 5 minutes I pulled back as she was breathing heavily then she looked up with tears in her eyes as she laid her head on my chest.
I hugged her and said.
"Sorry for being such a bastard, and letting you talk about this."
I said to her as I have been worried about how can I talk about this topic with no would want to share their loved ones. No matter if you are a man or woman it isn't something normal for those who live in modern society.
What would you do if someone said you to have romantic relations with your Girlfriend/wife? Of course, no one would agree, so how can you expect your Girlfriend/wife to let you have a romantic relationship with another woman.
"You are overthinking things again. That has been a bad habit of yours since childhood. Just be glad that you have us and live happily." I heard her voice as I saw her looking at me with a cheeky smile.
Well, she isn't wrong I always had a habit of overthinking stuff. I gave her a peck on her lips as I said.
"Thank you. I won't say things like I'll love you equally and stuff. But I'll make sure you don't regret your decision in the future." She snorted and stood up.
"If you did say that I would've kicked you in your balls....." she said with an angry look.
"I'll go and wash my face." She said as she went outside the room
I can only smile wryly at this. But it is understandable.....
After 15 minutes she came back and scolded me for nearly an hour and after that Jin-ah left as she had school but not before scolding me.
Hae-in came in the meantime as she looked at me with worry and asked me a lot of questions about my health and if I have any injuries. I just waved my hand as I stood up.
"Y-You should lay down on the bed. You might still have injuries. So don't mo-" I went near her and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry for worrying you," I said to her.
She was silent for a while then hugged me tightly as well.
"I taught I wouldn't be able to see you again." She said in a calm voice while burying her head in my chest while trembling a bit.
All I could do was calm her down for some time she then looked up while still hugging me.
"Let's go on a date after I am discharged," I told her with a smile.
She was stunned as she looked at me with a red face then buried her face in my chest again and hugged me tightly.
"Un," she said as she was happy. Then I saw the door open and the person that came in froze.
"I am sorry for interrupting you," Kanae said as she closed the door again. And Hae-in finally snapped out and ran after her with a red face. And after 5 minutes they both came in with kanae bringing a container and a lunch box.
"Hmm, what did you bring?" I asked her.
"It's some healthy soup and breakfast." She said while glaring at me but that just makes her look cute in my opinion.
"Thank you, Kanae," I said to her with a smile she then looked away.
"Shut up and just eat." She said while blushing a little and then giving me some food. It was a normal Japanese breakfast with grilled salmon, rolled eggs, and miso soup with rice. I started eating and it was tasty like way too tasty. So ate slowly while savoring the taste
"H-How is it?" she asked a bit nervously as she saw me eating without saying anything.
"It's the best breakfast I've had in years," I said with a smile.
She smiled brightly at my compliment.
Then she looked at Hae-in who was looking at her.
"What happened Hae-in?" Kanae asked as she didn't understand what was going on.
"Nothing," Hae-in said as she glared at me. I didn't do anything you know after that they left together. To talk about something important according to Hae-in.
And I was left alone for the day as people came and visited me this included the Japanese hunter as well. They came in and thanked me for saving them.
Then Jin-woo and aunt came as well. After talking for a while Jin-woo went out. With aunt sitting in front of me looking at me while smiling.
"Aren't you popular to have two girls in love with you?" She said.
"I know right. I couldn't be luckier." I said while smiling.
"You brat. You think I am joking with you right now." She pulled my ear with the same smile.
"OUCH OUCH OUCH stop, stop it's going to fall off," I said in a pitiful voice.
"Don't act in front of me," she said while pulling my ears.
"No seriously stop. It hurts." She then released my ear as she looked at me and said.
"You better not make them sad or you know what is coming for you." She said as she made a fist.
"Yes believe me. I won't let it come to that I promise." my answer caused her to look at me with a smile and said.
"You better keep your word Jin-ah has always liked you since she was like 12 years old." She said while looking at me.
"Marrying more than one person isn't uncommon as there are many countries who have legalized polygamous marriage." She said I was looking at her while nodding as it was true.
"I know you won't make them sad but I just wanted to tell you this. So rest for now." She said while leaving.
"Thank you aunt for believing in me," I said. I may have failed them once but I won't do it again and make sure they are happy.
She smiled and went out.
I then laid on my bed as the doctors came in to do some check-ups and when I asked them when I will be discharged they said tomorrow at the earliest.
I nodded as I saw my status.

"Yes come in," I answered as I sat up on my bed.
