37 Let Me Introduce Myself (2/2)

Instead, he walked over to Yoona, not letting his eyes off of her.

Yoona gulped. From the reactions of the girls, it was clear that this man was dangerous and more then he lead on.

She took a step back, surprised by this development. She couldn't understand why he was looking at her with such a longing gaze. Sure, there was a slight sense of familiarity she felt with him. But after searching through all the memories in her head, she couldn't recognize him from anywhere. Plus, this man was filthy rich. She could not have any connections with him unless it was through the Moon siblings.

”I think it's time to introduce myself,” he said.

She nodded slowly.

”Although you may not remember since you were young, we hung out a lot at my estate when we were kids. During that time, you used to call me 'Mini'.” He let out a smile, one that could blind any female from a meter away. He wasn't one to smile, but the occasion was too joyous to hide his true feelings. ”My name is Chae Minhyun. Do you remember me?”

Mini... Yoona snapped her head up in shock. It couldn't be! Her voice was stuck in her throat, unable to reply. This couldn't be the childhood friend that she had when she was a child.

Her eyes a.n.a.lyzed his dark hair, all the way to his eyes, to the bottom of his chin. When she pieced his words together with the rest of her memories, everything began to make sense. The young boy she used to play with had similar features to the man in front of her. The reason to why he gave her the tip was somewhat explainable as well.

She couldn't believe it. This was an absolute shock to her.

Flashes of all their memories together played back. Everything was finally together, no scene missing from the movie of their childhood. Their first meeting, first meal, the time they snuck out to watch the stars, all came back to her. She placed her hands in front of her wide mouth.

Yoona didn't know whether or not to scream of joy or cry.

”I-I can't believe it.”

”Believe it,” Minhyun said with a chuckle.

She shook her head. She paced around in small circles. ”This all seems like a dream. You cannot be real. I thought you were dead!”

He furrowed his eyebrows. ”Dead?”

Yoona scrunched her eyebrows. ”Well, clearly not since you are alive and well right now... I... I don't know what to say. I'm so overwhelmed. My mother told me you were dead. That's what I've been believing this whole time.”

That explained a lot. Now, the hurt that she didn't remember him completely disappeared.

He couldn't help but stare at her lovingly. ”Well, I'm alive and well.”

Suddenly, she was pulled into a warm embrace. She could feel his arms wrap around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

Although she was taken aback, she didn't dare to move. For some reason, the skins.h.i.+p felt so right - something she'd never experienced before.

In his arms, she felt safe.

Minhyun laid his chin against her shoulder before whispering in her ear. ”Sorry about this. I've been wanting to do it the moment I laid eyes on you. Please forgive me.”

Yoona shook her head. She was more than happy to see the person who brightened up her childhood. She let out a laugh. A sense of happiness overtook her when she realized that a special person had reentered her life. ”It's okay. You can hug me as much as you want.”

She felt his grip tighten by her command.

”I missed you so much,” he mumbled.

Yoona wrapped her arms around him. ”I missed you too.”
