81 A Late Realization (2/2)

Besides, didn't they promise to be honest with each other? She should just ask!

But even though curiosity raked her brain, something was holding her back.

”Well,” she said after clapping her hands nervously. ”That's good. I have no complaints. Keep doing what you were doing then.”

First off, she wasn't sure what her feelings were. How would she answer him if he said yes? Also, this situation could also break their wonderful bond. She couldn't risk losing him. Though they had been with each other for a short amount of time, he had become an important person to her.

She needed to watch him some more to confirm her suspicions. Right now she was treading dangerous waters.

Minhyun raised an eyebrow. Something about Yoona's actions was off. She was clearly holding her words back. ”I thought we were supposed to be honest with each other. Tell me what is on your mind.”

Yoona cursed under her breath.

Of course he would catch that something was off.

She bit her lip. What to do? With her feelings unsorted, how was she supposed to ask about him?

”You know what. There has been something on my mind. Right now, I need to sort my feelings out,” she said honestly. ”I'll ask you later. Give me some time.”

Being truthful was the right road to go. Minhyun had been patient with her the whole time and was the most kind to her, she couldn't let him down. He was the biggest help during whole Moon siblings situation being the sword to her revenge. If there was one thing she could offer, it was her sincerity.

Minhyun c.o.c.ked his head. ”Now i'm curious. How much time do you need?”

Perhaps the toughest question she had encountered in her life, Yoona was stumped with coming up with an answer. There were two things that she needed: time to sort out her own heart and time to find out what was in his. She couldn't just list the amount of days and hope for the best, there had to be thought put into her answer.

”The gala,” she breathed. ”I'll ask you at the end of the gala.”

Not too long, not too short. She would have spent many hours with him as his date during this time. Since she couldn't leave him hanging, the gala seemed like the best time to tell him. Plus, she would have a few nights to think over everything.

Minhyun nodded. ”Okay, i'll wait till then.”

He needed mind waiting. In fact, after a.s.sessing the situation he had already pieced together what the question in her mind could be.

She finally noticed. The words he was speaking from his heart finally reached her sincerity and the s.h.i.+ft between friends and potential lovers had occurred.

Even though she tried to hide it, Minhyun could feel the difference in her tone and eyes. It was very slight - almost invisible to the human eye and silent to the human ear, but he could tell. She was viewing him differently.

Now, it was her turn to figure out what she felt. And Minhyun was going to do whatever he could to obtain the happiest outcome during gala night.

It was going to be a busy weekend, but Minhyun was determined to secure two of the most important things in his life.

Yoona's heart and her safety.
