Chapter 26 - 26. Live Well... (2/2)

He was slightly sleepy but thought that he could push through it.

He powered through for an hour but the warm milk he had drunk, the tranquil and warm room and the person beside him were not favouring him.... and before he knew it he had fallen asleep.

In his sleep he felt like his head floated for a bit and then dropped over marshmallows, he felt really comfortable and shifted his legs to get into an even better position.

He had felt a sudden drop in temperature and his body unconsciously twitched because he didn't like this coldness, that didn't come from the environment, but from the inside of a person. Well, it didn't last long because Meilin, he knew it was her through his instincts, patted his head and hummed a lullaby for him.

She hadn't sung for him in a while and he had forced himself to climb the wall to do something about the void she created by not singing for him, so, he knew the song; it was one of NIL's song called 'Good Night', from her first album, 'Live Well'...he liked it a lot!

As Meilin had guessed, he didn't sleep last night.

He was adamant on finding something about that guy and also about her life in the years she was not by him.

He had not wanted to pry in her private life and had abstained from doing so in those years.

He didn't put her under his watch, even though, he wanted nothing but to place her in a glass beside him forever; he waited for her to contact him once a week and never initiated it as she didn't let him, even though, he wanted to hear her mellow voice every single moment of his life; he didn't track her down in those years and waited for her to give him any information on her, even though, he wanted to bind her to him and never let go of her.

He persisted through years, he waited and he remained patient.

Their relationship can withstand the passage of time and distance, he believed in it and remained passive and it paid off as she did return to his side.

When she left, he knew what she wanted but he also knew that he wouldn't let her get it.

She wanted to deceive herself of her feeling for him, she thought she will be able to ignore them by staying away from him and he was determined to prove her wrong and he was proven right.

When she came back, even though, she had put on many walls, just a glance at him and her uncontrollable love for him had seeped out from her eyes, it was the same for him but she had too much of a negative EQ to notice it.

She had wanted to push him away and he decided to 'go' along with it.

Now that she was back and their feelings were mutual, no matter her struggle, he would make sure that she realizes that their love was a swamp, her struggle didn't mean anything, he would prove this to her in a hard way that all her struggle will only push her deeper into it.

He decided to play with her, it'll be her punishment for leaving him behind, he would force her to accept her feelings by herself.

He would not let her leave anymore, once was more than enough!!
