Chapter 16: Old Place, I Want to See You (6)
For two years, he had been away. Upon returning, he hadn’t even had the chance to say to her, "Be my girlfriend." She had already bashfully told him that she had fallen for a boy in the class next door.
Over the years, he came back to his country many times. He initially thought her crush was just a fleeting young love, but he never imagined she would hold onto it for six years.
She chased after that boy from middle school to university, and now to SE, unwilling to relent.
Thus, the ideal he had stored away when he first met her turned into a secret, hidden away carefully without a trace ever showing.
He once thought that perhaps life would continue like this. Even if she didn’t love him, as long as he could control his feelings and stay by her side, he would be content.
Until he recently learned in America that her life was a mess. He hurried back, and after getting off the plane and returning to the "Imperial Palace," he, having a severe cleanliness obsession, forgot to lock the door and went straight to take a shower. That led to the moment she broke in uninvited.
At that time, he was indeed a bit angry.
Angry that she had sold her body in such a way, even though he was the one she had succumbed to.
But later, he was rather grateful.
Truly grateful, grateful he was the legend, grateful he was Enson, grateful for the heavens arranging that twist of fate. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to secure a place next to her.
He was extremely grateful, grateful for that night when he lost his reason in a moment of heat. Even now, it felt like a dream to him. He hadn’t expected she would so easily become his woman.
