Jin checked the time where it had already been well past an hour but there was no sign of Alix yet. He trusted her promise to be back but his restless heart failed to calm down. In the silence of the loneliness, he backtracked and wondered if he did the right thing by confessing to her.
Did I ruin everything between us?
Should I have just kept quiet and only continued to be her good friend?
But he was aware that that wasn't any viable solution. Sooner or later, his feelings were bound to come out in front of her. It was impossible for them to remain as friends when he had fallen so hard for her.
"I think I am going to die…" he covered his face.
"Don't die so soon already."
His head jerked up and his eyes widened. A breath of relief escaped his lips, joy overflowing his heart.
"You are back."
"I said I would return. Did you not believe me?"
"I did but…"
The wait was the most agonizing I have ever endured.
