Within that conversation, both didn't realize when the stiff awkwardness they had been struggling with was gradually dissipating without their notice.
Shui felt as though she spent her lifetime of her stored energy into this single conversation. She fanned herself, feeling breathless.
Jin still wasn't sure of the destination so he asked, "So should I head to the base or-"
"My house! My house please!" She speechlessly exclaimed.
Jin wasn't quite satisfied with that decision. He gave a simple nod and looked back at the road.
After a few moments of silence, Shui steeled her own courage and said, "It is true that I was really hurt by your words that night."
Jin's eyelashes faintly trembled.
"I couldn't forget them to this date, and I decided it was for the best to keep my distance from you now on. It was difficult seeing you anymore when the man I…loved hated my sight to this extent."
