• I Love You •

"Juana..."

The boy who entered the room saw something he had never thought of. The girl left the window open, which had never been opened for so long. Juana, who was leaning out of the window, cleaned the window panes and filled her lungs with fresh air with a small smile. The girl still didn't see Taehyung, who was trembling by the door.

Taehyung approached the girl with trembling legs and pulled her into his arms, while the girl was a bit surprised. She realized that the boy was already crying a lot. But she can't think of a reason for that. Taehyung felt a strange feeling when he felt that his love had not left him. At the same time, he got greedy about staying away from the girl.

"Tae, what happened? Did you finish work early today?"

No matter what kind of questions the girl asked, the boy was in no mood to answer them. He continued to let out his tears when the girl also started touching his head. At this time, Taehyung felt a lot of energy. 

He had an indescribable love for the girl still being by his side without deceiving him. Indeed, it is difficult for him to put that love into words.

"Juana. I... love you! I love you!"

Finally, he turned the love he was holding in his heart into two or three words with difficulty. In this way, he said how much he loved Liyu. How many times has that love been rejected? But he thought that Juana would not reject his love. He wants to enjoy love right here in life. It was just an innocent desire. But how will Juana feel about it?

How many times must he have kissed Liyu in front of her eyes? Are her cheeks filled with kisses? If, for so long, his eyes were filled with love only for Liyu, then he was going to give her the same love that he had because of Liyu, wasn't it?

No matter how good Juana thought, she couldn't stop feeling a little sad and jealous when she remembered the love he showed Liyu. I think that it can't be love at all if there is no such little jealousy. Anyway, Juana can understand that now he is asking for love from her.

"Me too, I love you too Taehyung!"

With the girl's words, the boy felt like lightning was moving throughout his body. For the first time in his life, someone expresses love in his name. He had no reason to doubt Juana's love. Because she had already stolen his heart.

After hugging each other for a few minutes, they went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. Even though he used to come home after work, today he did not feel alone as usual, in the kitchen preparing food.

Taehyung started comparing the two when Juana got a lot of new things that Liyu didn't get. But because of those comparisons, the love for her only increased.

"I'll make the pasta, Tae, you sit down."

"No, no. I will prepare the food today. You sit here."

After picking up the girl and making her sit on the kitchen counter, Taehyung raised the arms of his black hoodie with a beautiful smile on his face. His beautiful smile, which has not come out in front of anyone for so long, has started to be on his face most of the time today.

How Taehyung shakes his hair while cooking. How to suddenly wonder if something has been forgotten. Even the haphazard way of chopping vegetables showed his eagerness to do this thing well.

Taehyung tried his best to give the best to his love. His love is so attractive. So why did everyone miss that love? Maybe Taehyung's love is hidden among many perfect people. Because no one tried to take it out.

Taehyung, who prepared the food to the best of his ability, took the girl down very carefully. The girl, still in his clothes, looked like a little bear cub to him.

He wanted to bring clothes for the girl, but his heart disobeyed him. He likes to see Juana wearing his clothes without hating them. Even those little things that Juana does, while Liyu never did, became a big deal to him.

"So how's the food?"

Taehyung asked as he looked at the girl sitting on the floor eating next to him. Both of them liked to eat while sitting on the floor near the window of their small room. It was a place closer to their hearts than any other place.

Everyone has a special place associated with their love. For both Taehyung and Juana, that place was a window that had never been opened. But now that window is always open. Just like Juana opened Taehyung's heart.

After eating two or three small mouthfuls of food, Juana started to answer Taehyung who was sitting next to her and looking at her with shining eyes.

"Mmm, this is really delicious Tae!"

"Ah, is that real Juana? Does it really taste good?"

Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise and happiness. Even though he knew that he could not cook very well, but that food could be eaten. But he remembered something Liyu said. 'Please, I don't want the food you make.'

Liyu always rejected everything the boy did with love. But today, when Juana accepts all that happily, what should he do? Maybe even a little disbelief can come to that mind.

"I'm telling the truth. If it's a lie, try it yourself."

"But with this? This is what you eat. Don't you have a problem?"

"It's okay, please. Come here and eat."

Juana filled her spoon with food and held it towards the boy, looking at the happiness in those eyes. In fact, his heart was filled with happiness like never before.

Finally, he finds someone who loves him and accepts his love in the same way. Does that mean all the problems are over here? No, not at all. Fate never likes to make people weak. That is why people have to continuously face challenges and become stronger.
