Damon POV

I know where he is!! I quickly run into the library to see if he was there!! F*CK, why didn't I remember it earlier!!

As I arrived at the library, I immediately go the farthest part of this place and there I saw him but who is that man is talking to. My chest is starting to feel heavy again!! I can't help but clench my fist while looking at them. They look so close. Who the hell is he!!!

He is even laughing with him!! I don't know why I am feeling this way, but all I can interpret is that I'm so pissed right now!! I don't want to see him talking to anybody else besides me!! I can't stomach anything laughing and smiling with him beside me!! I should be the only one making him smile like that. It should be me!! So I quickly walk fast to their table, and without warning, I aggressively held his arms and pulled him up from his seat.

"WHAT ARE YOU" He was about to ask me, but I didn't let him finish. I just held his hands, and he pulled me up from his seat.

"WAIT!! WHERE ARE BRING HIM!!!" This f*cking guy angrily asked me while pulling Ace's other arm. I just glared at him to gave him a warning!! I don't want to burst in front of Ace!! I'm trying my best to hold my temper now!!! But instead of understanding what I want to say to him, this dense f*cking guy pulled him once again.

"YOU WANT TO DIE!!" I said to him. He was about to speak again, but Ace stopped him.

"Please, Nine, I can take care of myself. Let go of me." They are just looking at each other like they were talking using their gaze, which only pisses me of more!!! It takes him a few seconds before he thoroughly let go of his hands. I didn't waste any more minutes and just proceeded on pulling Ace away from that man.

I need to talk to him!! I need to speak with him alone!!!

"DAMON!! WHERE ARE YOU BRING ME!! PLEASE!! I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU ANYMORE. PLEASE JUST LEAVE HIM BE!!" He said to me while we are walking away. He tried pulling himself from my grip, but I just remain holding him so tight.

I will never let go of him again!! I need to talk to him!! I'm going crazy already!! This is the f*cking first time this happens to me that it's making me go insane, but I don't care anymore.

I don*t f*cking care about anything! I just want him!!!

Ace POV

We are currently on the rooftop

"What are we doing here, Damon. Don't tell me you're going to push me from here!! God Damon!! Are you going to stand at that level!! Please don't kill me!! Please don't!!" I said to him. I tried to turn around and run away from him, but what shocked me next he suddenly runs towards me and aggressively hugs me from behind.

I was stunned right at this freaking moment!! What is happening!!! I can feel his warm breath from my neck. It's making me feel something I don't understand!! My heart is starting to beat so crazy again!! What is happening to me!!

"I finally find you!! I finally was able to find you!!! I thought I lost you!! Ace, I thought I lost you!!" He said while hugging me. He sounded so happy but because I was confused with what he was telling me right now. I quickly turned around and asked him

"What are you saying, Damon? I can't understand what you are saying!! Please don't try to bluff me with any of your tricks anymore. I trusted you already before, but you just tricked me!!" I sadly said to him. I can still remember the look on his face when he chooses to ignore me when I needed him the most.

I expected him to laugh at me right now and say that he was just playing with me. but what I saw on his face made me more confused

"I'm sorry, Ace!! I didn't mean to be like that with you!! Pride and my ambitions have taken over me. I don't want them to see me as someone who can feel a little care for someone. Am I the infamous leader of Joker, right? We have a reputation to live up to. I have a reputation to live up to. I want to think straight!! I fear losing my image as the most frightening person here in the East, and all the things I work hard to gain to be taken over me!! But I know I was wrong!! I was so wrong for choosing to ignore you and let you be hurt instead. I'm sorry, please forgive me!!" He said to me. I don't understand what he is saying?? How can I be a dent in his so call reputation? I don't understand. I let go myself from his grip and slightly step back away from him

"I don't understand, Damon!! I feel confused!! What does your reputation get anything to do with me!! Why! Please explain it to me cause you are confusing me more right now!!" I said to him. I tried to walk back and forth, trying to calm myself down. I was stunned when he suddenly stopped me from walking and made me look at him again. He looks so serious

"It's because you're changing me, Ace!! You're changing me into something I don't ever want to admit. Something that I never thought I would be able to be ever!! You are making me go crazy!! You are making me think of you all the freaking time!!! I always think about you!! Every second of every day! Do you know how much I always look forward to meeting you whenever we are doing our project? I don't know how did this happen but ever since I saw you as I LOOK AT YOU closely you!! You already change me!! At first, I don't want to admit it because this is all new to me!! I never want to feel this!! I don't want to feel this, but you are making me go crazy, Ace!! I'm losing my mind because of you!!!" He said he even put his hands into his head like he was really going crazy. I still don't understand!!

"I still don't understand what you mean, Damon!! You don't want to admit what??" I asked him. He goes back into looking at me. He seemed so hesitant.

I waited for him to speak for a few minutes but is just looking at me!!!

"WHAT?? ARE YOU NOT GONNA SAY SOMETHING!!!" I asked him, but he just remains looking at me. Then he turned around. It seems that he really can't tell me what he meant about what he said.

"Okay! If you're not going to say something, then I'm out of here!! I can't keep waiting for you to say something until forever!!" I said to him. Then I turned around to start and walk away from him

"I LIKE YOU, ACE!! No!! I think I have fallen in love with you!!!" He suddenly speaks out of nowhere!!!

"WHAT?? " I shockingly said as I turned around and walked back at him. I pulled him harshly and made him look at me

"WHAT DID YOU MEAN YOU LOVE ME?? ARE YOU INSANE??" I said to him. is he playing with me!! How can someone like him love me?? We hated each other, right?? We are so different from each other.

"What I said is true, Ace!! I love you!! I can't move or think straight without you!! You are always in my mind every second of every day!! I don't care about anything else besides you!! I was angry at Joong for what he did to you! But mostly, I was mad at myself for not being able to help you when you needed me the most! I want to hurt myself for allowing Joong to hurt you. I don't even think about my studies anymore, which by the way is the only thing important to me before except of course my mom!! Heck! I don't even care if that professor of ours in Accounting dropped me because you didn't show up for our presentation!! I don't care. All I can think about is you!! I want to see you!! I want you by my side. Please tell me if this does not love what it is then!! Please tell me cause I'm confused too." I was stunned upon hearing about what Damon just said to me. I don't know how I should react to this. I don't know what to say

"Damon!! I don't ." He didn't let me finish.

"I'm not rushing you to accept my feeling for you, Ace!! I'm willing to wait until you can finally know what you feel, but I want you to know that I'm willing to wait for you always!! Starting now!! You will be the most important thing in my life ever except for my mom, of course. I will never do anything to hurt you! I know I'm not deserving of you, especially after all the things I did to you but Please remember this. I love you!! And I'm willing to do anything to make you love me too. This is the very first time that I will ever love someone as much as I love you!! You are one of a kind, Ace!! And I know I will never be able to find someone like you so please let me. Please let me show you how much I love and care about you!! Please let me court you!!!" He sounded so sincere. His eyes seem to be telling me that everything that he is speaking right now is True!! He looks so natural, but I don't know. I don't know if I can trust someone like him!! What should I do!! What should I answer him?

Can I take a risk with him?? Can I trust him after all the things that he had done?? Can I.

I just continue to look at him closely and straight in my eyes, trying to find even the slightest thread of a lie.

"Please??" He asked me again. I just continue to look at him before answering him

All I can hear right now is my mom!! He already thought to me what to do in this situation.

"Breath, Son!! Calm yourself and listen!! Listen to whatever your heart is telling you to do!! It will answer all your questions and worries. Just listen to it, and you will know," my mom said.

So I did.

And the only answer that I got is.

"OKAY!!!" I said to him. he looked so happy upon hearing what I said that he instantly hug me. I don't know why but my heartbeat so crazy with him. It is just what my mom describes it to be.

"Thank you!! Thank you so much, Ace!! You don't know how much you made me happy right now!! I will never make you regret letting me court you!! I will try my very best not to disappoint you!!" He sounded so happy while saying this.

He better be! I'm taking a huge risk here. I don't trust him yet, but I'm willing to try. My mind is telling me, but my heart is telling me yes.

My mom will always tell us always to follow our hearts because our hearts will never choose wrong.

I'm just following his lead.

Damon is still hugging so tight. I wasn't answering him back, but my heart and urge are telling me to hug him before, so I slowly did. I was hesitant at first, but I slowly did. I hug him with the same intensity that he is giving me.

He feels so warms and comfortable.

I was so at peace with his warmth!! Is this normal for me to feel this way??

To be continued

A/N

And the courting begins!!! What do you think will happen next.

Did Ace made the right decision or not??

I am trying my best not to be detailed in every scene. I hope I'm still giving this story justice!!
