Understanding

Finally, I managed to say everything that I needed to say. I finally told him everything that really happened that day. What happens from now will be up to Ren.

“Let go of me…” Ren said softly as he tugged on my arms.

Slowly, I let go of him and he turned around to face me. Before I could say anything more, Ren pulled me into a tight hug. His arms hugged me tightly to him as his large hand cradled the back of my head, pushing my head against his chest. I started sobbing softly into his embrace as he continued to hold me.

“Rin…I’m sorry,” Ren whispered softly as he stroked my back comfortingly.

I blinked in surprise. Did Ren just apologize to me? This is probably the first time that he properly apologized to me. No, this is probably the first time I have ever heard Ren apologize. I stood there stunned at his sudden apology. The crown prince just apologized to me. To be honest, I was more shocked than happy at that moment.

“Ren…” I whispered his name.
