Chapter Thirty Six

Ariel is shocked, her mouth wide open. She looked around her, unable to believe this was happening.

She walked into the school this morning with a stronger determination to avoid meeting Y.K and to make sure that she does not get involved with him in any way and here she was, standing in front of the class with a bouquet given to her by him and a proposal from him to be his girlfriend.

She was conflicted. She wants to say yes but she knows that her saying yes will affect the peace of their families. They were only friends when his mother insulted and looked down on her family, what would she do if she finds out that they were now dating? She shuddered as she thought of it.

Her brain warns her to say no, to think of her family first but her heart keeps pressuring her to say yes, especially with the way he was staring at her with those eyes. She doesn't want to hurt him, not after accepting the bouquet from him and giving him hope.
