Courage

"Would you like to date me, Lilith?"

Her tongue curled back as those words processed inside her thoughts. She didn't know what to reply. Why is everything happening so fast? This is not what she expected.

Her cheeks were not just red but also feeling hot. Lilith felt like she was going to explode right this instant.

"You don't need to give me an answer immediately." Shaun broke her malfunctioning. "I can wait," he added.

A sweet smile grew onto his cheeks. Well, he was also embarrassed, but Shaun needed to say this. The truth is, he already knew. However, whenever he confesses, Lilith will block him immediately.

Where did it all start? When did he realize that he likes her?

It was when he was in his downfall. When everyone was far from his reach. It was the time when he didn't know himself anymore. Lilith was the only one there, she saw him struggle. She gave him hope and another reason to not give up.
