"Eunji... please trust that my feelings for you are genuine and true. Honestly, I never thought I would feel this feeling ever again for quite some time now. Yes, I'm guilty for playing with other women's emotion. I was proud of that in the past but seeing you having doubts on my sincerity towards you made me want to turn back time and change everything that I have done."

Regret did come at the end but Nathan felt like it's not the end for him. It's not the end for them.

"If you want a solid proof of my love for you, then…Kim Eunji… let's get married."

"You got to be kidding me..." Kim Eunji mumbled.

"No I'm not." Nathan firmly said.

"If marriage would erase your doubts then let's do it. I have no plans on letting you go. I just can't leave a day without you by my side." Nathan confessed.

"Nathan, do consider my feelings, too. Marriage? You don't even know me yet." Kim Eunji emphasized as she felt helpless.

"Then let's get married now and get to know each other later. We could do that."

Kim Eunji was speechless.

She never expect to receive a casual proposal from him. Therefore, shock was an understatement to describe what she felt.

Seeing Kim Eunji's reaction, Nathan was at a loss.

"Please give it a thought. Let's talk about this when you're ready." At the end, Nathan had to step back in order for him to take two steps forward with her.

He already established his intentions for her. He hoped that someone would enlighten Kim Eunji and she would make the right decision in the end.

"Let's go. Your fever might come back if we'll stay here any longer." Nathan invited.

Kim Eunji nodded her head and was about to follow him behind. However, Nathan had another plan in mind.

Nathan suddenly dropped down on his knees and said, "Hop on." He knew it was less romantic but that's all he could do since his arm was still injured.

Kim Eunji hesitated at first but then pursed her lips when he looked back at her with a questioning look.

How could she dare to refuse such offer from this handsome man?

Nathan's lips curved up in a beautiful arc when he felt Kim Eunji's body behind his back.

"Hold tight." He reminded her as he stood up and started walking. Kim Eunji wrapped her arms around his neck and lean towards Nathan's body.

"Are you comfortable back there?" Nathan asked as he wanted to make sure the woman he loved to be in great comfort around him.

"I am." She said almost in a whisper.

Nathan blushed as soon as he felt Kim Eunji's healthy chest on his back. His ears suddenly turned red and he was hoping that Kim Eunji would not notice that.

Sadly, she did and even asked him if he's okay.

"Are you okay? Am I that heavy that you have to exert so much effort just to carry me?"

Though Kim Eunji's asked him an innocent question, Nathan felt like there's a tone of teasing underneath it, too.

"You're not. Not heavy at all. It's just that my body just reacted weirdly when you're around." He answered honestly.

Kim Eunji then suddenly remembered their awkward position when she woke up earlier. She was sure that she was sleeping while straddling him. And she could feel his morning wood underneath her thin pajamas, too. Worse, Rin and Hiro witnessed that. Good thing she had not seen Hiro nor Rin earlier after that or else, she didn't know how to face the two.

The thought made her blush heavily. She tried to brush it off her head but in no avail, she failed. She was glad that Nathan was not looking at her or else the man would definitely tease her.

Her body did not resent the idea of him being close to her. Which was already a surprise for her as she never let herself to be get closed to men. Well, of course there will always be a few exemptions to that.

And when he passionately kissed her the other day and even today, she was surprised that her body melted on his warmth. She could feel his genuine feelings for her in his hug and his kisses.

Clearly, she already had feelings for him. Nathan was someone who's not hard to fall in love with especially when he was so good to her. She wondered when did this feeling started.

'Is this what they mean when they said the mind forgets but the heart remembers?'

She wondered if she already had feelings for him before she lost her memories.

"Is there something wrong?" Nathan's voice echoed that broke her off from her chain of thoughts.

"Nothing's wrong. I just found the setting so pleasant."

"Is that so?" Nathan asked as he took his time walking back to the manor.

"Yeah..."

Pleasant silence.

"Nathan, can I take a photo of you?" Kim Eunji sincerely asked.

Nathan did not hesitate and grant her wish.

"Sure. Wait a sec." He then dropped on his knees to let Kim Eunji hopped off his back.

"Where do you want me to stand?" He asked her.

"There. I wanted you to stand there." Kim Eunji pointed on the tall wall which was covered with vines.

Nathan then posed for her. Using her phone, Kim Eunji snapped a few photos of him. Kim Eunji then stared at his bluish green eyes which little by little, became her most favorite features of him.

Kim Eunji made sure to capture every angle of him. Even his simple gesture of shifting his weight on his legs.

Nathan found it adorable to see her seriously snapping photos of him. He could still remember how professional and passionate she was in her craft when he met her as EL. He found this side of her admirable.

He chuckled when he caught her stealing glances of him.

"Turn around! You're making things difficult for me." Kim Eunji complained.

"Why and in what way?"

"You're so handsome. I found it distracting." Kim Eunji admitted. There's no way that she would lie about it to him.

"You're so adorable Miss Kim. Do you know that?"

Kim Eunji could feel her face from heating up and she looked down to hide it.

"Damn this man!" Kim Eunji snorted.

"What is it love?" Though he clearly heard her cursing him... Nathan did not mind it at all and he instead wanted to tease her more but decided not to when he saw Kim Eunji's cute pouting face.

He slowly walked towards her and took away her phone off her hand as he said.

"You've been taking photos of me but we never had photos together. Can we take it now?" Kim Eunji wanted to protest.

Nathan saw this discomfort in her eyes and he tried her best to comfort her.

"If you want to hide our relationship to the world, we could...for now...until you're ready."

"Isn't it unfair to you?" Kim Eunji asked him.

"No...not at all. Your happiness is my happiness." Nathan confessed which made Kim Eunji to melt.

"Alright. You win." Kim Eunji gave up the thought of stopping the man.

Nathan then enveloped Kim Eunji in his embrace as if he wanted her to merge with his body.

Kim Eunji let him be and started snapping photos of them.

"They're beautiful."

Kim Eunji praised after she scanned the images on her phone screen.

What amazed her was the feeling that the photos made her feel just by looking at them. LOVE

That love was so pure...so innocent and genuine. It was beautiful as it was still fresh and young.

But soon this feeling will be tested countless of times in the future.

"Indeed they are." Nathan agreed with her.

Nathan asked Kim Eunji if he could have a copy of them. Kim Eunji did not hesitate to let him have it as she won't be able to produce these photos without him.

Nathan then chose one photo and set it as his wallpaper.

"Perfect."

The photo showed an image of Kim Eunji leaning against his chest as he placed a gentle kiss on top of her head.

Kim Eunji on the other hand chose a photo of his and her hand intertwined together.

She could not help but wonder how her small hand perfectly fit with his big palm.

She was intently looking at it when Nathan suddenly spoke.

"If you're willing. I'll put a ring on that beautiful finger of yours."

"Nathan!" Kim Eunji glared at him.

"Alright... I'll stop." Nathan then chuckled after he said that.

Kim Eunji felt like she might change her mind and agreed to marry him immediately if the man would not stop talking about marrying her.

She wanted to give it a thought first. She might seek help from Kelly about this matter.

Nathan then intently looked at Kim Eunji as he said,

"I love you. And I just can't stop thinking about spending the rest of my life with you... I'm sorry. I got carried away." He sincerely apologized.

"I like you too." Kim Eunji confessed.

"Yo-u do?" Nathan asked in disbelief.

"Yea...but give me some time. I promise, I won't take long." Kim Eunji promised.

Nathan was happy and contented with her answer. He could not contain his happiness that he claimed her lips with his.

Kim Eunji did not resist but give in. Nathan smiled in between their kiss as he felt like she was not lying at all.

His hand then roam around Kim Eunji's back and reached the area of her butt and gently squeezed them.

"Mm." Kim Eunji gasped as she was caught off guard. Nathan took the opportunity to insert his tongue into her mouth and explored very corners of her sweet mouth.

He would never get enough of her sweet taste. He wondered why she tasted like strawberry every time he kissed her.

"Mm." A moan escaped in Kim Eunji's lips which made her gasp in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Nathan stopped from Kissing as soon as she stopped responding.

"Nothing... I was just surprised." Kim Eunji honestly answered. Her honesty and frankness never failed to amuse him. And he loved that about her.

Nathan chuckled and pecked her lips one more time and then took her hand as they walked towards the manor with their hands linked together.
