Confession

[Evelyn and Daniel are sitting at the bus station for half an hour. The bus is going to be late for an hour. So, there's nothing to be done other than waiting. But Evelyn is quite nervous as she is sitting beside Daniel now. Well...she bravely declared that she loves him, so it's complicated for her to be by his side like before. Also, she doesn't know if Daniel also thinks the same way as her. ]

"I should just say that I said that in a fit of rage. "I thought to myself. It's best for now. What if Daniel can't be normal around me anymore? So, I should assure him that I don't feel any love for him. Even if I'm going to say it, but is it true? My heart throbs whenever I think that Daniel will reject me if he realizes that I love him. 'I love him.' Why these three words suddenly feel so warm and safe? It's as if these words are embracing me and the words resemble none other than Daniel .

I looked at Daniel who is staring at the ground, avoiding my gaze. It's awkward since we are not talking. This silence is devouring me! I should say something. Let's start with what I was going to say....

Evelyn- It was a hectic day, wasn't it?

Daniel-Hmmm....

Daniel didn't say anything. It's troubling if he keeps quiet.

Evelyn- I am sorry on behalf of my father. He was rude towards you. I feel ashamed. So, I had to say ....that ... I love you ..to save your image. It didn't have any other meaning other than this. I swear....you ..don't have to feel pressured.

This time Daniel turned to me . He is looking serious. Why are you looking at me with that reaction as if you are angry?? Did I say something wrong? It was good when you weren't looking. Please, I can't talk if you are looking at me.

Evelyn- I am sorry for putting you in an awkward...

[Evelyn couldn't finish talking and Daniel pulled her hand. Evelyn closes her eyes. Next thing she felt was something touching her soft lips. She opens her eyes in surprise and ...she sees ...the one who was kissing her was Daniel. ]

Why? Why is he kissing me? Does he also...

[Evelyn can't think anymore. Let it be like this. She wants it ...wants to be with Daniel. She wants ...to cherish this moment. Evelyn clenched Daniel's shirt. Daniel also pulled her toward him and held her tightly into his arms. Evelyn doesn't know if Daniel is warm or his clothes. But she is feeling the warmth of Daniel somehow. Is this the feeling of love? ]

Daniel freed me from his arm after a while . My body is still in heat , it's burning . Where did he learn to kiss so passionately? Did he ...do this with someone else ?

"Did you kiss someone before?" Evelyn and Daniel both said the same thing at the same time. They are embarrassed now and turned the other side of each other.

"It's my first time."Again the same mistake. But this time they are facing each other. Surprising! The laughed at each other.

Daniel- I saw it on TV the other day. It was a movie and they were kissing each other after saying 'I love you'. It looked good ...too. So, I wanted to try it once. Since you ...love me and ..

Evelyn- Do you also love me?[I didn't let him finish.]

Daniel- I don't know what is love still now. I don't have a heart or brain, so I can't feel it either. But still... I want to stay with you. First I came here to ask you not to leave me and forget me. But now...I don't want to leave you. I was worried about what would you would think if I had said that. But when you said that you love me the most in front of everyone the only thing I could think was I also care for you the most. If it's love then ....let it be.

Evelyn- Dan...

Daniel- I want to spend time with you, cherish you as much as I can and protect you from everyone. But I couldn't say anything to your father. Because whatever he said was true. I am nothing and I'm dependent on you now ... I was...

Evelyn- You know, your presence was everything I wanted at that time. You were there with me. That's why I could confront him. If you are with me then I can do anything. You are the source of my energy. Not only now. Since childhood, you are beside me. More than a friend, more than a family. You are a lot more to me that I ...really can't ...explain. [I smiled at him.]

Daniel- I love you a lot.

Evelyn- [Shocked] I ....love you too. Thanks for coming back to me, Dan....[The words that I wanted to hear most from you. Thank you for saying it. ]

Evelyn leaned on Daniel's shoulder and closed her eyes. Daniel looked at her. Surprisingly he felt that tonight Evelyn looks much more beautiful than before. Just that he is a little stupid for not being able to figure out is it because of the moonlight or ...is it really 'LOVE'???
