Iskandar looked surprised when he heard my response earlier, but he quickly switched his expression into a smile and patted my head again.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Perhaps that's the reason I want to meet you so bad during these years."
"If you really want to meet me so bad, then why don't you find me as soon as you realized your feelings?"
"Hmm... Perhaps it's because I was too scared to do it, I guess?"
"Too scared?"
"I know that you might think of me as a coward–"
"No, I don't think that–"
"I know, you wouldn't think of me in that way. And I hope you don't mind if I ask you to give me another chance."
"Another chance? For what?"
"For what I'm going to do with you next."
After answering my question, he suddenly leaned his face closer to mine before he kissed me on the lips.
He kept kissing my trembling lips without any intention of letting go of me or pushing me away.
