Girl In The Winter's

Chapter 30

The round-eyed girl walked down the courtyard of Busan University where she was going to study. Her now brown hair was ponytailed just like a few strands of hair out of her ties, wearing faded blue jeans, a short-sleeved white shirt, a gray scarf wrapped around her neck, and a pair of hair-pins, brown leather backpack on his back, do not forget the earphones that always faithfully accompany a sweet perch in both ears make him look like a first-rate student rather than a medical student who is specializing.

With that simple appearance he has attracted the attention of some students there, he just faced the secretariat to compile a lecture schedule that will be undertaken starting next week. He continued walking regardless of the curious gaze that left him until someone finally blocked his path.

Ayumi raised her head to see who dared to block her path but her chest instantly beat fast as her round eyes looked at the owner of the sharp black eyes.

"Oh no longer," lamented Ayumi as she stared lazily at Erik who stood looming before her, "Don't tell me you're a lecturer here," Ayumi continued, shaking her head.

But unfortunately Ayumi's guess was correct, "I'm a lecturer here."

"Oh my God, there is only UBC and the University of Busan!" Ayumi exclaimed as she walked away leaving Erik following her from behind.

"Iris, we need to talk!" Erik said as he walked quickly offset Ayumi who also walked quickly trying to get away from the man.

"There's nothing more to talk about, and don't call me, by that name again." Ayumi turned to look at Erik with menacing eyes.

"Of course we have something to talk about... Irises... Ayumy! Stop that!" Erik yelled as he watched the girl continue to walk quickly leaving her standing alone in front of the parking lot and his shout was successful making him the center of attention, while the girl he shouted at even faster moving her legs away.

Erik got into his black sports car starting to catch up with Ayumi who was walking towards the bus stop, without a second thought he stopped his vehicle and went out to pull the rebellious girl into his car and without regard for the cries of Ayumi's protest, he said, Erik stepped on the gas his car deep and shot across the streets of Busan city.

The man did not heed all the yelling and the meaning of Ayumi who asked him to stop, his Audi car proved his speed in running through the streets, until finally the vehicle stopped at Songjeong Beach, white sandy beach near Dalmaji hill, east of Haeundae area.

Ayumi immediately came down with a pouting face, she grumbled using Indonesian which of course did not understand Erik who also started to get out of the car and follow the girl.

"Ayumi, wait a minute.we really have to talk!"

"Other thing to talk about? It's all done."

"Please stop!" Erik exclaimed without stopping his steps to catch up to Ayumi who was walking quickly down the white sandy beach that seemed quiet that afternoon.

"I'm sorry!" Shouted Erik who immediately stopped Ayumi's steps, "I was wrong. I admitted wrong. I'm really sorry," he continued desperately, the regret he felt from yesterday had completely gnawed at his soul, plus the scene between the girl and Lee Soo Hyuk on the rooftop yesterday afternoon had actually killed him, because after all that girl is always residing in his heart.

Ayumi turned her body towards Erik who was standing a few meters in front of her, "Why are you apologizing to me? Aren't you sure about what you were thinking yesterday?" He said as he continued to look into the sharp eyes of the man who now looked sad.

"You're right, I'm only going to be the most selfish person when I only believe what I want to believe.. and I'm really selfish when I just assume that I'm the right one without asking for your explanation first."

"Isn't it too late to ask for an explanation?"

"No. I will not ask for any more explanation from you. everything is clear and. I was wrong because I did not believe you," he said.

"So what do you want?" Ayumi tried not to be affected by the regret that Erik showed.

"I just want you to forgive me. Forgive all my stupidity and selfishness all this time," Erik said in a soft voice that made Ayumi start to waver a little, his heart trembled when he saw the sincerity from the look in the man's eyes.

"Well... I forgive you.. Is that enough?"

Erik was speechless at Ayumi's cold statement, of course he knew the girl would not be that easy to forgive him after what he had done.

"Now, go away.leave me alone." Ayumi turned her body and walked back to leave Erik who was still sculpting.

"I love you!" Erik shouted between the waves and the whirling sea breeze that made the girl in front of him stop stepping, "I still love you, love you so much," he continued as he walked closer to Ayumi who was staring at the expression of the feeling of the man who had hurt her.

Ayumi stood motionless, her heart racing as if betraying herself who wanted to behave normally hearing the man's confession of love. The spring sea breeze hit her body that was only wearing a thin shirt top, although spring but the air temperature below ten degrees was enough to make the girl start to feel the cold running through her body. And the moment was not wasted by Erik, he immediately opened his jacket and put it on Ayumi's shoulder which of course initially refused but this time Erik did not want to accept rejection.

"For God's sake, Iris! You're freezing!"

"Don't call me that again!"

"Alright, but please wear the jacket, don't be stubborn."

Ayumi finally gave up, she let the man put on his red jacket. For God's sake, not because stubborn he refused to wear the man's jacket, but afraid.

They are now facing each other with a distance of one breath. Erik's hand still holds the tip of his jacket that is now worn by Ayumi, both of their eyes are equally closed to enjoy the moment of togetherness they dream of, the two inhaled the fragrance of each other's bodies trying to fill their lungs with the fragrance they longed for.

Ayumi's clenched hands tried to refrain from dropping into the arms of the man who was still filling her heart. So does Erik who is still gripping the tip of his jacket firmly until his fingers turn white. For God's sake, he is eager to pull the girl into his arms as he has dreamed so far, but his hand seemed powerless through the invisible wall that separated the two of them.

Unable to hold back any longer slowly Erik's head drew closer, he clung his forehead to Ayumi's forehead which still closed his eyes tightly, their hunting breath tried to resist the lust that ran through the entire bone made their legs slightly wobbly like powerless to hold their weight.

Erik slowly began to clench his lips with Ayumi's red lips, he grew bolder as his misty eyes stared at Ayumi who was still closed. She could already feel the girl's warm breath on her lips as Ayumi's palm held her chest.
