Justin said, "Be... I can''t leave you anymore. Not even a minute."


    Be slowly raised her eyes, which were filled with tears.


    Justin quickly wiped her tears, his heart in distress upon seeing her cry.


    "So... You''re saying that the first woman you had a crush on is still me?" Be questioned him further.


    Justin cautiously probed, "Do you want to hear the truth?"


    "Of course."Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    "...No."


    "Justin! You bastard!"


    Be was utterly enraged, raining punches on his chest fiercely. "Why didn''t I see through your true colors earlier? You''re such a yboy! Get lost! Get out of my house and leave Wilma with me!" Justin let her hit him to the extent that his voice trembled when he spoke, but he still said seriously, "Be, the person I love most is you; the person I want to marry is you; the person I want to spend my life protecting is you. Because of this, I want toy my heart bare to you and confess everything about me to you. I don''t want to hide anything."


    Justin took a deep breath and said word by word, "Back then, I was on Kridor''s battlefield, infiltrating a terrorist organization to rescue hostages. There was a girl wearing a white robe and a thick mask who left a deep impression on me."


    Be was stunned, her heart thumping wildly, as if her blood were boiling.


    Even the part of her thumb she lost sense of seemed to tremble slightly.


    "What happened next?"


    "I thought she was a defenseless and fragile medic, but unexpectedly, she knew how to use a gun and was a skilled fighter. I was there to rescue her, but in the end, I was severely injured, relying on her desperate efforts to save my life."


    Justin smiled bitterly, filled with guilt


    and helplessness. "Before that, I thought of myself as a lone hero on the battlefield. Since then, I have not dared to boast about myself. I am only an ordinary man with mortal flesh. It was only with luck that I met my benefactor and managed to survive."


    Be stared at him without blinking, as if her soul had sunk into his deep gaze.


    "Then?"


    "At that time, kwas severely injured. I didn''t know if could make it out alive. I asked that girl to leave me, but she was stubborn like you. She wrapped me in a straw mat and tied me to her shoulders. I was almost unconscious at the time, and she dragged me over a long distance."


    When Justin recounted his experience, his heart felt a slight pang of pain.


    The cruel scenes of war and that girl''s stubborn back were etched into his memory until now. "I was distressed for her... It''s not just distress. I don''t even know what she looks like or what her name is. But I felt something toward her.


    "Be, I can''t lie to you. That was the first time I had a crush on someone. Perhaps it was the bridge effect from us being in a dangerous situation, but I don''t want to lie to you..."


    Before his words fell, Be abruptly


    sealed his thin lips with a passionate kiss. Her soft and sweet mouth


    made his mind go nk. Only an et


    irresistible desire ate away at his remaining sense of rationality, causing him to be intoxicated and unable to pull away.


    After a passionate entanglement, they finally parted as they panted.


    "Be, you..."


    Justin was about to speak, but Be gently pressed his rosy lips with a finger, her eyes shining with a captivating light. "Since that girl saved your life, I''ll forgive you this once. For the rest of our lives, I want your heart to only beat for me."


    Justin let out a sigh of relief, as if he had received amnesty. He stared at her deeply, like there were stars in his eyes. He looked honest and affectionate. "It''s more than that. I''m even willing to die for you dly."
