"Yeri Zhi, I love you." Shin said with great clarity, his dark eyes fixated on her with no pretense, no uncertainty nor hindrances.
Yeri's expression turned perfectly sober, what Shin just spoken turned the overwhelming surrounding into a blur, such forbidden words isn't easy to take in.
"When we first met, you're so beautiful that I couldn't get you out of my head, well, i thought that was it. I love hearing your voice especially when you sound annoyed, I love how your brows knitted, the way your eyelashes flutter and how i see my reflection from your eyes whenever you glared at me, I love your proud and confident demeanor, I love your selfishness and your dumb excuses..." Shin uttered, his eyes gleaming with happiness.
Yeri's blank face gradually changed to annoyance, the damn bipolar, is he really confessing or insulting her?! "what selfish and dumb excuses?! you're so annoying!"
Shin grinned, he leaned in until their noses were only inches apart. "I'm only like this with you, do you know how gorgeous you look now?"
Yeri grimace and tried to break away from Shin, but he quickly hugged her tightly and buried his face into her neck."just remember that I, Shin Keir, is madly in love with you and I am here to stay by your side, always."
Yeri is at a loss for words and her body felt rigid, she couldn't understand what exactly she's feeling, is Shin really serious?
Great! just great! why is history repeating itself? back in hell, she amassed an increasing number of hatred, threats, killing attempts, etc. from all different creatures, just because the demon king fancy her.
In this lifetime, what did she even do to attract this world's dark king? aren't humans supposed to be fickle-minded? Shin can have hundreds of women, why is he sticking to her?
And what is love anyway? how can you tell you're in love? Is her lust towards Shin considered love?
"hey! don't think too much, you don't have to answer me now." Shin shook her out of her reverie, gently stroking her hair.
"Shin, I-"
Shin placed his finger over her lips. "don't think too much, given your IQ-", he cleared his throat seeing Yeri's deadly glare. "I mean your age, it's still impossible for you to understand, we still have many more years of happiness together so just take your time."
Is he belittling her IQ now? and many more years? what happiness? she'll probably die from grievance even before she graduate!
Furthermore, how can she execute her dream of men collections with Shin around? he even went to the extent of locking her up once!
"and don't forget your promise that time, you agreed to stay with me till you find someone you love." he continued, taking advantage of Yeri's confusion.
Yeri nodded, unable to find words to say, she did agree that time since it never occured to her the possibility of Shin falling for her, afterall his a known misogynist. She also thought his possessiveness is simply an attitude common amongst wealthy people and he just see her as his property.
Putting aside the pain and guilt his feeling from the shackles of his confession, Shin tightly closed his eyes and kissed her forehead, he knew she didn't love him but he
will do anything for Yeri to reciprocate his love, even if it means cheating his way just to have her.
He then took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Yeri. "my gift...happy birthday."
Yeri absent-mindedly accepted the box and opened it, the red diamond necklace dangerously glittered like crystalline blood under the dark light. "indeed, this is just like you," she mumbled.
"do you like it?"
"its so pretty, is this expensive?" Yeri hesitated if she should accept it or not, just the room arrangement alone must have cost him a lot, plus his parents will surely question such lavish present.
Shin chuckled and picked up the necklace to put it around her neck. "not really, even your friends can afford it. I also won't mind if you tell your parents its a gift from me."
"are you sure its not expensive?" she frowned but didn't stopped Shin from what his doing, inexplicably, she felt a sudden sense of nostalgia from the necklace.
"hmm, it looks perfect on you." Shin step back twice to have a better view of it around her neck, now his heart is finally closer to hers.
"Thank you." Yeri genuinely smiled, she isn't humble to refused such precious gift, also she really like the necklace.
"when i'm not around that necklace will protect you, so don't ever take it off."

Yeri just gave Shin an exhausted stare, she doesn't want to understand what cliche words the bipolar jerk is spouting now.
"we should head back, I'm sure your parents and the guests is now looking for the birthday celebrant. I don't want you wandering around so someone will guide you back, I'll follow a bit later." Shin wrapped her around his arms and trailed kisses to her ear.
"not yet, you haven't explained why i'm selfish and dumb!" Yeri demanded.
"well...you always complained and tried to kick me out of your dorm, you also lied about not blocking my number and going out at the bar, did you really think i wouldn't find out? isn't that selfish and dumb excuses?"
Yeri: "..."
"regardless, this perfect me, will always love you and will only belong to you! aren't you happy?" Shin proudly boasted.
Damn it! why did she even bother asking? she must be really drunk to think she'll get some sense from the epitome of craziness!
