The Reunion After Seven Years

"What are you doing here?"

When Nicole saw that Kerr had walked out in the rain, she asked quietly, but he didn't answer her question.

He took off his suit jacket and put it on her. Then he picked her up and quickly carried her into his car.

He brought out a dry towel from the compartment and carefully wiped Nicole's wet hair, ignoring his own, which was also soaked from the rain.

"What's wrong with you? It's pouring really hard. Why are you even here?"

Although Kerr didn't say a word since she began to ask, she knew her feeling wasn't wrong and he did look a little different from usual.

When he heard the last question, Kerr wrapped her up with the bath towel and adjusted the temperature in the car before he spoke to her softly.

"I missed you."

Since he left the Gu's ancestral home, he had been missing Nicole like crazy, as if only the sight of Nicole could bring him a little comfort.

"What happened?"

She handed Kerr a new towel to let him dry his hair, and looked at him with concern.

Looking at Nicole, Kerr pulled her into his arms and breathed in, her scent engulfing his senses. He felt like he had owned the whole world.

"Nicole, if I can give you whatever you want, will you stay with me? If I make you my one and only? If I said I've fallen in love with you?"

For the first time, he wanted someone to know how he felt.
