[ While she had been enamoured with how the light caught the little specs of dust, the sound of his chuckle is more than enough to divert her attention. And it's the look on his face that takes her breath away all over again, warmth spreading from her chest and burning along her cheeks.

Oh, this is bad. Lapis doesn't get shy, but what he says and how he looks at her... It makes her shoulders hunch, smile becoming so absolutely fond even as she glances away for a moment. ]

You... Saying stuff like that is unfair. [ But she manages to bring her eyes back to him, ignoring how her heart races as she reaches over to flick his hair playfully. Her fingers then drift further down, brushing against his cheek - a certain word lingers on the tip of her tongue now, and she finds it harder to brush it aside, to tell herself it's not the right moment. ]

... I know I keep saying this, but I really am so lucky to be with you. [ But it's so hard to deny it now. How can she, after this gift and how he looks at her?

She lets out a shaky breath, willing herself to not tear up again. Instead she smiles at him once more, warm and loving and something just for him. For how much she suppresses her feelings, she can never hide how much she cares for - loves - this man. ]

I love you, Jinwoo. I really do love you so much...
