[ Even though she said this, even though Lapis confident and sure about her feelings, she can't help but feel... a little nervous about his reaction. At the very least, she wanted him to know this. She's pretty sure it would have been impossible to hold back, after this.

But that smile tells her everything she needs to know - her breath leaving her in an almost bashful chuckle, before she finds herself pull into his arms. The kiss is one she returns eagerly, and she can't be sure if the dizziness is from needing air when it lingers or just the surge of emotions rushing through her. She loves him, she is completely and utterly in love with him, and she was finally able to say it. To let the most important person in her life know how much he means to her.

For such a long time, she thought something... someone like her didn't deserve this. To feel anything like this. But Jinwoo has proven her wrong each and every time, and she couldn't be more grateful. There will never be a day that goes by, where she doesn't think about how he made her life better by simply being by her side.

She takes a moment to catch her breath when he pulls back, eyes focused on his. And at his request, she can't help but chuckle again - hand reaching to rest on his cheek, as she gives him that adoring smile once more. ]

I love you, Jinwoo. I'll say it as many times as you want. [ Over and over and over again, because she knows she'll never get tired of saying it. Her words are a little breathless still, but still warm and genuine as she keeps expressing her feelings for him. ]

I love you so much... I love you more than anything else.
