I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

"But first, it’s time for you to confess my beauty," she said as her eyes turned serious. "I want to hear it."

Hinari was determined. She wanted him to say it out loud. Whatever it was that he felt towards her, she needed to hear it with her own ears for her to know what to do next. Hinari didn’t want to expect anything but she was hoping and praying that he would tell her that he loved her too. Butterflies began to fly around in her stomach as she anticipated the words that would leave his mouth.

However, a minute passed by and the man before her still didn’t say a word. He looked like he was stunned but Hinari was starting to feel nervous because of his silence.

Unable to contain her feelings anymore, Hinari snapped.

"Beauty! Did you hear what I said?! Why are you making me wait again? Are you doing this on purpose? Huh?!"

Hinari held Zaki’s collars. It seemed like this lady who patiently waited for almost six years finally lost all her patience.

"Hinari, you really want me to confess right now?" Finally, Zaki spoke but the words that left his mouth made Hinari’s vein to pop, and her grip on his collar tightened.

"Beauty... you... are you really trying to piss me off? Could it be that you’re still not done running away? You still want to continue the chasing game? Huh?!" Hinari was losing her tolerance that she didn’t notice that the man before her seemed to be so anxious about something.

Zaki was actually stupefied. That moment Hinari asked him to confess, he was utterly stunned. Zaki never once thought that one day he would have to confess to her. He was already aware that he was in love with her for a long time now. He knew that what he felt towards her was no doubt the so called love but all this time, he’d been planning to bury his ’I love yous’ along with him to his grave. That was his decision since the day he realized his feelings towards her.

Zaki was so firm and hard on himself that he even forced himself not to fantasize about something that would never happen. However, that night when he watched Davi confessing her feelings to Sei, Zaki imagined himself giving Hinari flowers as he told her he liked her. Of course, it was a thought that he immediately discarded back then. But now that he couldn’t run away from her anymore and now that he couldn’t push her away anymore, he couldn’t believe that he was finally going to be able to say those words to her.

There was a tingling sensation of excitement in Zaki’s heart. But at the same time, he was suddenly feeling anxious. He didn’t know that it wasn’t actually that easy to say those three little words just like that.

Zaki raised his hand and he rubbed the back of his neck. He could see the impatience in Hinari’s eyes but somehow, Zaki wanted to at least make up for all the things he didn’t do for her. He didn’t know why but the scene of Sei and Davi’s romantic confession played inside his mind. Moreover, he was imagining a certain grinning demon inside his head comparing Davi and Sei’s romantic confession scene and their situation right now.

"Hinari... do you think you can wait a little longer? Can you give me one day?"

As soon as those words left Zaki’s mouth, as expected, Hinari pressed her lips tight and invisible puffs of air left her nostrils. She crossed her arms and started tapping her foot impatiently like a mother who was waiting for her child to do as she ordered.

"No! I can’t wait anymore, what if you change your mind and run away again? You have to tell me now beauty. I said, now! C’mon, don’t chicken out and just say it!"

"I’m not going to run away anymore, I assure you. It’s just that," Zaki’s face turned a bit pink as his gaze wandered around. "It’s just that we didn’t even wash our faces yet. Our hair, our clothes, I’m not even wearing slippers... are you sure this is how you want to remember me confessing my feelings to you?"
