A beautiful cabin met us on a plateau somewhere on the side of the peak of the mountain. The side of the mountain was covered with snow while on the plateau, only a small amount of snow is present. This plateau is located at the back of the mountain so it is not visible from the resort. And at the back of this, is the Vron Mountain Range. So this cabin is completely hidden!

Minho tugged the rope, urging me to move forward.

I moved and walked absentmindedly. I was busy admiring the view, the magnificence of the mountain, the serenity of the whole place and then the cabin.

The cabin is a typical one you'd see. A one-storey house made of wooden board. Well, all of it is made up of wood! Except for the glass on the window, but it's still by a negligible amount. But I think there is cement behind the wood, because wood won't withstand the winds up here, unless it has roots embedded deep down the soil.

The surrounding of the cabin are filled with flowers that I don't know existed. But well, I have time to learn about them.

We made our way to the house. Minho let me sit on a rocking chair in the veranda. Wow, this is super clean. How?

"Uh, Minho? How do you keep this place tidy?"

"My employees from the resort. They take turns in cleaning this place every week. Of course, they are greatly compensated."

"Oh. I see."

We remained silent after that, until Minho opened the door. What welcomed me inside was superb.

The cabin's interior was very simple, and yet it touched my heart in ways I don't understand.

At the entrance, there is a coat and shoe rack. The floor is slightly raised so that you will leave your shoes and only wear the slippers intended for indoors. Minho gave me a blue, fluffy bunny slipper, same as his.

Directly in front of the door is a family portrait, on the left side is a floor-length window, overlooking the garden outside.

On the right side is the living room. The fireplace is at the far right, and couches surround it. Lining the walls are bookshelves filled with books.

A hallway, leading to the kitchen and bedroom probably, precedes the whole living room.

"Minho."

"Cassidy. Come over here." He was sitting on a pillow in front of the fire.

When did he get there and "When did you start the fire?"

"A couple of minutes ago. Now, come here and keep yourself warm." It was just then that I noticed Minho has freed me from the rope.

I went over and sat beside him. Hmmmm this feels so good. Subconsciously, I leaned my body to him, pulled my legs up that my chin is touching my knees.

"Well, this is life."

Minho chuckled and draped his arm on my shoulder, casually rubbing his palms on my arms. "Aren't you hungry anymore?"

"Eh I don't know. How does it feel to be hungry?" I laughed and then snuggled close. "Minho, let's put off cooking for awhile. Let's enjoy this moment."

I felt him slightly stiffen. What is this guy thinking?

"Uh Cassidy? What are you planning to do?"

"Sleep of course. Or we could talk about some things."

"Oh okay. Do you like to lie down?"

"No this is good."

"Okay. Wait." He moved the couch nearer, so that our backs can lean on the couch.

"So, baby what do you wanna talk about?"

"Minho. Do you really love me?"

He went silent for some time. Then, "I really don't know how love really feels. But what I know for sure is that I want to be by your side every single second of everyday. I want to be there when you laugh and smile on wonderful moments, and be your shoulder to cry on when you're feeling down."

He looked at me and caressed my cheek. "I want to share my happiness to you. I want to see you when I am sad, most especially when I am happy."

I can't help but feel touched of his confession. Maybe not the straightforward one, but I believe this is so much more than that three words.

"No one has ever made me this happy and contented but you. Just looking at you makes me so happy. And I'm afraid, that I may find myself in a world full of darkness if I lose you."

"Minho.. I-I.. "

"Ssshhh. You don't have to say anything. You know Cassidy, I wanted to give the world to you. I wanted to give myself to you."

"What if I'm a sinful person? Would you still accept me?"

He didn't miss a beat and directly answered, "No matter what you did, I will accept it. Because that's who you are. And I want to be with the whole you."

I sobbed. "Even if it's the very thing you hate?"

"I'll try to cope with it. I'll do my best just to be with you."

"Minho... I-I.. "

"Cassidy, whatever it is that you're trying to say, I'm giving you the freedom to decide when you're going to say it. Okay? No pressure." And he kissed me on the forehead.

I hugged him tight.

We stayed like that for a time. Minho then wiped my tears. "Okay stop crying now. You'll spoil our fun here. Let's make food now."

I nodded and followed him to the kitchen. I watched his back walking away from me.

I was imagining if he would walk away someday, like this, when he knows what I am.

My heart ached.

I realized, I can't bear seeing him walk away from me.

I don't want to see him go.

I want him by my side.

I think, I'm falling.
