“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.
“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.
“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.
The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…
Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her.
It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.
In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.
He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.
Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.
Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.
But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.
Their driver sighed to himself while he witnessed the two of them in their own world.
A romance like this was the most precious thing in youth. It would be a sweet memory one would always look back fondly.
“Leon, I will grow. I won’t be someone you need to protect all the time. I’ll work hard and get better… I’ll become someone deserving of you,” Hannah vowed resolutely.
“Alright. Let’s grow together, Hannah. I’ll stay by your side, always. We’ll never leave each other,” Leon replied.
“Okay…”
***
Five years later.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, summer had arrived once more.
The scorching sun graced everyone with warmth.
Every screen on all the buildings in Atlantis displayed footage of Leon and Hannah together.
