In the nighttime, Anasui and Jolyne are getting ready for bed. Jolyne has something to tell Anasui. She doesn’t know what he’ll say, but she doubts herself if she deserves Anasui or not. Both she and Anasui are in bed, and before Anasui can kiss her goodnight, she asks.
“Hey, Anasui?” Jolyne said, her eyes glancing at his. “Yes, my love? What’s the matter?” Anasui asked, questioning what she was going to do. “Well, this has been on my mind for a while, and I’m starting to question it more….” He looked at her, confused. “What is it, love?” Jolyne started shaking, and her eyes stared at him more with sadness. “Why choose me?”
“What do you mean, Jolyne?” Anasui was questioning how Jolyne thought of this. Did he do something wrong? “Well, why bother to put in the effort to me? Why bother trying to love me even though sometimes I act like crap? Why Anasui?” Jolyne roared. Anasui had no words whatsoever, he always loved Jolyne with all his heart, and he would give his life to make her happy.
Silence filled in the room as Jolyne started tearing up. Anasui knew that Jolyne lived a hard life, her father wasn’t around, and it was just her and her mother. When Anasui came to Jolyne, he loved her at first sight, doing anything for her and her alone. She would sometimes question these things that he’d do for fun, but now, it was intense.
He was going to speak out something till Jolyne broke the silence. “Why choose me, Anasui?” She shouted, her voice trembling as her eyes looked at him. “It’s because I love you.” He said. Her eyes, looking at him, puzzled. “Jolyne, I’ve loved you since we met, when we hugged, kissed, and went out. Nothing could stop me from loving you.” He said softly, his voice soothing Jolyne as she kept glancing. Jolyne was about to speak until Anasui said, “Jolyne, you’re my light, my reason for living. You’re someone that I’m happy to see every day regardless of mood. You’re always my hope. Your determination and everything about you make me love you more every day. It’s why I do the things I do. Never in my life have I met someone so beautiful and so lovely As you. No one Jolyne.”
Once Anasui said that, quietness filled the air once again, and instead of Jolyne just tearing up, she went full-on crying and hugged Anasui. Anasui then said, “You’re strong, Jolyne, powerful. You’ve fought battles, and I’m proud of you for that, know that I chose you because I love you, Jolyne, and I mean it.” Jolyne then looked up at Anasui and spoke, “Thank you, Anasui. It’s just. Lately, I’ve been questioning why you do the things you do. I know I’m not special at anything, and you do so much... I sometimes question if I deserve you.”
”Jolyne, you’re special to me. I love you, too, if you ever need to cry out. By all means, do it to me. And Jolyne, I’m grateful for being with you.” He uttered. Jolyne’s eyes lit up, and she kissed Anasui. “Alright, Anasui, now let’s get to bed.” She muttered. “Yeah, yeah, we should. Goodnight, Jolyne.” He kissed Jolyne on the cheek and slept with her.
