"I'll love you from now on. Will you be my boyfriend?"
My face was burning, but I understood that she and I were not from the same world.
I lowered my head and said nothing.
She became anxious. "Do you still want to die? Hey! Do you look down on me? Or do you think I'm lying?"
Soon, she turned her bright eyes, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted to the traffic, "Luna likes Mateo so so so much!"
I never took her words seriously.
She was just a young girl who took pity on me and tried to save a life.
But I got a reason to live.
But she really treated me as her own and took good care of me.
It wasn't until we grew up that I realized she really liked me.
She begged her parents to break off her engagement to Nolan.
She wanted to be with me.
For this, I knelt with her in front of her parents' house for three days and three nights.
But because I killed my biological father, her parents didn't approve of the match.
...
That night, Luna, who was as beautiful as a rose, was on the verge of withering for the first time.
...
She snuggled in my arms and said, "Mateo, I have no home anymore."
"We will work together, and one day my parents will accept you."
I held her tightly, feeling heartbroken.
