"No... no, you've misunderstood me, how could I possibly do something to hurt you?" In my panic, my explanation was particularly weak.
The man immediately believed my words, his eyes sparkling with a playful laugh, "If you weren't hopelessly in love with me, why would you go to The Abyss to awaken me? Or... did you want to burn yourself to death?"
"I was just bored and wanted to play with fire," I said, embarrassed.
The man stopped me from explaining further, "I get it, you must feel inferior, thinking you're not worthy of me, and frustrated enough to want to harm yourself. So passionate..."
"Huh?" I suspected this guy was still drunk, spouting nothing but nonsense.
As if resigned, the man tilted his head back to soak in the bright moonlight.
He then lowered his head and gave me a peck on the side of my forehead, "A year from now, I'll cherish you. Don't be so insecure."
"..." My mouth twitched uncontrollably, what a huge loss.
