Chasing Night Novel Chapter 142: All of You

Chapter 142: All of You

That was the first thing I heard from him causing

to swallow my saliva as I felt nervous. ’What do I do? Should I really leave him alone? But if he’s having a hard ti because of what I said, there’s no way I can just leave him here and let him be alone.’ That is what I thought. He wanted to be alone that ti too, but I stayed by his side.

"Night..." I called for his na as I walked towards him. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No!" He raised his voice which caused

to flinch and stop approaching him. This really reminds

of that mont. I shouldn’t be scared; I know that Night only needs soone to be there for him.

"Please, I don’t want you to see

like this." He pleaded without looking at . "I’ll be fine. I just need more ti so please... Leave."

Despite hearing him pleads, I continued walking toward him and I sat on the bed beside him.

"What are you doing? I said leave ."

I sighed while looking at him. He’s still not showing his face to , and every ti he tells

to leave, I feel like he doesn’t an it. ’What a troubleso guy.’ I pulled him into a hug causing him to stop covering his face.

"You don’t have to talk about it. It’s fine. I’ll just stay here like this with you."

Silence followed that and Night didn’t say anything. "I’m here with you so you can just relax."

I felt Night’s arms wrapping around my waist and he rested his forehead on my shoulder. Hearing his light sobs made

smile as I patted his back. Strong people do need comfort too, and I want to beco his comfort just like this.

It must have been hard for him to take all those information, and he wanted to be left alone because he might be embarrassed about his past.

"None of those things were your fault." The warmth from his body made

feel comfortable even though I should be the one comforting him.

"Aziel must have hated

since he already knows about those."

That’s what confused . Aziel said that he doesn’t hate Night, but he acts differently. "I don’t know how he truly feels towards you, but he didn’t sound like he hates you." This might sound like I’m only comforting him through words, but that’s what I really thought.

Aziel likes pissing Night off, but he didn’t look like he despised Night. It was more of a friendly teasing.

"Then why does he keeps getting in between us?"

I grimaced hearing that. Maybe, the one Aziel hates is . "I don’t know either. Maybe he enjoys teasing people." Even though he goes overboard most of the ti.

Silence enveloped us again and I closed my eyes while just hugging Night. I feel safe whenever I’m with him, I hope he feels the sa too, but I’m not soone that can protect him. ’I can’t even protect myself.’

Being with him like this made

rember the ti when I was still chasing after him. I imagined hugging him lots of tis, and I feel flustered every ti.

We stayed like that for a while, and it didn’t even matter how ti passed by. Being with him like this already makes my heart feel bliss.

"Does Aziel know every detail about what happened that ti?

I pulled away from the hug and looked at him. There were still tears visible in his eyes. "I actually don’t know," I said as I wiped his tears.

Night has this sheepish smile as he avoided my gaze. "I’m sorry." He said as he sighed. ’Why is he apologizing?’ That is what I thought as I expected him to keep it a secret. "I didn’t want you to know about what happened before. I’m so la. I even cried in front of you."

Seeing him letting his weakness show makes

love him more. "Why? Do you think that I’ll hate you if I learned of your secret?"

Night looked at my hand that he was holding as he nodded. "You’ll see the monster that I was." He stopped after saying that. "No, I still am that monster. I didn’t change at all. All the sins I’ve made... won’t vanish just because I avoid doing bad things anymore. It doesn’t make

less bad than I actually am."

I couldn’t say anything as I looked at his hands. "That might be true. You might still be that monster you loathe, but all those things are in the past now."

I’m well aware that we can’t just set aside Night’s wrongdoings, but that doesn’t an they should keep haunting him till he dies.

"People change. And if you start admitting to the mistakes you did before, you’re becoming better. You are changing, and so do I. We all might still have monsters within us, but we suppress them by doing more good things."

I smiled at him. "You can make ands."

Night gently pulled my hand and placed it on his cheek. "Am I allowed to look forward to living till I die despite being a man full of sins?"

I chuckled. "What’s with that? Of course, you can."

"I’m sorry... not only for how I treated you but also for being an most of the ti."

Hearing him apologize made my heart feel light and warm.

I smiled my brightest smile. "I already forgave you. I am willing to accept all of you, so those things don’t matter now." Even though I was reluctant before, I know that Night is changing and he is changing for the better.

"Let’s both grow and be happier from now on."

I lay on the bed and pulled Night beside . "Lying side by side like this makes

feel cozy." I looked at him. "Don’t you feel the sa?"

Night was staring at my face with a soft smile. "I love you." He said catching

off-guard which made

get up.

’T-That surprised . My heart won’t calm down.’

I felt Night hugging

from behind and resting his chin on my shoulder. "I should have told you lots of tis how much I love you." He said right onto my ear, tickling

and making

feel that tingling sensation in my stomach again.

"I don’t know how to live without you anymore. What if you grew tired of

and leave ? What if I go mad after that? I’ll beco a monster again."

Hearing those words almost made

cry.

I grabbed his hands and turned to face him. "Who would leave who?" Seeing his face like this made

feel relieved. "Why would I leave you when all I’ve been dreaming about was to be with you?"

Night’s face quickly turned red. ’He’s embarrassed hearing that even though he just said that he can’t live without ?’ He covered his mouth with his hand and averted his gaze.

"I never felt like this before. These feelings are new to , so please wait a bit." Night said while trying to gain his composure back but I giggled and sat on his lap, forcing him to look at .

"Neither am I," I said as I hold his hand. "We’re both going to figure things out at our own pace." I intertwined our fingers and looked him in the eye.

"W-Why are you acting cute?"

His face was redder than before and this ti, he rested his head on my shoulder again. "Am I cute?"

"You are. The cutest thing I’ve ever seen." He muttered enough for

to hear. "If this keeps up, I might do sothing criminals would do." I was taken aback after hearing that.

"Like what?"

Night looked at

with deadpan eyes. "Lock you up so that no one else will see your cuteness." He said with a serious tone causing

to laugh. ’Is he serious?’

"You wouldn’t do sothing like that." Wouldn’t he?

Night smiled and kissed my cheek. "I wouldn’t. If I did, it’ll make you unhappy." He said.

’Then, if it’s fine with , he’ll really do it?’ I shook my head at that thought. Who in their right mind would accept being locked up like that?

"Noelle’s adorable, no wonder people are flocking around you. Even pests."

I felt the annoyance in his voice with the last word he said. "What’s with that?" I chuckled but I stopped after Night looked at

again.

"May I kiss you?" He asked. ’It’s awkward that he’s formally asking that before doing it.’

I nodded, and that’s when I felt his arm wrapping around my waist, while his left hand touched my chin. My heart was beating louder than ever as I closed my eyes. Night started kissing

softly and I couldn’t resist as I sat to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Don’t you know that you’re being quite aggressive?" Night said in between our kisses.

I grinned. "You like it though."

When I felt his grip on my waist tighten, it made

sit straight causing Night to chuckle. "I love everything you do." He said and continued kissing . "I love you." Night whispered into my ear and started kissing my neck, making

let out weird noises.

"Ah." He stopped all of a sudden and made

blink lots of tis.

"What is it?"

Night started sweating as he avoided my gaze. "I have another confession to make." He said while looking uncomfortable. ’What’s making him look like that?’

"Tell ."

Night gulped and scratched his right cheek. "Actually, the whole school..."
