All Chapters of Savage Love: Chapter 271 - Chapter 278

"I love you Aito," Ryu said. "Believe me. I loved you back then and I love you even more now. There's only one person in my heart and that person is you. I deeply regret what I did to you back then and I'm willing to do anything to rectify it. Anything at all. Just give me one more chance Aito. Don't break up with me. Please." Ryu gazed straight into Aito's eyes with utmost seriousness. Aito couldn't deny that Ryu meant what he was saying. Every single word of it. Different memories sprouted in Aito's head. The day Ryu saved him from falling at the site. They rolled down the stairs of the police station together and Ryu protected him with his body. When he paid Ryu a visit at the hospital and thought Ryu was crazy because he hugged him and kept telling him that he loves him. The way Ryu paid special attention to him, knowing all his likes and dislikes, especially in terms of food. The way Ryu fiercely protected him from that scum Yeo-sang and those two men in the alley. It was so

It hurt.It hurt so bad. Ryu felt like his heart was being repeatedly pierced by a million needles. Over and over and over again. His head ached. He felt weak and lifeless. As if his energy and soul were sucked away by a vacuum. He couldn't see anything. He couldn't hear anything. As if the entire world had disappeared before him. He felt as if he was circling in a dark void. Alone. The hand that used to hold him wasn't there anymore. The light that used to make him warm had vanished, leaving him cold and empty.Ryu hadn't felt this way since Aito's death.Although Aito was very much alive, having the thread of their connection severed, he plunged into the same despair he felt that day. This time, only deeper. It is always worse when you taste sweetness for a moment and then you are deprived of it forever. That taste, that feeling, would always remain in your brain, ingrained in your heart, in a way that it would torture you by yearning for it while knowing you could never have

It was just a peek but he saw Aito's gorgeous body. The dusky rose nipples he loved to suck. The flat abdomen with faint sexy ridges that came from practicing volleyball. The lithe waist that led down to-No! He shook his head. Aito wasn't his anymore. No fantasies! "Are you okay?" he heard Aito ask. "Is it too cold? Should I turn off the AC?" Ryu let out a muffled "No." and then kept silent. The AC was fine. It wasn't that cold. "Okay. I'm gonna make you something to eat." Aito said. "Any special request?" Ryu let out another muffled "No". Aito shrugged then went downstairs to prepare a meal. He wondered what was wrong with Ryu though. The things he said outside. What could they possibly mean? Why was Ryu so afraid of him leaving? Why did he have that panic attack? Was it because they broke up? He recalled the relief on Ryu's face when he finally came to his senses. 'Aito...you're alive' he had said. As if he didn't already know it. Aito remembered how crazy Ryu acted back t

Ryu took a deep breath and exhaled heavily then released Aito, scooting back to put some space between them. He stared Aito in the eyes and smiled sadly. "I know I did things you may never be able to forgive me for but I'll wait Aito. I want to believe that you still have feelings for me, no matter how little so, I'll wait. I'll wait for you to heal and call me back. No matter how long it takes."The last sentence reverberated within Aito's mind. 'No matter how long it takes'. It sounded like a promise. He didn't say anything. He couldn't. His chest felt stuffy. The Ryu before him and the Ryu crying in the rain were overlapping and his emotions were surging. Ryu noticed and his features softened. He didn't want to overwhelm Aito so he laughed and ruffled Aito's hair. "Don't think too much okay. Brush your teeth and go to bed. I'll clean up." Aito didn't refuse. He didn't feel like doing anything anyway. It only took a few minutes for Ryu to clean up then they got ready for bed. "
