Mistakes ✔

End

Everything came flashing to my mind as I saw him, my Joong walking towards us with the same boy whose name I just found out to be Dome.

He was looking straight at me while his hand was resting on Dome's waist. Why? Have I not had enough already? Why again? I questioned myself diverting my gaze from them.

"Nine " Pavel called me to get my attention.

"This is my best friend Dome" he said pointing to the boy who greeted me instantly. I greeted him back.

"And this is Joong, Dome's hubby." he said teasing them and got a smack from Dome.

I greeted Joong still trying to act nonchalant but he didn't greet me back instead his eyes were fixed to my face just like that day, years ago, when I had saved him.

"And Dome and Joong- this is my friend Dr. Nine Kornchid Boonsathitpakdee." Pavel introduced me and I faked a smile at them.

"You didn't change at all." Joong commented looking at me. This was getting out of control. With his every word I could feel fresh stabs in my heart.

"Pavel I'm not feeling well. I wanna go home please." I said to Pavel who was looking at Joong confused trying to understand. He nodded at me and walked forward leading us to his car.

Pavel was driving and I was sitting beside him while Joong and Dome were sitting at the back. Dome and Pavel were discussing something when suddenly Pavel threw a question at Joong.

"Joong earlier you said that Nine didn't change. How? Did you two know each other?" And I started to panic thinking about what he will say.

"Yes." Joong replied casually

"Ohh I didn't knew that. How did you know each other?" Pavel fired again.

"We-" Joong started but I didn't let him finish. It was enough.

"Pavel please stop the car" I commanded. He obeyed.

"Why Nine is-" I didn't let him finish either. As soon as the car stopped i jumped out.

"Don't worry about me I'll go home myself. I need to go to the hospital right now." I said and ran away without letting them reply.

Okay if I'm a coward. Okay if I can only run away from problems instead of facing them. But it is easier to run away now than to face joong. I thought as I ran to the reception. Earth was my only hope now.

"Can you please tell me where is Earth now?" I asked the receptionist.

"Earth doesn't have a shift today so he is not here. What happened Nine? Why do you look so worried?" She asked me.

"Nothing. I'm fine. Okay I'll go to his house then." I said to her before running away again. I had to go to Earth's house.

"How many times do I need to run away? I'm tired" I told myself as I felt so weak.

"Then why don't you stop?" His voice made me stop at my place. My instincts were telling me to turn around and hug him tightly and never let him go. No I can't. He has a boyfriend now . He is not my Joong anymore. I thought and this time I couldn't stop myself. My heart felt so heavy pushing me down until my knees touched the ground. He also kneeled infront of me and suddenly hugged me tightly.

That's it. I broke down completely. I sobbed in his chest while my nails dug in his shoulder blades in an attempt to stop myself. Everything washed out with the tears.I didn't realise how long I cried or how long we were in that position. My sobs stopped once I was drained out of all my energy, all my strength.

I leaned back slightly rubbing my eyes. I couldn't even look up at him. I was so embarrassed. He was not my boyfriend anymore....Well he never was.We sat silently for sometime and when I finally looked up to see him his eyes were also wet. He was also crying. But why?

"I came here to only find some answers and also to clear somethings up." He spoke firmly as if trying to control something.

"Why did you leave? I know you already mentioned it in that stupid goodbye letter but I want to know the reason from your mouth." He demanded. I was helpless. I had to face him.

"That day when I heard you saying to him that he is your first love I thought that maybe you will tell me. But you never told me. How could I still not leave after knowing that I was the one separating both of you?" I asked back.

"And you won't ask? You know his position in my life but aren't you curious about yours?" He asked softly this time. I looked down couldn't meet his eyes. He pulled my chin up with his finger so that he could see my face.

"Yes he was my first love and I was worried about him when I heard about his accident. Yes he is my first priority. Yes I care for him a lot." He continued while fresh tears rolled down my cheeks. Maybe that is why I never wanted to confront him since I knew that I would be hurt either way.

"But you are my life. You are not the first but you are the last as I can never look at anyone else after you. You are my entire existence. I'm sorry I couldn't express my feelings openly to you. I don't know whether you already have someone in your life or whether you are really dating that Pavel or not. But please Nine please don't leave me again. I won't be able to live without you now. I won't be able to afford if you run away again." He broke down. It was new. This side of him was new to me. I let him cry his heart out. We were both hurting we needed this.

After he looked a bit calm I held his face in my hands.

"I'm not dating anyone nor can I think of doing so. My heart already belongs to someone." I whispered to him.

"Who?" He asked a bit hurt.

"My Mr. Handsome." I said and gave him a quick peck on his lips. He looked at me a bit shocked but then smirked and pulled me in a bear tight hug as if trying to cage me there forever.

"Hey punk leave me. I'm affraid you'll choke me to death. Leave me you bear." I complained.

"Bear?!" He replied chuckling but anyway loosened the hug.

But instantly pulled me into a kiss. I missed this- his lips, his smell, his taste. I kissed him back but pulled out quickly. I smiled at him still trying to understand if it was a dream or real. My heart was jumping in happiness.

He leaned and whispered in my ears. "Let's go home. I'm very angry that you let that Pavel even touch you. I wanna mark you mine and show him who you belong to."
And I instantly smacked his head blushing hard.

"Yeesh! You pervert! It was my mistake that I let you kiss me in the first place." I whined. He rubbed his head the part that I had hit.

"It was your mistake that you fell for me." Joong said smirking.

"Naah. My mistake was to save you that day." I said smiling at him.
