As Long As I'm Happy

6

As my relationship with Taehyun started, I found myself easily flustered. He seemed to fall into it naturally.

We would go on small dates and he would naturally slip his hand into mine with a soft smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He would send me winks across the room during our shared lectures.

We'd both decided to go for our Masters degrees in physics. We'd gifted our bachelors degrees together already. This was less of a decision about how to move on and recover from everything, and more of a general decision about what would be best for our individual futures. It was just a small bonus that we ended up together.

I would find myself blushing at his cute gestures. At first, I found myself wondering if this is what it would be like if I ended up with Beomgyu. I always shook the thought out of my head. I no longer thought of that. I didn't need any what if's. I could live in the moment and be happy. No crushing sinking weight. No forcing smiles on my face. Just pure, unadulterated happiness.
