[ Of butterflies and warning signs- if I wasn't obessesed with a perfection that doesn't exist]

❝BUTTERFLIES are warning signs when they're for someone you can't have.❞

This was something Doyoung had grown to understand, and relate with. Being the first guy on everybody's contact list and yet never actually being able to be the first in their priority list had given Doyoung lots of wisdom. Once upon a time, he used to be a lovestruck fool too, not aware of the acts of infidelity happening on the other side of the phone.

Now he is the one smirking down at the lovers of his lovers, knowing full well that the sweet nothings they were being told were only lies to cover up the sinful acts of temptation - the consequences of loneliness and being neglected in a relationship - that was taking place right under the clueless lovers' noses.

Doyoung was fine with being the other guy, the rebound, the one that warmed the empty sheets on lonely nights, the replacement. He didn't take it to heart. For him, it was just no-string-attached sex. He wasn't in love or anything, he was just good at fooling people to believe he was in love with them, to the point that they were willing to risk their relationships for him.

Yes, Doyoung had never fit in, he was the outcast, the misfit, the neglected son. But that doesn't mean he wasn't desired.

As long as feelings didn't get involved, Doyoung was fine with playing along. A part of him actually enjoyed it all to a great extent. It wasn't doing him any harm anyway.

But if you play with fire, you're bound to get burned right?

Doyoung was told to distance himself from the fire many times, but the flames reached out to him eventually and he chose to fuck it and get involved instead. But if you ask him, he doesn't regret it, even if it left scars that will probably never heal, he will never regret it.

For he loved her so much, he just wanted to be in her life in some way, romantically or not, even if it's a rebound. If given the option, he would like to keep her all to himself - in fact, he didn't only just want her, he wanted to hold such a position in her life where she would be able to depend on him - but fate was cruel on him like always. Because she was never his to keep.

Doyoung cherishes his memories with her as if they were as worthy as golds and diamonds, which to him, they were. He still remembers each and every moment spend with her as if they had taken place just yesterday.

"Yah, Kim Doyoung! Why did you push me? Now I am wet." Raeim spit the water out of her mouth, arms crossed in front of her chest as she glared at the said boy.
