Y/n pov-

I was so excited for today, one of Ho-Yeon's friends were in town and she thought it would be a great chance to introduce me to her.

Pulling into the parking lot in front of the cafe, preparing to run inside as the rain outside grows heavier.

Once inside Ho-Yeon sports her friend and runs up to her pulling her friend into a massive bear hug that seems to last a while, it was so nice to see Ho-Yeon so excited. 

"Hi, I'm Jennie" Jennie bows and signals for us to take a seat after pulling me into a quick hug.

"Y/n, it's very nice to meet you. Ho-Yeon has told me so much about you" Ho-Yeon lightly hits my side playfully. Looking at the menu trying to decide what to eat I wasn't paying much attention to the conversation between the other two girls at the table.

"Y/n? hello, earth to Y/n?" I notice the two girls staring at me.

"I'm so sorry what was that?" The girls both giggled and Jennie askes her question again.

"what do you do for a living?" she smiles.

"oh I'm a graphic designer" Compared to Ho-Yeon's job mine didn't seem very interesting but Jennie still proceeds to ask me many questions about it.

I excuse myself to the bathroom. When coming back to the table Ho-Yeon and Jennie are in a very deep conversation and I don't think they really notice I'm there, I sit down and listen in but am not included in the discussion.

We finish our food, Ho-Yeon and Jennie still having many different conversations but none of which I could relate to. I reach across the table for Ho-Yeon's hand but as my fingers brush over hers her hand moves away from mine and is placed under her chin as she continues to listen to Jennie.

My heart aches and feels like it had just been impaled. I was trying not to think about it too much 'She is probably just excited about her friend ' i try to reassure myself.

As time passes by I felt that Ho-Yeon was completely ignoring me. It hurt a lot but I don't want to make a scene in front of her friend.

Jennie gets a call from someone and excuses herself to answer it, Ho-Yeon turns to me but I keep my gaze on the drink in front of me playing with the straw.

"babe, you ok?" Ho-Yeon questions.

"Yeah, I'm great," I say, a hint of sarcasm manages to slip out and Ho-Yeon caught on that something really wasn't ok.

"I'm so sorry I need to go but it was so nice seeing you again and great meeting you Y/n," Jennie says picking up her jacket and bag. We say our goodbyes and walk to our car.

"Do you want to listen to any music" Ho-Yeon tries to hand me her phone but I don't accept and just stare at the water droplets falling down the window. She sighs and starts the car driving home.

We are home and all I want to do is go to the bathroom and cry, I have always been rather sensitive but feared that people would judge me about it so I hold it in till I'm alone. Before I can make my escape I felt a cold hand grip around my wrist.

"Y/n what's wrong?" Worry consuming Ho-Yeon's voice.

"You ignored me, completely forgot I was there. You moved your hand away from mine and were too busy talking to your friend to realise that I was hurt by your actions" I explain raising my voice slightly.

"Are you jealous? God, I never thought I would see the day when Y/n Y/l/n would be jealous of me and a friend" Ho-Yeon scoffs. My eyebrows crease at her statement, she was never like this when I was upset.

"Are you serious!? I'm hurt and upset and that's how you're going to reply" I shout.

"Yes, it is! Y/n I'm tired of always having to comfort you because you're too insecure and sensitive about anything and everything. It's exhausting" She yells at me, immediately regretting it.

My heart shatters, I take a few steps back from her my body begins to shake slightly. Biting my bottom lip trying to dismiss the tears frightening to fall down.

Ho-Yeon takes a step closer to me causing me to flinch, she backs away and looks down. Still shaking I grab my jacket and run out the front door, Tears rolling down my cheek. I run out into the rain and thankfully it had calmed as was more of a light drizzle.

Part of me wants to turn around and walk back home but all I need right now is time alone. the words 'insecure' and 'Sensitive ' keep replaying in my head, I know those things about me are true but hearing it from the one person I love really hurts and leaves me confused and shocked that she would ever use them against me...

Ho-Yeon's pov-

The door slowly shuts, she was gone. I fall to the ground not making a sound.

After the words, I said to Y/n finally set in and I really come to the reality of what just happened I begin to cry, wrapping my arms around myself in a comforting way.

'what if I lose her? '

I grab my jacket and car keys and rush to my car as fast as possible. 

Driving around our neighbourhood trying to find her. I went to all our favourite spots, The park, The ice cream shop, the movie theatre. Right as I'm about to lose all hope I remember the one place I haven't checked... the lake. 

Y/n loved the lake, especially when it was raining. She would always walk down there with an umbrella and listen to the rainfall on the trees and the water, it was serene and calming.

Once arriving I grab my umbrella out of the car and walk to the lake, stopping only a few feet away from it. There she was, sitting on the same bench she always did just peacefully watching the light raindrops land on the water.

"Y/n..." my voice is soft and quiet, trying my best not to alarm her.

She looks up at me, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Her hair and jacket were all wet as she didn't take an umbrella with her when she left the house.

I sit down next to her and bring the umbrella above both of our heads.

"y/n, I am so sorry. What I said was wrong and hurtful and it disgusts me to think I said those terrible things to you" when she looks away from me and back at the water I lower my head in defeat 'This is it '.

I was about to stand up to leave her in peace but felt a sudden weight lean against my side, Y/n is cuddling up against my arm.

"I'm sorry to" she mumbles. I push her off me and lift her face to look at mine.

"You have nothing to be sorry about Y/n so please do not apologize. This was my fault, I have no idea what I was thinking when I lashed out like that at you and I'm so sorry, I hope you know how much I love you" she smiles at me and pulls me into a loving, emotional kiss, I completely melt into it.

"I love you too," she says whilst pulling away from the kiss, she rests her head on my shoulder and hugs my arm. I look down at her and silently sigh in relief, placing a soft kiss upon her head before looking at the water in comfortable silence.

'I will never lose her

A/n-

It's 12:30 am and I am so tired (for once) but this came into my mind and I knew I wouldn't remember it in the morning. I will probs go over it tomorrow when I'm not half away to fix it up and make it better but yeah. Bye for now, Goodnight/ morning xxx <3
