moving on with you | jihyo ♡ daniel

Chapter 32

3rd Person's P.o.V.

"Stacy!" Daniel called her. She was alone and she looked like she was waiting for someone and it was Daniel.

"O-oh, Daniel. Hi?" Stacy awkwardly greeted him.

"Why are you alone? Come on let's go, it's getting a bit cold." Daniel worriedly said and guided Stacy inside.

He saw Stacy's aunty and he greeted him, too.

"I thought you didn't want him to come? Now he's here?" she asked.

"U-uh, I just wanted him with me. I uh missed him," Stacy said and it was followed by her giggle. Daniel just laughed, too.

-•-

"Have you eaten, Daniel?" Stacy asked him. They're inside for now. Stacy will take him later.

"Earlier, yes. But I'm a bit hungry?" Daniel said and Stacy laughed.

"Well, let's go get some food? And drinks?" Stacy suggested and was about to go out.

Daniel took a sigh. He's worried about her, really.

"Aren't you tired? You look tired." Daniel said and Stacy just smiled. She sighed and went to her bed.

"I am... I'm sorry if I told you to come here, I-" she couldn't tell the truth. She cut her statement.

"It's fine.. You know what, how about we take a nap for now? I'm tired, too. So maybe I can be tired with you?" Daniel said and they laughed. Stacy nodded.

Daniel guided her to lay down, then he turned off the lights then went back to her.

"Daniel?" Stacy called him.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry..." she suddenly said. Daniel faced her in confusion.

"For what? Stacy.."

"You know, for basically everything. I wasn't a good girlfriend to you. And then I lied to you, and broke up with you. I hurt you, a lot. Then you knew about my engagement.. So I assume you were hurt about that, too. Then suddenly I just come back when you're already moved on and you already like somebody else. Telling you that I'm sick and dying, asking for a favor to stay with me... And you took care of me. I caused you trouble-" Stacy explained with her tears falling down.. Realizing all what she have done. But Daniel cut her off.

"Shh, Stacy. It's fine, okay?"

"No. It's not fine. I'm dying, Daniel! And when that happens, nothing happens to you, too! You're just gonna cry for me, cry to my grave and then what? You lost everyone, even Jihyo!" Stacy burst. She was so mad at herself. She just had to say it, and her name. Jihyo. Daniel was surprised.

Stacy wiped her tears.

"I'm- uh sorry.. Daniel.. It's just that.. I feel like a really heavy burden to you, and- and that I'm dragging you down from everyone and.. I feel bad! Really bad... I just hate myself, I hate myself for being sick and dying and... And being a burden to you, to my aunt, and to everyone. I-" she couldn't continue what she was because she was really sobbing hard.

Daniel hugged her, trying to calm her down.

"Shush... Stop, okay? You're not. You're not a burden to me, or to everyone. And Stacy, I care for you. That's why I'm doing this. Don't worry about me, okay? I'm fine... Just rest. You have to rest." Daniel said while wiping her tears then he hugged her again.

Stacy calmed down a bit, feeling tired and wanting to sleep.

"I.. I want to sleep, Daniel."
