Love Me Not

Home

She chuckled and took a deep exhale.

"I love you a lot, but.."

"But?"

"I am scared,"

"Why?"

"C-cause I fear losing you,"

"What? Why?"

"I just fear that what if it happens again?" She trembles a bit while saying.

Felix cupped her face
"Why? Tell me, what is the matter?"

"Whomsoever I love leave me. First, my mother died, My father became a drunkyard and left me one day. My friends, they, too, betrayed me and left me. I know that you won't betray me, but still, I am scared to lose you. Everyone leaving feels like a curse. What if we ever grow out of love or something else happens that would separate us? "

He pulled her trembling body into a hug making sure that he doesn't hurt her. He patted her gently.

"Don't worry!! You had enough. Now I won't let you cry ever. I agree that people do grow out of love or maybe something could happen that would separate us but people don't isolate themselves because of that. I promise you even as a well wisher, I won't leave you and even -"

He parted while holding her shoulders

"I won't let you leave me. Whether you curse me, beat me up, make me do house chores still I will never ever leave you. In return I just want you to stay with me. Please never abandon me. "

He said the last line in a cracked voice.
and started sobbing. Yul chuckled on seeing him cry like a baby. She tucked his hair, which was hiding his cat-like eyes. Then, he wiped his face.

"I am sorry. I was trying to comfort you but ended up crying. " He looked down.

She held him by his chin to face her. "Seeing you by my side is my comfort. I don't think I need anything else. I just want you by my side. " She gives a pressed lips full smile

They stared at each other for a while.

"Now let me bring you some food cause you have to take your medicines," said Felix.

With this, he went to bring her food.
He then fed her by his own hands, then gave her medicines. Soon, she fell asleep. He tucked her with the blanket.
He was about to leave but stopped to stare at her. "I can't believe you're mine now. You literally confessed to me.

I know you must have faced a lot, but now I am with you. I won't let you get hurt again.

He said to his sleeping figure and was about to leave, but she stopped him.He got flinched on what she said. "Hey!! How can you leave me when you just promised not to? " He chuckled in response.

"I'm not leaving. I'm right here,"

"Just sleep beside me. "

"Huh??"

"If you don't want, then it's -"

She was about to turn to the other side, but Felix stopped her.

"It's okay. If you're insisting so much, then I'll surely sleep with you. "

Yul smiled mischievously. They slept together. After a while,

"Are you an animal? How can you sleep like this? After keeping me all awake, "
Said Yul.

"You know what, my heartbeat gets fast whenever I see you. I wanted to say yes at the time when you asked me, but something stopped me. I don't exactly what? Maybe my past experiences. Whenever you look at me like that, I want to...." She continued while caressing his hair.

"You want to...?" She got a bit shocked since she had no idea that he was awake all this time.

Yul stopped caressing his hair and turned around, showing her back to Felix. He giggled and kept his hand on her waist, and pulled her closer.

"Let's just sleep like that,"

~TIME SKIP TO MORNING~

"Yulaah!!"

"Oh hi, mom!"

"Oh my dear, how are you feeling?"

"Mmm.... better than before. All thanks to your son. "

"He must have taken good care of you,"

"He did," Yul nodded.

"Here, I have brought you some pumpkin soup,"

"Woaah!! It smells great. "

"Does it?" She nodded.

After a while, after his mother fed Yul.

Felix and Hyunjin came after school.

"Oh! Oppa! Felix!"

"Oh! You're indeed injured badly. " Hyunjin said

"Well, I am alright now.''

"I bet it's because of lix.
Let me tell you one thing, he was eagerly waiting for classes to end just to meet you, and you know what he said -"

Before he could say Felix closed his mouth. "Hyung, I told you not to tell her,"

They started running all around like kids while Felix's mother trying to stop them. Yul laughed, seeing the scene in front of her, but soon warm tears started falling from her cheeks. Yul started thinking about everything, how she used to stay earlier, and how she's staying now.

Yul's thought: From them, I have learned that home is just not a place it's a feeling
A

nd I love it.
