TIME SEEMED TO fly, as it was already the next morning. The previous night was spent alone with just her and Yunjin, eating Chick-fil-A that Yunjin had brought home for dinner whilst having a movie marathon in an attempt to distract her mind from any troublesome thoughts.
Haneul woke to hear knocks at the front door, eyes peeling open as she let out a small sigh. Standing up from the bed with a huff, she trudged out of the bedroom, wandering straight to the front door.
Unlocking the door and opening it, her eyes widened in surprise before softening at the sight of the familiar face, stepping aside to let him inside.
After slipping off his shoes, Lee Heeseung didn't waste a second before he wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her close to his chest as he squeezed his eyes shut, guilt flowing through his body. "I'm so sorry." He whispered, pulling away from the hug as he stared at her, adoration evident in his gaze.
"I heard about what happened, and I'm so sorry. I promised myself that I'd be there for you whenever you needed me-- that'd I fix everything that I broke back then. Yet, I couldn't answer a simple phone call because I was too caught up with work. I'm so sorry, Haneul. I didn't mean to. Hurting you again was never my intention." The boy rambled, brows tied in a knot as he chewed at his bottom lip anxiously.
Haneul stayed silent, showing no emotion as she looked at the boy with curiosity in her brain. After a short lived moment of silence, she finally began to speak -- voice barely above a whisper as she was afraid if she were to speak any louder, she'd crack.
"I was terrified without you." She let out, gaze shifting down as she cleared her throat at an attempt to get rid of the raspiness of her voice -- having only woken up a few minutes prior.
Heeseung's gaze softened, nodding his head slowly in response to her confession, a frown tugging at his lips as he threaded his fingers through his hair.
"I'm so, so sorry, Haneul. Believe me when I say that one of my biggest regrets is not answering that call. I should've been there to comfort you -- to do all the things I should've done that day. I should've helped you through a tough time, and provided you comfort and safety. I really should've. And because I didn't, I sincerely apologize to you. I'll forever hold it against myself."
