((Haerin POV))

I stayed quiet as my partner continued to scold me, I was never a fan of loud noises, or voices for that matter. I froze in my place, looking down at the floor, I did not know how to respond, I hate it when people shout at me.

"For gods sake! Haerin, say something!" My partner pushed my shoulder to provoke me, yet I couldn't bring myself to speak, I felt a lump in my throat...

I swallowed the lump thoroughly, fidgeting my hands. Just as I was about to speak up, they started to shout much louder this time.

"I hate you, I hate this about you. You never speak whenever we face issues, you never own up to your mistakes either. You're such a mess to be around. You're so difficult!"

"Never own up to my mistakes? All I did was burn your omelette by accident," I spoke up, defending myself. "I wanted to help you... I was upset watching you cook all by yourself."

"Really? You finally spoke up and this is what you say? Oh god, I am done. It's over, Haerin."

I picked at my skin as I watched my partner leave, this wasn't the first time things like this happened. Actually, this happens, almost... all the time.

I don't get it, what did I do wrong? Is it the fact that I'm quieter than most people? Is it the fact that I can't be verbal about my emotions? Is that it? Or am I too boring?

I sat down on the floor, covering my face with my knees. Whatever.

"Haerin..." Danielle spoke as she brushed her hand against my back, "What happened?"

I looked up to Danielle, I forgot I told my bestfriend to come over today evening. I bit my lip and tried to fix myself up quickly, there was no use to do this, but I worried that I'm far too much of a mess right now to even talk to.

"Your mom let me in, she said your partner left a few hours ago." She reached out her hand, offering it, "cmon. get up. whatever it is that's bothering you, I am here now."

it took me a few seconds to accept her offer, "okay," I held her hand as she pulled me to a hug.

She held me tightly, "Haerin... now, tell me what happened?"

I was hesitant at first, but she's also... my bestfriend, and I could really use a shoulder to lean on, no matter how independent I tend to be.

"My partner broke up with me,"

"Oh, haerin... I'm sorry—"

"No. I'm not upset about the breakup. I'm upset about the fact that all my relationships ended in the same way, it's always like this. They always end up telling me I'm too difficult to be with. I don't understand, I DO try my best, Dani... I always try to adapt to people, even when it's difficult for me to adapt... I've made so much sacrifices for so many people, for absolutely no reason. It always ends badly. Dani, I'm tired. I'm not a relationship person, and I don't think I'll ever be. I dont know anymore, I just... What did I ever do wrong to be treated like this? I'm... seriously worn out."

Danielle tightened the hug between them, she pulled away, looking at Haerin's face, "It's not your fault, haerin. It's their fault for letting the relationships be one sided like this, you're not difficult at all. You just need someone who understands, who gets you, who wants you, who would put in the effort you deserve. And what you deserve is to be loved, like everyone else, you're human... and..." she paused, rubbing her fingers against my hand, soothing me in a way, "and... anyone would be lucky to have you, as their girlfriend. You're perfect, I mean, cmon, Haerin! You're so pretty, and you're a selfless person. You have so much love in you, and I can see that, and whoever takes advantage of it, well, screw them. You're beautiful, you're an all in one package. I've seen your efforts with your past partners, you always tried, and that's what matters. You're perfect, Haerin. Anyone... I mean it seriously, would be very... very... lucky to be with someone like you, not even someone like you, to just... be with you—"

Before she could continue, I pressed my lips gently against hers, pecking her. I felt a slight groan escape from her lips.

She pushed me away slightly, "Haerin... let's talk about this first."

"Be lucky to have me..." I held her face, cupping her cheeks. "Danielle, be the lucky one."

"But,"

"You said it, I'm perfect. So, be lucky, be with me."

She stared at me, confused. Yet, I could see it, the blush on her face, "Haerin." she sighed softly, pulling me closer.

I could feel her soft breaths as she pulled closer to me, inhale and exhale... I felt tingles all over, I never saw Danielle up close like this before. Her eyelashes were much prettier in a view like this, and her eyes... I could still see them shine, as she closed them soundly.

She pressed her lips against mine, sealing the kiss. Her body pushed up against me, setting this rush between us. I quickly moved my hands to her waist, and reciprocated the kiss. My fingers rubbed her waist, causing her to shake. I never knew Danielle was this sensitive. I never expected it.

She bit my lip, causing the kiss to be rather heated. Her lips were so soft, so perfect.

I opened my eyes as she pulled away, "I think I like you, Haerin. Please, let me be the lucky one then. I won't let you down, I'll adapt to you as you adapt to me, we'll be entwined. For as long as fate lets us be."

"That's corny..." I chucked, blushing at her statement, "Okay, prince charming, you can be the lucky one." I played along, teasing her.

She let out a small giggle, and hugged me tightly. This time, the hug felt rather romantic than platonic.
