han walked by himself to class again, sighing when he saw you skipped for the second time this week, your seat still empty from yesterday.

han wanted to check up on you the first time you were absent, but he couldn't find the time to do so in between all the assignments and projects he had to complete.

but he knew one thing for sure, he was going to check up on you today, drowning in homework or not.

and so he knocked on your dorm door after finishing up his project for some class, only to be met with your roommate — sullyoon —  on the other side of the door.

"hey, is [name] inside?" he peered to take glance inside, but there was no sign of you.

sullyoon lets out a slightly worried sigh before speaking. "i wish, jisung. she was here yesterday, but i haven't seen her all day. she was really upset, too."

that made jisung's heart ache in his chest. he set off on a mission to find you, wherever you were, starting with the places you always went to.

the library was his first thought, but his heart only raced even more when he saw you weren't there. on his way to the other places you most likely were on campus, he sent you a few texts you didn't even reply to, let alone check.

jisung was in a box, not knowing what to do until the time of day dawned on him. ten p.m. there's only one place you'd be staying at until this hour.

watching you lean your arms onto the railing of the building's ceiling floor, han walked towards you slowly.

"you know i don't like staying away from you longer than a day, [name]" jisung chuckles in hopes to lighten the mood, his smile instantly fading once he sees you turn around to look at him, tears stinging your bloodshot eyes.

his brows furrowed as he reached out faster to place a hand on your shoulder, but you turn around with a sniffle. "hey, come on. i missed you" he utters softly, holding you in place.

after a moment of hesitation, you lunged into his arms, hugging him tightly as you let out a shaky breath.

jisung's eyes widen as he hugs you back, circling your shoulder blades comfortingly, slightly swaying. "what happened? you didn't reply to any of my texts."

"my phone died" you say in a whisper, careful not to let him hear the hint of pain in your voice which he easily brought out of your tone anyways.

you melted into the warmth of his touch, relaxing under his grip for a little while in comforting silence which he quietly broke. "do you wanna talk about it?" he asks.

you pull away as you sit down on the blanket on the floor which some guys left there a long time ago when there was a room party.

he takes a seat beside you, leaning his back against the railing as he looked at you, wiping your face.

you don't look at him, though, simply staring at the floor as you spoke. "he rejected me." you forced a chuckle that struck a stake in jisung's heart as he pulled you close the second he saw a teardrop fall from your eye.

oh that asshole.

he held you as you sobbed into his shoulder, staining his sweater with your tears but he couldn't care less about his clothes right now. he couldn't bear to see the person he loved most in such pain.

it hurt him so much how you could cry over a guy who was so way under your league. he doesn't even know how you came to like him in the first place.

"hey, he doesn't deserve you" he comforts, pulling you onto his lap as the sounds of your silent cries rang in his ears.

he trailed soothing marks on your back as you slowly but surely calmed down. he pulled your tear-stained face to meet his, soft and loving.

"he's a complete asshat anyways. there's so many other guys better for you."

him. he was better for you.

you wipe your face with a sigh, "i know, and i should've listened to you, but—"

jisung cuts you off with a finger to your lips, "don't you dare apologize" he says, flashing a kind smile as he pushed your hair out of your face, centimeters apart from his.

he gazed into your eyes for a few moments before his eyes flashed to your rosy pink cheeks and soft lips. "you're more than enough, you know that? and you don't have to hide anything with me."

your heart warmed at his words. the truth was, nobody cared for you the way jisung did. and maturing from this moment would be realizing that nobody else was going to treat you like he does. the real truth was, jisung loved you more than anyone else, and you loved him too.

although before you saw it platonically, this moment in specific made you realize that jisung would never do anything to harm you. hell, he'd harm anyone who tried to pain you.

maturing would be finally realizing that jisung has feelings for you. that's why he cares so much.

"you're the most amazing, kind, beautiful person i've ever met, [name]" he smiles and you swear you could melt, "that's something i'm sure of."

you let out a small giggle as a tear falls from your eye, making your face radiate in the moonlight. he gently wipes away your tear, cupping your cheek. "what idiot would ever reject you?" he seems to ask himself more than you.

slowly, han leans in closer if possible, his breath tickling your cheek. you can feel the warmth of his hand, his thumb gently caressing your face to bring you comfort.

his eyes search yours, as if asking for permission, and you find yourself nodding as a soft smile plasters your lips.

he closes the distance, meeting your lips in a gentle, soothing kiss. it feels tender, soft, lingering with emotions you've both held onto for so long yet have never spoken about.

the hand on your cheek feels delicate, wiping your eyes as his lips melted onto yours, not wanting to pull away.

you both pull back slightly, and jisung presses his forehead against yours as he lets out a breathless laugh at the sight of your flushed cheeks, making you laugh along.

"i've been wanting to do that for a while" he confesses, his voice barely above a whisper.

"me too" you admit, followed by yet another chuckle at the sensation of his lips still hovering yours.

you remain there for most of the night, taking in the comfort of each other's presence under the beautiful twilight sky.

and you take this time to realize that this is where you were meant to be all along — with the one person who catches you, even when you're falling.
