YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE | JEONG YUNHO [OS]

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE - OS

Why do you keep on going on those goddamn dates? You think, on the way home. Assholes, pure narcissists, losers. They all are the same in the end. The same locations, the same boring conversations and they aren't even offering to pay for the bill. What could you wait from people spending their day swiping on a shitty app? Were your expectations too high? or their standards too low? The ending scheme remains as always: you're coming home, alone. This time you promise yourself; you're deleting that puddle of nonsense from your phone. No more dates, ever.

You push the entrance door in a sigh of relief. Done with the dummies. Everything is quiet, as usual. We only hear the voices of the actors on TV. The usual drama Yunho loves to watch when you're not home. As soon as he realized you were home, he turned out the TV, and his big brown eyes to you. "Spill the tea, Gorgeous." He says his usual giant smile on the face. You drop by his side on the couch in an umpteenth sigh. "I hate men so much." And you mean it. They're so disappointing, how could you not hate them? "All of them? Even me?" Of course not. Jeong Yun-ho was the best man you've ever known. A smile appears on your face before you cast an amused look at him. "Especially you!" You say, bumping your shoulder on his arm, making him laugh. "I'm just so mad they can't even reach a little bit of respect to the people they have in front of them." That dumb dude you met tonight, spent the entire time watching the match on TV. He barely even took a real look at you, or even was interested in what you were saying. You've never felt more alone or disrespected in your whole life. You take your time to explain everything to your best friend. Your voice is filled with anger and disappointment. Mostly, deep down your heart, you felt like there was no hope anymore. It was so difficult to talk with someone that was interesting and interested. It was obvious that everything had gone wrong, and that you'll never find somebody that will treat you the right way. "Their loss. They don't know how amazing you are." He says, trying to make you feel better, surrounding you with one arm. "That's what you think." You add, looking at his face. "I just wanted to have a cute date, something that was nice and simple. A moment that feels new and refreshing. But it was too much to ask." You say, pouting your lips, leaning your head on his strong shoulder. "Can I do something to ease your mood?" nodding in a slight despair. "Please. I'd very much appreciate it."

You knew Yunho for a few years now. He first was your classmate and then, he became your roommate, in a much bigger apartment than your small student room. It was convenient for the both of you and living by his side was easy. He was nice, quiet, clean, funny, also very handsome, which, you can admit, was quite an advantage. But above all, he knew perfectly how to make you feel better. He leaves your side so fast you suddenly felt cold. Your sight follows his paths to the kitchen, curious about what he'll do. "You should take a moment to take a shower, you'd feel much better after that." He says, not even looking at you, but he surely felt your eyes on his back. "Look at you, fathering me." You hear him laugh, while you were reaching the bathroom. And he sure was right, the water was the perfect remedy to your bad mood, feeling the water running down your muscles made you feel very much at ease. You surround yourself with a delicious flowery perfume. You adore it. It was actually him that offered you that perfume a few years ago, for your birthday. Since then, it has become your favorite amongst all the others you already had. You feel even better after you sunk yourself in your favorite night gown. A delicious smell of sugar reaches your nose, as soon as you got out of the steamy room. God bless having such a good person in your life. On the counter of the kitchen were waiting your favorite drink and those heated cookies you loved so much. Your heart suddenly burst in tender. How sweet of him. "And we can watch that show that you love, if it can helps." He proposed, soon after he saw that you were back in the living room. "I just wanted a hug, Yunho." You say, but oh how much you appreciated every little thing he made to make you feel the best. "Is it too much? We can just eat and..." "No. Of course, not. I'd love to watch that show with you." You smile. Everything was just so on point, and you've never felt as understood ever before.
