3rd person's POV:
Jaehyun took a deep breath and walked into the empty classroom where they had agreed to meet. Riwoo was already there, sitting at a desk, looking nervous.
"Hey," Jaehyun said softly, sitting down across from him.
"Hey," Riwoo replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
They sat in silence for a moment, looking at each other. Jaehyun could see the regret in Riwoo's eyes, and it gave him hope.
"I'm sorry," Riwoo said finally, his voice cracking. "I was so wrong to assume the worst about you. I know I hurt you, and I don't blame you if you can't forgive me for not hearing you out earlier."
Jaehyun looked down, his eyes welling up with tears. "I was hurt, Riwoo. But I also realized that I wasn't perfect either. I should have communicated better, trusted you more."
Riwoo shook his head. "No, Jaehyun, this is all on me. I was so blind, so stupid..."
Jaehyun reached out and took Riwoo's hand. "Stop, Riwoo. We both made mistakes. But I want you to know that I still love you, despite everything."
Riwoo's eyes widened in surprise, and he felt a glimmer of hope. "Really?"
Jaehyun nodded. "Really. But I need you to understand why I was so hurt. Why I felt like you didn't trust me."
Riwoo took a deep breath and nodded. "I'm listening."
And so Jaehyun told him everything – about his fears, his insecurities, his feelings of inadequacy regarding the issues. Riwoo listened intently, his eyes filled with tears.
"I had no idea," Riwoo said when Jaehyun finished. "I'm so sorry I didn't see it, didn't understand. I'm sorry for not listening to you when you tried to explain. I was insecure and thought you didn't like me anymore."
Jaehyun squeezed his hand. "Well, now you know that i do still like you. And I'm sorry too, for not communicating better. I should've just told you the truth when you first walked in."
They sat in silence for a moment, hands entwined, looking at each other. A wave of emotions washing over them.
"I love you, Riwoo," Jaehyun said finally.
Riwoo's face lit up with a soft smile. "I love you too, Jaehyun."
And with that, the two shared a hug. They hoped nothing would get between them like this.

Jaehyun's POV:
I lay in bed, my heart still racing from our conversation. I couldn't believe how much weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I had been so scared to talk to Riwoo, but it had been the best decision I ever made.
I thought back to everything we had said, every word, every gesture. I could see the sincerity in Riwoo's eyes, the regret and love. I knew I had made the right choice in forgiving him.
I smiled to myself, feeling a sense of peace wash over me. I knew we still had work to do, but I was ready. I was ready to move forward, to rebuild our relationship.
I closed my eyes, feeling Riwoo's hand in mine, even though we were apart. I hoped he was thinking of me too, that he was feeling the same emotions.
I drifted off to sleep, my heart full of hope for us.
Riwoo's POV:
I sat on my bed, my eyes fixed on the wall as I replayed our conversation in my head. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have Jaehyun back. I had been so sure I had lost him forever.
I thought about everything I had said, every apology, every promise. I knew I had meant every word of it. I was determined to regain Jaehyun's trust, and that's exactly what I did. I was really happy that we were able to sort things out by talking.
I stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the beautiful night sky. I felt a sense of peace and of closure. I knew we still had a long way to go, but I was ready.
I turned back to my bed and lay down, my eyes closing as I thought of my friends, and of course Jaehyun. I could almost feel his presence, his love.
I smiled to myself, feeling grateful for a second chance. I knew I wouldn't waste it.
