Let Me Love You

Sorry

You awoke the next morning to your alarm blaring. You reached over, shutting it off. You stretched, lightly pushing on Jiyong. Quietly getting up, you grabbed a change of clothes and headed into the bathroom. Exhaustion was evident on your face. Sighing, you put on a pair of leggings and one of Woozi's over sized sweatshirts. You put your hair into a quick bun, then brushed your teeth. You ran back into your room, almost forgetting your cell phone. When you walked in, Ji had moved the the spot you originally had slept in. Being as quiet as possible, you grabbed your phone, and stood there for a few seconds, admiring Jiyong's sleeping form. You turned, but swayed and slammed into your bedside table. "Aish.." Ji ran his hands through his hair, groaning. "I'm so sorry, go back to sleep, I didn't-"

"Rae, you're talking so loud right now. Can you please be quiet?" You apologized again, softly this time. "I have to go, there's painkillers in the bathroom cabinet. Don't wake Chelsea, she WILL hurt you. See ya." You left the room, going into Chelsea's room. You were the only one who could wake her up, anyone else would be mauled. "Chels, are-" You stopped, seeing Vernon sitting beside her sleeping form. "Oh, hey Vernon. When did you get here?" He sighed, looking at you. "I came over late last night." He stood up, leaning over Chelsea and giving her a light kiss on her forehead. "I'm ready when you are." You nodded, exiting the room.

You both walked to the house in silence. Once you arrived, you ran inside, seeing all the boys running around the living room, all but one. "Where is he?" It was Mingyu who spoke over the chaos. "In his room." You nodded, walking in there. You slowly opened the door, seeing a small figure sleeping. You smiled, walking into his room. Your smile disappeared at his red face. His eyes were swollen, as if he had been crying. You sat down, lightly running your fingers through his fading hair. He slightly stirred, opening his eyes. "Hey, Woozi." You whispered, still running your fingers through is hair. He grabbed your hand, pressing his lips to your knuckles. "I'm sorry for waking you. but you need to get up, you guys will be leaving here soon." You hoped he couldn't see you blushing in the dark room. "I don't want to go.." He gripped your hand, sitting up next to you. "Please don't be sad, we'll see each other soon. We'll call as much as we can." He nodded, standing up and tugging on your hand to follow. Intertwining your fingers, you walked out of his room.

The chaos had calmed, and everyone was coming in and out, loading suitcases onto a bus. You both walked outside, seeing everyone loading. Woozi turned to look at you, and that's when you started to cry. "Hey, if I can't cry you can't, okay?" He chuckled, wiping tears from your eyes. "I'm sorry." You replied, wrapping your arms around him, hugging him tight. "You say sorry a lot." You laughed, hugging him even tighter. You stayed that way for a while, until he broke the silence."Rae." You pulled away, looking at him. He gently put his lips on yours, and for some reason, you thought of kissing Jiyong last night, and suddenly felt guilty. You could hear hoots and hollers from all the other members. "Oh yeah, get it Woozi!" You laughed, pulling away. A huge grin was on his face. "Call me as soon as you get to the first venue, okay?" He nodded, "I promise I will." He kissed your forehead, and walked onto the bus. Everyone waved as it pulled away.

Once you got home, you went straight back into your room, planning on going back to sleep. Plans were somewhat complicated as you saw Jiyong sprawled out on your bed. You sighed, walking over to him and slightly shaking him. "Ji, you need to move. I want to go back to sleep." He groaned, rolling over to the other side of the bed, facing the wall. You slipped off your sandals, and since Ji wasn't looking, quickly took off your sweatshirt to change into a shirt. "You know, you look even better without a shirt on." You quickly pulled the shirt over your head, your face burning. "Why were you watching me? Creep." He laughed, amused. "Just saying." You crawled into bed, facing him. "Why did you come to my house last night when you got drunk?" He sighed, sitting up. "I guess.. I don't know, its not like me, but I got kinda jealous seeing you and Woozi together and I didn't know what else to do. I've been doing it for some time now. Chelsea just normally calls a cab to take me home. She didn't last night because some guy was coming over, Vernon I think? I don't think she had time." You just stared at him. He was jealous of you and Woozi? Chelsea knew he was coming over drunk, and didn't tell you? You sighed, covering your face with your hands. "Sorry for asking." He sighed, running his fingers through is hair. "You say sorry a lot." He said, looking at you. Woozi had said that earlier. Your heart stung, you missed him like crazy. For some reason, you pushed him into the back of your mind, and scooted closer to Ji, laying your head on his lap. "Is this okay? I just sleep better when I'm close to somebody." He nodded, slowly combing his fingers through your hair. "Friends, right?" You stared at him and smiled. "Friends for sure."

You never ended up going to sleep. You both caught each other up on the few weeks you didn't talk. You didn't talk about Woozi, in fear of upsetting him. And at one point, he asked you about the night you called him. "Do you really want to know?" You looked up at him, and he was completely serious. You slowly sat up, sitting across from him. The room was silent for a long time, until you finally broke it, telling him the story, start to finish. "They never found who it was?" You shook your head, silent tears streaming down your face. He leaned towards you, wiping them away. "Can I.. can I see?" He whispered, looking at your shoulder, down to your hip. Nodding, you lifted up your shirt, revealing the jagged scar above your hipbone. His eyes grew wide, and reached his hand out, gently tracing it, sending shivers throughout your body. He lifted your shirt even higher, taking in the other scar on your shoulder. "How could someone do this to you?" He was whispering, leaned even closer and examining the scar.

Then, he did something that surprised you. He pulled your shirt back down, and grabbed you into a hug. You reluctantly wrapped your arms around him, burying your head into his shoulder. "I am so sorry Rae." He whispered. You pulled away, a small smile on your face. "Its okay. I'm okay." He shook his head, looking at you. "If you were okay, that night when you called me wouldn't have happened." You sighed, standing up. "I didn't mean for that to happen, I'm sorry." He just looked at you, emotionless. "I'm going back to sleep. You can join me if you like." Ji offered, opening his arms. You shook your head. "I need to talk to Chelsea. Sleep tight." You ruffled his hair before walking into your best friends room, ready for some answers.
