MESSAGES [JEON WONWOO]

28

unknown: i'm at your house, come open the door

me: sorry, you have the wrong number

unknown: areum, no i don't

unknown: just come open the door and i'll explain everything

i placed my phone down on the counter and walked to my front door.

i looked through the peephole, then unlocked my door and opened it. the person behind it was now in my full view.

"no way.." my eyes widened.

"just let me in and i promise i'll explain everything."

i moved over and allowed him in. he walked into my kitchen and sat down at the table, and i sat opposite from him.

his hair had grown, his cheekbones were more defined, looking as he had lost weight, his prominent collar bones were visible underneath his oversized sweater.

"what happened to you?"

he just looked down and sighed.

"hey, i asked you a question. you said you'd explain, now's your chance." my tone came off a lot more rude than i intended to.

"what happened to you? what happened to the sweet, caring areum i used to know?" his eyes met mine and in that moment, for a few seconds, i felt sorry for him. i felt it in my heart, unlike any pain i had felt before.

"again, you said you'd explain, if you don't i'm gonna have to ask you to leave." i got up from my seat and walked towards the door, he stayed sitting down.

"it's hard to talk about it, sorry."

"well, if you can't talk about it, why did you wanna explain everything to me?"

"seriously, what happened to you, why are you being so rude?" he got out of his seat and walked towards me, i heard the hurt in his voice, and saw it in his eyes.

and that's when the tears fell from my eyes.

"no, areum, please don't cry." he closed the space between us and wrapped his arms around my waist, i immediately placed my arms around his neck. i held him tightly, like my life depended on it. which, in this moment and time, it did.

i had gone so long without his touch; to say it drove me crazy was an understatement.

"you have no idea how much i missed you.." he mumbled in my neck, i just hugged him tighter i response.

"i missed you so much, wonwoo, you actually have no idea." we pulled away and his hand found mine and held it tightly.

"so if you're wondering what happened, i-"

"that doesn't matter right now, you're okay and alive and that's all that i could ask for." i pulled him into another hug, and he placed a soft kiss on my forehead. he looked me in my eyes when he pulled away.

"you know, being without you for that long only made me love you even more than i did."

"being without you for that long drove me crazy. i really missed you."

"can i kiss you?"

"go ahead." i giggled.

he placed his hand underneath my chin and pulled my face closer to his. i had longed for the feeling of his lips against my own for a long time.

the kiss lasted for a few seconds before we both pulled away.

"i'm happy i get to start doing that again."
