A month had passed since you had caught Jihoon, your boyfriend of two years, cheating on you with some woman. Your life had gone spiraling downwards after that. You became isolated, refusing to leave your home aside for when you needed groceries. Mingyu and Seungcheol had tried continuously to get you to talk to them but it was to no avail. You had fallen into such a deep depression that you didn't even want to use the energy to talk to them. What was the point anyways? They already knew what had happened so why bother talking to you about it any more? It seemed pointless.
Today happened to be one of those days where you needed to leave your house to get groceries and toiletries, so you got dressed and headed out. During the walk it started raining, luckily you had put on a sweater. You weren't sure when, but at some point during the walk you had begun crying and it was impossible to tell where the rain stopped and the tears began.
The grocery store was somewhat busy, it was bright and full of colors. Being exposed to it felt nice as opposed to being alone in your dreary house only thinking of him. While you were picking up a box of cereal you heard someone clear their throat. You were about to apologize for being in their way until you turned around to see who it was. Jihoon. A mix of emotions came over you. You were stunned and furious and appalled and frightened but through it all you just stood in silence and stared at him. He looked almost as bad as you did. His hair was disheveled, he had bags under his eyes and it was clear that he had lost weight because his cheeks were hallowing out.
"Y/N..." he he whispered, clearly just as shocked to see you.
As you began to leave Jihoon grabbed your wrist to stop you, "I already let you walk away once without talking about what happened, I won't let it happen twice."
Unable to find the will to argue with him you simply nodded your head. No harm in letting him talk, right? So you followed behind him as he lead you to the cafeteria in the grocery store. As you sat down across from him he looked somewhat nervous, maybe because he finally had to talk about what he did.
"I want to start out by saying this..." he began his explanation, "I am so sorry about what I did to you. I was an ass and cheated on you with that woman, I don't know why I did it. You were the best thing that's ever happened to me but I threw that all away. You didn't deserve that, you deserve the world but I was a bad boyfriend and didn't give you the world. I just gave you some stones. But I want to make it right. We don't have to go back to dating, but I want to be your friend, treat you well like I should have before and let you see how I've changed. then you can decide if you want to get back together."
Jihoon had a desperate look in his eyes, clearly wanting this badly. The offer sounded good, it was a trial for him and in your heart you really hoped that something like this would occur, despite what had happened.
"Alright, let's try it," You agreed with a small smile forming on your face.
Overcome with happiness Jihoon ran to your side of the table, picked you up and spun you around in a hug while muttering a 'thank you' into your hair.
