Two days left until Mia's departure from Korea and things still remained unclear between her and Jeonghan. No human likes leaving unsolved issues behind them. She went on a date with Jihoon 2 more times until they both figured it was better not to take things any further.
"You should talk to Jeonghan though. You know, it brings him kinda down. And we really need him as strong as possible for our comeback in three weeks." Jihoon told her before kissing her cheek goodbye.
In the end, everything leads to Jeonghan. Every talk ends with Jeonghan.
Why do you still won't admit it. It was your mistake
She tells herself over and over. But there are people who always offer to take the blame, and then doubt their selves about it, making that sempiternal cycle of thinking even wider, and more complicated. And they get tired.
Picking up her bag, she hugged her friend, whose life couldn't have been more than perfect at this moment. She had a job, a boyfriend who loved her frankly and a place to stay. Not a hotel room.
Mia was making her way to the dorm when she started doubting again. She didn't want to mess up. Because she felt like Jeonghan was someone precious to her. And he was. He isn't a person you want to lose, or declare as your enemy.
She stand at the doorstep. Taking a deep breath and cleaning her mind she banged the door. Right away, Dino opened the door, and he seemed surprised
"Oh hey Mia. What's brings you here?" He asked
"Jeonghan and his issues" she said
"I will give you a free ticket to our next show if you pull him out of bed" Dino sounded concerned
"I..I" her voice was shaking and a warm tear asked her eye before she could turn away and run. Running from your problems? Right
The boy immediately run after her. It reminded him of himself back in junior high, when he lost all his friends because of a rumor. A stupid, false rumor
Finding her walking back, he pulled her hand and forced her to walk with him.
"You can't chicken out. Not your style" he said and a small laugh escaped her lips
"I can't do this"
"You can do this. You can put a heart on by-pass and you can't talk to the one you have been crushing too? I don't think so"
"It is complicated . The only person that can get these things straight is Ellie"
"And she did and it turned out pretty well"
This boy is so joyful
//Mia's PoV//
As we reached the dorm, I felt my hands sweating and my heart beats increasing extremely fast
"He is upstairs" Dino said and gave me a "good luck" poke on my shoulder
I reached his room and knocked the door
"Come" he said. Oh god here we go
As I entered he gave me a deprecatory look.
"Why are you here?" He said looking back at his phone
"To check your medical insurance" I answered. You wanna play dumb, play dumb.
"Have I ever told you how funny you are?" The sarcasm is never ending.
"Okay, can we have some serious talk? Because I'm running out of time and I don't really want to leave this " I said pointing at him and his messy hair " like that".
"Sit" he said and showed me the end of his bed
I gulped at his point out but you either get this straight with someone or you go home. So I sat waiting for him to start. The atmosphere between us started to get even more tense.
"I sup-"
"I will go first" he cut me off "I shouldn't have started this. But I felt weird. You know" Wait he was nervous. Seems like I am winning this.
"Nah, I was wrong that I dated Jihoon" I said more happily and he lifted his head. He gave me a questioned look which, God, made him look more beautiful than before
"What, do you mean." He barely spoke, like he was afraid of the answer
"I mean" I started saying as I moved a little bit to his side "that I knew it was wrong. From the beginning" I said
"Why did you do it then" he asked. His voice like a whisper
"Distraction" I finally lifted my head to find him staring into my eyes as I felt my soul exposed and I let my hair fall to my face, so I could cover the redness. Suddenly I felt his fingertips on my cheek
"As I told you before, it's funny when you blush. But don't cover it with your hair, I can see your pretty face" he whispered again. Why you do this Jeonghan
With his hands still stroking my cheek, I wrapped my hands around his waist and our foreheads were touching. It was the weakness of the moment.
"I've been waiting so long for this to happen"
he said and our lips collided.
His light yet loud chuckles were breaking the kiss leaving both of us some seconds to catch our breath.
"Your giggling is music to my ears" I said and with that his kiss became even more passionate. But then I stopped. Completely blacked out.
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked worried. Then I felt a tear running down my cheek. I didn't want him to see so I pulled him into a tight hug. He hugged me tighter but that was enough for me to start pouring and trying to silence my loud sobs into his chest.

He started rubbing her back to comfort the silent sobs that made her body flicker even harder. He then pulled to an embrace that lasted more than she could remember.
"When you are read-"
" I am leaving for England" she said
He felt like he lost hope. He had been calling the Heavens to her. And now, even that little thing they had, that little kiss he managed to steal and the waves of emotions that agitated his inner peace, it all dissolved.
I should have said something earlier
He thought
"Don't be that sad. It's okay. You are going to meet someone suitable. I mean, I am just a flirt. I am always just a flirt" she said sniffing her nose
"No, don't say that" he said as he leaned forward to kiss her. But she cut him off
"Lets not get things too far, because it will be hard for both of us"
