"You don't need him," Minseok soothed, his voice a quiet gentle whisper. His long, strong arms wrapping their way around your quivering body, pulling you into his chest, placing a hand against your hair and holding your ear to his heart, hearing it beat, like a marching drum, a quick and frantic rhythm.

"I give up, Minseok," you sobbed, burying your face in the soft cotton of Minseok's shirt, a warm scent of vanilla enveloping around you. "Why don't boys like me?"

Minseok sighed, his head heavy, eyes closed in grief. *When will you learn, _______* Minseok thought, his heart aching when he felt you snuggle closer. "They do, trust me, Jagiya."

Pulling yourself away from his chest a little, you wiped your wet eyes with the back of your hand and gazed up into his luminescent chocolate orbs.

"How do you know?" You said in a quiet and sarcastic tone. "You don't know what it's like to watch as the one you like falls in and out of love with somebody that isn't you."

His fingers combed through your hair, your eyes widening at the sudden and unexpected touch, but you soon melted into his warmth. "Yes I do." Minseok smiled weakly, massaging away a tear from your cheek with his thumb. "_______, can I ask you something?"

"You can ask me anything, Minnie," you giggled, playfully punching his defined jaw, his heart hammering at the feel of your skin brush against his.

"What would you think... What would you do, if I told you that somebody did love you."

You pricked up, your back straightening from your slouch a little to help you level your eye level with his. "Really?" You gushed. "Who?"

Minseok stared deep in your eyes, his gaze intense and unbreakable, you watching as his focus flicked from your eyes, to your lips, and then back. With a gentle, loving smile, Minseok held your cheek with his hand and mumbled one word. A word that sent your heart thundering and breath hitching.

"Me."
