Twenty-Eight

"Hey! Be careful!" Hyemi exclaimed as Sanha was playing frisbee with Eunwoo and Jinjin.

They were currently at the park with their friends, having a picnic. Everything was going perfectly well.

She and Bin are officially going out, while MJ is having a not-so-secret-crush with Shinzi's sister, Jayoung.

Aera finally found his dad, but she was still in the asylum.

Minhyuk's mom finally forgave them, realizing that it was just an accident all along.

"Let him play, you sound like a mom," Bin said beside her.

"I'm just saying, what if he hits someone?"

"You're just nervous because he might hit Bin's head and he goes back into a coma," MJ laughs while eating a cupcake.

Hyemi furrowed her eyebrows and grabbed a fork, "Want me to stab you with this?"

Bin chuckled, lowering the fork. "What did I say about threatening people with kitchen utensils?"

"See? Bin understands," MJ said, pouting.

Hyemi nodded, "Threaten them with a real blade instead."

"What?!" MJ quickly ran off to Sanha after seeing the evil smirks on Hyemi and Bin's face.

Minhyuk laughed, "You guys really do make a perfect couple."

"See? That's what I told you guys!" Eunji said, getting her camera and taking a picture of the two, "Smile!"

"Minhyuk!" Bin called out as Minhyuk was about to head home.

"Bin?" Hyemi asked, letting go of their hands that were intertwined.

"I'm going to talk to Minhyuk for a sec," He said. "Wait for me by the park?"

Hyemi nodded, then left carrying some blankets they used earlier.

"If you want to hit me, just get it over with," Minhyuk said putting his hands inside his pockets.

Bin smiled, "I'm not going to hit you. Even though I have a pretty good reason to do it,"

"I actually have a reason to hit you too,"

"I'm sorry about Minseok," Bin apologized. "I didn't what came over me that night. Really, I am."

Minhyuk nodded, "I'm sorry about kissing Hyemi, too. And planning to take revenge on you guys."

"How about let's just forget everything and start off as friends again?" Bin said, tired of the drama.

Minhyuk nodded, "That would be great." They did a fist bump as Hyemi smiled, witnessing the whole thing.

"Did you visit Aera?" Bin asked. He was holding her hand as they were walking back home.

Hyemi nodded, "I told her you woke up."

"What did she say?"

"She said she was sorry," Hyemi explained. "She didn't want that to happen to you,"

Bin frowned, "Yet she brought a gun."

"It has really been a tough year," She muttered. "I didn't think I'd survive,"

"But you did. We all did," Bin faced Hyemi, pulling her closer. "The next time something like this happens, I'm not going to run away. I promise."

"I'm hoping that's not a lie,"

Bin removed some of Hyemi's hair from her eyes, "It isn't. I love you too much to ever leave you behind again."

Hyemi blushed, not looking at Bin.

Bin chuckled and cupped her cheeks. Hyemi closed the gap and they shared their first kiss again after two years.

After two long years – he finally has the girl in his arms.

After two long years – she finally got him back.

After two long years – you can see the genuine happiness in their smiles.

They've been through so much and they've waited too long for this moment to come.

Yes, some things are always worth the wait.
