Hold Her Tight (Sequel To 'Let Her Go') [ON HOLD]

Chapter 3

I freeze at the sound of his voice..

How? "Y-You're.. No.. I-I'm dreaming.." I mumble into the phone. This isn't possible..

"I missed you.." Is he.. Crying? "H-how.. Are you alive?" I ask, my voice cracking.

"I managed to survive.." He says softly into the phone, a tear slips out of my eye..

If this is a dream.. I don't wanna wake up..

"W-where are you?" I stutter, afraid he'll say something I don't want to hear..

"Turn around.." I hear his voice..

Behind me. He's right behind me..

I turn around to see Wonwoo standing there with a small smile on his face. I run to him and hug him "Oh my god.. Y-you're alive.." I whisper.

He squeezes me tight "I'm alive.. I'm here, and I'm sorry for putting you through so much.." He whispers into my hair.

"N-no.." I shake my head and pull away enough to look at him, "its not your fault, what did she do to you..?" I ask, my eyes filled with worry that asami put him through hell..

"I'll tell you everything. Pick up your lunch and we'll head back to your place, okay?" He holds onto my arms. I smile and nod, making my way to the counter I get my lunch packed and walk with him to the parking lot.

He opens up the boot and puts my shopping bags in. When he's doing so I smile even wider at an old memory that feels like déjà vu..

"Funny how whenever we meet after a long time, Its always at a mall and you're always carrying my shopping bags" I laugh, he laughs along "I know right? Want me to drive so you can eat?" He offers.

I shake my head "I'm not that eager to eat anywa-" my stomach suddenly grumbles. I blush a deep shade of red, thanks a lot stomach..

He chuckles "I'll take that as a yes, get in" he opens the door for me then hands me my lunch. I smile and thank him as I put my seatbelt on.

He gets into the drivers seat and pulls out of the parking lot. "Google, navigate me home" I speak into the GPS.

The map back to my apartment pops up on the screen and Wonwoo follows it as I munch away on my food.

We get home not too long after and sit on the couch, I turn the TV on and minimize the volume.

"So.. What happened?" I turn to Wonwoo, worry fills at the pit of my gut as he looks down at his hands for a few seconds and takes a deep breath.

"Y-you don't have to tell me if you're too uncomfortable.." I say softly as I put my hand on top of his.

He shakes his head with a small smile "I'm okay, it's not that bad anyway" I nod and wait for him to continue.

"And then she drugged me with something... when I woke up, the doctors told me I was dead for 24 hours before my heart started to suddenly pump blood. It was a split second thing and they managed to save me.." He looks down ending his traumatic story..

Asami's a monster..

And so is my father..

The man I trusted all my life.. Let me down in a second. All those years I spent being a daddy's girl.. He loved me so much, how could he do something like this out of pure.. Greed.

I couldn't believe him, I refused to believe him when he tried making up excuses at court. I couldn't look him in the eye..

When they cuffed him and were about to take him away to prison.. He said he loved me and that he always would, but I just couldn't bring myself to believe him or even say it back..

Because as much as I loved my dad.. He's hurt me in ways more than one to earn that love and trust back in the skip of a heartbeat..

"I'm so sorry you had to go though that Wonwoo.." I hug him, his body tenses at the sudden skip ship but he relaxes and hugs back.

"I'm okay now, and I'm get to see you again" he smiles, its a genuine one.. It reaches his eyes.

Those brown eyes that I loved so much as a teenager..

After all those years... I finally realized how much I truly loved Wonwoo when he disappeared for so long, I missed him like crazy... But I was just 15, what did I know about love?

6 years down the lane and he and I are still friends, and I'm happy that we are. Even though I've known him for about 8 years and he's only been there for 4 of them.. I'm glad that he was.

"I really have to go now, its getting pretty dark outside and I have a few stuff to pick up on my way home" he gets off the couch and picks up his phone.

We've been eating, joking and then talking for 4 hours now? Woah.. Its nearly sunset.

Its not really late though, now that winter is setting in the sun sets at like 5:30.

I stand up and walk him to the door.

"See you around?" He smiles and I nod.

"Oh and if you're really bored, since you have the whole month off and all.. Give me a call anytime.. Even if you just wanna talk or want some company, I'm here for you" he smiles and hugs me.

I nod into the nape of his neck, missing him dearly..

"Be safe, text me if anything!" I smile and wave as he walks off, "I will!" I hear a distant shout before the elevator door shuts and goes down.

I walk back into the house and lock the door. I look down when I notice the roses lying by the door, dying slowly..

Maybe they were meant for me..

I grab them and find the biggest vase I can and out them in it, leaving them by the window so they get whatever amount of sunlight they possibly can in this winter.

Today went better than I expected.

I smile to myself as I make my way to the couch, sitting down and turning the volume up.

I think I'm starting to like this little vacation already.
