Me and THEM

27: Stay and Leave

(A/N: Hongbin above! 😍)

"Yunji..."

    It felt so good saying her name again. Saying her name in this scenario- Yunji hugging her tight and he's caught in surprise. Yunji clecnched her fists on the cloth of his clothe and digs her face deeper. Jin can feel her shivering.

"Kajima... (Don't go)" she sobbed, her voice muffled against his shirt. Jin sighs and wraps his arms around her. She placed his chin above her head and closed his eyes. Yunji felt her heart soften when Jin's warm arms surround her.

"J-jebal...Kajima..." she cried, not letting go. Jin can feel his shirt getting wet because of her tears. He doesn't let go, instead he plants a kiss on her hair.

"I have to." he parts from her and holds her chin up to look st him, "You know I have to."

    Her tears roll down quickly when Jin tips her chin. She has to squint her eyes to see through her tears. She bites her lip and keep in the sobs. The view of her crying made Ji's heart ache. So badly.

"You don't have to." she forced, gripping his jacket tighter. Her heart is aching but she doesn't mind. Jin can feel something at the back of his throat. He feels the back of his eyes burning.

"Naega piryeohe (I need you)... You can't leave." Yunji says which makes Jin feel weak. He cups her face and wipes her tears. Damn he can't possibly cry too! He has to be strong. He has to.

"Is she Kwon Yunji?" and both their heads turn to the voice.

Jin's harabeoji.

"I'm really sorry about what I did." Yunji apologized for the nth time. She holds the cup of tea around her palms and let the heat wrap her skin. She hears the soft chuckle of Jin's Grandfather.

"Little girl, you should have no worries. You didn't do anything wrong," the old man puts his tea cup down, "My grandson did."

Yunji chuckled at Jin's worhtless reaction.

"So, you don't want my grandson to leave Seoul?" Mr. kim asked, meeting Yunji's eyes. She looked at Jin briefly before nodding.

"Why?"

"Because it doesn't feel right without him." Yunji truthhfully said and clasped her fingers together. Mr. Kim sweetly smiled at the girl infront of her.

"Okay, it's simple." Jin and Yunji watch Mr Kim stand up from the black leather sofa in his office and approach the glass wall. The view of the city wasn't appealing at day time but Mr. kim loved city views.

"I will offer you a deal." Yunji felt her system freeze when Mr Kim states this. His voice was auhoritative but full of gentleness. He sounded just like her dad.

"I will keep Jin from boarding to Japan," Yunji wanted to jump around and throw some confetti, "but the proposal from Eunbi's family must continue."

Jin quickly stands up in disagreement. His eyes, widened.

"Andwae! I'm not marrying that girl! Andwae!" Jin raised his voice. Mr. kim heaves a sigh. He knew he would say this.

"Jin, I'm not asking you to accept the deal." Mr. kim faces the young lady quietly seated on the sofa, drowning in deep thoughts, "I offered it to Yunji."
