once i broke our eye contact to follow taeyong, daehyun held my free arm.

i'll never walk again until you come back to me i'm down on bended knees.

he sang yet again, didn't budge a bit. "im not going to move, nor stand up, hyerin."

"suit yourself." taeyong said and pulled me once again to the waiting room.

as soon as we got in, he paced back and forth, "im so sorry hyerin,"

i squat down and facepalmed, try\ing to prevent the tears from showing.

"i actually have to thank you," i said with a muffled voice. i sniffed and sniffed, "for all that you've done."

"are you finally accepting me?" he said in a joking way.

he had always told me straightly that he likes me but i always shrug it off, knowing that he was only teasing me.. but he's not, partially.

"im sorry."

"come on, hyerin, if you still love him, why don't you give it a go?" i look at him confused. "relationships are all like that," i pouted, "i speak from experience."

"you have a fucking girlfriend?" i finally faced him and he laughed his ass off. "what the fuck are you laughing at?" i asked, pissed.

"girl, you look like a mess." he said as he made his way towards me. "im knowingly fucked up today but yes, if she founds out, im dead meat," he said while wiping my tears in my cheeks. he then pulled me again in a soft hug, "you can do this, i believe in you."

i nodded as i hugged him back, swaying sidewards.

"let's go, it's closing time, its impossible he's still there." we took our things and headed outside to see the bar empty.

but daehyun and the guards.

the guards were trying their very best to not cause violence, as i sighed internally.

he still is kneeling like how he was a while ago, but his head on his knee that was making him balance.

"sir, please, wait for her outside," one of the guards said as he also sighed.

i looked at taeyong and said that he can head home now, without me.

and with my made up mind to talk to him, i walk to them.

i smiled at the guards and told them that i'll handle it.

"daehyun, come on, stand up." i said as i pulled him up, but then only to stumble on the floor with him. "are you okay?" i asked him with many worries, as he was not responding. "daehyun." i asked as i tap repeatedly his cheeks softly. "jung daehyun."

"you're finally here." he said as he smoothly shifted his position to hug me, while laying on the cold floor. "to be very honest, my knees hurt." 

"then why didn't you stand up?"

"you know i can't give up just like that."

"you're still as persistent," i said as i tried standing up but only for him to tighten his hug on me.

"im very sorry, hyerin." i stayed quiet as i let him continue, "i wasn't in my right mind back then. i thought you weren't happy with me. but when i saw you in the cafe that day.. still the same, with the tattoo. i had and felt a tinge of hope."

"correction, im working multiple part-time jobs to earn money and to remove this fucking tattoo." i cut him off and tried escaping his warmth again.

"i knew that but.. don't." i was confused for a while until it hit me. "i love you hyerin, forgive me," he said and sniffed, he is crying.

"daehyun, stand up," i told him as i put my hands on his chest to try pushing him off lightly.

"tell me if you're really dating him first,"i sighed in defeat as i was really tired. "please," i heard him mumble.

"we're not, now move." he finally moved beside me and laid on his back. i sat up and fixed my things that were pretty trashed around me.

i stood up, but daehyun held me again.

"i love you hyerin." he said with much sincerity.

i then felt all emotions fill me up, then finally had the urge to kiss him.

he intertwined our fingers as i just stared at him with tears in my eyes.

"im so, so sorry," he said then leaned in.

as we kissed, my hands were roaming on his neck and hair, while his were on my hips. i savor the moment and finally let go, and bear hugged him.

"don't leave me ever again with the dumbest reasons, jung fucking daehyun. you know im happy when im with you. you know all my time with you is worth it, and this fucking tattoo, oh my god, thank you for forcing me to do this, because without this, we'd never meet again and i'd die because of that." i said as i cry once again in his warmth.

"im so sorry."

"i still don't forgive you, but repay the years of hurting with so much more love! im seriously going to sue you if you make me hungry because of crying again."

"you seriously starved yourself because of me?" i nodded as a response, "you didn't lose weight though?" he said as he chuckled, heading outside the bar. i slapped him rather hard on his arm.

"but either way of your joking, i fucking missed you."
