|| I Don't Want Better. I Want You ||

[BREAKING] Block B's Zico and DIA's Heehyun had reportedly broken up - MBK confirmed.

This was it. Heehyun chose to end things as quick as she could. She asked MBK to tell the public their relationship had ended, before Zico could find her and talked about everything. Everything got out of Zico's control. The next few days were nightmares after nightmares. He couldn't go a step without the paparazzi surrounding wanting to know so much more about him and Heehyun. He couldnt couldn't her, he couldn't find her. There was no way he could contact her. It was tragic.

"Eat something..." Chaeyeon suggested. She started to get frustrated with Heehyun refusing to have something to fill up her stomach. Heehyun had been locking herself up in the room, crying.

"I'm not hungry." Heehyun shook her head.

"Then drink some water." Once again she shook her head. Chaeyeon decided she had had enough. Unexpectedly, she slapped Heehyun.

"Remember me saying you were the most intelligent person I've ever met? I take it back. It's you who wanted to break up. It's you who wanted to end all this. So what are you even crying about? Move on! Where do you think all these crying and locking yourself up in the room will get you to? This is ridiculous!" She yelled at Heehyun and stormed out.

There was no way to deny Chaeyeon was right. She did this to herself. What had she been doing in the past days? She turned on her phone. The first thing came was Park Kyung, a member of Block B, calling her. She didn't want to pick up, but her instinct told her she had to.

"...Hello." She answered the call.

"I've been trying to reach you! Zico, he has been drinking until he passes out. Now he's in the hospital and won't stop calling your name in his coma." Park Kyung spoke in a rush. "Please help him, he desperately needs you, we need you, Heehyun."

...

"Heehyun... I was wrong, please forgive me... I don't want to break up. I've never wanted us to break up..." Zico said unconsciously. He just had colonic irrigation and was now resting.

"He kept on repeating such things since we found him passed out in his room." Taeil spoke heavily. Heehyun came. She felt something painful in her heart to see him on the hospital bed, pale, lifeless.

She sat down by the bedside, her hands holding his as the members signaled each other to leave the room. She felt tears running down her face. Was her decision that wrong to lead to such consequence?

"Why did you do this to yourself, oppa?..." She spoke softly, her fingers slightly brushed against his cheek.

"I love you..." Zico mumbled. It felt like he acknowledged her existence, like he was conscious in his unconscious state.

"I love you too." She placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. She had never said she loved him before breaking up. She regretted it.

...

Zico woke up.

The first thing that hit him was her.

He saw his girlfriend. Or should he say his ex-girlfriend.

She was sleeping, with her messed up hair covering her face, with her hand still holding onto his hand.

Zico could still feel the after effects of the alcohol he drank bottles after bottles, days after day. He loved her for that much.

He heard her slightly whimpering. She woke up. She lifted her head and looked at him. Their eyes met.

"Oppa..." She called.

He didn't answer her. He was taking his time to look at her, look at the one he loved after a long while of not seeing her. Silence washed over them.

"Where have you been?" Zico finally managed to mutter some words.

"I have been at Chaeyeon's place..." She replied, not being able to look at his eyes. She was scared to face him.

"Was I...that bad? As a boyfriend. Do I embarrass you? Does my appearance, my existence embarrass you? Do I threaten you? Do I make you feel uncomfortable? " He came at her with questions, questions that she knew she would be answering no immediately.

"No..." She continued reluctantly.

"Then why did you want us to break up?"

"I...I..." She couldn't say anything. She didn't want to break up.

"It's ok. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force it. I just want to say thank you...for everything, for taking care of me the whole time, for loving me, for appreciating me. I thought I did the best I could. But I'm a bad boyfriend after all. I'm sorry for not being able to provide you the love you deserve." He told her the most sincere things he could ever say. He really loved her, with all he could. And he wished he could've loved her harder.

"No one makes a better boyfriend than you. I choose to break up because I'm not good enough for you. You deserve better."

Zico frowned at what she just said. His intense gaze on her made she felt uncomfortable. It was like he was investigating every single move of her, like he was reading her inside out.

"I don't want better, I want you!" He exclaimed. "Don't ever think you aren't good enough. Please, I'm begging you! You're the best thing that ever happened to me."

Her eyes were filled with tears. Was she really the best thing ever happened to him? Did she deserve to hear that?

"Hear me out." He cupped her cheek, wanting her to look at him, "You're the best when you're you, my girlfriend. There could be other people out there, taller than you, prettier than you, smarter than you. But I don't need that. I only love you. I love everything about you. No one can ever replace you, by any chance, any mean, under any circumstances. No one, alright?"
