AN: you guys deserve this chapter.

The next morning, I almost still couldn't believe it was over. The hard times.
Him ignoring me.
Not being able to be close to him.

I wouldn't let go of him yesterday, so he ended up staying the night in my room.
Probably also because I couldn't stop crying.
But I only cried because I was happy.
He was probably used to me crying all the time anyways.

He was still sleeping, and I didn't want to wake him up.
He looked so perfect.
And like last time, his shirt was a little pulled up, reviling some of his abs.

Was he doing this on purpose?
I suddenly felt the urge to pull it up more.
But maybe this was a trap.

I poked his cheek, and he didn't react.
But he could be faking it.

But I had to try again. It almost felt like a challenge.
I carefully held his shirt, and pulled it upwards.

He.. he didn't wake up!
I finally did it.
Woah.. his abs.
Something I never thought I would see again, other than the 50 pictures I had of them in my phone.
- this feels very familiar.
Hongseok said.

Oh my god.
He was awake.

I quickly got away from him, and realized, I was gonna fall out of bed this time too.
But I didn't.
Because Hongseok made sure I didn't.
- you're making me crazy.
He said.
- I didn't do anything..
I said.
Not that he would believe that.
- you know what happened last time. Are you sure you can take it?
He asked, and laughed.

I know what he was talking about.
- I swear to god I you take of your shirt..
I started saying.
But he had already taken it of.
- you love this don't you? Exposing yourself?
I asked.
- only to you.
He said.

This was making me crazy.
I wanted him to see me too.
Not all of me..
but just.. enough.

- what are you doing?
He asked me, when I started taking of my top.
I didn't answer him, I just continued.
But then he just looked away.
- please look at me.
I said.
- I can't..
He said.

Did he.. think I was ugly?
- you look, so.. fragile.
he said.
- what?
I asked.
- did you stop eating again?
He asked me.
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
I said.
- it's my fault. Isn't it?
He said.

Wait.. is he crying?
- I did this to myself.
I said.
- please don't cry.
I said.
- don't tell me what to do.
He said, but at least he started laughing.
- can you just, hold me now.
I said.

He embraced me, and it felt so good.
I had missed him.. so much.
I know I only lost him for a few days.. but it had felt like years.

- Yerin, I'm going to the store do you need anything?
Seunghee said, as she suddenly opened my door.
- oh my god..
She said, as she saw us.
And then she started laughing.

• Hongseok's POV•

I really didn't expect someone would walk in on us.
So when Seunghee did, and started laughing, I quickly covered Yerin with the covers.

I hope she didn't think this was more than it was.
- I'm leaving the apartment.. I'll might not be home for a few hours.
Seunghee said, and left the room.
I could still hear her laughing.
- I'm so embarrassed.
Yerin said.

- I hope you don't think I'm trying to do something.
I said.
- I know you're not like that.
She said.
- so why did you run?
I asked her.
- what do you mean?
She asked me.
- that day.. In my bedroom.
I said.

- because sometimes I want to do...it, but then I change my mind.
She said.

I knew what she was talking about. And I knew it made her nervous.

- sometimes.. I also want to do it.
I said.
- do you want to do it now?
She asked me.
- no.
I said.
- me neither.
She said.
- let's just wait until we get married.
I told her, and kissed her forehead.
- don't mess with me.
She said.
- I'm not planning on leaving you. Ever.
I said.

And I meant it. I couldn't imagine living my life with anyone else than her.

- I don't want you to ever leave me.
She said.
- I love you.
I suddenly said.

Wait.. was this really how I planned it?
I guess it didn't matter how and when I said it.
Because I did love her.

- I know it's to soon but I just had to tell you how I feel.
I said.
Then she started crying.
Oh no..
Maybe I shouldn't have told her. We had only dated for a few weeks.

- I love you too.

• Yerin's POV•

It almost felt like a dream. Just a few weeks ago, I was only a stalker.
And those feelings was never real. It was only an obsession.

But now, everything was real.
My feelings was real. And strong.
I didn't even know if I deserved it.
- I'm so happy I told you.
Hongseok said.
- do you really think we'll be together forever?
I asked him.
- Yes.
He said.

My heart was going crazy, beating so fast. But I didn't mind.
- why does your heart always beat so loudly?
Hongseok asked me.
Because of you..
- I don't know what you're talking about.
I said.
- just feel my heart.
He said, and took my hand.
Then he placed it on his chest.
- this is normal.
He said.
And then he placed my hand on my own chest.
- this is not normal.
He said.
- I've been like that.. for a while.
I said.
- when did it start?
He asked me.

When I met you.

AN: I looooove this chapter so much.
I love this happiness.
But how long will it last?
Life will always test you.

And after all, I love misery almost more than happiness.
