my spartace and kwangmong heart:'

REPLACE PT.10

"Somin-ah, please talk to me."

Kwangsoo was giving her his rare puppy-dog-eyes, as he stared at her pleadingly. Somin felt her heart swaying a little, but at the same time she also didn't want to short-change herself anymore. She didn't want to be in this so called game with Kwangsoo; she didn't want to see Kwangsoo stare at her with pity. Heck, her plans of a flawless confession scene was even ruined! Since when did Kwangsoo grow a brain and catch on on her little crush on him?

So Somin just kept mum, and turned her head in another direction. However, as expected, Kwangsoo followed her and tilted his head where his face met hers.

Somin would've laughed at his little game, but she forced herself to hold it in and show she wasn't going to give in to Kwangsoo just yet.

Just then, Kwangsoo pulled a huge plastic bag from behind his back and forced her to hold it.

"...What's this?" Somin was puzzled at the sudden gift and she glanced at Kwangsoo in confusion.

Kwangsoo smiled brightly like a child and replied, "you didn't talk to me because you are on your period right?"

Somin almost choked on her saliva.

"What?"

Somin flushed red and opened the plastic bag to find thousands of sanitary pads ranging from various lengths and brands, and she even managed to dig out a heating pad for mensual cramps. Before she could express her bewilderment, Kwangsoo decided to speak.

"It's okay, I will try to understand how it feels like being a girl on her period!" Kwangsoo put on a mock-serious face and added, "I'll do my best to help you."

His face filled with such determination made Somin speak incredulously, "Kwangsoo, what-"

"Oh wait you aren't on your period? I thought I saw blood..."

"No, I am on my period but what the fck do you mean when you said you saw blood?!"

"Oh so you are on your period~ Also I didn't say I saw blood-"

"You just did, Kwangsoo!"

"Did what?"

Somin would have told him to go fck himself by now but she was laughing so hard until her stomach hurt. How could she stay mad at Kwangsoo? The little sweetheart had touched her heart with his little thoughtful actions. Random and stupid, but still thoughtful.

This was why she loved Kwangsoo. He never failed to make any conversation so fun, even if the topic was on women's periods.

Kwangsoo smiled in satisfaction when he saw Somin laugh.

For just a moment, Kwangsoo realized how Somin's hazelnut brown hair was like an angel's, long and wavy, reflecting the evening sun. Her smile was unusually adorable today, Kwangsoo noted as his gaze lingered on Somin. Also, Kwangsoo noticed, she's wearing a different lip tint today.

Somin felt Kwangsoo's gaze on her, and she stopped laughing immediately. Did she look stupid laughing? Was her mouth opened too wide and seemed too unladylike?

"Somin, let's talk." Kwangsoo finally became serious, yet his eyes were warm and gentle as they looked at Somin.

At the wooden picnic table, distant from the rest of the filming crew, Somin couldn't hear anything else and see anyone else but the man in front of her.

He was right in front of her, bent to reach her height as she sat on the wooden bench, brown orbs staring right into hers. His fluffy hair was bathed in the orange, golden glow of the setting sun which had cast it's rosy rays unto the green pastures, making the fairytale-like scene so captivating.

"Somin, I know you like me," Kwangsoo said, and Somin flinched at his directness.

"So why are you avoiding me?"

At his words, Somin had no logical reason why the tears started forming in her eyes again. "Kwangsoo- you know how I felt- you took me on dates and I was happy, but I don't want the reason for them to be due to pity."

"Oppa, I know that you're still in love with Jihyo, so I don't want you to force yourself to make me happy by pretending to like me. I'll do that on my own someday, I'll make you fall for me fair and square."

Somin was trying not to cry, but eventually she looked down, and crystal like tears fell onto her slim thighs.

"Somin... I still love Jihyo... But do you know?"

"It doesn't hurt when I look at her and Hyung. It doesn't hurt when they kiss. I love Jihyo, but you've helped me realize that loving someone means for you to make them smile and not to prevent them from being at their best.

"I'm not going to deny that I love Jihyo, and I'm not going to lie by saying she doesn't make my heart race anymore. But the most important thing is, Somin, you have helped me open my heart to accept this reality, and you have helped me realize loving someone isn't a selfish desire to have them for yourself, but in fact, it's the most selfless act of letting go.

"Somin, do you know what I would have done if you weren't here?"

Kwangsoo gently cupped Somin's damp cheeks and tilted her head to make her face him. Somin allowed herself to stare into the deep pools in his eyes, and immersed herself in the stare.

Without having to exchange any words, Somin and Kwangsoo knew what each other were going to say.

Thank you for being in my life.
