Childhood Love

Chapter 23 (End)

(Nayeon's POV)

Everything was back to its original place. With my mum arrested and Jeongyeon back to my side. Though everything was back to how it was before, i still cant take the event out of my head. I still wake up crying in the middle of the night and i'm afraid that Jeongyeon is gonna leave me any minute. In other words, I've had a trauma because of that event.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone screamed from the rooms.

"YAH!!!  PARK JIHYO!!! COME BACK HERE!!!!" 

I turned around and saw Jihyo running away from a furious Jeongyeon. Jihyo ran towards the living room and hid behind me. 

"What's this going on ? Why is Jeongyeon chasing you ?" i asked.

"Nayeonie~~~ Jihyo is teasing me ..." Jeongyeon said with a pout and plopped down on the sofa next to me glaring at Jihyo who's still hiding behind me.

"Alright alright ~ I'm sorry! I don't want Nayeon unnie to kill me." Jihyo said while chuckling. I watched as Jihyo got up and walked to the kitchen, probably looking for something to munch on. 

I turned and look at the girl who's now resting her head on my laps. I was just staring till i felt a soft touch on my cheeks. "Why are you crying babe?" Jeongyeon asked as she sat up straight and look at me.

I didn't even notice that i've started crying but as she mentioned it, i fell into her embrace and cried harder. I've missed her so much and the nightmares of losing Jeongyeon still comes back to haunt me once in a while. I really cant afford to lose her, again. Jeongyeon held me tight in her embrace and caress my head while hushing me. She pulled away and wiped my tears away with her thumb. I look at her, while trying to stop my tears.

"Dont cry baby. I'm not going anywhere now. I'm here ain't i ? Stop crying now." she held my cheeks and looked at me fondly and kissed me on the lips. It was soft and full of love and i wouldn't want it any other way. She carried me bridal style to our room and tucked me into bed. 

"Where are you going ? Stay here with me." i mumbled as i tugged on the sleeves of her hoodie. "I'm just going to the toilet. I'll be back in a few." she said and left a kiss on my forehead. I turned around and faced the wall, tears once again threatening to fall.

I was about to start crying again when i felt a pair of hands hugging me from behind. "Dont cry baby. I'm here." she said and hugged me tighter. I leaned into her safe embrace and snuggle closer to her. It felt safe in Jeongyeon's arms and i never want to lose this warmth every again. We both fell asleep like that and for one night, i slept peacefully throughout the night without any nightmares. Safe in the arms of the person i love.
