Love me right [an EXO Suho story]

Chapter 3

Their encounter in Berlin left them both with an awkward feeling.

Emma finally admitted to herself that she fell in love with him from the first time she saw him. She didn't want to talk to her brothers about this, because she knew that they would ship them as a couple, and that just couldn't be real. She wanted to keep it all to herself. In the first days after coming back to Seoul she didn't answer any of his texts. She did not have the courage to talk to him again.

Junmyeon was worried seeing that she didn't answer any of his texts. He thought that he did something wrong back in Berlin. He even regretted hugging her, thinking that this might have driven her away. He even thought that she had someone, and she didn't want to make him jealous. After a few more days he decided to send her a text asking her to forgive him for whatever he did wrong, and assure her that he really cared for her friendship.

Emma's heart broke when she read his message. Why would he think he did something wrong? She started crying, hugging her phone.

- You did nothing wrong baby, it's me...I just....can't do this anymore, I love you too much. I would want to be your friend, but I don't think I can. It hurts too much. It hurts seeing or talking to you without being able to tell you how I feel.

She decided to answer his text, feeling sorry to know that he felt bad. She told him not to worry, he hadn't done anything wrong, and that she only had a difficult time in her life.

He was worried when he read her text. He wished he could do something to comfort her, to make her smile. He felt like he wanted to fly to New York right away just to hug her. He answered her message saying that he would do anything to make her feel better.

Emma cried again seeing his message, and then she fell asleep hugging her phone.

After a while her phone rang. It was her brother.
- Hey Han, what's up? Don't make me worry, why are you calling at this hour?
- We broke up.
- What??
- We finally broke up. I had to admit that this is what I wanted. Sorry for calling you right now, but you are the only one to whom I can talk and who knows the whole story. I...I feel relieved to be honest.
- Ahhh, ok, may I say what's been on my mind for a long time? Even if you might get angry?
- Shi mei mei.
- I did like her before, but after seeing you being so miserable I understood that she couldn't make you happy. So please don't regret this, you have no reason to. Let's go on a healing trip together, what do you think?
- Together? Healing? Wait, why do you need this? What happened between you guys?
- Nothing, that's the problem. Look Han, I have to admit this, I love him.
- I already knew that!
- But even if I admit this, it does not help. I need to do a trip alone, if not with you guys. Somewhere far, just hoping that I can forget.
- You can not forget what you love, you know that. Take some time to think maybe, but I believe that you should tell him how you feel. Even if he does not feel the same. But I think he does. Just trust me for once.
- Bye, stop with the nonsense.

She shut off her phone, and went back to sleep. The next morning she decided to book a trip to Hawaii, to see her dear friends there. She randomly texted Junmyeon over the following days. He told her that he was going on a trip with his parents and that he hoped to get some peace there. He still didn't tell her about his job, nor did she tell him that she knew him. They were both hiding things from each other.

Emma couldn't wait to get to Hawaii. She missed her friends, and she wanted to enjoy the peace  in that area. She wanted to enjoy the breeze of the ocean. And the warm sand. The beautiful sunset that only these little islands had.

She loved to spend time there. It was the first time she was going to Hawaii alone. Before going to see her friends, she wanted to spend some time alone. She booked a hotel in Oahu with the intention to spend a few days there. She enjoyed walking on the beach during the night, when no one was there.
