Yejin's POV

I had another rough night.

And it would be the last one.

Maybe.

Right now, I'm resting my head on Haechan's chest, my arms around his torso. His left hand was on my arm. He pulled me close to him and kissed my hair.

"I don't want to let you go, but I have to.." I looked up at him. "For us." He gave me a small smile and softly kissed my lips. "Would you promise me that you'll love me harder?" He asked, which put a thick blush on my cheeks.

"Yes, and we'll be better people for each other." I sat down and picked up my clothes. I immediately changed to it and wore my shoes after doing so. I stood up to leave but Haechan grabbed my arm to stop me.

"What?"

"I'm gonna miss you so much." I let out a small smile. "I want to change my mind because this doesn't feel right. But it's like I can't make you happy at all." I looked down on my feet. "My smiles I show to you aren't fake, and those are for you because you are the cause of them."

I slowly pulled my hand. It slipped away from his grasp. "I love you so much," I cupped his cheeks and kissed his forehead. I pulled away and smiled down at him. "I was too late to realize that I have these feelings for you."

Haechan's eyes glistened with tears. "Please don't go." I walked away from him and glanced at him before stepping out of my room in the club.

"What the hell is he saying? We'll still be seeing each other the next day." I laughed, but it was fake.

I hopped off the car when Yeonjun stopped it in front of the school. The first thing that I noticed in the gates was Renjun.. holding Younghee's hand. I walked inside and they were happily smiling at each other.

I walked towards them and unintertwined their fingers. "Hey, hey, hey. Why don't I know this?" I raised eyebrows at the both of them and they chuckled. "What? Jealous?" Renjun teased.

I elbowed him. "Just tell me what's with you two." Renjun kissed Younghee's hair and the little girl moved her facial muscles because of Renjun's gesture. "We're together. Why?"

I smiled at them. "I'm happy for you two." Renjun looked at someone behind me and I knew it was Haechan. Renjun walked towards him and I heard them blabber, "So, you're not angry at me anymore?" Haechan asked.

"Dude, I got myself a girl!" Younghee rolled her eyes and looked at me. "You okay?" She knows what I'm going to do today. I shook my head. "No."

"Why would you let him go when you love him?"

"If we continue our that kind of relationship, we're not going anywhere. I don't want us to stop using our heads and just feel. We can work it out.. if that time comes." She patted my shoulder. "It would be in your and Haechan's hands."

Again, time went by so fast and the next thing I knew, it was dismissal. I went with Jay outside because Haechan might can't control himself again. We stopped at the gates and Jay bid goodbye to me. I waved my hand while he walked away.

"Yejin," I heard his voice. I turned around to look at him. He walked closer and opened his arms to try to hug me, but I took a step backward. "Haechan, boundaries." I reminded. He sighed and also took a step back.

I bit my lip as we stared at each other silently. "Look, before I leave, I just want to say something," I said. He raised a brow. I cupped his cheeks and kissed him. I pulled away after a few seconds and stared deep into his eyes.

"I just.. I love you so freaking much. I don't want to lose someone like you." He kissed my forehead. "Don't worry, because there is no one like me.. and I am yours." I kissed him again and later, pulled away.

"Would you say those words to me?"

"I love you. I really do."

I slowly backed away from him. "I'll see you again. No goodbyes." I walked backward farther from him. I flashed a small smile and turned my back on him, walking away.

Later, I stopped. I can still turn back, run towards him and tell him that I would stay. I would tell him not to be so much of a possessive type. I can still change things between us. We can still work things out.

But I don't want us to be in a cycle.

I continued on walking. I didn't glance back at him. Instead, I looked at the path ahead of me.

I'll come back for you.

Wait for me.
