Seol lets down
the weight
from her shoulders,
opens her legs,
closes her eyes
and feels most
like herself
when she's with
her Taehyung.

and it puts
Seol's mind
more at ease,
knowing
he's thinking
about her too.

she didn't open
the door
when he came
knocking,
pleading to talk.
but she heard him,
speak outside.

his head leant
against the closed door,
closed fists,
teary eyes,
knocking gently
enough for her to notice-
that he was
missing her,
wanted her
and needed her.

"i miss you."
Taehyung sighed.
"and i'm sorry.
i should've known
you weren't
going to open
the door."

"but i was hoping
you might.
i don't want a break.
i want you,
this time
with us,
with each other."

"it's precious Seol.
what we have,
is what we need-
please i-"

"i love you."
