호시
"It's nothing really,"
you say, as you use your hand to gently rid your face of any more unwanted tears.

I look at you.
But you won't look at me.

Our eyes don't meet, and I can only imagine what would happen if they did.

"Nothing or not, talk to me about it, Jihoon."

우지
I bite down on my already swollen lip, swallowing down tears that still want to fall.

These tears won't fall for you, Soonyoung.

Like I did.

"He hurt me," I say, grimacing at how bitter it tastes.

And that's when I realize, I won't get hurt, I won't cry in the future, if I won't sell my heart, my soul, for temporary happiness.

For you.

I scoff underneath my breath.

Who am I kidding?
I'm Lee Jihoon.

A boy who can't control his feelings.
A boy who goes by the motto,
"Follow what your heart tells you."

A boy who'd rather feel years of regret and pain, than to miss a day of butterflies and smiles with you.

There's no turning back now.
