SpartAce: Eternal Love

Insensitive

Instrumental music is filling the hall, and its central part is filled with dancing pairs in waltz.

Ji Hyo has been wanting to escape the crowdy place but Kwang Soo has dragged her into the dance floor and is dancing eith her right now.

She glances up at his face and gives him a piercing glare. "Tss. I cant believe I'm doing this with you."

"Are you still annoyed of him? For making you pregnant?" he asks, his expression serious as he looks down at her.

"Yes."

"Why? That baby in your tummy will probably be beautiful."

"I know. But just because I love it it doesn't mean I'm gonna give that man a pass."

"You should give him a chance. Hyung misses you so much."

"That doesn't justify any of his actions."

"Noona. You are fully aware that the guy could never not love you."

"That doesn't assure anything."

Kwang Soo sighs in surrender, his brows furrowing as he stares at her. "I don't even know why I'm bothering to argue with you."

"What do you sup—!" She is cut off when Kwang Soo suddenly spins her around and slightly pushes her away in the process.

She is about to scream, panicked that she might fall down hard on the floor and hurt the baby, when she finds herself ending up in someone else's arms.

The warmth of his hand at the back of her waist, the beating that she feels under her hands when it lands over his chest, and the way he holds her close is enough to let her know who it is before she could even look up.

Her heart beats, so fast that she feels like throwing up again, this time for another reason.

She feels like finally getting home after a long time of being away.

He starts swaying both of their weight with the music, and she just lets him hold her close like that, feeling like she is drifting on air aimlessly, but she avoids his gaze.

She is afraid he might see everything she is feeling in her eyes. So she keeps looking down, at her hands rested on his shoulders.

"Ji Hyo-_ah.." He starts, his voice gentle. Her name alone sounds like a song in his voice. "Being away from you felt like hell. But I know you also had a hard time here. Im sorry it took this long."

Ji Hyo continues gazing down, resisting the urge to just wrap her arms tight around him and tell him how much she misses him.

"But it kind of helped, you know. Being away...it made me realize something." Jong Kook continues.

He takes a hand from her waist to hold her by the chin and make her look at him in the eye.

There, he holds her gaze, sincere and gentle and loving as he says, "That I really can't live without you. It has to be you. No matter what. You're the only one for me."

She doesn't even know why there are tears in her eyes when her heart feels so light and floating inside her chest.

She leans her head off his hand and hangs it low to hide her expression as she feels a tear run down her left cheek.

"You're really mean, Kim Jong Kook." She says in a low voice.

"I know." He fully acknowledges, sorry and guilt in his voice as she feels his palm press against her the left side of her face and his thumb wiping her tear.

She frowns, annoyed how easily her heart could forgive him despite the pain and hardship she has to go through alone in the past month.

She pushes him away and is about to run away when his arm coils tighter around her back, pressing her against him as he continues to sway them with the music.
