---------------Taeyhung's  pov.------------

I'd been waiting two hours now and Lee was still in her room.
With every passing minute my fear of losing her grew.
I couldn't wait any longer.
I had to get in there.

I knew only one person who would get me in there. Namjoon.

I knocked at his door.
"Namjoon... it's me Tae!"
I yelled against the door.
It didn't take him long to open the door.
"Taeyhung stop yelling!"
He hissed while looking down the hallway.

"Namjoon I need your help!"
It bursted out of me.

He raised an eyebrow.
"What...why?"

"Soo theres a misunderstanding between me and Lee... I have to clear it up imidiatly. She went to her room and I waited two hours in front of her door but she won't open it! She cried and I can't stand it.. please I have to clear this up so that she don't have to be sad anymore..."
I begged him to help me.
I didn't knew what I should do without his help.

He sighed.
"No... you can't just break into her room like that...you would make things even worse...this is not about you. It's about her and you should give her the time she needs."

I frowned at him.
"Why did you broke into her room last Friday then?!"

He shook his head.
"That was a complete different situation."

I nod.
"Yeah but if I can't talk to her right now...maybe I will loose her."

His gaze was blank.
"Maybe you will."
He mumbled about to close the door.

I stopped him.
"Wait!!!"

He didn't even look at me.

"What's wrong.. don't you care that I might lose her?!"

He looked down at me.

"I lost her to a guy who treated her like dirt. But I let her go because I loved her."
He whispered.
Tears formed in his eyes.

"What...?!"
I looked at him at disbelief.

He wanted to close the door but I managed to get into his room.

"Tae please go now..."
He said facing the window.

"You have a crush on Lee...?"
I asked again.

He kept silent.

"Why you haven't told me that she was your crush...?!"

He turned around.
I could see the tears in his eyes.
"She isn't just a crush!!! Okay?! I love her but I try to forget her!!! But I can't because she is all around us the whole time! And it hurts me seeing you hurting her the whole time!!! What do you think who you are?! I might not be her boyfriend but I will protect her as long as I live! And I will  protect her even if this means that I have to go against you! And you can't just go around breaking girls hearts! Have you ever apologized for how you treated her in the beginning???-

I kept silent.

"See?! You didn't even manage to apologize! How do you want to be her boyfriend if you can't treat her like your girlfriend?! She deserves to be treated like a princess! You should appreciate her and keep her as long as you live! She should be your mission! And you should be the light in her darkness, the comfort in the bad times, you should protect her as much as you can! But you can't handle this!"

Tears were pouring out of his eyes and I was so close to burst out into crying too.
He really loved her. And he deserved her more than I do. I knew that. But what should I do... should I let Lee go..? It would break my heart.

"Namjoon...I- I don't know what to say...you... I... uhm.. she deserves you more than anything and... I think I will let her go so that she... can go with you."

He looked at me.
"But it would break her heart..."

He was right.
"What should I do now...?!"
A tear escaped my eye.

"Taeyhung wait for her and then keep her! And promise me... not to hurt her ever again."

He turned around again to face the window.
It really broke me to see my friend hurt like that.

"Namjoon... I am so sorry...I didn't knew that you loved her. If I knew it...I wouldn't--

"Taeyhung!"
He interrupted me.
I instantly looked up.

"Just do what I told you... keep her."

I nod.
"I will."

I left his room and sat down in front of Lee's door again.
I would wait until tomorrow if it's necessary.

2 hours later...

It was 11pm and It didn't seem like she would leave her room today.

I sighed.
But then I suddenly saw a figure approaching to me.

"Taeyhung... what are you doing in front of Lee's door..?"

Oh no... JACKY!

I let out a sigh.
"I'm waiting for her..."

She kneeled down beside me.
"Do you think that she will leave her room today?!"
She asked suspiciously.

I shook my head.
"No... but I will wait until she decides to open the door."

"I'm on my way to the party.. I thought you might wanna join?!"

I shook my head again.
"No...sorry. As I said. I will wait."

She smiled.
"It's sweet of you but she won't get out today anyway. And since you don't know what to do, you could kill some time and go with me..."

Well she wasn't that wrong.
Lee wouldn't mind since she hates me. And I had to wait until tomorrow anyways...

"Come on...like in the old days."
She smiled.

In the past, Jacky and I used to party all the time. We wouldn't miss one Friday. But since she left two years ago I couldn't stand it. It brought up to much memories.

I nod.
"Okay I will go with you."
She took my hand and pulled me with her.

In this thing she never changed. I can clearly remember the summernights of our past. The summer night party's were the best and I can still feel the taste of a sultry summer night at my skin.
There's no way that I could forget that.
