I look at the man standing in front of me. He was all drench from the heavy rain. Wet from head to toe but here he is, smiling stupidly while making himself stand straight even though he cant as he continue to sway left and right. He walk up to me, put his hands on my shoulder and lowered down his head to look at me straight in the eye.
"Annyeong Kwistal!"
I dont know if it his intention to make a nickname out of my name but all i know is that he reek of alcohol.
"I miss you. Where have you been? I really miss you."
He speak like a 4 year old kid and his eyes look really sad. I shake my head and immediately remove his hands on my shoulder. I then straight-face shove the towel to him.
"Dry yourself Kim Jongin."
He just suddenly arrive here in my apartment and he is already uttering things. I walk to get him a cup of hot coffee in the kitchen to warm him up when i suddenly felt his head resting on my shoulder and his hands snake onto my waist.
"Hey! Kai! I'm also getting wet! Go dry yourself."
I bawled but he didnt budge.
"What if I say she's just a distraction? A small little crush that could be gotten over within days of rejection? What if I say the person I like isn't her, was never really her, but was a cover up so I don't have to admit that I still like you?"
"What are you talking about Kai?"
I zone out. I dont know what to say. I dont even know what should i answer to that sudden.. sudden confession.
"I still love you Krystal. I still do."
His hug tightens and i can hear his faint sob. Without thinking twice, I remove his hand on my waist, face him and hug him. We stayed like that for minutes before I decided that we should change our clothes as we are both soaking wet. After drying myself, I walk out of my room and sat on my couch. He then get out of the comfort room and sit next to me resting his head on my shoulder while playing with my other hand.
"Thank you for making me feel safe in knowing that wherever life takes me, I can always come back to you. I can always find a home in you."
"Only my heart could tell you how much I love you Krystal. My words aren’t enough."
