MINE /hwabyul (under construction)

twelve

hyejin couldn't help but to hug back the older. somehow, both of them fits together like a puzzle. how byulyi nuzzled between the nape of her neck, like it was made for her.

"hey, i'm not going anywhere." the younger one rubs soothing circles onto byulyi's back.

the purple black haired gently hums in response. she likes how this is different for her, on how the younger one have this control over her. to make her feel almost protected.

the two stay like that for a couple of minutes before hyejin breaks the hug, looking at byulyi's eyes to see her look almost sad, infuriated, and lonely with something. "byul, what's wrong?"

"i'm scared." she looks down, away from the younger's gaze.

hyejin grabs the older one inside her place, closing the door so the two could have some peace, at least for her. "come sit."

both taking a seat on the black haired girl's bed, byulyi is reluctant on letting out her thoughts.

"what if i lose everything i've been working my ass off for?" she breathes deeply. "what if i lose you?"

hyejin's eyes squint almost, asking her. "why do you think you'll lose everything."

"my past out of nowhere decides to pop out." the older dryly laughs. "it's almost funny."

nodding, the younger grabs byulyi's hand.

"at first, i wanted to earn her back you know?" byulyi looks back. "to prove her wrong for cheating on me but as time pasts, all the things i've dug up on her leaves me nothing but anger for her."

"your wife?" hyejin's heart quietly shatters at the word "wife", but she's strong.

the older furrows her eyebrows. "what wife?"

"the one who called me yesterday."

at those words, byulyi loses it. clenching her jaw, her grip on hyejin's hand tightens. "hyejin-ah, don't let me out of your sight, please."

and so the day goes on. the two having their soothing talks with one another being understanding. it did get down a rocky road where one cried and the other comforting her.

"whatever happens, i will be there to protect you, from anything to anyone." hyejin softly fixes the older's hair, giving her forehead a small kiss.

covering byulyi up with the blankets, she smiles. happy that the two were able to talk everything out and it made the both of them to go pass the small barrier between them, making them one step closer to one another.

for her, at least.
