Together As One

Half of my life is yours

[Wheein's POV]

After we wrap things up properly, we return to our waiting room where Dohoon oppa was waiting for us.

"So... how was it?" He asks cautiously, unsure of the situation.

"It went okay. I think..." Hyejin replies with a small voice.

The rest of us nod our heads and I squeeze Hyejin's hand. I'm proud of her. It must have taken her so much courage and determination to share her struggles with our moomoos.

"Okay... then... I'll just have a word with Yongsun and Byulie, Wheein and Hyejin, yall just follow Manager first. Take care of each other yeah?" Dohoon oppa says as we bow and walk away, trailing after Manager unnie.

"I've cancelled both your sessions with Dr Lee for today. Let me know when y'all are feeling up for it again. I didn't think it would be too good for yall to go today... unless yall want to?" Manager unnie asks us when we've entered our car.

"It's fine. Thank you and sorry unnie..." Hyejin says with a small voice again.

I close my eyes and try to relax for a moment while waiting for our unnies to finish talking to Dohoon oppa. Suddenly, I felt a warm hand holding mine. I open my eyes and found myself being greeted with the most pure and angelic pair of eyes in my entire life.

"Thank you." She mouths without making a sound as she rubs her thumb over my hand. I can't help but smile at how amazing she looks.

"I'll always be there for you Hyejin ah..." I whisper in response.

I remember how she was there for me the entire time when I was feeling so down. When I felt like dying was so much easier than living on. When I felt like I couldn't take it anymore. She was there. And now. I wanted to be there for her in the same way as well.

I lean my head on her shoulder and played with her hoodie covered arm. Her arm was always so skinny. Not that I was surprised, after all among us members, she was the one who always lost in arm strength games.

While using her arm as a piano, I softly hummed our song 'Star Wind Flower Sun' and I could hear Hyejin humming along with me, trying to harmonize. A few minutes later, we saw Manager unnie getting out of our car and closing the door shut. The vehicle was completely silent except for the our peaceful breathing sounds.

"Wheein ah..." Hyejin starts and I get off her shoulder to look at her.

"Yeah?" I softly reply, urging her to go on.

"I think... I think, we can get better. I can feel it. For the first time since the start, I feel this surge of calmness in me. Like, it's like something in me that says, as long as I have you Jung Wheein, I can get through anything." Hyejin starts to sniffle and I blink rapidly to try and keep my tears in my eyes. She pauses for a moment before continuing.

"And... and there is something in me that tells me, I can be assured that all my broken pieces are with you. And likewise, yours are with me. All my life, I've been a fool, not realizing how lucky I am to have you... thank you for being my other half in my life... for keeping half my life with you."
