SOOBIN | 10 Things I Hate About You ✓

fifty

soobin anxiously waited for aera at the Tenth Stop. he couldn't help but feel nervous as he waited for her to arrive.

cherry blossoms were blooming that month of winter. soobin felt a certain calmness in his heart as he admired the serene beauty.

soobin stood leaning against their tree that they engraved their initials onto.

a small smile formed onto soobin's lips as he recalled one of their many cliché moments together.

soobin wished he could turn back time. he wished he could've read in between the lines instead of assuming so quickly.

he wished many more things as soon as he caught a glimpse on a familiar silhouette walking towards him.

soobin gulped nervously but kept himself composed as he came face to face with the girl he loves.

aera stood facing him, stopping in her tracks as she maintained a distance between her and soobin.

the pair stood in awkward silence, the cold atmosphere adding onto the tension.

"i know you won't start this conversation so let me-"

aera was interrupted when a paper ball was thrown at her from the one and only soobin.

"real matur-"

"stop talking before you start rambling. just read it," soobin implied simply as he motioned for aera to read the crumpled piece of paper.

aera huffed out in annoyance but was taken aback as soon as she realised what was written on the paper.

10 things I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love about you
by choi soobin

I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love the way you talk to me
and the way you make me smile.

I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love the way the sun shines on you
and the way your features glow.

I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love it when you stare at me with those beautiful eyes.

I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love your obsession with bread
and the way you eat it adorably.

I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love the way you fit perfectly in my arms and the way you scrunch your nose.

I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love how you make me feel warm
throughout the days when I'm cold.

I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love it when you're n̶o̶t̶ around,
even w̶o̶r̶s̶e̶ better when you don't have to go.

But mostly, I h̶a̶t̶e̶ love the way that I'm still in love with you.

Park Aera, I'm not good with expressing my feeling in reality and I'm sorry for that.

I found this piece of paper crumpled in my bag yesterday night.

There are obviously plenty more reasons as to why I love you but these are the reasons that remind me why I fell in love with you.

This is cheesy, I know.
I'm a literature student anyways.
(still hate it by the way)

I've come to realise that you make me want to do better for myself.

Especially for you.

I'm sorry for our past and present, I should've been a better person for you and to you.

aera looked up from the piece of paper with the widest smile on her face as she leaped into soobin's arms.

soobin encircled his arms around her waist as he buried his head into the crook of her neck.

"i hate you choi soobin," aera sniffled as she embraced him tightly.

soobin chuckled lightly before pressing a soft kiss on aera's forehead.

"can we try again?" soobin asked softly as he wiped away aera's tears.

aera smiled before pecking a kiss on soobin's lips, causing the taller boy to blush.

"let's try again,"
