Finding out

Why had I been so blind? All the clues were there, giving me the cold shoulder, barely reaching out to me, rarely meeting me, everything was there.

Or better yet, maybe I did know, at the back of my head I knew it was happening but refused to believe it, refused to accept the truth. I grew ignorant of the fact that he could have found someone other than me.

He's right there in front of me holding hands and being intimate with someone I don't even know.

He faced us as he kissed the person with him, I felt a rush of anger and sadness within me.

Before I could react any further a hand covers my eyes as hot tears falls down my flushed cheeks, another hand brings me to face the opposite way, leading me away from the heart breaking scene.

He brings me out of the amusement park and hails a taxi pushing me in gently.

"Bring me to a place where we can drink", I said to the taxi driver vaguely as I stared out into the night sky collecting my thoughts

"I'm taking you home", Donghyuck finally spoke with a certain tone I couldn't catch, most probably because I was so emotionally unstable at the moment.

"Please", I choked out and looked at him pleadingly, all I wanted at that moment was to release all my pent up emotions, my anger, frustration, jealousy, sadness, everything you could mention I was feeling it all at once.

He gave me a look I could not comprehend, was it out of pity? I don't know, he gave in,"Only because I'm with you".

"I knew it wasn't too far fetched, I knew he wasn't paying enough attention and yet I turned a blind eye".

I ranted to the innocent person in front of me releasing everything, the alcohol doing wonders, I never opened up to someone like this before. Donghyuck having to listen to all my incoherent words and cries, but he was always so patient and comforted me with words I wanted to hear.

"It's not your fault, I don't understand why anyone would want to leave someone like you", Donghyuck said trying to comfort me.

"But he did", my voiced cracked with sadness flowing within.

I drank one cup after another, downing the alcohol like it was water.

My cheeks started to feel fuzzy and I was becoming disoriented, I could feel the alcohol taking a hit. The surroundings started to blur, I couldn't think straight.

Donghyuck noticed my change in behavior as I stopped talking all of a sudden, he didn't even drink a glass so he was perfectly fine and sober.

"let's get you home hmm?", he hummed in a soft tone.

"Why do you bother with me?", I asked out of context.

He seemed a little taken aback with my question but that could have all been my mind.

"Because I care", he said casually and walked towards me taking my arm and bringing me up.

I had so many questions lying around but I kept my mouth shut as I started to feel sick.

"Why didn't you bring your car?", I said as we started walking.

The place we drank in wasn't too far from our area, we lived in the same neighbourhood.

"I forgot my keys when I came out", he held my hand to guide me when he saw how wobbly my steps were.

This action shock me and I tried to pry my hands off his but he held it tight.

"Just let me hold you for once".

"you're drunk", he continued.

"I am not drunk", I retorted but he gave me a quick chuckle and held on tighter.

"Like I would believe that", he replied and I pouted in annoyance.

We walked the remaining way in silence but there was no awkward tension. I felt safe with who I was with.

This was the second time he witnessed me crying my eyes out, and yet he never made fun of me, he sucked in his curiosity and let me open up about it myself, I didn't feel intimidated by him.

Contrary to his image in college, he was very soft spoken and a good listener.

"I can't remember my code", I said when we reached my apartment.

I frowned when I couldn't think of the 4 digit numbers as I put my hand on the locked door getting it wrong every time.

"Don't mess with me, how are you going to get in? Do you expect me to break down the door?", he panicked a little.

"Can you?", I asked in pure curiosity like a kid would have.

"No- that isn't the point", he said trying to dismiss the topic

"Then take me to your house".
