"Please stay." He begged, his voice cracking as the tears he tried so desperately to hold back streamed down his face. He grabbed her wrist instinctively, surprised that she didn't pull away. Her body shook with a sob, as she placed a hand over her mouth, her head hung low in a vain attempt at hiding her face. His heart shattered at the sight, suffocating on the pain of mutually assured destruction; she never had any plans to stay, he realized this now.
"This place is teeming with the ghosts of people I once knew. I can hear their voices in my nightmares, and when I wake up, they disappear." She whispered, looking at him with bloodshot eyes. She forced his hand off her wrist, intertwining her fingers with his. "I have to leave, or there won't be any hope for me. I can't heal in the place that hurts me. I need to learn how to deal with the resentment I have in my heart."
She squeezed his hand before gently letting go, turning to grip the doorknob. He felt like he may throw up right then, dark spots clouding his vision as he took panicked, shallow inhales. She cast him one last glance of pity, a raging war of adoration and detestment behind her eyes. He couldn't stand to look into them for long; it would surely kill him if he did.
"Please, learn to be okay without me."
And with that, she left, taking every last piece of his miserable soul with her as she went.
Namjoon led her to his room and shut the door behind her. To his surprise, she seemed unfazed by his actions. He grasped her shoulders and pressed her against the door, locking eyes with her. Once again, her gaze held that familiar warmth. "Why do you have this effect on me?" He demanded.
She held his gaze and replied, "You, too, have an effect on me, Namjoon. Your eyes speak to me. Your touch brings back memories of love."
Namjoon leaned further. Their breaths hitched and her fruity scent filled his lungs. The moment was silent yet exciting. His gaze ran to her lips. He realized that she had a mole on her lower lip. That mole seemed calling him. She was still looking at him as if she had forgotten the world around her. He touched her lips with my thumb and said, "Stay away from me. I might destroy you."
She grabbed his wrist and leaned a bit closer. Now, there was very little space between their lips. That moment of intimacy without touch is the most intense. He was hardly controlling himself. She said, "You are asking me to leave but those eyes, they are saying something else. Either you or your eyes are lying."
