“i’m not leaving,” she answered, following his gaze down to his hands. reaching over, she hesitates right before his hands and instead grabs his wrist instead, urging him to look up at her. he’s warm. jaehui’s always been warm. maybe that’s why she liked him so much. miru’s hands and feet had a tendency to always be cold, but he was just so warm all the time. “i missed… talking to you too.” she almost let the you slip, but she hopes he can read between the lines.
the breakup was hard for jaehui. he had never imagined falling for miru as hard as he had. she was probably the only person he had ever been in love with and he was certain that he would never love someone as hard as he loved her. the suddeness of it all too..that made things even harder. it was like they were fine one moment, and the next she was breaking things off. he understood why she had done it, but it didn't make things easier.
why had he asked her to come anyway? why had he thought things would magically change once they saw each other? why had he thought that once she saw him she'd want to try things again? it was stupid of him to have such high hopes.
"why wouldn't you leave?" he was sure his voice was coming off as harsh. like he was mad. and he was...but not at her. he was mad at himself for thinking anything would be different. "i can tell you're uncomfortable here. i don't want to make you uncomfortable."
the sudden touch to his wrist caused him to jump slightly. he looked over to her and nodded. "miru..." jaehui's voice was soft. barely above a whisper at this point. "you don't have to stay. i just wanted to see you. it was dumb of me to assume you'd want to see me too." he moved and placed his hand on top of hers before looking into her eyes. "i had this idea that...if we saw each other we would fall for each other again and we could make things right." he couldn't help but let out a soft laugh as he spoke what was on his mind out loud. "it sounds so silly now that it's out in the open..but i just really miss us."
