I LIKE ME BETTER WHEN IM WITH YOU
following your conversation with taesan, you decide to write a letter.
a letter with everything you need to say.
you fold it, put it into your pocket, grab your keys, and start driving.
you find yourself at zicoβs dance studio, an unfamiliar yet familiar place to you.
you take one deep breath, reassuring yourself that youβll be okay.
you step inside - thereβs no music and most of the lights are off.
heβs the only one here.
heβs over by the speakers, cleaning up after practice.
he looks up, locking eyes with you from across the room.
he freezes, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
you walk toward him, clutching your letter tight.
βhiβ¦i have to tell you something,β you say, your voice quiet.
βokay,β he says softly, with a reassuring smile, βiβm listening.β
βi drove myself here!β
the words leave your mouth before you can stop them.
ββ¦wow,β he says, holding in a laugh, βthatβsβ¦great,β
βthanks,β you say, turning around.
βwhoa, whoa, whoaβ¦β
he catches your wrist, his eyes drifting to the paper held in your hand.
you hide it behind you back, βoh, nothing.β
his eyebrows raise, βnothing?β
a grin spreads across his face as he plucks it from your hand.
he unfolds it, reading the first line.
his smile softens as he looks back up at you.
βyβknow, if you want me to read thisβ¦β
he folds it back up and places it into your hand.
ββ¦i think you need to give it to me yourself.β
βumβ¦can you turn around?β
smiling, he turns around without a word.
you unfold the letter with shaky hands.
βi need you to know thatβ¦β you trail off.
the words feel wrong. too rehearsed.
he turns around immediately.
you look him straight in the eyes.
βi need you to know that i love you, myung jaehyun.β
βin the realest way possible.β
after a few moments of silence, you let out a small, awkward laugh.
βi guess thatβs all i came here to say.β
you glance down, beginning to step away.
suddenly, warm hands gently cup your face.
jaehyun is softly smiling, relief clear on his face.
βwoaah,β he says, dragging the words with a teasing grin.
βdonβt i get a turn to talk?β
βthe reason i went to yunjinβs room that night,β he begins, things brushing your cheeks, βwas to tell her that itβs over for good.β
βbecause iβm in love with you, y/n,β
βin the realest way possible,β he smiles.
you giggle, your tears spilling over.
for a moment, you stare at eachother, neither of you moving or speaking.
you reach for him, slipping your hands into his, his fingers intertwining with yours.
you rise onto your toes, and his lips meet yours.
the kiss is gentle, smiles present on both of your faces.
he pulls back, resting his forehead against yours.
βwait,β he says, pulling away enough to see your whole face.
βwill you be my girlfriend?β he smiles shyly, βlikeβ¦real girlfriend.β
a laugh escapes before you can stop it.
βyes,β you say, your smile growing, βof course, obviously.β
relief washes over his face immediately.
βgood,β he grins, βbecause i wanted to do this as your boyfriend.β
he leans in, kissing you again.
his arms slide around your waist, holding you steady as if youβd be gone if he didnβt.
he smiles against your lips, and you smile back.
for the first time in a long time, nothing feels fake, not at all.
