Summary: Your relationship isn’t going really well and you need a shoulder to cry on. (Request)
You opened the door and let Yunho in your apartment. You were really thankful that he took the time to come as soon as you texted him. You weren’t feeling really well and you really need someone to talk to. Yunho was one of your closest friends and he was always there for you, so you had decided to write to him. You weren’t the type to talk about your sadness to others, but you just couldn’t keep it bottle inside you anymore. Work was being really hectic and stressful since you got a new boss. He would give almost all the work to you while he didn’t give any to your coworkers which was really unfair. You couldn’t protest because you couldn’t afford to lose your job right now. In top of that, your boyfriend was being really secretive and you had the intuition that he was cheating on you. You couldn’t say for sure, but he was always on his phone and smiling to himself. You felt like your relationship wasn’t really going well. It wouldn’t be the first time he would cheat on you, but he had promised you that he wouldn’t do it again. You thought he loved you, but you weren’t sure anymore.
Unfortunately, you still loved him like the first day and it was hard to accept the fact that he might not be feeling the same.
“What is going on?” Yunho gently ask you as you serve him a drink.
“Work is terrible… I just can’t stand it anymore. I feel like I’m going to break down any minute now.” You sighed before taking a sip of your drink. “And… I think Jay is cheating on me again.” You added almost in a murmur.
Yunho didn’t say a word, but you knew exactly what he thought. The first time Jay cheated on you, Yunho was the one to help you stand up again. However, he also advice you to break up with him. He didn’t trust Jay. He never did actually.
“What are you planning to do?”
Heavy silence was filling the room. You both couldn’t look at each other and stared at your drink instead. You knew Yunho didn’t like Jay, but you couldn’t help your feelings. You love how Jay smiled at you; you loved how he always called you “sweetie”. He always cheered you up. You knew your relationship wasn’t going well at the moment and that he wasn’t treating you like he did before, but you couldn’t help but to hope that it would go back to how it was.
“I feel like… I’m not good enough for him.” You broke the silence as your voice cracked and a tear slowly rolled on your cheek. “If I was good enough, he wouldn’t search for someone else right?”
Yunho gently held you in his arms. It was breaking his heart to see you so hurt because of a jerk. You deserved so much more. He held you tight and let you sob on his chest. He knew that there wouldn’t be any good word to comfort you right now. But he was there for you. He wished he could take your pain away, but his own heart was already torn by the pain of an unrequited love.
He loved you so much, but you never saw him like that. He didn’t know if you ever realized that he had feeling for you and choose to ignore it, but it was hard to see you hurt because of a jerk who didn’t know your worth. Hell, he wished you could see how wonderful you were. Your sobs finally quiet down and he let you go. He took you by the shoulders and stared at your teary eyes.
“He is the one who isn’t good enough for you. You are a gorgeous, funny, smart, brilliant, hardworking girl. Don’t let someone tell you otherwise.”
“You could describe anyone with these words. I’m not special or anything.” You replied, not convinced by his words.
“I don’t know any other girl who would secretly leave home cooked meal for their friends who don’t have time to cook even though you don’t even have time yourself. I don’t know any other girl who would take the time to go see the timid girl at a meet up just to make sure she feel at ease. I don’t know any other girl who would literally run to his friends’ place when they need you even though it’s late at night. I don’t know any other girl whose smile makes everyone’s day better. You are special ______. You are special to me.”
Yunho was so serious that you felt your cheeks turned a shade of red. You never knew he felt this way about you.
“Yunho… Do you…?” You asked, scared to hear his answer.
“I do. I love you ______.” He answered honestly.
Your heart was beating so fast that you felt like he would burst out your chest. You couldn’t look away from Yunho.
“It’s okay if you don’t love me back, but please… Break up with him. You deserved better than him.”
You were confused. You felt like when Jay told you he loved you the first time. This bursting feeling of joy that make your heart thump. It had been so long since you felt like this… Maybe you didn’t like Jay anymore. Maybe you needed someone who would make you feel special.
“Do you think I… I could be good enough for you even though I kept hurting you all this time?”
You could barely see the flash of joy on Yunho face before he crushed you against his chest in a hug.
“I want to kiss you so bad right now.” He whispered in your ear. “But I want you to make sure you clear your mind before. I will wait for you. Just know that you will always be good enough for me. ”
