“You’ve got to be kidding me!”
Jooheon got off the bed, looking around for his clothes that were scattered around the room. He glared at her as he pulled on his pants which he found on top of the dresser. Fumbling with the button and zipper he turned to her.
“After everything I said to you last night, you still push me away like always?”
Shaking her head, she sat up, grabbing his arm.
“Listen to me.”
She guided him to sit down beside her. He didn’t want to listen. Not if it meant they weren’t going to see each other again. Not if it meant she was going to break it off for good. He couldn’t see himself without her. Even if it was only once in a long while when they needed it. It was better than nothing.
She could sense the panic in his uneven breath. Turning him to her, she kissed him to get his full attention. His eyes stared into hers, unwavering.
“We need to end this, whatever is going between us.” She explained, “We can’t keep meeting like this Jooheon.”
Jooheon rolled his eyes, turning to go, but she held him back.
“I meant we need to stop fighting and fix up what went wrong so we can continue to love each other.”
Hearing those words were like heaven to him. Jooheon pulled her into his arms.
“Did you even have to ask.” He stroked her head, “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this moment.”
“But for this to work, you have to be honest with me.”
“And you have to stop being insecure, no matter what anyone tells you, you are perfect the way you are.” He planted a kiss on the top of her head, “Perfect for me.”
“I’m sorry for ever doubting your love for me.”
Tears rolled down her cheeks. She realized that what he said was true. She did listen to others way more than him. More than her own heart. That was her mistake for trusting people too easily.
“From now on I won’t assume anything without hearing your side of the story.”
“And I’ll never lie to you again.” Jooheon replied, pulling her down onto the bed with him.
Unless needed, Jooheon would never lie to her. She curled up to him and buried her face into his chest. Something that she missed doing for so long. She hadn’t done this all those times they met up between their break up. Pulling the blanket over her naked body, Jooheon held her. No dirty thoughts. No more needy make outs or angry sex. Just a normal welcoming snuggle. Because now they settled the argument. Now they have forever together. Or as long as they could love and cherish each other. For once she could shut her eyes in his embrace, not having to wonder if he was going to leave again. And tired from last night, she fell asleep soundly as he hummed her favorite song.
