"of course i showed up. i meant what i texted," jaebum said, seriously, looking to the younger. youngjae looked down, not wanting to meet the elders eyes.

eye contact made his stomach churn more than it already was. he was already seated in front of jaebum, there was no way eye contact was a possibility. 

"if that's what you say," youngjae responded, swiping some bangs from in front of his forehead. 

"i mean what i say, theres no way to express how much i love you and how sorry i am. if i could go back in time, fuck youngjae, i'd tell myself how dumb the decision of ever deceiving you is." jaebum looked over at youngjae and saw him tearing over.

he let out a nervous laugh and whispered, "please don't cry."

"it's so hard not to cry when the person you love is pouring their heart out, and there's a war inside of you. your mind screams no and you heart defends yes, and holy hell it's tiring."
