You were laying on your bed the next day, your cast on your wrist and your blanket over your body. You were exhausted; you didn't sleep much after you woke up from the anesthesia, and you were basically up all night. You turned on your side just as your door opened, and since you assumed it was your dad, you didn't sit up.

"How are you feeling?"

You lifted your head at the sound of Hyunjin's voice, and you smiled weakly. "My wrist hurts a little bit."

He pouted and sat next to you, so you sat up as well. "At least the surgery went well."

His voice was quiet, and he almost sounded upset. "Hyunjin, what's wrong?"

He sighed and pushed his hair back. "I've been really worried about you lately, that's all."

"Don't be worried about me."

You ruffled his hair and he smiled a little. "I wish I could make everything better for you. I can't stop the marriage, I can't pull you out of your family business, I can't make your mother a better person, I can't stop the divorce, and I can't protect you. I was right there when Daehyun pushed you, and I could've stopped it."

"Hyunjin," you sat up. "You always make things better, and as far as Daehyun pushing me, you couldn't have known that would happen. He did it out of nowhere."

"I know, I just- I wish I could protect you from every little thing that could hurt you."

His eyes started watering, and your eyes softened as you cupped his cheeks. "Don't do that, Hyunjin. You'll make me cry."

He took a shaky breath as a few tears rolled down his cheeks. "I don't want anything ever hurting you, Y/N. I just want to make sure you're always happy-"

He cut himself off with a quiet sob, and you pulled him into a hug. You played with his hair as he cried into your shoulder, rubbing his back occasionally.

"Hyunjin, you've been the greatest person anyone could ask for. You're my person. You stayed by my side when I pushed you away, you've always supported me, and you love me unconditionally. That's all I could really ask for."

He lifted his head and cupped your cheek, leaning in so that his forehead was touching yours. "I've always loved you unconditionally."

You blushed and he leaned in, attaching his lips to yours. You smiled into the kiss and leaned back, pushing some hair out of Hyunjins face.

"You know what we should do?" You asked, wiping some tears off of Hyunjin's cheeks.

"What?"

"We should go on a double date with Yejoon and Taejin."

Hyunjin smiled. "That sounds fun."

You and Hyunjin slid into the booth as you smiled at your best friend and his boyfriend.

"It's so nice to meet you guys!" Taejin smiled. "I've been waiting for so long."

"It's great to meet you, too." You replied. "Yejoon talks about you a lot."

"He talks about you guys all the time too. He's always like, 'You, Hyunjin and Y/N are the best people I know'. It makes me happy to know he has such good friends."

"We're glad that Yejoon finally found someone who makes him happy." Hyunjin said.

After chatting for a bit longer, you all ordered your food and began eating when it got to the table. You had learned a lot about Taejin from the conversations you had with him. He was super passionate about having a family, he loved nature, he was completely in love with Yejoon, and he was a really sweet guy. It warmed your heart to know that him and Yejoon were practically made for each other.

"So, how long have you and Hyunjin been together?"

The question caught you off guard, and you looked up at Taejin with pink cheeks and a shy smile. "We're not together."

He raised an eyebrow. "You're kidding right?"

You shook your head and looked over at Hyunjin, who had a smile on his face. "We're not together at the moment, but we're getting there."

At your words, Hyunjin looked over and kissed your cheek. Taejin smiled and looked over at Yejoon.

"Good," Taejin started. "Because you guys look like you're in love."

You and Hyunjin were holding hands, as Yejoon and Taejin did the same, while the four of you walked through the city. At one point, you walked past a window with a video game display, and Yejoon and Hyunjin ran up to the window.

Taejin walked up next to you, and you looked up at him. "Do you think me and Yejoon will last?"

You furrowed your eyebrows and turned your whole body to face him. "Yes, I do. Why?"

"I just-" he cut himself off and took a shaky breath. "I feel like I'm not good enough for him, like I can't give him everything he needs."

"No, Taejin. Please, don't feel like that." You said. "He likes you so much, and I don't know if you guys have said 'I love you' yet, but I would say he probably loves you with all of his heart. You make him so happy, Taejin. You really do."

He nodded at his feet, then looked over at you. "Do you feel like this with Hyunjin sometimes?"

You pursed your lips and sighed. "I feel like I've put him through some stuff he didn't need to be put through."

"I don't think it's affecting him any."

You tilted your head and followed Taejin's eyes, where you made direct eye contact with Hyunjin as he was smiling fondly at you. His cheeks went pink and he looked over at Yejoon, who was grinning at him. You chuckled to yourself as Hyunjin playfully hit Yejoon's shoulder, and they both turned back to the video games.

"I think he really likes you, Y/N." Taejin stated.

You smiled. "I really like him."
