Boyoung's heart was beating fast, while she was cuddling into the warm plush coat she was wearing. Her long dark brown hair was tied into a high set ponytail and she watched Ilva walk up and down in front of their table. The German lass seemed even more nervous than Boyoung was. 

Boyoung sighed. "Maybe it was a stupid idea coming to Beijing... How will he be able to come and see us when he's so busy..." Boyoung looked at the empty cup of coffee in front of her. "Ilva-unnie, we should head back to the Hotel it doesn't make sense waiting for someone who might not be able to come."

"Oh, shush Boyoung!" Ilva said and stretched her hands in the air. "I have no idea how you and Lucas kept sneaking out when you were still together. I know he will come. He promised you." Boyoung sighed. "He's your bias, so of course you're saying he's coming—" Boyoung got interrupted by a squeak coming from Ilva's mouth. "I told you so!" Ilva grinned and hugged Boyoung. "Good luck. I'll check out one of the night markets in the area." Ilva pinched Boyoung's cheek and walked over to the door of the coffee shop, through which WayV's Lucas just walked.

Boyoung bit her lip while she watched Lucas look through the coffee shop until his eyes landed on Boyoung. He took a deep breath and walked over to her, confidently taking the seat opposite of her. The two teenagers were quietly looking at each other.

No one really knew what to say.

When Lucas texted Boyoung and told her, that he was currently in Beijing, the girl and her "manager" Ilva took the earliest flight to Beijing and set up a meeting with Lucas. Boyoung had to see him with her own eyes, to know what she really felt for Lucas.

What she still felt for Lucas.

It had been seven months since they've broken up and no one was talking about the Lucas and Boyoung scandal anymore. Boyoung was still looking for a company that would take her, but currently, she was working in a tiny theatre in Hongdae, doing plays for children.

It was fun, but Boyoung missed standing in front of a camera.

She sighed when Lucas opened his mouth to say something, but no words left his mouth. 

He was star struck seeing his ex-girlfriend in front of him once again. "It's been a long time..." Boyoung finally said and Lucas looked up and nodded. Hearing her voice in real life after such a long time, felt like a pang to his heart. "I... I know..." He stuttered and looked at Boyoung. 

She was wearing a sad smile on her face and played with the empty cup in her hands. "Boyoung" the girl looked up when Lucas called her name. "I'm so sorry." Boyoung opened her mouth. "Don't be." She said and stretched her hand over the table to hold his hand. 

He was shivering when he felt Boyoungs fingers intertwine with his own. "I learned a lot after SM send me abroad. I made a lot of new experiences and met gorgeous new people. I also learned more about myself. That's why I left SM when I came back. It was my decision." The girl said and started to rub her thumb over his hand. "I thought we would reconcile or finally forget each other when I would leave. I didn't know they already sent you to China to promote with WayV." Boyoung continued and Lucas looked down. 

"I felt horrible when I read that you parted ways with SM. I thought I would never see you again." Lucas looked at their intertwined hands. "I'm sorry I dropped you when the scandal happened. I was afraid. I was anxious and selfish. I never thought about the consequences the scandal would have on you." He took a deep breath. 

His chest was aching and his bottom lip was shivering. "It's okay" - "It's not, Boyoung. I ruined your career, your future just because I was afraid of my own. Renjun told me how I have ruined your career. He told me females have it worse when a scandal like that happen. And only then I realised what I had done wrong. My bandmate Yangyang forced me to write you that text a few weeks prior."

"I should thank Yangyang then... if he wouldn't have forced you to text me we wouldn't be able to meet right now and talk through everything." Boyoung smiled, a warm feeling spreading through her whole body. "I couldn't even cry after you left me. There was so much more than just a heartbreak." Boyoung said. "I couldn't even experience a real heartbreak because I needed to live. I had to move away and try to live in Germany." Boyoung looked at Lucas. "But I missed you dearly. I missed the days we spent in Bali and hidden in empty offices in SM, kissing, hugging or just chatting... I missed you a lot, Lucas. You were my first love."

Lucas sighed. "I realised too late that what I said about us was wrong. I never regretted loving you. My heart was complete when I was with you. I was happy and bubbly when I knew you would come by the practice room late at night and we would make out in the corners, the CCTV wouldn't see us." He smiled at the memories.

"I miss that as well..." Boyoung said and looked at Lucas. "I wish we could do that again. Love each other, hold each other, be with each other... kiss each other." Boyoungs look walked down to Lucas' lips. He gulped, watching her stretch herself over the table, to get closer to him.

A pang in his chest, made him move forward as well — their lips only inches apart. He could feel her hot breath on his lips and she could feel her heart beat faster than an 808 drum. Lucas bit his lip, closed his eyes and closed the distance of their lips with a soft, sweet kiss.

His insides were turning upside down and he felt a million butterflies explode and reborn in his tummy. Almost automatically his hands went to hold Boyoung's face, deepening the kiss. 

Boyoung melted in Lucas' kiss. Her head was spinning and she held the edges of the table; her knuckles turning white. 

The intensity of their kiss made her almost lose her consciousness. They parted with a smacking noise which made both of them chuckle. Lucas held her hands. 

"I promise to not hurt you like this again. I promise." He said and smiled. "Can I be your boyfriend, Yoo Boyoung?"

Boyoung didn't need to think about this for a long time. "Yes. Yes, you can." She whispered and slightly kissed Lucas cheek, which made the rapper blush. "I love you, Boyoung."

"And I love you, Lucas."
