I walk out of the restroom, towel wrapped around my waist as I use another to dry my hair messily. I walk to the room where Jisung is putting on his jacket, noticing his eyes drop to my chest and I felt the need to cover up but I didn't.

Walking past him I said, "So what are your plans for the day?"

"Not sure"

I look at him and nod slowly. Throughout the night I was in his arms, there wasn't much talking as we just laid there and appreciated each other presence.

I missed doing that, just being in his arms. Soon he fell asleep but I didn't. I was afraid I would wake up to his side of the bed empty. Is it weird that when I woke up it felt like it was? Though he was there, I felt like he truly isn't here.

I try to speak up but was quickly interrupted by my phone ringing loudly, I walk to it but Jisung grabs it first. His face contoured into a displeased look. "Luca is his name?" He looks up at me.

I swallow harshly and grab my phone from his hands as the phone stops ringing "He's only a friend Jisung" I turn around and rummage through my dresser.

"A friend that had your dick in his mouth" His words were harsh, making me freeze and look up at the wall. "What a great friend he is"

My heart pounded and my vision blurred "Get out" I said in a little above a whisper. I turn to him "I said leave!"

He stood there and I wasn't sure if he felt regret or if he wished he had said more as he looked me in the eyes and nodded slowly before walking out of the room and soon the front door was heard.

I let out a shaky breath, but never did the tears fall as I turned around. My palms are flat on top of the dresser as I close my eyes, letting my head hang down.

-

I inspect the new flowers that just came in when Felix walks up to me with a smile "Someone's here to see you" His eyebrows wiggle as he grabs my shoulders and guides me to the front.

Luca stood on the other side of the counter with a tight-lipped smile. "Good to see you aren't dead"

Felix leaves to finish a flower arrangement and my eyes go back to Luca, taking a deep breath I said "Running a business is a lot of work"

"And no time for me?" He pouts jokingly and I roll my eyes "I was wondering if you wanted to get coffee with me?"

My eyebrow rose "Now?" He nods "I'm at work Luca, I can't just leave even though I am the boss"

Feeling hands on my shoulders, I look over my shoulder to see a smiling Felix "Oh don't be silly, I can handle running the place all by myself while you go on this cute little coffee date"

"It's not a date," I said to him and looked at Luca who had a smug smile "It's not a date" I repeated to him and he nods.

"Not a date, got it? Can we go?"

I bite at my bottom lip and look to Felix who nods and I swallow harshly, "Fine but I only have 30 minutes"

"I can work with that"

-

"Do you like running the flower shop?" He asks and I nod, putting my coffee down on the table.

"Yeah, I mean it was my dream so I can't complain now that I have it. Especially since it was a gift" I shrug.

"A gift?" He becomes confused and I swallow harshly, nodding.

"Yeah from my—my ex"

Luca chuckles "That sounded a bit hesitant" He sips his bitter coffee.

I let my eyes fall to the table "It's complicated"

"He's the ex you moved here for?" I look up at him "The one that things ended badly with?"

I lick my lips and sigh, nodding slowly "Yeah like I said—complicated"

I looked out the window as I now felt kinda bad that I was here with him. I felt bad that I was enjoying his company.

"You can talk to me Minho" I look at him and his eyes were soft "That's what friends are for right?" He smiles and I chuckle lowly.

"Yeah"

He sits back and sighs "Lay it all on me" I raise my eyebrows "Come on now, speak up"

I chew at my bottom lip nervously before giving in "Well for starters I knew him since we were young" My eyes wander away from him "I guess what I'm saying is it's just a little hard to leave when you love someone as much as I love him"

My eyes find him and he changes his position, his forearms leaning on the table "And he loves you?"

"I-Yeah"

He looks me over before saying "Then what's the problem?"

That's been roaming my head. What's the problem? Jisung was here, he was alive and I had him again but why didn't I feel that?

Before I could answer my phone rang and my eyes go on it. Guilt, it was something I think I've felt more often recently. Jisung was calling while I was getting ready to spill out all my problems to another male that I knew he wasn't so fond of.

"You can take it" I look up and I also felt guilty about Luca who continues to listen to me no matter how much of an ass I've been to him.

I grab my phone and press decline, turning off my ringer, and look to Luca "You never told me about your job" I give him a soft smile.

For the rest of the time we laughed and I found that Luca had great humor. He felt like a breath of fresh air.

As we say our goodbyes, I finally look at my phone to see a text from Jisung to meet him at a local park that wasn't too far away.

-

I walk up to the male who sat on the bench, his head was down but as I approached him he looks up.

"Hey," He said and I noticed the sad tone making me frown.

I sit beside him "Is everything okay?"

He looks at me and shakes his head "I'm sorry" He apologizes "I shouldn't have said that this morning, I was just upset and also a little jealous"

I look away and towards all the other people who filled the park. Some have picnics with their family or friends and some just pass through.

"I told you we were only friends" I look at him "That means you don't have to worry"

He looks at me and I felt as if he was roaming my brain as he asked "Where were you just now?"

"The shop" I lied "We been busy"

He nods and looks away, silent for a moment before saying "I'm happy you made a friend" I chuckle bitterly and he looks at me "I'm serious" and the look he has made me realize he was.

"But you hate him?"

"I never said that. I just... don't like the idea of how y'all met" I sigh loudly "You would be just as upset Minho"

He was right, I would be and that makes me a hypocrite. I look down and he grabs my chin, making me look at him "I am happy you made a friend Darling" He spoke softly "When can I meet him?"

I chuckle and push him away "So you can threaten him?"

"More like give him a stern talk" He smirks and I sigh lowly, missing this side of him. The softness in his eyes and how easy it was for me to forget this morning and the male I just had coffee with.

My hand goes to his neck, leaning into his lip and kissing him softly. It wasn't eager, just simple but still, it reminded me of the feelings I always had.

I pulled away and he gives looks me in the eyes "We will be okay Darling" He said randomly and making my throat dry up. "Are we okay?" His eyes filled with worry and his voice was almost anxious as he asked me.

I swallowed harshly and I nod slowly "Yeah," I said, giving him a small smile "We're okay"

He puts my face in his hands and kissed my forehead gently before pulling away.

My eyes wander around the park "Um—" I look at him "When will you speak with the others?"

Jisung looks down briefly before looking back at me "You really want this huh?" He gives me a small smile and I nod.

"Of course, don't you?"

"Yes but a part of me is still nervous" He sighs but tried to hide his nerves behind a small smile. "But, soon Darling, I promise"

I had this update in my drafts for a week. I completely forgot I wrote it... so here it is. Late but here.

Thoughts? I love hearing them after every 'dear darling' update haha
