Pt 30

An hour passes with me continously sobbing. I often peek in between and see the guys pass by here but they never peek in the alley. Funny how they didn't once think I could be here but it's good. I wanna be alone. I bury my face deeper into my legs.

"I ruined everything", I say to myself.

"I hurt him and I ruined my friendship with Beomgyu", I continue as I let out a loud sob.

"You didn't hurt me", I hear a voice say that I immediately recognise as Taehyun's voice but I don't look up afraid to see him sad or broken. Afraid to face him. I will get reminded of everything. Why did I keep deceiving myself saying he didn't like me when he did? Why did I believe Beomgyu thought of me the same way? I'm too stupid.

"Nothing is ruined",he speaks again and I find his arms slowly surrounding me. He hugs me and his warmth fills up my body giving me some kind of comfort.

"I'm sorry", I say as I finally look up and lock eyes with him. He shakes his head.

"Loving someone isn't wrong. One or another was meant to be hurt. We can always forget it and move on", He says and I know he's hurt while saying these words too but he hides it. I keep quiet.

"You didn't ruin anything. Everything's fine", He whispers into my ears.

"But I ran away... From my problems. From what I cause. I even made you all worried. I'm such a wimp", I say.

"No you're not a wimp. In fact, I bet others would have reacted way worse. You're strong, smart, adorable and pretty",he says.

"I am?", I ask again.

"Yes you are. Now get up. Let's go", he says as he stands up and then forwards his hand towards me. I smile and take his hand as he pulls me up. He dusts the dirt on my clothes and is about to start walking when I take his hand. He stares at me confused.

"What?", he asks me.

"Start walking", I answer with a smile and intertwine our hands properly. He just nods and we start walking. We approach the cat and see the guys and Nora standing their worried. Nora keeps on glaring Beomgyu who seems to be feeling guilty. I hope he doesn't think too hard about it. His mental health ain't any better than mine.

"YEONHA", Yeonjun says as he runs to me. He stares me up and down checking if I hurt myself and then sighs relieved. The others come to me too and Beomgyu falls on his knees in front of me.

"Im sorry I hurt you but I'm happy with my girlfriend. I only think of you as a little sister of mine and nothing more or less. Forgive me", he says and I shake my head and pull him up.

"Don't blame yourself. Feelings can't be forced", I say.
