Sigh. “He cares.”

“A blind person can tell he doesn’t give a damn about you.” This time his voice noticeably went higher and there was an underlying insistence.

Glare. “Shut the fuck up! What do you about us, huh? You don’t know our relationship, you don’t know him,” she almost yelled at him.

Annoyed, she walked away from him. He was getting on the peak of her nerves for her to stay.

Deep inside, she was aware that Jaejoong’s words were nothing but the honest truth. But she had unfortunately forced herself to plunge into an ocean of denial. Even when his actions proved the obvious, she still chose to believe whatever bull that was thrown at her. She could not help but to hang onto a blind faith.

But then again, when is one not a fool when love chimes in?

“Yah!” Jaejoong’s frustrated voice called after her.

Why.

Why did Sunye always make him go crazy?

Why did he care so much about the stubborn, clueless girl standing before him?

Why did she always present a profound effect on him?

She obviously never cared about him. She never thought about how much pain the whole ordeal was causing him – even more than the effect it had on herself, and most definitely, a million times heavier than the tiny percent of hurt his cheating boyfriend felt.

Finally catching up to her, Jaejoong wasted no time in grabbing her hand – forcefully.

When she turned around, again out of will, tears were visibly forming on her eyes. When he saw her stinging eyes, and face overflowing with emotions, his heated heart almost immediately softened. The fury simmer within him ceased in a matter of seconds.

“Why are you forcing me to no ends? Why can’t you understand?” Her voice sounded helpless and desperate.

Sunye was tired with all the drama. She had had enough of it. Exhaustion had overwhelmed her whole mind and body. She just wanted to go back in time when everything was perfect, when Youngbae was the honest, faithful boyfriend; a time when she was genuinely happy, no facades or masks to bury her heartbreak.

Jaejoong moved his hand to wipe the tears rolling down her flawless cheeks. He caressed her face gently, with so much care... and love – that, Sunye, unfortunately, was too blind to notice.

He opened his mouth to speak after a while.

“Because you deserve better; because you’re special.”

His simple, yet deep words struck something inside of her. What it was, she couldn’t fully comprehend, but it was that particular funny feeling that would stir your emotions. Like magic, it immediately made her smile. And no, she was not faking it. It was a sincere smile.

Enraged with emotions, Jaejoong did the unthinkable after that. He leaned forward, and in a swift motion, he planted his lips into her rosy pink ones. Sunye just froze for a moment or two, but when she realised what they were really doing, her eyes went wide. Her shoves turned void because Jaejoong wouldn’t budge. He knew what he was doing and he did not want to stop. He couldn’t bring himself to stop.

Like an impact a meteor would have on the Earth, it did the same to her. They left a mark, and she was never the same ever since.
