༄✯ 时间回来了-

Ahnji enters her apartment.

Tears threatening to fall from her eyes as Yeonjun's words kept repeating in her mind.

She slowly makes her way to the living room and immediately falls to the ground.

Her dog, Yeonnie ran towards her. Her head rest on top of Ahnji's head. Her sobs were enough to sadden her pets.

Sung sat beside her, his paw on top of her lap. Kuno followed, sitting beside his crying mother.

"Ahnji, I'm sorry for barging in, Jisung told me your pass-," Jaemin halted his steps at the sight of her.

Ahnji looked up at Jaemin, disbelieved with herself. Jaemin puts down Junnie who ran towards her.

"Hey..." Jaemin sits on the wooden floor beside her.

"I-I'm sorry... I knew you were coming yet... I let you see this side of mine," Ahnji mumbled.

"Hey, hey- it's fine, I don't mind," Jaemin gently pats her head.

"How about this?" Ahnji looks at Jaemin in the eyes. The boy looked at her pets before at her, the sweetest smile on his lips.

"Jisung and I had this way of smiling after crying! Although, it's better to let everything out, I want to see you smiling," Jaemin stated.

Immediately, he stood up and grabbed a piece of paper and pen. He quickly wrote something on it.

He folds the paper and gives it to Ahnji.

She unfolds the paper; Jaemin's hurried handwriting greets her.

Hi friend :)
I know someone who loves
to see you smile!
His name is Nana, look in front
of you and you will see him :D

Ahnji looks in front to be greeted by Jaemin with a very wide grin.

Ahnji lets out a soft chuckle and wipes her tears. She kissed all of her pets' head.

She looks at Jaemin before she patted his head as well. Jaemin chuckled at her gentle touch.

"Thank you," Ahnji muttered. Jaemin stretched his arms upwards before he rolled his sleeves up.

"I brought food alone since Jisung doesn't want to come. We both just got off our busy schedules." Jaemin brought out all the tupperware.

Ahnji gets up from the floor and makes her way to her dining table.

"Renjun and I cooked all of it. I hope it tastes good for you," he takes plates and chopsticks from the kitchen.

He picks up a piece of stir fried pork and reaches it out to Ahnji.

She smiles and takes a bite of the pork. She lets out a delighted hum.

"This is really good," her eyes widen. Jaemin smiled and placed all the food on the plate, both had their share.

"If you don't mind, do you want to tell what happened?" Jaemin softly asked, a delicate expression on his face.

Ahnji hesitated, but ended up telling him everything.

Jaemin listened attentively, even putting his chopsticks down to listen to her.

The frown that made its way to her lips saddened Jaemin. However, he understood, it was love after all that's happening.

"What I think you could do is wait for him until he's ready or talk to him about it," Jaemin said.

"I know it's difficult to talk about things like this." Jaemin took a sip of his drink and looked at her again.

"To be very honest, I don't understand why he continued doing these things with you when he's certain he isn't ready."

Ahnji winced which didn't go unnoticed by Jaemin.

"It's basically leading you on and I can't blame you but I'm certain you're afraid as well." Jaemin stared at her to which she nodded.

"I'm afraid too but I want to take the circumstances, Jaem. He should've told me that he's uncertain in the beginning when I wasn't attached yet!"

Jaemin crossed his arms, leaned back on the chair, his gaze still glued to her.

"I would be able to handle it but he didn't tell me which is why I'm so upset right now." She tears up the echo of his words in her head.

"I'm not upset because he's scared, I'm upset he didn't tell me when he's aware it will take a toll on me."Ahnji looks down to hide her vulnerability once more.

Jaemin gets up from his seat and sits beside Ahnji.

He embraces her in a hug, his heart melting at her pained warmth, he caresses her hair.

"It will be alright, okay?"

Jaemin exited the bathroom after putting on the borrowed clothes from Jisung's.

He enters Ahnji's room to see her reading a book.

Bedroom lights were off, except her lamp which was beside her bed. Jaemin sighed and sat on her bed.

"Go to bed, you've had enough today," Jaemin said. He gently took the book from her and placed it on the bedside table.

"What's your schedule tomorrow?" He stood from the bed and adjusted the thermostat to make her comfortable.

"I have a photoshoot with Minnie of (G)I-Dle. My day does start at 10 pm, so I have time to sleep in," Ahnji gets comfy in her bed.

Jaemin smiles and goes to her side once more.

"Well, goodnight- if you need anything, I'll be in Jisunf's room, okay?" Jaemin gave her the stuffed toy from her side.

Ahnji nodded as she watched Jaemin's figure walk away. She smiled when Jaemin closed the door of her room.

"Goodnight..."
