"Sorry we are late." I apologised as we entered Nate's apartment. By 'we' I meant Hannah and I.

I haven't been able to spend much time with Han lately due to the assignments. And her being in another research team didn't help either. Nate and Han are friends too so I thought why not bring her along, and he didn't mind either.

Also, I might have an ulterior motive.

"It's okay guys. Hannah you can also join in with our homework." He spoke as we settled on the living room couch.

"Yeah sure." Han smiled, her eyes beamed whenever she looked at him and that's exactly why I bought her here. What's a friend if not help the other with her crush?

The moment Nate left the room to bring some drinks I nudged Han giggling.

"Someone's crushing." I teased.

"No." She denied, her lips couldn't hide the smile though.

"Then there's no need for my help then." I shrugged.

"That easily?" Her wide eyes went wider.

"You said you didn't have any?" I innocently replied.

"But I didn't think you would give up so soon." She pouted.

"Kidding buddy. I'm not resting this case without a victory." I slung my arm around her shoulder pulling her to my side earning her giggles.

The rest of the day were all about studies, goofing around, playing with Ash. The apartment was filled with our laughs. We enjoyed it very much and promised Nate to bring Jimin along with us too next time.

"Now what's your plan?" Han asked me as we got into her car.

"Professor asked me to reach back home at sharp 6. Or else he's gonna ground me." I pouted.

"Who Kim?" She chuckled.

"Yeah. He's very strict, telling I need to study without lazing around."

"Well he's a professor first then your boyfriend. And besides girl make him proud."

"I will. Studying ain't that boring because he will be there with me the whole time. You know hun, he cooks me my favourite foods, let's me get enough sleep. And you know how much I love to sleep and eat. He's the best." I chirped happily.

"I get it. You are smitten." She smirked.

"How can I not? God definitely had a favourite."

"Him I guess."

"No, me. Why else would He give me Jin. Obviously I'm his favourite."

Han did not say anything, she just laughed to all my crazy unrealistic thoughts till she dropped me home.

A weeks later

Snow everywhere. The cold weather was always my favourite. I laid on the snow bundled up in my sweater and coat.

I felt a presence beside me and saw it was him. I haven't seen him in a long time. There were days when I used to wake up seeing him, crying that I missed him and blaming myself for everything. They said the nightmares will go away after sometime. But for me they were never nightmares, they were precious. I used to long for the days he would show up atleast if it was in a dream.

"I see you are happy now." His deep voice rung in my ear. My eyes welled up at that familiar sound.

"I'm happy. Are you?" I asked him, my voice trembling with sadness.

"I am, now that you are. Is he the reason?" He asked me and I quickly nodded.

"Then hold onto him. Never let him go."

"I miss you." I said.

"I know. And I miss you too." His voice faded away like snow melts once greeted with the warmth of the sun.

"Liz, Liz. Wake up." I heard Jin's voice. I opened my eyes only to realise I slept on my desk. My face was wet with tears. The dream felt so real but I know it was too good to be true.

"Are you okay?" He was concerned for me.

"Yeah, it was just a dream." I said softly.

"You look tired. Come on let's get you to bed." He gently helped me up from the chair. Before I could take a step forward, he cupped my cheeks and wiped away the tears, then placed a soft kiss on my forehead.

I smiled at his care, I can't help but fall more and more for this man. He is the definition of an angel.

"Stay." I tugged on his arm when I saw him leaving after covering me with the blanket.

He didn't say anything, he just smiled and got in the blanket and laid beside me. He pulled me closer to his warm chest.

"Will you ever leave me?" My voice trembled, this time with fear, anticipating his answers.

"Is this about the dream?" He asked me carefully. I didn't say anything, I just snuggled closer, laying my head on his chest.

"I will never ever leave you. I will always be here for you, always. In all your happiness, sadness, fear, I will be here to hold you close, whisper into your ears a thousand 'I love yous' over and over."

"I love you." I felt my heart beating erratically at his words. I felt him kiss my head and snake his arms around my waist.

"Don't fear about anything when you have me, love."

Love, that simple word when said from his lips held a million meanings. It felt impossible that I was lucky enough to be with him. I felt like I didn't deserve him. But it made me want to live my life and earn his worth. He is my world, my beating heart, without him I am a mere dust.
