"What the hell do I want? Why don't we start with, what the hell are you doing as a company assistant?!" He glared at you as he spat every word. "I thought that the whole reason you ran away was that you never even wanted to even set foot in an office building or to work with a big company!" He fumed.

"For you information Luka, I'm doing this for a friend as a part-time job and this is only until I finish my studies." You glared at him hoping he would spontaneously combust.

"Well that's just great Y/n, while you're here have a gay old time here and just living life to it's fullest, dad passed away!" He shouted while slamming his hand on the table.

You froze in place and watched him carefully with wide eyes.

"What did you say?" You breathed.

"Dad recently got a heart attack from overworking." Luka finally lowered his tone and looked towards the table, probably wondering if his mom was still okay.

"Did you come all this way to tell me this? No, a better question is how did you find me?" You waited for him to respond. He simply looked at the ground, not knowing what to say.

"Well?!" You yelled at him.

"There's too much to explain and I don't have that much time." Luka combed his hair back with his hand in frustration. "I'm heading back to our hometown tomorrow morning so I can tell mom about my recent activities with the company, just come with me so I can explain." He practically begged you.

You looked at him as if he were crazy.

"Me? Go back? Ha! That's a good one Luka but I'm not going back to that hell hole you call 'home'." You said while making the air quotes with your hands in a mocking fashion.

"You're so damn stubborn that you wouldn't even say goodbye to our dead father?!" Luka yelled, outraged. You balled your hands in fists feeling your knuckles go white.

"Fine!" You said while slamming your fist on the table. "I'm only going to visit for 1 hour. Nothing. More." You stated. Luka looked at you with a genuine smile.

"Thanks, Y/n-"

"Times up, let's go Y/n." Ordered Jumin when he opened the door.

"Right." You said, picking up your things.

"Wait!" Luka rushed over to you and held your arm. "Leave me your phone number so we can see when we can leave together." You sighed and quickly wrote down your number on a sticky note.

"There. Now goodbye." You said while turning on your heals and walking away with Jumin at your side.

"How did it go?"

"I hate you."

"No you don't."

"No I don't."

You got home and tossed your things on your couch and went to your room to flop on your bed. Almost immediately, you received a message from Luka.

Luka:

I'll be heading out at 10:00 am

You sighed at the thought of having to wake up early.

Y/n:

Alright

See you there

You locked your phone but all to soon, it started to ring.

"Yellow blue how are you!" Saeyoung said in his usual cheerful tone.

"Dead." You answered with a chuckle.

"Awwwww, long day at the office?" He asked while leaning back in his chair.

"Yup." You said while popping the 'P'. "And now I've gotta go back to my hometown tomorrow morning." You added with a sigh.

"What???" Saeyoung exclaimed, bolting up from his seat.

"Yeah but-"

"Nope, I'm heading over to your place right now." He stated while getting up and grabbing his jacket, wallet, and keys.

"What? What for?"

"Cause I want to." He said simply. 

"Saeyo-"

"Too late, I'm in my car, see you in 10 minutes." He chuckled at the end and hung up before you could say anything. You couldn't help but laugh at his childish ways. And just as he said, 10 minutes later he was knocking at your door.

"You're nuts." You said while opening the door.

"Hello to you too." He chuckled as he walked by you while ruffling your hair.

"So what's this about leaving tomorrow?" He asked while taking a seat on your couch. You sighed, took a seat next to him and explained what happened.

~  

"Yeah, looks like things keep getting more and more complicated." You breathed while leaning on Saeyoungs shoulder. Saeyoung looked at you but you kept your gaze forward. He leaned his head on yours and took a deep breath.

"What are you thinking?" You asked knowing he was somewhat uneasy.

"Huh? oh, nothing. I'm fine." He tried to brush off your question.

"Yeah right, you're probably thinking something stupid aren't you?" You said while sitting up straight to look at him dead in the eyes. Saeyoung looked away.

"I told you it's nothing." 

"You're probably thinking this would have never happened if you left or I left huh?" You said hitting the mark. Saeyoung looked at you with wide eyes, only making you chuckle sadly. "I know you too well." You added.

"Y/n-" You cut him off by shaking your head in rejection.

"Don't try to convince me that leaving would have been better." You placed your hand on top of his and looked at him dead in the eyes. "I choose this, so there's no need to feel bad or-" You were cut off when Saeyoung had leaned forward and closed the distance between you two with a kiss. 

You didn't even have time to think before he parted. Slowly he turned his gaze over at you with a blushing red face.

"I-I I'm sorry! I just...Gah!" He exclaimed while standing up and holding his face in his hands in frustration and embarrassment.

"Sae-"

"Why do you have to be so fucking cute and nice and amazing and ahhhh-" Saeyoung paced around the room not knowing how to express himself. "I can't stand it when I see you sad or worried about something, I wish I could take all your burdens so you can finally be happy and not be worried about anything-" You stood up and slowly walked over to Saeyoung to try and calm him down.

"Saeyoung why don't-"

"No, let me finish." He said while taking off his glasses to pinch the bridge of his nose. "I love you alright? I have since the first moment you said that you trusted me. Me of all people. Can you believe that?? HA! We've gone through so much and it's probably even worse than the actual Mystic Messenger game. You blindly followed my instructions in the beginning and at first, I thought you were stupid, childish, and nieve and-"

"Is there a 'but' to this?" You asked as you crossed your arms over your chest.

"And damn do you have a great butt." He chuckled with tears collecting in the corners of his eyes, and you let him continue his weird speech.

"After some time of actually getting to know you, I realized that you weren't doing all of that because you wanted to meet 'characters of a game' but because you genuinely wanted to help us out and I just feel completely head over heels over that and the fact that your so incredible and selfless and-" You hadn't even noticed that saeyoung was already inches away from you with tears rolling down his eyes.

"You make me feel things I never thought I would. Genuine happiness, jealousy, sadness and-" He once again closed the space between you two with a loving kiss and he couldn't help but pull you as close to him as possible. Once you two parted, you smiled brightly and laughed.

"Wh-Whats so funny?" Saeyoung asked feeling his cheeks go redder than they already were.

"You!" You pulled him into a hug and kept laughing, confusing him even further. "Saeyoung, all these things that you just said about me are the same things I think about you." 

"Even about the nice ass?"

"Hell yeah!" You said while laughing your head off.

"Jesus Christ Y/n, you're the only one who could make me...like this!" He gestured to himself. 

Saeyoung couldn't help himself and pulled you in for another kiss. It was desperate yet loving as your lips moving in sync. He carefully wrapped his arms around your waist and you placed your arms around his neck and combed your fingers through his soft red hair. After some time, you two needed to part to take a breath.

"Well, this turned into an interesting conversation." He said as he leaned his forehead on yours. "So what now?" 

"Wanna go out?" You asked simply.

"Hell yeah! Wait that means you want to be my girlfriend right?"

"Duh."
