Whenever (y/n) is feeling down, she goes to this huge fountain that has concrete stairs that can be stepped on to sit on benches in the middle of it. The sound of the water flowing down calms her and distracts her from what was happening.

Her closest friend, Jeongin, was sitting on top of the fountain, noticing (y/n) on the benches. He went down the stairs and sat next to her, staying quiet. She was in no mood to talk to anyone at all.

"Everyone has been looking for you. Chan is worried", he said.

"I needed space", she mumbled quietly.

"Seungmin wants to see you", he said.

She thought,"why would he want to see me?"

"I can't. It's my fault he's in the hospital. He could've just let the car hit me. Why would he do that? We hate each other", she said.

"Do you really? If you did hate each other, he wouldn't have pushed you out of the way and you wouldn't be blaming yourself. Both of you really need to start realizing that you're both connected in some way. You just have to figure it out", he said.

She lightly shook her head, knowing it's impossible for them to be connected. He was always teasing her about the smallest things and she hated him for it.

"I can see it (y/n). I know you don't want to admit it but I can see it in your eyes. It's the same with him. You can say you hate each other all you want. But both of you know how you feel", he said.

When she met Seungmin, all he did was make her life like hell. Little things bothered her like the way he breathed, his laugh, his presence. Then as time passed, it's like she couldn't go a day without the things she hated about him.

"Just come with me to the hospital. You can stay in the waiting room if you don't want to see him. I think he just needs to hear that you're there", he said.

~~~

(Y/n) was sitting on the green chairs, legs propped up as her arms hugged them. Her brother Chan sat in front of her, trying to get her to talk. The sleeves covered her hands, making her feel a bit warm and stuffy.

"Never do that again, okay? You can't just run off like that. You scared the crap out of me", he held her hands and softly caressed the top with his thumbs.

"Sorry. It won't happen again", she said.

"Are you alright? With everything that's happening?", he asked.

She shrugged her shoulders. He understood she didn't want to talk about it but he wants to see her happy. He could see how much she changed when Seungmin entered her life. She was happy. She does care. But she's afraid to admit it because of her past.

"Wanna see him?", he asked.

The lady crying at the corner, holding her child who was as confused as she was, made her imagine things that no one wants to imagine. The soft squeeze on her hand caused her focus to go back on her brother.

"Should I?", she asked.

"It's been three days. I really think you should see him", he said.

"Why? Why do you think so?", she asked.

"You're dragging yourself for something that isn't your fault. I haven't seen you this upset since-"

"I'll talk to him", she said quickly.

(Y/n) was standing in front of the room Seungmin is in. She kept hesitating, thinking about what he's gonna tell her. Will he blame her?

Finally after five minutes, she took a deep breathe in and took steps forward, hands shaking as she opened the door. Once she peeked in, Seungmin turned to face whoever came in. She. He realized it was her, he quickly but carefully sat up.

She noticed the cuts and bruises on his face, his left arm wrapped with gauze yet he can still manage to put a smile on his face.

"(Y/n), you came. I didn't think you were going to. Chan was telling me you were upset-"

"Never mind that...how can you be so stupid? You could've died. How can you push me out of the way?? What if you did die?? You would've been the cause of me feeling guilty. You're always ruining my life!", she raised her voice, tears almost spilling on her shirt.

His response caught her quite off guard. He began chuckling while shaking his head.

"You fool, you would've died if I hadn't pushed you out of the way. And if you really care that much, I won't do it again", he said.

She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, turning the other way as she always does whenever she's upset.

"...why did you push me out of the way?", she asked.

"Then there would be no one to tease. You're such a crybaby. Wipe those tears. Everything is fine", he said.

"I really hate you", she mumbled.

He grinned and grabbed her hand.

"I hate you too", he smiled softly while giving a light squeeze to her hand.

She stayed for a while. They didn't talk much. It was mostly Seungmin who would tease her about being angry even though he knows she's really not.

He knows.

~~~

"Hey", Jeongin And Chan walked in and noticed (y/n) fell asleep.

Seungmin was watching over her, feeling sorry for the way she's blaming herself. He misses they way she yells at him.

"I'm surprised she stayed that long", Jeongin said.

Both of them took seats across from the hospital bed. They can see the way Seungmin looked at her.

"Did she mention anything to you?", Chan asked.

"No. She was quiet. But it looked like she felt better. She called me an idiot", Seungmin said.

"She would've called you worse. Anyways, there's a reason why she acts that way. Four years ago, she was with this boy. She really loved him. They spent everyday together. She was happy. Then over two years ago, they were in a car accident. She survived with a few bruises but he didn't. He died on the scene. She was devastated. She wouldn't eat, go out, or even talk to anyone. She isolated herself in her room. Then she met everyone else..and you. I literally have never seen her that happy since before he died. Don't let her tough attitude fool you. She was terrified of losing you the day you pushed her from getting hit. I know my sister when she's in love. And she's madly in love with you", Chan explained.

"..I know. I know about her feelings. But I never knew that about her. That explains a lot", Seungmin said.

"...do you love her?", Jeongin asked.

Seungmin chuckled, glancing over at (y/n).

"I think it's obvious, otherwise why would you be asking?", Seungmin said.

"So why not tell her?", Jeongin asked.

Before he could answer, (y/n) stretched her arms and opened her eyes, blinking repeatedly. When she saw her brother and Jeongin, she quickly sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"You should go home. It's getting late. It'll be easier for you to rest", Seungmin told her.

She looked over at Chan who noticed she gave him the look. He knew she wanted to stay so instead of sending her home, he thought of another idea.

"How about I order food for us to eat here hm? That way Seungmin won't be alone. Jeongin, let's go", Chan nudged him so he could follow him.

"What? Why me?", Jeongin whined.

"Just come here", Chan grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him out of the room, leaving them alone.

Seungmin smiled at (y/n).

"I'll be getting discharged tomorrow", he said.

She nodded. Her eyes went down to his arm which was wrapped in gauze. To be able to distract her, he had to do something that will get her back to herself.

"Yah, What are you staring at? You perv", Seungmin covered his chest with his arms.

"Perv?? I wasn't staring at anything! Not like there is anything to stare at. Crazy bastard", she mumbled, looking away as her cheeks turned red.

"Looks like the perv is blushing. Are you falling for me (y/n)?", he smirked.

"Go to hell", she spat.

He laughed and kept teasing her, causing her to become more red.

"On the more serious note, how are you?", he asked.

As she glanced up at him, he can see his expression much more serious. She rolled her eyes and turned away. She was still hurting. He grabbed her hand made her face him.

"Can you talk to me at least? I saved your life. You owe me", he said.

"I'm fine", she quickly said.

He sighed and slightly pulled her arm, patting the spot on the bed. When she didn't understand, he pulled her arm again so she could sit on the bed. He kept a hold of her hand so he would stop feeling like a coward.

"Can I have my hand back before I chew your off?", she said.

He was about to but he kept a good hold on her. She kept looking at his hand, wondering why he was acting so weird.

"(Y/n), don't you think it's time to stop playing these games?", he asked.

She raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?", she asked.

"There's no way you can just sit there and look me in the eyes without feeling anything for me", he said.

She pulled her hand back.

"Are you nuts?? How can you just assume that?? Jeez, your ego comes out naturally", she said.

He grabbed her hand once again and placed it on his chest. She can feel his heart beating so fast. As she looked up at him, his eyebrows were scrunched together, showing anger.

"I can't keep pretending...to not like you when obviously it's hard to control myself around you. My heart is going insane as you're here in front of me. Don't you feel that as well?", he asked.

"I-"

"The food is here!", Jeongin yelled excitedly as he entered along with Chan.

They noticed they way the two of them were. (Y/n) quickly pulled her hand back and blushed intensely, staring down at the blankets.

"Um...food", Jeongin said, pointing at the white to-go bag.

"We should let them talk", Chan said as he placed a hand on Jeongin's shoulder.

"I have to go", (y/n) got up and quickly left.

"(Y/n) Wait!", Seungmin called out but she had already left.

Both Jeongin and Chan looked at each other, confused on why (y/n) left so urgently.

"What happened?", Jeongin asked.

"I told her. She didn't answer me though because you two barged in. I don't think she's gonna wanna see me now that she knows", Seungmin said.

"That's not true. She's just scared. She hasn't felt this way in a long time. Give her time. She'll come around", Chan said.

~~~

It's been two days since Seungmin got discharged from the hospital. He's been meaning to talk to (y/n) but he also reminded himself that she needs space to figure out what she wants.

Like he said before, it's hard for him to control himself.

He was walking along the park to get some fresh air. He noticed a fountain nearby so he thought about doing what he would always do as a kid. His hand went inside his pocket and looked for a coin to throw but as he did, he noticed (y/n) down at the center of the fountain, sitting on the benches.

As he carefully walked down the steps, (y/n) had her eyes closed, a few tears streaming down her face. He approached her slowly and stood in front of her.

"(Y/n)", he said softly.

Her eyes immediately opened, facing Seungmin.

"Ah...How did you know I was here?", she asked.

"I was just walking and I saw you here", he said.

"Oh", she said.

She couldn't look at him in the eyes. She was too embarrassed.

"Can I sit?", he asked.

She softly nodded and moved over. As he sat down, her heart began to race. Hands almost touching, she quickly placed them on her lap.

"How's your hand?", she asked.

"Better", he said.

She nodded and continued looking at the water.

Seungmin was getting impatient. He turned to face her and grabbed her hand.

"(Y/n)..why did you run when I told you I have feelings for you? You clearly feel the same way don't you?", he said.

"...what makes you say that?", she asked.

"I feel it in my gut. Even your brother says so. Just admit (y/n). You don't have to be afraid. It's okay to love someone even after what happened. You can't keep putting the blame on yourself when it wasn't your fault. If you keep doing this, you'll never be happy. And that's something I don't want. What I do want is for you to be happy",  he said.

"After what happened? Who told you that?", she asked, pulling her hand away.

"Your brother. He wants the same thing I do. For you to be happy. Isn't that what you want too?", he asked.

"Why would I want that? I'm fine the way I am", she said.

"Obviously not. What do I have to do to make you happy? Jump in the fountain? Because I can do that if you want", Seungmin stood up and headed towards the edge.

"What are you?? Nuts?? Why the hell would you wanna do that??", she went towards him and pulled him out of the way but she ended up slipping and falling in.

"(Y/n)!", Seungmin didn't hesitate to jump in after her.

He made sure his arms were around her so she wouldn't go under. Her eyes landed on his. Her breathing was heaving and her hair covered her face. He softly moved her hair out of the way to get a better look. His hand cupped her cheek, feeling the coldness of the water but also the warmth from her skin.

"(Y/n)....I love you", he whispered.

Her eyes welled up with tears. She kept stuttering which she absolutely hates.

"It's okay. You don't have to say anything. We should get out before we get sick", he chuckled awkwardly before helping her out.

"I'll take you home", he said.

As they arrived on her porch, Chan quickly came out with extra clothes for Seungmin. (Y/n) has texted him beforehand so he went in to change. Chan scolded her and told her to go change as well.

When they finished, (y/n) walked Seungmin out.

"Rest well", he smiled.

He turned to walk away, stepping on the concrete as he walked to the left. (Y/n) kept tapping her fingers on her lap, jumping on her feet as she got impatient. Before he was out of sight, she quickly ran towards him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I'm sorry", she whispered.

His hands landed on hers, patting them before turning around to face her. She had tears streaming down her face.

"You cry about everything. And you don't need to be sorry. You didn't do anything. Go rest up, you must be exhausted", he said.

She shook her head, not letting go of him. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tight.

"I...love you too", she mumbled onto his chest.

His eyes widened and tried to pull away but she wouldn't let go. When he realized that, he chuckled and continued letting her hug him.

"So you have fallen for me? Hm, looks like I'll be teasing you more often", he smirked.

"Yah, even when I confess, you have to be such a jerk!", she yelled while pushing him away, blushing intensely.

"You love me. I get to tease you all I want now", he smirked.

"You do that either way. You're a bully", she mumbled.

"Yes I'm a bully but I only do it because I love you just like you love me", he said, holding her hand.

"Aish, I don't even know why I try. You're not gonna stop, are you?", she asked.

"Nope", he smiled widely.

"Fine. You heard what you wanted to hear. Now leave", she said, poking his chest.

"Okay. I have to do something first", he said.

He cupped her cheeks with his hands and leaned down, placing his lips on hers. It was a quick peck but she liked it.

"Have you ever heard of germs, you jerk", she said.

"No. Anyways, get a good night sleep. I'll be back tomorrow to see how you're doing and if you're up to it, I can take you to breakfast. I have to get going now", he smiled, squeezing her hands softly before letting go.

She nodded.

He started walking the other way, (y/n) staring right at him. She was about to walk away until Seungmin called for her.

"What?", she said.

"I love you", he smiled teasingly.

"Yah! I swear if you don't leave, you'll wake up bald", she groaned, covering her face.

"Okay, I'm leaving", he chuckled.

And to that, (y/n) entered her house with a red face.

"You know I'll be teasing you as well, right?", Chan smirked as he leaned against the couch.

"You do and I will cut off your-", Chan covered her mouth and warned her if she finished that sentence.

"Get some sleep", he said.

When she went to her bedroom, she laid down on her bed and covered her body with the blankets. She stayed awake for at least ten minutes before falling asleep with a smile on her face.
