''So this is the last day.'' Negin whispered to herself as she stared at her own bed, rolling her eyes at the thought of having to leave the house she had been sharing with a few people for some months now. Her eyes landed on the bag that was by her bed, resting on the floor and she couldn't understand how she had managed to buy such a big case if she didn't use half of it. Now that she thought of it, she wouldn't be taking everything with her and probably the missing pieces of clothing on her wardrobe were sold in order to keep a roof over her head. ''Nene~'' someone called her, making her turn around. The female tilted her head as she noticed a shocked male by the door. ''Are you going on a trip or something?'' he asked, uneasy as his blond hair that today was almost glued to his forehead, allowed the female to see his dark blue, almost green eyes. Negin chuckled and shook her head slightly, releasing a sigh right after. ''I'm leaving.'' ''Wait...what? Why?'' those words came out of his mouth, concern wrapping around them just to hear the female chuckle again, sadly this time. ''It's just that, I need to get myself away from here for a while. I need to...I need to get back to my hometown and start over.'' she lied, trying to pull up her background to help her and sometimes, she felt glad the people she lived with were pretty much dumb.

''Did you talk to him yet?'' the question sounded heavy for some reason and yet again, the female chuckled, shaking her head slowly ''Why should I? Isn't he busy with his girlfriend?'' in her brain, those words were agressive and harsh but the way they fell from her lips was gentle yet, enough to crash against the ground and break it apart. The male leaned against the wall and sighed, shaking his head at the situation - he wasn't that good at cacthing up with sarcasm, much less with real life but he knew the situation Negin lived was complicated and that was enough to make him want to help her. ''You know, sometimes people say things they don't want to say.'' ''The point is that he made it really clear last time we talked. I was getting in the way and I'm not going to cry over him anymore. I'm tired.'' ''You should at least say goodbye to him...'' he tried to persuade the female who rolled her eyes and sighed, shaking her head slowly as she sat on top of her now closed case. ''Listen, Negin...I know you two have a long background and the fact you two crashed back together means something.'' Negin laughed and stood up, rolling her eyes before looking at the male ''We have nothing else to say to each other. All he had to say, he said it to my face and made sure everyone heard it so why should I care? If you're here to have his back then you can just leave.'' the way she was able to control her voice even if she was about to cry was almost impressive but she knew she would break down after he was gone. Even if she promised herself to stop crying over useless stuff.

The male nodded his head, exiting the room as she didn't seem to be in mood to talk. All she wanted to do was to be alone and take a second to herself before leaving the house she has been living for a few months now. Almost a year. Negin rubbed her eyes quietly, sniffing as some tears managed to escape and when she noticed the clock that was over her bed, she noticed that two hours had passed and somehow, she felt bad for not having any of the people she lived with meeting her in her room to tell her goodbye when the male probably had told them she was leaving; that was just how much people usually cared for her.

Negin shrugged her shoulders and took her case with her, heading downstairs just to have a mini heart attack. Everyone was reunited, sitting on the large couch. The thing was, there was someone else that made her sick. Her eyes landed on him and suddenly everything seemed to disappear; Junhwe was there, staring at her. He got up slowly, staring at her as his head turned downwards since she was shorter than him. Negin shook her head slowly at her own thoughts - it has been a while since she had seen him and she didn't want to see him at all. Afterall, he made it clear; he didn't want to see her either but there he was, with the people she lived with. After this, she knew the blond male she was with just a while ago was behind this. The female bit her tongue harshly and walked past them just to have Junhwe surprising her by holding onto her arm, not letting her walk any further. ''Stay for them at least.'' he asked, knowing he was consuming her inside but she didn't pull away from his touch. ''We need to talk after the party...'' he continued, making her step back to look at him. ''There's nothing to talk about, if I do recall your words.'' she spat at him who rolled his eyes at her behaviour; of course she'd test him to the limit, she was Negin afterall. The female felt surprised at how much he actually changed after getting a girlfriend. He no longer lost his patience easily, he took care of all the business he had to take care of and even cared for other people's feelings.

''I'm not staying.'' she whispered, taking her arm away from his touch and stumbling over her own feet just to hear a loud sigh. The male reached for her case and took it away, pushing it against the way just to hear an innocent crash against the wall. She glared at him but soon he pulled her to the table where there were a few drinks displayed. So this was their idea of a farewell party. The female sighed and shook her head but after seeing Junhwe, she was going to drink anyways and since this was for free, why not? She was the first to take a glass and pour some drink on it, not minding how desperate she looked in that moment. She knew they had second intentions with the game but she couldn't care any less, she simply wanted to get away from her life for a while and this was an easy way out.

''So...Seungmin, truth or dare?'' Yejin laughed quietly as she pointed at the male who kept giggling to himself over the drinks he had had. Truth was, more than half of the bottles that were full a while ago had no more liquid inside. Too bad. The only one who didn't really like the sight was Junhwe who kept shaking his head over just how many drinks Negin had over the past minutes. She was certainly just not thinking anymore. ''Yaaah June~'' Seungmin giggled, pointing over at Junhwe who looked over at him, wondering what he wanted. ''Truth or dare?'' ''Dare'' he answered dryly, looking over at the female he was previously staring it just to hear some good giggles as the other male pronnounced a few words. ''I dare you~'' he giggled, pointing over at Negin. ''I dare you to kiss her.'' the only thing that nobody knew was the fact Junhwe's girlfriend was there and the second he heard that, his eyes looked over at the female who looked away, hating the dare Seungmin came up with. She didn't want to see it - it didn't count as cheating, did it? Knowing Junhwe, he wouldn't back out on a dare or whatever he was challenged to. And this was no exception.

Junhwe leaned close to Negin who was almost asleep due to all the drinks she had but soon the sleep went away as she felt a pair of lips she knew perfectly well; her ex best friend's lips were all over hers and in that moment, everything was a mess. Her brain wasn't processing the situation and without any second thought, the female kissed his lips back, surprising Junhwe who for some reason couldn't pull away. His girlfriend watched everything, from the second he leaned in to the moment he closed his eyes and kissed the female's lips more passionately that he had ever kissed hers. The way Negin's lips moved against his was passionate as well and that made her shake her head as she wondered if every kiss she had shared with Junhwe ever meant so much to him as this specific one that didn't include her. Junhwe's brain was only able to remember his girlfriend was there when he heard someone getting up; only then, he was able to pull away and to remind himself he wasn't drunk therefore, there was no possible way he could excuse himself.

He immediately pushed Negin away and glared at her, shouting right after ''What the 's wrong with you? Why the did you kiss back?'' with this, he got up, running after his girlfriend but Negin could only giggle to herself as she had no idea of what just happened. She only had enough streght to pass out right after. 

When the next morning came, she felt her head heavy and even spinning due to all the alcohol she had. Her eyes opened slowly and she couldn't even pull up with the memories of yesterday; she simply couldn't remember. The first thing she did was run towards the bathroom to vomit away all the liquid she had had last night. She drank more than she was able to and she was surprised she didn't burst before. As the female walked back to the living room, holding her head, she looked around and sighed, not remembering a thing about the day before. As she walked, she tripped over something; a camera. Her curious eyes asked her brain permission to move her hands in order to be able to reveal the images it contained and she was shocked to see herself drinking so much. Wait...Junhwe was there? Her eyes widened when she suddenly saw he was looking at her the all time. She was even more shocked when the sudden kiss was played right in front of her eyes and the shouts that followed the sweet moment they shared. She couldn't help but shed some tears over the situation. It hurt her but she knew she had hurt someone else and that was not her intention. Warm tears rolled down her cheeks at the sight of the male's girlfriend getting up. ''Oh no.'' she whispered to herself, covering her lips as she shook her head. She set down the camera, not wanting to see it anymore. She didn't want to know what happened next, even if it was just the moment she fell asleep... she didn't want to know. All she knew was that she needed to make up for the mess she made with Junhwe last night.

Just when she was exiting the house with her bag, ready to look for the female to apologize for her actions - because she deserved to at least have her asking for forgiveness for kissing her boyfriend - she was faced with a mad Junhwe that was about to ring the bell. ''It's all your ing fault, why the did you kiss me back?'' he shouted at her, not caring about who heard it and who didn't. Fact was, she was sure he spent the night crying since his eyes were red and puffy. Negin bit her lip and looked down at her feet, being unable to answer his question; it was obvious she liked it. ''I'll make up for it. Where does she live?'' her quiet tone asked Junhwe who glared at her and slapped her hand away as her hand asked for her address. She was shocked ''We broke up, because of you. I hope you are happy now.'' she was pissed at him for talking like this with her but she couldn't do anything. She was going away after this anyways. ''You won't have to see me after this, let me talk to her.'' she asked, watching Junhwe's expression calming down as if asking what she meant with her first words. She shook her head and waited until he gave her what she needed.

With this, the female walked away, smiling softly at herself through her tears as she noticed she knew this house. She had lived there before and thankfully, it wasn't that far. In less than twenty minutes, the female rang a bell and patiently waited. The sight of a crying female made her frown but the warm smile that greeted her was actually comforting. ''I just came to apologize for last night...I was so drunk, I'm sorry... can you please forgive J-'' ''We're over.'' she chuckled quietly, wiping away her own tears just to watch Negin shake her head slowly as her features collided into a frown. ''Please, don't do this. You're everything for him.'' she asked, looking down at her hands to ask herself what to do. Her eyes suddenly widened as she reached for her phone. The other female was confused and stared at her ex boyfriend's ex best friend, trying to save their relationship. She didn't have to scroll down for that long until she found what she wanted since Junhwe and her had stopped talking long ago. Her teary eyes read hurtful words before turning the phone back to Junhwe's ex to show her how he was commited to their relationship. The other female read it and smiled softly at the sweet words Junhwe said about her. She sniffed and let out a soft chuckle ''The thing is, he's into you, whatever we talk about, he'll end up secretly bringing you up.'' Negin was shocked with her words but she didn't want to believe them. ''Please keep him. He needs you right now and I can't say.'' she whispered, taking back her phone as she sniffed quietly, wiping away her tears at the thought of having to leave.

''Where are you going?'' ''Back home.'' she whispered, making the female widen her eyes ''Junhwe said your house was burnt?'' Negin was speechless...just how much did he trust his girlfriend? He revealed her secrets to her, wow. She must be a keeper. The thought of her house made the female sick. ''I have to go.'' she whispered, bowing her head to turn around and leave. ''The fact you came here to apologize to me shows just how much you love him.'' Negin nodded her head slowly ''The fact he told you so much about me means he loves you more than I love him and I'm part of his past.'' she quickly answered, running away as she didn't really feel like talking about anything any longer.

Negin felt hungry. She forgot to eat breakfast before she left the shared house but there was nothing she could do in that moement to correct her actions anyways therefore, she shrugged it off and sighed quietly as she kept walking, taking a look at her pocket just to find the money she earned with the clothes she sold. She needed to keep that money until she found a place to work on. She wasn't ashamed of being short in money but all the people she lived with were rich, tired of their parents and that explained a few more details about their lives that she never really cared enough to pay attention to.

By the end of the road, she could already see the place she was searching for. The female stopped and stared at the other side of the street; a house reduced to dust. In between that dust her mother's ashes were destributed. She balmed herself for not being home the day her house burnt down. She blamed herself for being out partying with her friends and she blamed herself for letting Junhwe come into her life after that. Negin took a look at the black pieces of wood as she walked towards the house, finding it interesting and somehow comforting. Her lips curved into a soft smile as she sat down, in front of the house that was never re built. ''How's it going, mommy?'' she asked, wiping away some tears that fell ''I must have gone crazy. But I messed up so bad, mommy.'' she whispered, lowering her head just to cry tears she didn't want people to be ashamed of. ''I'm so sorry.'' she mumbled as she sobbed quietly, feeling worst than she ever felt as she had nobody to hold onto in that moment. ''Mommy, I ruined June's relationship. I kissed him back but I wasn't even aware of that. I was so drunk...I shouldn't have let him stop me, right? But I know his girlfriend will get back together with him, I don't have to see him anymore... I'm so sad, mommy.'' she continued, crying our as if her mother was indeed there to hear her.

On the other hand, Junhwe stood still, hearing the female blame herself for everything. He had followed her when she said she was going to talk to his ex, at first, to see if she really was. He heard her saying she was going home and that made him regret shouting at her because she had no home to go and probably, after what he had done to her, her life was crashing down pretty badly. After Negin exited his ex's building, the male went to talk to her but instead of asking her to get back together with him, the female told him to face it; he never really liked her. He was just trying to get over Negin since he knew she would never let him approach her. If there was anyone to blame, he was the one to blame. He had forced her to get out of her house that day and when she came home, there was no home, there was no nothing and yet, he almost dragged her to his house, not caring about the way she felt.

He was unable to move as he heard the female speak further. ''I'm going to keep you company, mommy. This still feels like come. I will find a job and I will build this house back. I'll pick up your ashes, ash by ash until I have them all.'' she suddenly got up and much to Junhwe's dismay, she walked towards the house, stepping on broken glasses with her shoes just to sit over the dusty couch that had turned black and almost had no place to sit in. Her broken smile laded over her lips as she looked around the floor as if looking for something before breaking down again. ''Who am I fooling?'' she whispered to herself, pulling her knees to her chest as she found crying comfortable. She closed her eyes for a while, trying to stop  her tears ''Mommy, let's be together, hmm?'' she whispered before she heard something break and opened her eyes.

Junhwe was standing there, in front of her but she wasn't sure if she was dreaming or not. ''Come on, let's eat.'' he held out his hand for her but she stood still, as if she wanted to ask him something. ''What do you want to ask?'' he rolled his eyes, getting back to the male he was before he started dating his ex. That answered the female's question ''She's going to forgive you, just go.'' she whispered quietly, looking down at the floor as it seemed more appealing than Junhwe's features. At least in that moment. He rolled his eyes and stepped on the broken glass, breaking it into smaller pieces just to have her frowning at his actions. He was breaking down her house even more than it already was and she didn't need that. ''Come on, let me take you home.'' he sighed but she shook her head as she moved away from his hand ''I'm home.'' ''Look, I'm sorry.'' he groaned, looking somewhere else. ''I'm sorry that...I pulled you out that night. If I didn't drag you alone, she'd be alive.'' Negin shook her head and moved away as he stepped closer. ''It's okay. Please go back, I want to be alone.'' she asked nicely, knowing he would burst at any second.

''I changed for you.'' he suddenly announced, making her look at him, surprised with his words just to laugh quietly at him ''Thanks for the joke. Now you can go. I want to be alone.'' she mumbled ''I'm not kidding.'' he spoke, offended as he looked down at her. ''I changed for you but I never got the courage to....after what I've done to you.'' he sighed but in her head, his words were read as pitty. Negin bit her bottom lip and shook her head slowly again ''Please leave, I don't want to talk to anyone right now.'' she cried quietly, making the male want to give up. But he held onto himself. If it was the old him, he'd walk away after noticing how hurt she was but this new him, even though he knew he had hurt her, he knew she needed him more than anything else and that was enough reason for him not to leave her there, alone. He kneeled down to match her eye level, allowing her to see he shared the same puffy eyes as she did because he cried over the lies he forced himself to live in last night. He knew perfectly well he never loved his girlfriend but she insisted to help him get over Nagin and he was angry he couldn't do it. That was the only reason why he shouted at her and treated her so bad. ''Let me take you home, please.'' he asked again, forcing his hand to reach for some of her skin as she pulled herself back and shook her head. ''Please.'' he asked again, noticing the female kept shaking his head at his request. ''Why?'' ''This is my house and I don't want your girlfriend to misunderstand our realationship. You made obvious the fact we didn't need to breathe the same air any longer. I respect that.'' she said the same words he spat at her back when he decided to change his attitude towards her.

Junhwe sighed heavily and rest his forehead against her knees, closing his eyes to control his anger that came out in quiet tears. He knew that, if he talked in that moment, his voice would crack. He wouldn't be able to say half sentence without gasping for air that didn't seem to reach his lungs. His hands held onto her ankles as he gripped on them gently, not wanting her to move in that moment so he could support all the heavy weight he carried on him after all he had done to her ''I'm begging you, give me a chance and let me do it right.'' he asked, lifting his head to see her so she could see just how serious he was about it ''Let me show you.'' her red eyes looked into his and the time she took to think and sniff as enough to give him enough space to take control of her brain. She stared at him, not knowing what to answer in that moment as she was sure there was no more relationship in between him and his ex. She threw her arms over his shoulders and hugged him close to her, tightly as she broke down crying. He was the only person she had and the thought she had lost him once was enough to make her brain rethink of her choices and pull herself up into something else. His arms almost immediately reacted to her touch, hugging her waist and pulling her up as he stood up, having their bodies close to one another as if there was no need for gaps. He cried as he had her in his arms and so did she. This felt much better.

A week after this, Junhwe found himself on the couch, looking up at Negin whose eyes were on a book that her eyes weren't reading; she wasn't able to pull together the words and he was aware of that. His soft hand reached up to her check, catching a tear that rolled down her cheek before he sat up, taking his head away from the comfort her lap provided. He took away the book she was reading and closed it, looking at her before he leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss over her lips ''I love you.'' he whispered to her, knowing this was the kind of support she needed in that moment. Over a week, a lot happened; he asked her to move in with him so he could take care of her and make up for the mistakes he had made before, so she would feel comfortable with the changes. He asked her to be his after the shock she had, letting her rest for the first day just to start working on making up to her. ''She loves you.'' he whispered, this time pecking her forehead before sitting up straight and pulling her to sit in his lap, on her favorite position where her face was hidden in the crook of his neck as his arms wrapped around her, granting her protection as long as she was there. ''We love you so much.'' he whispered to her, into her ear just to hear her sob as she held onto his shirt tightly ''I love you two as well.'' she managed to tell him, earning a soft yet a bit sad smile. The male hugged her tightly close to him ''I promise you, we'll build the house again.''
