Okay, so yes, he told her to scratch his car, but he definitively didn’t mean his own car! With a frown plastered on his face, he contemplates the destruction. For most parts, it was “only” a paint damage, except for the missing review mirror. Fixable yes, but still annoying, but from now on his mechanic’s problem. His eyes dart back to the hysterically breathing girl that is constantly bowing and pleading for forgiveness. He hasn’t thought he would ever see her again, especially not so different. Last time he saw her she was a shrinking violet, lost in that awful potato bag of a dress. It completely ignored the beautiful figure she has, and with her body type, she should totally wear something complimenting that actually emphasizes her slender waist, her hips and chest area, and of course her dreamy long legs. But she has metamorphosed herself from a wallflower to a beautiful bucket full of Juliet Roses. Her dress this time is extremely flattering, playful yet cute; it also shows plenty of skin and is indeed lascivious. Her hair didn’t just openly hang down like seaweed but is styled to a loose messy bun. Although he isn’t completely sure if the untidy part is on purpose or accident. It doesn’t matter because it matches the dress and looks great. Her makeup, obviously water proof, is for most parts still intact and on point, although not too much; she doesn’t look painted or cracked. And he probably wouldn’t really grasp that she is wearing anything at all if it weren’t for the deep burgundy-colored lips. Even a colorblind is able to tell that the contrast is too strong to be natural. But he isn’t complaining as it looks extremely sensual. Her eyes are teary, and it smudged a bit of her eyeliner. Really it is just a hint of uneven which wakes an unknown urge in him to fix it. She still looks pretty, except for the distress that is written all over her face.
“Stop the crying already, I’m not even yelling yet!”, he grumbles as soothingly as he manages. Hey, his car just got spoiled he has every right to feel cranky about it. Everyone would be! Especially if it’s done purposely. Maybe some miraculous well-balanced holy-person could deal with this better. He might be called many things but surely saint isn’t in that repertoire and he never meant to become one either. He won’t start today either. In fact, he would be pretty pissed and let her pay for the damage she has done, but his common senses taught him better. Yes, her outer appearance is pretty but her whole body language is shaken as if someone has terribly abused her just seconds before. So despite his anger, all he wants to do right now is to try and soothe her. Even though he isn’t a good actor, therefore it sounds a bit awkward at times. But how could he not try if she looked like a beautiful but scared princess? Well, even if she wouldn’t be beautiful … oh, who is he kidding? Of course, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and is subjective, and he has seen truly rotten beings with the most beautiful faces. It does help to cover someone’s lies up, but in her case, she feels too pure to lie. Heck, a simple kiss made her blush! Of course, it could all be a brilliant act and maybe he is just blinded by his weakness, tears. But he really thinks that she isn’t deserving of his wrath.
“Get in…” he gestures towards his car.
“You mean, “in” like in inside the car?”
She almost squeaks in horror of the sheer thought. Her reaction irritates him and she reaps a puzzled look.
“I’m not trying to kidnap you, you should kno-“ “It’s not that, but I have never been in such an expensive car!”
He nearly blurts, “So, you only break them,” but manages to swallow the words back down. “Come on, get in already,” He tries his best not to let his annoyance shine through but he doesn’t really have a lot of patience to spare either. To empathize his words, he opens the car door for her making sure she won’t bump her head while entering. A gentleman gesture he has taught himself by obviously watching too many dramas in his being grounded free time.
He follows after her, pointing to the board, “Wet tissues should be in there, clean yourself up, you look awful baby girl.”
She is grateful for the tissues and being able to blow her nose. Even though it sounded awfully loud and gross in her ears, she does feel slightly better after. Courteously he turns on the build in radio and since this is his car he even is able to have his own playlist to choose from. A huge advance since there is no risk involved with the gamble of seeking for a good song. He chooses a slow song, which would be more considered of a ballad with slightly upbeat. He hopes it would soothe her, or at least have a little background jingle to make it less intimidating for her.
As soon as she is done with the retouched and seems mentally stable she

Chapter 14: yahhhhhh I teared up. I am going to genuinely miss this story. It's such a nice and real play on the romantic idea of a lot of stories and I truly adore how you did this. You pulled it off beautifully and with a lot of comedic timing as well as a lot of depth to the characters, enough to make you laugh or cry with them.
The eggshell comment... gosh. That really was what made me tear up to be honest. Her imperfect blanket in her now imperfect but getting better life... I loved that addition a lot.
This was really fantastically done and a beautiful story my dear. Thank you so much for writing it and sharing it and letting me tag along in the journey, too. *tuggles* ♡

Chapter 13: HAHAHA okay that ending. But I rewind!!!

The scene at the beginning had me a little confused because I was like BUT WHY WOULD SHE STAY and then duh it clicked with the letter and that reveal. ANd of course with Jiyong pouting and drinking. I do kind of agree with Taeyang that he deserved it and honestly, I love that about this story. It's realiztic, it's kind of funny, it's tearful, it's heartwrenching, it's giggle-inducing... and it teaches a lesson.
The goodbye was actually really sad. Like it was kind of sweet in a very bitter way, but I absolutely love that she realized that she can't stay with a man who is not only physically abusive but also mentally abusive. But the thoughts abou why she fell for him and how it all started and if only it had been another time in life they met... those were very realitic and sad and just realy... well.... emotional. I don't know how else to say it! Ah! Impactful! thats what they were.
LOL about Sunmi and haha her and Seungri, that made me laugh. And OH what a reveal haha!

Chapter 12: Oh my goodness. You warned me it would be bad but I really didn't expect this. *wiping away tears!!!!* But let me start at the top.
Sohee's return home was really heartbreaking but at the same time I was like, cheering her on. She held together well even through all of his abuse and I loved that. The imagery of the ring rolling into its resting place... well, as usual, you are fantastic with imagery!!!
And then Kiko. Oh my gosh Kiko. T.T I genuinely cried when I read the line *goes to quote it* I might very likely cry for a while but not forever, and once my tears dried, you won't be worth a second blink of mine anymore." OH GOSH my heart *broken* But I also love how strong you wrote her in that. Even there, in admitting that she was broken hearted and will cry, she still was strong and firm adn like, yes I will cry because I loved you, but I now know you're not worth me and I can do better. So gosh it was beautiful and sad and ugh just really awesome.
And then the elevator scene too!!! How she waited to break until she could and then the meeting, too. Those were really touching *cries*

Chapter 12: I really hope Sohee ends up with Jiyoung, he treats her decently while Nickhun doesn't really... It's sad how she makes up excuses for her husband but he's the way he is.

Chapter 11: Honey~~~~ gosh this is good. You took me by surprise with the almost intimate feeling of the love scenes, it was really great! I teared up a little bit a couple of places: the party and his abuse in this last chapter, and the line you wrote "Because only he can fill up this missing piece. Fix her broken parts." I know I quoted it wrong but Oh the last bit, I swear, I was scrunching my nose and trying to keep from crying. I love the clear distance you've painted between how Nichkhun treats her and how Jiyong treats her, and it is so sad and realistic and just *sob*. I love this. Keep up with honey, you can do it!
