Warmth suddenly engulfs me, taking me whole. It suddenly captures me, waking me up. I no longer lost in my own darkness, the light has find me.

I feel damp soft lips pressing on my neck, I feel his trembling arms circling me. I feel his racing heartbeat on my back.   He's here.   Is this real?   "I-I-Idol?" I croaks.   "I'm here, babe. I'm here" He whispers, tightening his arm around me.   The moment I hear his voice, my dam crumbles. The waterfall gushes out of my eyes, uncontrollably. The relief that washes over me is overwhelming.   "Shh... I'm here, I'm here..." He chants, again and again.   This is unlike me. The great Hyuri crumbles publicly? What a shame. But I couldn't control it, my heart betrays me. Wait? Do I still have a heart? Didn't it broke down in pieces the moment he left?   He turns me around, and squat in front of me so we are face to face. He rests his palms on my thighs, securing me.   "Hello" He smiles softly, I can see traces of his nightmares in his orbs.   I nod for I no longer able to produce sound.   He his head sideways, "Hmm? This is not my Hyuri?" He studies me from head to toe, "Who are you, miss? You look sad, though still unbelievably pretty"   I stifle a smile. No. I was incredibly upset before, he can't just make me smile with a simple line!   His smile broaden, "You see, I have a girlfriend. But if you don't mind, I want to cheat on her with you"   What?! He already has a new girlfriend?! What in the hell?!! No!! No!! No!! Who is this girl?! What's her last name?! I'm going to freeze all of her family's account!!   I guess he must've notice my inner struggle for he suddenly becomes alert, "Hey! I was joking, babe! Joking! What I meant was that my girlfriend is the Hyuri that wears branded things, while you, the girl I'd like to cheat with, is the Hyuri that wears hand-me-downs hoodies"   Well that's a stupid joke, though it does calm my inner eruptions, but it creates a big and daunting question, "I'm your girlfriend?"   He stares at me apologetically and painfully before he sighs, "I couldn't protect you the way your family could. That incident showed me that. I'm just a mere mortal in your presence. So I thought... I thought I don't deserve you. I thought you should get someone better, like Prince Harry or the Clintons. I thought your family is your best shelter..."   I stay mum, not wanting to stop him from explaining.   "These past weeks have been purgatory for me. I don't eat, I barely sleep, and I couldn't function. It was like a big chunk of me was missing. But I assure myself that you're happy. That you're healthy. At least, that's what you brother told me"   "My brother??" So my brother is still in contact with idol but he didn't tell me?!   He nods, "Yeah. But very rarely. Only on my darkest time and when I succumb to my pain that I had the guts to call your brother and ask how you are. But today... Was the first time your brother give me a call. And what he said shatter my life. He told me you ran away." He shakes his head before continues, "l run around Seoul like headless chicken, searching for you."   He lowered his head, and I can feel his arm trembling, "If anything happen to you... I would sue your family..."   I finally let out a chuckle, which makes him look up to me in surprise, "Sue my family? You don't even have enough money to sue my gardener, Idol"   His face instantly brightens and softens at the same time, "I miss that word..."   "What?"   "Idol... Coming from your mouth..." He says dreamily.   I chuckle again and slap his shoulder, "Don't be dumb"   But instead of chuckling back, his face turns serious. His jaw locks and his eyes penetrates me. "Hyuri. I was wrong for leaving. I was wrong for hurting you. My apology to you will never end. But  from now on I will never again, mark my words, never again leave your side"   Before I could react, heck, even before I could take a breath, he grabs me by the sides of my head and crashes my lips to his.   The kiss is unlike anything we've ever shared befo
