It has been a week since I told Hyukjae that if he didn’t leave the gang, I would leave him. It has been a day since I let him back in, through the weak defences I had built up to repel him for six days. To be perfectly honest, those were the worst six days of my life.

When he had told me that he couldn’t leave the gang, I told him that I can’t be with him until I know that he won’t be killed or hurt, suddenly taken away from me or tortured. I need him to be here with me. I need to know that he won’t leave when I need him the most.

“Hae, baby, I will ask Leeteuk hyung if I can leave but I can’t guarantee anything. Family are supposed to stick together.” He says while embracing me from behind, lying on the sofa in my living room.

Suddenly the door bursts open and I would have nearly fallen off the sofa again if it wasn’t for the hands glued to my hips. By this stage Hyukjae had moved his lips from mine, down to my neck. The person who had rushed through the door surprisingly pops her head over the back of the couch, resulting in a third time of me almost ending up on the floor.

“Hyukjae sweetie, please stop molesting my baby and pay attention to your future mother-in-law.” My mum says, smacking his leg lightly. Hyukkie sits up, dragging me with him, and looks at my mum guiltily.

“Sorry Umma, I guess I got a bit carried away th
