Rewind #17:

Myungsoo was too eager to see Mel that he opted to climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Numerous thoughts swam in his mind as he hurriedly made his way towards her floor.

The past events that took place ever since I came back in time have become a part of my real past, of my actual past.

They haven’t been erased,

And they certainly haven’t been forgotten.

That means I must have done something right,

As in I did not entirely things up,

There’s still a chance to make things right,

To win her back.

And,

All of the moments we shared,

All of the kisses,

All of the hugs,

All of the laughs,

And the tears,

Are real.

They are all real.

They actually took place.

I did not completely lose her.

She’s still here,

She’s still waiting for me,

She’s still here,

My Mel,

My love.

A knock, followed by a knock. The young man couldn’t contain his excitement at seeing the one person that makes his heart swell with joy. That makes his insides fill with such warmth and tenderness. That makes his days brighter and his life better. She might still be mad at him (scratch that) she’s probably furious but he did not care, he just wanted to embrace her,

He just wanted to hold her,

To make sure she existed,

To make sure she was real,

And that deep down in her heart she was still his.

But as soon as the door opened, his smile immediately turned into a frown. The figure that before him wasn’t the one of his beloved.

“Myungsoo? What are you doing here?”

He ignored the harshness of her tone, she has always been protective of Mel and seeing his past behavior, she had every right to be this hostile with him.

“I’m here to see Mel”

The red-head shot him an icy glare in response.

“Don’t you think you’ve done enough?”

The male sighed.

“I know I’ve been a bastard, I know I’ve hurt her too many times to count-”

The young woman chuckled.

“That’s an understatement”

Disregarding her comment, he continued.

“But I’m here to make things right, I need to see her”

The blue-eyed woman was taken aback by the determination that shone through his dark orbs.

“Look, I don’t expect you to forgive me. I don’t even expect you to like me but I can’t, no, I won’t let her go. I might have been too late to realize my feelings for her, but now that I do, now that I am fully aware that I’ve falling for her, head-on, I am willing to do whatever it takes to win her back. I can’t lose her, not again”

Sora’s eyes softened, the sincerity that laced every letter was fully conveyed.

“She’s not here”

His world came crashing down as his mind registered her words. His eyebrows furrowing in response.

“What do you mean she’s not here?”

The red-head couldn’t help but sigh, seeing the male’s crestfallen expression.

“She left”

Fear nestled into his mind.

 “Where did she go?”

Is she even coming back? He wanted to ask but refrained from doing so.

Would he even blame her if she didn’t?

“France. She went to visit her sister”

Relief washed over him.

Just a visit, it’s just a visit.

 Calm down Myungsoo.

She’ll come back.

She did not leave you.

But he desperately needed to see her to tell her how he feels. He couldn’t hold off his feelings anymore. Sure, they agreed to part ways but he needed her in his life, he needed her to be his. And he was going to get her back one way or another.

An idea flashed through his mind.

“Her sister lives in Paris, right?”

Sora nodded her head.

“Yeah, she does”

Myungsoo inwardly smiled.

“Can you give me the exact address?”

The young woman raised an eyebrow in response.

“Sora, please”

A sigh escaped her pink lips.

“I still don’t like you but I can tell you’re sincere”

Lazily ruffling her red locks, she went inside fumbled for a pen and paper and neatly wrote down the address.

“You better not break her heart again or I swear I’ll mess up that pretty little face of yours“

She slightly warned while handing him the note.

“Don’t worry I won’t”

I’ll never hurt her again.

Walking along the busy streets, the brunette placed her hands inside of her coats’ pocket trying to gather what little warmth it offered. December was, after all, one of the coldest months of the year. Making her way towards the little bistro that stood at the end of the street, she couldn’t help the smile that slowly started to form on her face at the sight of a familiar pinkish set of hair.

“Melody!”

The boy happily exclaimed as he embraced the brunette.

“I missed you Jong”

She sighed, relishing in his warmth.

“I missed you too Mel”

Pulling away (much to her dismay) Mel sat down on the comfy chair.

“How have you been?”

The maknae tiredly smiled.

“I’m good. Extremely tired but good none the less”

Mel had noticed the dark bags that laid under his orbs.

“You must be excited”

Pride swelled in her heart at the thought of them holding a concert in Paris. They have come so far.

“I certainly am!”

The young woman smiled at his enthusiasm and lightly pinched his rosy cheeks. Which earned her a frown in response. A quiet giggle escaped her lips at the sight of the pouty boy, he was too cute for his own good.

But ever since she sat down, a question had been nagging at her, a question concerning “him”.

“He misses you”

She abruptly looked up and locked eyes with his warm ones.

“You were wondering about him, weren’t you?”

A soft pink dusted her cheeks.

“Am I that obvious?”

A chuckle followed.

“Yes. Yes you are. Well to me at least”

A pout.

“I’ve been looking out for him like you asked of me”

A smile.

“Thanks, Jong”

A wink.

“But he misses you terribly”

I miss him too, so much.

Biting her lip, Melody played with the hem of her shirt.

“Mel don’t you think it’s time to forgive and forget?”

I already forgave him Jong.

“He hurt me”

A sigh.

“I know. He feels horrible about it and is willing to do anything to make up for all the pain that he caused you. He loves you Mel and I know for a fact that you love him as well”
