''Open up the damn door Kaeun!'' Hanbin knocked on the door almost hard enough to knock it down. He was beyond pissed with the way his girlfriend started ignoring him for no reason. He thought about what he could have done wrong but nothing came to his mind, leading him to think what he already knew; he had no fault over whatever was going on and this meant he did deserve some kind of explanation. He talked to his friends, asking for their opinions as well and everyone was saying the same; if anything was going on and he was sure he did nothing wrong, she would have to let him know the reason behind all this act. And if it was his fault - that probably wasn't - he would apologize. In the end, all he wanted was to have her in his arms. If he could, he'd blame himself but his brain had no clues to even push all the blame on him. She was wrong this once. Or at least, every lead took him to this point; he was sure she was at fault. 

Kaeun rubbed her eyes, tired from all the work she had been having the past week. She was buried in stress over her boss blabbing about something that didn't exactly concern her but it would always end up in getting her in the way as well, which lead her to fear him. He could fire her if he wanted to and that was the last thing she wanted to happen. She didn't need any more drama going on in her life. The female walked up to get the door, rubbing her temples as she sighed - she had been so busy that she didn't even get to think about her own life. She almost forgot about her boyfriend as well but she couldn't be blamed. She was worried, stressed and probably having a hard time for going through all of this at once.

Her hand reached for the door, unlocking it and opening it. Hanbin's fierce eyes glared at the female who stood in front of him but that didn't actually last long as he noticed the state she was in. Her hair was a mess, her face was pale and the bags right under her beautiful eyes were shouting out for help, almost like asking to get her body some water. That lasted a few seconds - Hanbin wasn't going out of this without a fight, especially if she was going through a hard time; she should have warned him, so he could be there for her. That was the least she could ever do. Not getting him worried the way she did for not replying to him for three days. Sure he had done it before but she knew he would either be sleeping or on the studio; there was no way he could know where she was when she simply decided to stop texting him or answering his calls.

''What the hell is wrong with you?'' that was the way their conversation started. Kaeun couldn't believe the way Hanbin talked to her, after seeing her in such state - he didn't seem to care. Of course she was surprised with this, how couldn't she? He used to be so caring and so comprehensive but now that he saw her like this, nearly begging to get her body some rest, he wanted to drag another problem into her brain, another reason to stop her from sleeping peacefully at night and perhaps to even question her role in all of this. That's how bad the situation had gotten when she stopped answering Hanbin's trials to help her. It was not that she didn't want him to help her but  she had a lot in mind and hse didn't want Hanbin to be bothered by what seemed such small problems that shouldn't be big enough to take part of his concerns. And this was what she got to be thoughtful when it came to him. 

Sighing, she closed the door as Hanbin stepped in. They shouldn't argue in the halls at least, she had some concideration for her neighbors who were probably asleep by now. ''Can we not do this now, Hanbin?'' she whispered, walking towards the kitchen as she somehow let him know how bad the situation was by this simple request. But she knew him. He scoffed loudly and rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he followed her. ''How can i let this go so easily? I deserve at least an explanation why you keep ingoring me.'' he raised his voice, glaring at Kaeun who stopped by the counter on the kitchen and gripped tightly on it. ''Hanbin, I'm not feeling well right now, can we please talk about this later?'' she asked him again, trying to get him to understand he wasn't the only one having a hard time in his life.

However, it was Hanbin we were talking about. He scoffed ''And when is later? I don't get any of this. I want an explanation right now.'' he shouted for the first time. Never had he even raised his voice against her once. But things seemed to change. It has been a while since she saw him anyways and ingoring him for the past three days were obviously a bad choice but what could she do? Kaeun lowered her head for a second before she decided she had to face him in order not to have another problem added to the already long list she had been trying to take care of.

''If you were comprehensive enough, you'd understand this is not a good time to ask for explanations.'' she spat at him who scoffed, yet again as she kept his eyes on her. He didn't understand her. She never really acted like this and he actually wanted to know what was going on, so he could sleep straight for at least a night. ''I can't sleep at night because of you.'' he told her, honestly as he looked into her eyes, it was almost like he was shouting at her, inside her brain, almost if he was scolding her like her father would - letting her know that whatever concerned her did take it's part on his problems' list. ''So you're concerned about yourself? I can't sleep either, in fact, it has been almost a week since I got some nice sleep to myself but you can't seem to understand it because you're too busy putting yourself first.'' she raised her voice at him - she was getting pissed as he ignored all her trials to avoid this subject today and perhaps talk about it tomorrow, when she was calm and sure about what her lips were saying.

''So now I'm selfish? Are you kidding me? You ignoring me for no reason is selfish, let's please not switch the papers here. I'm getting tired of this sick game of yours.'' he continued, just to get Kaeun's headache stronger, like he was feeding it with all the words he said to stand against her. At this point, she could only scoff at the small part of truth that was told in between lies that relayed in his words to take a body in their concerns. ''You know what? If I'm that selfish then why are you still bothering to come up to me? I'm not switching any freaking paper. I didn't want you to worry about my work, what's so bad about having a bad week at work? I didn't want to make you think I'm not strong enough to take it by myself. I didn't want you to think I'm an annoying girlfriend that always gets in your way when you're working. And you're like this? Because I didn't answer my phone for three freaking days? You got to be kidding me, Hanbin!'' she shouted at him, gripping tighter onto the counter as one of her hands decided to let go of it and slap the material it was built on.

Hanbin was surprised at first but his brain reacted quicker than he wanted it to and before he ordered his lips to wait for a better message to come out from his brain, he spilled out a mean comment he'd rather keep in ''That's different.'' his girlfriend glared at him, leaning more on the counter as if trying to reach for him ''How is it different? Do I need to explain everything that happens in my life to you because you're a man and I'm a woman? I didn't think we'd get to this point, Hanbin.'' she scoffed after sharpening her words. The male sighed, trying to remain calm. ''No, that's not what I meant. It's different because I'm always working. You're not. God knows where you could be.'' ''Oh, so you don't trust me? That's nice to know.'' this time, the sentence didn't even get to have his name on it. And this was when he knew he had perhaps crossed the line. His brain could intrepertate his words in a way but he had to think his girlfriend could not take it the same way and that was exactly what happened. She didn't take it nicely, any of his words of concern since all he wanted was to let this message past; he was worried about her.

He wanted to explain himself but he knew there was no use for such thing with both of them in that state. They'd just end up saying things they didn't want to, much less things they should say to one another. Hanbin exited the kitchen, he was ready to leave the building ''Oh so now you're walking away from this? Wow, so you can turn your back on your problems and I can't? That's very nice...'' she continued, filling his cup until it went overboard. The last drop made an entire ocean of emotions crash down right before his eyes, calling out war over all the energy it was amble to get from the impact it had.

Hanbin turned around, making sure he was facing the female, his back turned to the door so she knew he wasn't going to leave - not now that she had chanllanged him to this - as his eyes looked into hers, making sure to get her attention. ''I was worried sick about you. Not because you are smaller than me, much less because I don't trust you. You're so ing special to me that if anything every happens to you I swear I don't know what I'd do. You don't seem to get just how affected by your smallest actions I am. Whenever we argue, I want to run away from all of this and never come back since not having you here is basically going through hell alone. I don't want that. I love you and I know you know that even if I don't say it as often as I should and even if you misunderstand half of the things you say but hey, I signed up for this. I want to take part of your life. I want to be there when you're troubled and when it seems like there's no way out. I will help you, I will heal you and fight for you if there is need to.'' what's best for fighting than honest feelings? Nothing. ''After all we have been together, I still don't think you can get just how deeply in love I am with you. When I said I didn't sleep, I meant it and it wasn't because I had to work but because I was too woried about you to even pick up a stupid pen and write down words. I hope you could see that and how much you actually take part of my life because, if I do recall, you're always there for me. You just don't allow me to be part of the solution to your problem and I wish you could at least let me give it a try.'' he let it all out as he couldn't hold it in anymore. It was hard, especially for him who found any and everything a reason to blow.

Kaeun was lost for words after the speech her boyfriend just pulled off. Was she being that unfair when it came to him? She thought she was doing the right thing whenever she was conciderate enough not to bother him with a small issue like this one. She thought that perhaps bringing all her small problems to his life would be a bad thing that would only result in stress and probably not focusing.

She parted her lips to speak but there were no words coming out of - he knew what this meant. Hanbin took a step closer to Kaeun, slowly as if she was a scared animal that only needed some trust to fix her fears and before he knew, he was holding her hand, pulling her into a tight embrace. Nothing felt better than getting their problems fixed. Everything else would be back to normal after that, with a little bit more effort than it took to do this part. At least they didn't really have to worry about stupid fights anymore. ''Don't do this to us.'' he asked her, hugging her tightly to him, close to his chest as he knew it was the perfect way to comfort her when she wasn't feeling well or when she was feeling insecure about whatever. Her arms wrapped around his torso, leading the couple to move towards the couch, repeating the scene that happened often when they made up; he walked backwards until he found the couch, falling down on it with his girlfriend right on him. It felt comfortable anyways. And he wouldn't trade this moment for a thing. 

''Next time there is something bothering me, call me. It doesn't matter if it is five in the morning. It doesn't matter if I'm sleeping. It doesn't matter if the world is ending, just call me. I want to be there for you, I want to help you.'' Hanbin told her, looking down at her who snuggled his chest, nodding her head as a way to answer him who smiled satisfied with the small answer he got - even if it wasn't easy to understand. His lips gently kissed her head, letting his nose smell the scent of the perfume he missed so much. ''We can talk about your problems and solve them later. Let's rest now. You need it.'' he concluded, caressing her back gently as Kaeun nodded her head again, agreeing with his words. She did need rest, to get everything else off her head and relax even if for a second. And this was the perfect way. It felt nice and honestly, it wouldn't take long until she fel asleep since his arms were comforting enough, warm and protective. In one word, perfect.
