I honestly have no ing idea if forgiveness takes a shape of water or that I am just an idiot. I don’t realize I’ve voiced my frustration out loud until you whine.

“I’m not going to get you into trouble! I just asked you to see my house, Daesung.”

“Well,” I shrug, glancing out the window shield. I am.

“You’ll love it,” you mutter silently, still loud enough for me to hear.

“I will?” I can’t hide my amusement. Sure, we’ve had years learning about ourselves but shouldn’t it be faltered by now? The ability of knowing each other deep down that we need no longer to guess?

“You will,” you stick your tongue out.

I laugh, “But it’s your house?”

“Because it’s my house!” you reason. “Don’t you trust my taste?”

I stare at the stars pattern of my jeans, then the road we’re taking, and finally at your face. “We don’t have the same taste.”

But we love like magnets.

“Welcome,” you smirk but you’re looking at your feet. Your hair falls to frame your face as you wait for me to say anything. “So?”

“Wow,” I gape at the cool of your tiles, the black of your door and obviously the huge panting hanging on the wall. “I don’t know you own a castle, hyung.”

“It’s not!” you laugh it off, tension seeps out from your shoulders. “Just my house.”

“Definitely not my taste,” I tease, only because I want to see your eyes slide back to me. It works, though, and I don’t mind the genuine shock and surprise in your stare, mingled with confusion and hesitation dripping from your feature. “It’s much better than my taste.”

Your gaze softens and the corner of your mouth rise up like sunrise, crawling to crave a mental image I will not forget. I know I’ve been letting you sink once again, I’m getting myself into a heartbreak once again. Like before, like the day of our first kiss, realizing what’s coming doesn’t make it hurt any less. If anything, it’s a disaster even more, this time that I know what stupid mistakes I might do to make you stay.

“I wish I had shown you sooner.”

Just like that, the curtain drops, separating the past and the present with a heartache.<
