=Yumi's POV=

"Waaah. Why is it so cold today?" I mumbled to myself as I walked the dark, empty streets back to my house.

It's been a habit of mine actually, 

I've been endlessly mumbling and talking to myself for one week already,

I practically have no one to talk to at home,

and I only talk to my professors and classmates at school when I need to.

*sigh* I'm turning insane in no time.

My freezing fingers struggled to get a tight grip on the heavy bag of groceries on both my hands,

I even forgot to bring a scarf and a jacket for Shisus' sake.

Ugh. Shisus.

It's been a while since I've thought of him...

He's been entering my mind lesser and lesser these past few months.

kekeke~

Thanks to you, Cho Freaking Kyuhyun.

Cho Pabo Kyuhyun who doesn't even know I like him,

Cho Evil Kyuhyun who made me fall in love with him,

Cho Careless Kyuhyun...

who doesn't even care about me anymore.

Cho Kyuhyun.....

whom I still love even if it hurts so much.

I felt a cold tear drop and travel across my numb cheek.

I still don't understand what I've done for him not to even contact me like this.

I was sure that I haven't done something wrong,

but why?

Is it cause you've realized that I have feelings for you already?

Is it cause...you're done playing with me?

I just don't understand anymore, Kyuhyun-ssi.

I turned right and walked up the doorsteps towards our house,

when I suddenly heard a voice call me from a distance.

A voice I've been wanting to hear,

A voice I've been yearning to hear,

A voice I've been dying to hear.

"Jung Yumi!" 

I turned around as I saw Kyuhyun-ssi running hysterically towards me.

Sweat filled his face and body as he ran with all his might,

as he called my name with such passion and sorrow.

He stopped in front of me, not showing his tired physique.

He breathed heavily as he caught his breath,

his eyes continually locked on mine,

with the depth of more than a thousand oceans.

"J-Jung...Yu..mi." he slowly whispered with his sultry, deep voice.

"K-Kyuhyun-ssi..what's wrong?" I smiled and pretended that everything was okay. He probably knew what just happened with me and my parents.

Without saying anything, he suddenly pulled me against his arms and hugged me tightly, like he'd never hugged any other person before.

The bag of groceries had fallen on the ground with the impact of our bodies.

He hugged me and sent his warmth flowing through our bodies,

He hugged me, 

The me that forgot what warmth was,

The me that forgot what love was.

He made me feel it,

He made me feel the love that had been drenched of me,

He gave me back the life that was right out of me.

At that moment,

the world that had been drowning around me,

the life that had been colorless for a whole week,

had finally regained it's color again.

I felt hot tears run through my face as I hugged him back.

I wanted to hold them back,

but before I knew it,

I was already crying hysterically in his comforting arms.

Like how I wanted him to,

He hugged me tighter and made me feel that I wasn't alone anymore,

that he was there,

that he'll be there,

that he'll stay there.

With me,

by me,

for me.

"It's okay, Yumi-ah. Everything's gonna be okay." 

he reassuringly whispered into my ears as I continued to cry like a child who was missing her father.

"It's okay..It's okay."

he kept whispering into my ear while he brushed his warm hands and caressed my hair.

Never have I felt this helpless Kyuhyun-ssi,

Never have I felt this pain...

But I'm forever thankful that you finally came back,

that you're here,

I can't ask for anything more.

Kyuhyun-ssi...

only you can save me from this sorrow.

Now, always, and forever..

Only for you have I fallen like this,

abruptly, 

sharply,

deeply.

Kyuhyun-ssi,

when I reach the end of this long, continuing fall,

would you finally be there to catch me?

----------------

"Go inside now, it's getting cold here. I'll just pick up these groceries, then i'd go in." Kyuhyun-ssi muttered as he picked up the groceries scattered on the doorsteps.

"O-oh. Arasso." I shyly looked away as he flashed me his perfect, tender smile.

I missed that, Kyuhyun-ssi.

I opened the door and headed inside.

I felt my heart beat faster and faster, like it had just pumped all the blood it could out of me.

I plopped down the couch as I put my hand over my raging heart.

Crap.

I guess I missed him this much.

Warmth and Bliss spread through my body as I thought of the idea of him being here with me,

of not being alone tonight,

of not being alone forever.

My incontrollable smile just came out of my lips as I let my mind drift into daydream.

This is the first time I've smiled since Appa and Umma left.

Kyuhyun-ssi, just stay with me always, okay?

I bit my lip as I remembered his presence.

"I'm glad that you seem to be fine now." Kyuhyun-ssi mumbled as he opened the door and placed the bags of groceries on the floor.

"Y-yah. I'm not okay." I pouted as I looked at his amused chuckle.

"Aish. You. Move over, I wanna sit beside you." he signalled for me to give him some space on the couch.

"Aniyo. I don't want to." I spread my legs on the couch some more.

"Yah Jung Yumi. You're doing this after I just helped you with those groceries?" he cutely crossed his arms and raised one eyebrow at me.

Kekeke~ 

Serves you right for ignoring me for a week, you pabo!

"Aish. come on! Where am I supposed to sit?" 

"I. don't. care." I chuckled as I stuck my tongue out.

Heehee~

Fall for my aegyo, Kyuhyun-ssi?

He immediately smiled and shook his head lightly as he saw what I just did.

Assa! Mission accomplished.

"Ah! got it."

He grabbed a chair from the dining table and pulled it towards the side table across the couch.

He sat down in front of me and intentionally closed the television.

"Yah! I was watching that!" I sat up and shot him an angry look.

Crap crap crap.

My heart literally choked and popped into rainbows and glitter bombs as he laughed heartily in return.

ASDFGHJKLALACNACGSGBKKK!!

DON'T.

FREAKING.

KILL.

ME.

CHO FREAKING KYUHYUN. 

I felt my cheeks flush tomato as I looked away,

trying to avoid that gaze he was piercing into me.

"Whatever. I'll just take a nap." I immediately buried my face into the pillow as I covered my all-too-happy expression.

GAHD YOU Y MONSTER.

Don't you freaking know how hard it is to hold in my scream as I feel millions of ovary bursts inside me?

UNFFF.

"Yah. Why don't you go to sleep now? It's almost four in the morning."

Sleep? How can I possibly sleep when you're here?!

"Well..what about you?" 

"i'll just sleep here in the couch, it's fine. I'll probably leave early tomorrow, we have to record for music core right?"

Oh yeah. I almost forgot that he had schedule.

*sigh* and I thought I'd be able to be with him tomorrow.

"Oh..Why don't you go home now, Kyuhyun-ssi? You won't be able to sleep well in here, it's okay. I'm fine now. You should go." I stood up as I forced a smile into my disappointed face.

"No, I'll be perfectly fine here. I'm used to sleeping in couches, you know. Just go. i'm okay, promise." he stood up as he pushed me towards my bedroom.

Ugh. fine.

I held the door before Kyuhyun-ssi could close it behind him.

"Wait!"

"Yes?" he peeked in as I opened the door again.

"before you leave tomorrow...don't forget to say goodbye. Arasso?" I looked into his deep brown eyes.

"Arasso. I won't forget." He reassuringly smiled as his sincere eyes glittered under the lamplight.

"Mmm. Thank you..Kyuhyun-ssi. Goodnight!"

"Arasso. Goodnight, sleep well. Just call me if you need me." he soon closed the door as he let me alone in my room.

All the sadness had finally been taken out of me.

Thank you, Kyuhyun-ah.

Goodnight.
