I took in the smell of the rain that wouldn’t stop, I tried to swallow my tears with every step I took but to no avail—I must have looked pathetic in his eyes, really lame. As we walked in search of a taxi, I sometimes felt his gaze landing on me ‘Are you ok?’ Yes ‘Are you sure’ Yes. I wouldn’t answer though, for some reason, I couldn’t even utter a word, I was ashamed of the words that escaped my mouth the moment Minhyuk asked me if I was ok.

Selfishness. Selfishness was the only thing that those words could translate into. ‘Because I’m used to you appearing out of nowhere when I need you the most’, he wasn’t my boyfriend or anything yet I—I was forcing him to do things for me, like it was his obligation to look for me. I had never sounded so selfish in my life, I had never said to Minhyuk so many selfish things at once—but he didn’t seem to mind, he still helped me out even if he could have just said that it wasn’t his obligation to come, even if he could have just not appeared in front of me like he always does. But he did.

I sometimes looked up without him noticing, a blush would spread across my face. I was so ashamed, behaving like this was really embarrassing. The tears had stopped falling, the embarrassment had taken over me at that moment.

“Here, have my coat” my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by his words.

“N-no!” I jumped back in surprise and shook my head, “It’s—It’s not really necessary…I’m alright” I said, hoping he wouldn’t feel offended or anything of that sort—that was the least thing I wanted to do. I just didn’t want to cause more trouble than I had already caused. I had been nothing but trouble for Minhyuk for the past few weeks, I didn’t really want to be the reason of him catching a cold.

“It IS necessary, you’ve been out in the cold for too long, what if you fall sick again? I’ll have to skip my schedules to come and look after you then”

“N-no of course not! I don’t want to bother you…or for you to catch a cold because of me…” I explained as I looked to the floor. Skipping schedules for me was bad enough, but catching a cold because of giving me his jacket would be worse because he has schedules to attend and it would be really bad if he didn’t.

“You…” I heard him sighing, I just looked to the floor and didn’t say anything as we continued to wait for the taxi.

“It’s just that—“ I felt some weigh falling over my shoulders suddenly, I opened my eyes wide at the contact. Minhyuk was behind me and had put his coat over my shoulders, he fixed it so it didn’t fall and probably because he’s really careful in everything he does.

“It’s better if I don’t even ask at all” he stated as he carefully made me turn around, “It doesn’t really look bad on you” he said as he ran his fingers through my hair, fixing it since it probably was a mess by now.

“You’re going to catch a cold…”

“It’s alright, we’ll get a taxi and it won’t be that cold, I’ll be fine” he said and gave me one of his kind smiles. I sighed.

“Crazy…” I muttered because he wasn’t really thinking of how this would affect him and that drove me insane. “A
