Growing Pain 2 - Cold Cherry (Heirs OST) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdai_Je_6FM     ------------------------- Narrator’s P.O.V     L. Joe left on a rainy day.   Ironic, really, what with all the history and memories the two shared together.   Yesterday honestly seemed so far away.   He was dressed in the same clothes that he had been found in. All his clothes would remain, and he was to take nothing but himself when he left. He had his belongings all at the Andromedas’ Manor anyways.   None of them spoke a word that morning about his departure. They stayed, tangled in each other’s embrace, until the dreaded doorbell filled the silence.   Miyoung tightened her grip on his jacket. *No.*   L. Joe gazed at her, almost painstakingly, as she clung onto him. He didn’t want to leave her, but his departure was inevitable. He could see the mixed emotions cross her face and it hurt him.   “Miyoung,” his voice was hushed and low, and when her unreadable expression flickered up to meet his gaze, she knew what he was trying to say.   “I’ll get it.” She slowly rose to her feet and made her way towards the door. There was no question as to who it was on the other side. It was already obvious.   Miyoung’s dark orbs stared at the handle, staring at it for a good minute before reaching out to twist it. All of a sudden, fingers wrapped around her wrist and she was pinned to the door.   Surprise crossed her face, “Byung—“   Readily, his mouth pressed against hers. Miyoung winced at the impact but her eyebrows furrowed as L. Joe her bottom lip. Her eyes widened. He had never been so… impulsive before.   Miyoung’s eyes fluttered shut as she parted her lips. Her hands slipped up around his neck and fingers locked into his hair as L. Joe let out an uneasy breath. He explored and tilted his head this way and that, desperate for her.   Miyoung whimpered a bit and pressed her palms against his jaw. He automatically slowed down until he stopped completely. She responded by sweetly pressing her lips back, with a little more pressure, hands still against his face, until she pulled away slowly with flushed cheeks and slightly swollen lips.   L. Joe’s eyes slowly opened, and he eyed her until she softly smiled at him.   *I’m okay, Byunghun.* She seemed to say through her gaze. *I’ll be fine.*   From behind her, her hand wrapped around the doorknob and swiftly opened it until the two came face to face with Teen Top. Miyoung stepped back to let them come in.   CAP looked up in surprise and a look of guilt crossed his face, “…Are you ready to go?”   *No.* L. Joe’s fingers laced tightly and inconspicuously around Miyoung’s. He nodded slightly.   “Do you… want a few more minutes?” CAP asked. Changjo looked indifferent while Niel and Chunji had grave expressions on. Ricky seemed worried.   But to L. Joe’s surprise, Miyoung was the one who shook her head. She didn’t force herself to smile, but she didn’t frown, either. A gentle look spread across her face as she squeezed Byunghun’s hand.   “No… I think he’s all set.”   “Oh…” Niel said, stunned, “Al…right then. Let’s get going.”   Nobody made a move to actually leave. A thick silence covered the room.   “Ahem…” Chunji cleared his throat, and the two both looked up at him. “It’s… embarrassing to say this, but I wanted to thank you.”   Miyoung stared at him.   “If you weren’t there to take L. Joe in, I don’t know where he’d be right now.” Chunji said truthfully, an earnest expression on his face, “Before he lost his memories, L. Joe was and still is my best friend. So… thank you, for not revealing his identity all this time… and cooperating with us.”   “Whoa, Chunji hyung, you know how to thank people?” Ricky tried to ease the tension by acting shocked. Chunji threw him a glare and the latter flinched.   Miyoung’s gaze slightly softened. Although she wasn’t smiling and did harbour some discontent towards the males in front of her, Miyoung knew that they were very important people to the Andromeda L. Joe. Though her Byunghun didn’t know them, they knew him. From the looks of it, they didn’t seem like bad people.   Still, Miyoung couldn’t bring herself to smile and say sugar-coated words to them. How could she, when her Byunghun was being taken away by them?   “I think… you should go now, Byunghun.” She said quietly. L. Joe stared at her as she gazed at the evaders. “Come on, put on your shoes.”   The boys moved back to give him some space, and once his shoes were on, they slowly opened the door.   “After you, hyung.” The loudmouthed Niel was unusually solemn. L. Joe took one last glance at Miyoung as he carefully let go of her hand. Their interlaced fingers became undone as Byunghun turned his back to her, stepping away.   Leaving her.   Despite herself, she reached out and grabbed his wrist again, “H-Hold on!”   Everyone turned to stare at her as the blond looked at her for what seemed to be like the last time. She held on to his wrist, eyes pinned to the floor, “Byunghun…”   Before she knew it, arms wrapped around her, tugging her into his embrace. Her head rested on his shoulder, and his scent filled her nose. Although they had just been embracing each other a few moments before, it felt like an eternity since then. She could never get enough of him. Never.   “Take care of yourself,” he whispered, “When I’m not here, don’t overwork. Don’t work on your birthdays, and don’t forget me.”   “I would never—“ Miyoung blinked as he slowly let her go, straightening up. Miyoung took this as her last chance to take in all of his appearance. His blond hair, chocolate eyes, and thin pink lips.   He reached out a hand to caress her cheek. She gazed at him with immense adoration as he softened. *Don’t forget me.*   Then he turned around, his touch leaving her.   Miyoung tried to ignore the stinging sensation in her eyes as one by one, the boys followed him out the door. The last to leave was CAP, who gazed at her. Thinking it would be better to not say anything at all, he simply bowed a bit and walked out.   Before he could completely do so, she took a step, “Wait, CAP.”   CAP paused and glanced over his shoulder.   “Please,” she bit the inside of her lip.   *Is there any chance that Byunghun might return?*   shut at the question for she knew it was impossible. Serving in the war was his duty, and until the war ended, it would continue to be his duty.   “Please,” she tried again and gave him an agonizing look, “Please don’t let him get hurt.”   Sorrow crossed CAP’s face as he nodded, “He will be safe. I’d put my life on the line to keep my teammates alive, rest assured.”   Feeling a little relieved at that, Miyoung nodded once.   “Goo
