Chapter 27
Love Her and Keep Her“You don’t believe me?” Hanbin asked her.
He was so close to her and Sarang’s body was helplessly pushed against his. The only thing Sarang could do was stare back into his eyes. Her hands gripped his shirt as unwanted thoughts and feelings rushed forward.
She missed him.
“So, what are you going to do?” He asked again. “I won’t allow you to end this so even if I walk away tonight, are you confident that you won’t give in tomorrow or the day after?” Because Hanbin isn’t planning on leaving her alone.
Sarang couldn’t respond because it was true. She knew how her feelings are starting to waver now, so how sure was she about keeping this up?
Hanbin tilted his head. “So?”
Sarang inhaled a breath and stared at Hanbin. He was making a joke out of her. She is weak but before she would take Hanbin back, she is planning on making him work for it. “You will beg on your knees first before I give in.” She challenged him back.
He smiled at her response. “Then, should we start now? Come back home with me.” When he saw her eyes blink in surprise, he smugly added – “Or are you scared?”

Sarang didn’t know what crossed her mind or why she thought this was good idea but here she was. In what used to be their home together.
“Why are you so stiff?” Hanbin walked by and brushed her shoulder. Hanbin was having fun just messing with her and it doesn’t hurt that finally he could be with her.
Sarang breathed out. What does she have to be nervous about? Right now, it was Hanbin that was desperate for her to take him back. So, she had the upper hand. “I need a change of clothes.”
Hanbin nodded towards the bedroom. “You didn’t take all of your clothes.”
Sarang hesitantly walks into the bedroom so she could reach the closet. As she took a step inside, a feeling of familiarity washed over her. Although the room was messier, with Hanbin’s clothes strewn everywhere, it still had a nostalgic feeling. She walked over to the closet to find her clothes folded neatly the way she left them. To her surprise, they have been untouched. Before she changed, she walked back to close the door and lock it.
“What’s the point? I’ve seen everything!”
She heard Hanbin yell from the living room. She only makes a face and mumbles to herself as she changes into the comfy tee and shorts. When she heard knocks on the door, Sarang lightly makes her way back to it.
When she opened it, Hanbin's smiling face greeted her. “Now it’s my turn to change.”
Sarang hadn’t even made it out of the room when Hanbin started to take his clothes off. Well, what did he have to worry about anyways? Sarang sits down on the couch and looks around the home. The house was definitely messier with the exception of only her things, traces of her existence, still in the places where she left them. Their photos together still on the stand beside the couch, her shoes still neatly placed beside the door, and it was only a glimpse, but she was sure that Hanbin still only slept on one side of the bed.
This was why she didn’t want to go back with Hanbin. Seeing this is making her hesitate.
Confronting him led to that unexpected kiss which in turn led her to say something stupid, landing her back where she thought she wouldn’t be back to.
“Sarang, let’s go to bed.”
She looked up hearing Hanbin’s voice. It really sounded like she was back, like she had never left in the first place. Her body moves on its own will and she makes her way back into the bedroom. “You’re not sleeping here, are you?”
Hanbin looked at her as he slid into the bed. “Where else would I sleep?”
She pointed behind her. “The couch.”
He chuckles. “That’s not happening.” He motioned her to come over. “Hurry and get in, you have an early morning tomorrow, don’t you?”
Sarang sighs before walking to her side of the bed and fixes herself onto it. She pulled the covers over her body and lie on the side, facing Hanbin. Hanbin also turns his body so he could see Sarang.
“Stop staring at me.” Sarang mumbles.
“You’re the one staring at me.” Hanbin retorts mindlessly. He wasn’t even focused on that. He was focused on the fact that Sarang was finally back. It wasn’t entirely what he wanted but he was w
