"Lucy" youngmin caught me as I walked out my room

"Ne?"

"I wanna know if you wanna have lunch with me? I'm about to go out and everyone else is kind of busy" he told me 

"Oh ne" I gave a small smile. 

I put on a pair of shoes and fixed the shirt I was wearing it was a button up type and my sleeves were uneven.

We walked out of the house together 

"So how have you been feeling? We haven't really talked this summer." He said, that was true. With everything happening to Kimmy, and Donghyun yelling at me. I just wasn't really into talking to anyone.

"I am good. Better than i would be weeks ago, so that's a good sign" I joked, he gave a small laugh

"Well that's good to hear. Hope you don't mind a cafe?" He asked as we walked into this small coffee shop. 

"Aniyo, it's fine." I smiled 

We went up to the counter and we both got mango lemonades. We walked back to a booth that was by a window. 

"Summers almost over huh?" He said, I took a sip of my lemonade and gave a small nod

"It seems so" such a shame as well. I've had no fun this summer at all.

"It's so weird, like my summer was used up by hospital visits, a funeral, fights, court dates, and a lot of crying" I gave an awkward laugh and sighed resting my hand on the table.

"Mianhae," youngmin put his hand on mine

"Bwoh? Wae?" I raised a brow at him

"You shouldn't have had to go through all that. If I could I would try and go back to stop everything from happening. " he looked at me straight in the eyes. 

Ugh I don't think I could handle another rejection. 

"Aniyo, kenchannayo. I have learned to dealt with it. Donghyun oppa has been talking to me about seeing a therapist, just so I don't go on to the easy path of depression again" I gave a half smile, his eyes looked so hurt. To think that I'm causing him to suffer. 

"Do you wanna go to like a park or something?" I said, I wanted to leave I didn't wanna sit there all day looking into his sad eyes. 

He nodded and we walked out the door. The park was just across the street so it wasn't a long way to start up a new conversation.

We crossed the street and I saw all these little kids running around and playing. It warmed my heart. If I were to have the chance id do everything all over again even knowing id have so much heartbreak to go through. We walked over to the swings and we both sat down

"Are you sure you wanna be here?" He asked his eyebrows raised, I nodded and only looked at the kids playing 

"Lucy, " I looked at him taking my eyes off of a little girl just maybe a year older than Kimmy "I know you've been going through a lot this summer and I might just be coming off as selfish but I was wondering if-" before he finished I heard a plop type of noise I looked over and it was the girl she had tripped over something.

I slowly got up and walked over to her. She looked like she was on the verge of tears but she tried to contain them.

I crouched down to her size 
"Anneyeong," I gave her a small smile "gwenchana?" 

She nodded, I looked at her knee she was holding it, she had a small scrape from the harsh grass. 

"Are you sure? I can help you, you don't have to be a tough little girl all the time you know?" I reassured her. I dug around in my bag and fetched out what I was looking for an alcohol wipe and a bandaid.

"Let me just clean it up for you arraso?" I asked her, she nodded "this may sting a little" I said opening up the wrapper to the wipe, I looked at her she looked uncomfortable.  "Would you like to squeeze my hand?" I asked her, she nodded

I gave her my hand and began wiping her scrape with my free hand, she gave a tight squeeze 
"Mianhae" I apologized for the sting, she let go of my hand and I opened the band aid to place on her knee. After I finished I helped her up 

"Kamsahamnida unnie" she thanked me and wrapped her little arms around my legs, before I could say you're welcome she ran off to play again. 

I stood there in my steps and sighed. Seeing happy little kids is when it hurts the most. 

I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned to see youngmin giving me a soft smile 

"Wanna go home now?" He asked I only nodded. 

Walking home I hadn't realized I had cut youngmin off when he was in the middle of saying something. 

"What were you gonna tell me back there?" I said breaking the silence 

"Oh, well I was just thinking, and this might sound selfish, but if we could go on that date that we talked about soon?" He said he looked hopeful, I gave a sigh

"Mianhae, but I don't think so." I said 

"But Lucy please we had such a good thing going you have to admit that" he insisted 

"Youngmin jebal," I begged I wanted him to stop, dating was the last thing on my mind right now

"Aniyo, how long are you going to punish yourself for?" His voice raised a little, I was getting irritated.

"Well excuse me if I-" he cut me off with his lips crashing on to mine. As much as id hate to admit it, there were sparks within that kiss. I quickly pushed him away from me

"I just don't want to date right now arraso? I've already have rejected minwoo and kwangmin, what makes you so special?" My voice was low and harsh. I looked at his face, he looked even more hurt.
