Everyone's Love 26

This work is fiction

—

Love, who had returned to her ordinary daily life, starts work

comes in after finishing lunch with her coworkers

" Uh, Love-nim, do you have some kind of worry lately?"

"..Why?"

"You just look like you’ve got no energy, so I was wondering if you fought with your boyfriend?"

She was briefly flustered at her coworker’s question about whether she’d fought with her boyfriend, but quickly pulled herself together

"What are you talking about? I don’t have a boyfriend"

"Huh? Really? Then who was the man who came by before?"

"Oh, he’s a friend. A guy friend"

At the words “guy friend,” the coworker narrowed his eyes and looked at Love with suspicion

"No, but the way you look at that guy friend, Love-nim, it’s dripping with honey, you know?"

"Haha;; was it?"

"No way! What kind of guy friend is that?"

"Jiwon, enough useless talk and let’s work"

"Yes!"

At the team leader’s words, the coworker straightened up in his chair and focused on the monitor

Love let out a quiet sigh of relief and went back to the rest of her work. Before she knew it, it was time to get off work

One by one, people started leaving, and Love finished up what she was doing. It was only when it was almost 7 o’clock

that she finally got up from her seat. She said goodbye to the people left behind and took the elevator

down to the first-floor lobby. Looking toward the front entrance, she saw that it was snowing quite a bit

'It’s March, and it’s snowing? What a strange day.'

The heroine, fully prepared, buttoned up her coat and came out in front of the entrance

If she’d had an umbrella, she would’ve used it, but she figured it was a relief that it wasn’t rain

as she walked down the street. It wasn’t cold because of the snow, but her cheeks and the tip of her nose

were red. And she was excited at the thought of late-night snacks

"Huh?"

She didn’t know since when, but once the snow stopped hitting her, she found it strange

and Love stopped walking and looked up to check. An umbrella was spread over her head, and

when she turned around, Beomgyu was standing there with wet eyes, looking at her

Soon Love’s eyes shook wildly, and tears welled up

"....Love, I’m here"

"..Choi..Beomgyu, is that really you?"

"Yeah!"

Seeing Beomgyu barely manage to speak while holding back tears, Love immediately

threw herself into his arms. Seeing his shoulders trembling faintly, he must’ve been crying. The umbrella had

already been rolling on the ground for a long time. He wrapped both arms warmly around Love

/

What they arrived at was Beomgyu’s one-room apartment

Ah, so you were this close all along? How shameless. Love glared at Beomgyu

He scratched his head in apology, then acted as if nothing had happened

They brushed snow off each other’s hair and shoulders, and only awkward silence continued

Beomgyu’s image from 2 years ago was still similar, but almost gone

thicker and more manly now, or so it seemed. Love’s face grew redder and redder

She hung her coat on the hanger and carefully sat down on the floor

and Beomgyu soon placed a cup of warm cocoa in front of Love

The two of them took a sip and warmed their chilled bodies

Beomgyu opened his mouth with difficulty

"I’m sorry, Love. I thought I’d come to you right away

but I couldn’t. Mom was sick, so I couldn’t contact you properly

and even after coming back to Korea, I couldn’t figure out what I should do"

"...."

"I really didn’t know it would take this long to come to you

How can I make you forgive me?"

"...."

"The truth is, I still can’t sleep without you

I keep having recurring nightmares about the day you got hurt in my place..

And I couldn’t sleep well on rainy days either"

"Tch, Choi Beomgyu, you said you could sleep without me, so what am I supposed to put up with?"

"Hmm, did I say that?"

The awkward air had long since disappeared. It was as if they saw each other every day

Before they knew it, smiles bloomed across their faces

"I really did want to go back to where you are

but no matter how much I hate it, she’s still my mom, so I couldn’t just leave..Love?"

Before Beomgyu could even finish speaking, Love suddenly hugged him, and he lost his balance

and fell to the floor, with Love crying in Beomgyu’s arms on top of him

Beomgyu found the situation funny and sorry at the same time. He patted Love’s back

"Don’t cry, Love"

"You’re seriously so annoying. You better eat well and live well

What is this? You’re so skinny—what are you trying to do, getting even skinnier than me!"

"That goes for you too, though. I hear about you from Soobin every day

You say you drink every day, and what? You were going to run off with Taehyun?"

"Damn, this is all because of you, Choi Beomgyu! I really was trying to forget you"

"Alright, I’ll stick to you like glue from now on. Even if you say you hate it, I’ll never let go"

"I really missed you"

"I missed you too, Love. We really shouldn’t be apart, huh?"

Crying, she hit Beomgyu’s chest. Tears fell from her eyes

Her lips pouted as she glared at Beomgyu. The sight of it

was so cute it drove him crazy. Their eyes met, and only their breathing could be heard

"We’re adults now, right?"

"Huh?"

Before she could answer, peck—Love’s lips touched Beomgyu’s lips and then

pulled away, and Love, unable to process what was happening, just blinked

Seeing that as cute too, Beomgyu’s lips curled up

"What? What did you just do to me?"

"Acting clueless, huh? Want me to do it again?"

"Wh..what?! Choi Beomgyu, you pervert!"

Only then did Love realize what was going on, and she tried to pull away from Beomgyu’s arms, but

Beomgyu pulled her back into another hug without letting go of her

Her face flushed bright red as she listened to Beomgyu’s heartbeat

"I’ll really do well, Love"

"Yeah, or you die, Choi Beomgyu"

"Pfft, is that a threat?"

"Yep. I’ll show you how scary the price of hurting me is"

"Ah, you’re cute, Love"

"You just realized I was cute now?"

It feels like they’ve gone back to how they were before, and they’re happy about it

And just like that, the two of them could laugh again
