;Nara’s POV
"I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry..." Daehyun whispered as he buried his face in my hair. I was silent for a moment and I could only muffle my sobs so I could stop myself from crying. My knees were still wobbling but his arms wrapped around me was enough for me to keep standing. I admit, my back was in pain when he suddenly pushed me on the wall. I didn't expect him to do that.
But I can feel the sincerity when he apologized that my heart melted for him. Just like that, I forgive him. I couldn't bring myself to stay mad at him. I don't know why but I just can't.
"I'm really sorry..." He whispered again, and this time I could feel his hands pressed on my back as if he was trying to get the pain away.
I wiped my eyes as I slowly pulled back when I felt my knees were no longer shaking. "I-It's okay, Daehyun-ah."
"Just wait. I'll buy—"
"No, really. It's okay." I cut him off. "It'll go away, I mean the pain will go away. I swear. No need to worry."

"Daehyun-ah?" Only then he looked up and looked at me. I had to gulp when his dark eyes went into mine. Why am I still not used of him looking straight into my eyes when he always do that?
"Hmm?"
I blinked. "W-When I told you I'm okay, I really am. Believe me."
He looked away but I still caught that sad smile on his lips. "I believe you. It's just that the guilt just won't go away." He looked back again at me. "I'm really sorry, Nara-yah."
I smiled at him. "You're just going through a lot of things, I understand the temper."
He suddenly stopped walking, his eyes were still on me. "Why do you understand me that much?"
My breath hitched and I couldn't almost breathe. "I-I...I'm always like this. I-I understand people that much." Heck, why am I suddenly got nervous on where this conversation
