Ravi's POV
It's been about 1 week since Hongbin and Sanghyuk's wedding. They're out celebrating their honeymoon-ish, so we won't be seeing them for a while. Jaehwan and I have been meeting up more regularly just because, then suddenly one day he told me to get dressed up.

*ring*

Me: "Yeobeseyo!!!"

K-hwan: "R-shik!! Get dressed. Not like in your normal stuff, wear something formal. I'll come pick you up in an hour or so. Kay? Bye!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What? K-hwan? K-hwan?" He hung up on me, everyone always does. What did he mean by 'formal' though? I'll just wear a fancy shirt and some black pants, and shower too while I'm at it.

In an hour or so....

*knock knock*

"Coming!!!!" I rushed to the front door to see who it was.

"Hey! Dang, you look nice." K-hwan said. He was also wearing something like me, but not the exact same.

"Can you please explain to me where we're going now?"

"No. I can't, don't worry though, it'll be fun. Now come on!" He grabbed my wrist just as I finished putting my shoe on. We ran to the elevator and went down. When we were outside, he called a taxi and we both went in. "Oh! Almost forgot..." He reached in his pocket and pulled out some kind of fabric. "Put it on, and don't take it off until I say so."

I did as he instructed and put the thingy on. It seemed like a long time since we've been in that taxi, but I wouldn't know how long or where the hell we were going. Then the car came to a full stop and I heard money being paid to the driver. First, he got out of the car, then opened the door on my side. "Okay, carefully get out R-shik." He took my hand and I carefully got out of the car. As soon as I stepped out, it drove away and K-hwan was guiding me into some building. I heard all sorts of noises, but then it all became silent when we entered one room. "Sit down here, and don't take your blindfold off. Wait for my signal of 6 claps, then take the blindfold off."

"Okay?" He left me to go somewhere and I was sitting down. No people, no noise. However, minutes after K-hwan, somebody sat beside me. They also smelled like this familiar fragrance that I've smelled before, but I can't remember where I've smelled it.

*clap clap clap
clap clap clap*

Oh! There's the signal. I reached to pull my blindfold off, but I guess the person beside me was going to do it for me. "Thank you-"

It was him. My EX-lover. Jung Taekwoon.

"Um... Hi Wonshik?"

"WHA- HOW- YOU- I'm going home." I stood up angrily, with those tears forming in my eyes again. It's great to see him, but it also hurts me at the same time.

"Wait, Wonshik. Please, let me expla-"

"Call me Ravi. You didn't have a problem doing that before now did you? Just, stay away from me. Don't you know how much pain you've already caused me? I don't need that again. It was great to see you, but goodbye for good now." I was stomping away, by he ran up behind me and gave me a hug.

I've missed his hugs. I've missed talking to him. I've missed my Taekwoon.

"Just listen." He said from behind me.

"F-fine." We sat down again and he began the conversation.

"S-so, how have you been?"

"Just explain to me whatever to have to explain." I told him. The longer I stay with him now, the longer I'll want to cry.

"O-okay. So you remember that night, when I..."

"Broke me? Crushed my heart? Yes, I remember every detail, but please, contour torturing me."

"Umm.... So anyways, when you ran out the dorm, I picked up the flowers and the envelope. They were beautiful flowers by the way.... Anyways, when I read the envelope, I just died. The truth is Wonshik- I mean Ravi, I never stopped loving you. Every second we're apart, a tiny piece of me dies inside."

"Then why? Why'd you do it?"

"My grandfather had put me in some arranged marriage, and had told me that day when we visited him. That's why I stormed out mad... He apparently arranged it when I was very young or something, and there was nothing I could do to get out of it. So I thought, instead of breaking your heart like that, I wanted to make you mad at me instead."

"Oh, so-"

"I still love you." He stopped talking and leaned in, giving me a heart-warming kiss. His soft lips, just as I remembered.

I still love him too.
