I Want U Around

@ han jisung xx

Rhea was back in the livingroom watch tv. She had brought her knees to her chest, with her chin resting on top of them, while rocking herself back and forth nervously. Although the tv was on, she really wasn't paying attention to what was playing because she was stuck in her head, mentally fighting with herself. This always happened when she has a panic attack, her mind makes her feel worthless. Before dating Jaebum, her panic attacks were frequent and hard for her to control. Jaebum had always been able to get her to calm down and keep her from going into that dark place in her mind after having a panic attack. She pretty much hated herself that she couldn't do that for herself and still needs Jaebum.

Youngjae never dropped his genuine smile from his lips. He brought their intertwined hands up and kissed the back of her hand gently. "Come on let's get out of here and go somewhere warm." He said and helped her up. "Let's go to your house, so we can be alone just incase Jaebum and Ji-ho are back at my place." He suggested as he led them to his car.

@ Jay.B

Jaebum walked back into the living room. "Want to go grab breakfast and go see how Rhea is doing?" He asked looking at Ji-ho, who was smiling. He grinned at him then they went to the spare room to change clothes. "Where do you want to eat at? Maybe we can pick up something for Rhea too." Jaebum asked. Ji-ho nodded his head and tap on his chin to think about where to eat at. Jaebum wasn't really hungry but he knew Ji-ho would be.

Ember grabbed her things quickly but pulled back slightly. "What about my car?" She asked as she walked over to her car and unlocked it. She didn't want to just leave it here because she would need it eventually. "How about we just meet back at my place?" She suggested with a smile. He had followed her over to her car. She turned around, leaning up and kissing him softly. She definitely was liking the kissing him part.

Rhea had the tv on, but she wasn't paying any attention to whatever show was playing. She was basically staring at the tv absentmindedly, while the events from last night kept playing over and over in her head.

---

Youngjae nodded, "sure I'll follow behind you with my car." He agreed and then kissed her back. "Come on let's get out of here."

@ Jay.B

Jaebum ordered food for Rhea and Ji-ho. Asking them to wait on Rhea's food until they were getting ready to leave. They sat by the window and Ji-ho began eating. It didn't take him long to finish his food. He thought that Ji-ho was excited to see Rhea again. "Ready?" He asked as Ji-ho grabbed Jaebums hand. They arrived at Rhea's place with her food. Jaebum knocked on the door and waited.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ember looked back in her rearview mirror a few times on the way home just to see if he was behind her. They arrived at her house and walked inside. "Would you like a drink?" She asked putting her jacket up and kicking her shoes off at the door. She threw her keys on the table by the door along with her purse. She walked to the kitchen knowing he followed close behind.

@ han jisung xx

Rhea looked up towards the door when she heard the door bell rang. Sighing to herself, she knew that it was Jaebum behind her door. He only has been back for a few days and she knew he was trying to do everything to get back into her life. Rhea felt good finally telling him how he made her feel hurt, angry, and sad she had been when he left her for Yezi but also telling him about the pregnancy and miscarriage, but now she feels confused because she didn't know if she wanted to continue to hate him or not. Shaking her head, she got up and went to answer the door, knowing that Jaebum wouldn't leave.

---

Youngjae followed behind Ember into her apartment once they had arrived, closing the door after he walked in. "Sure, I can make some coffee or tea if you like. You go relax while i do that and I'll come sit with you." He offered, taking her hand and leading her to the living room to sit her down on the couch. He leaned forward to place a soft kiss on her lips, the another before stepping back. "Give me a couple minutes. Pick something for us to watch."

@ Jay.B

Jaebum stood there, holding onto Ji-ho hand as he waited for Rhea to open the door. He waan't sure she would even open up and he was about to check her hiding spot when he heard the doors start to unlock slowly. He felt Ji-ho squeeze his hand with excitement. His son really liked Rhea and he was happy that he did.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ember smiled softly glancing behind her to make sure he was still in the kitchen. She looked through Netflix and picked out one of his favorite movies. She grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch. She looked back in the kitchen but didn't see him standing there. "Youngjae?" She stood up and started towards the kitchen.

@ han jisung xx

Rhea bit her bottom lip slightly as she saw Jaebum with Ji-ho by the door with a couple of bags of food in his hand. "I should've known you would come back to check on me." She sighed softly. He hadn't changed a bit since they broke up, and a part of her like that he hadn't changed, but the other part of her still cant trust him. Rhea looked down and gave Ji-ho a soft, but small smile. "Hi, again little one." She said then stepped to the side so both of them could come in. "I'm not giving into you that quickly, Jaebum. I just know you wont leave until I let you in, so I'm saving myself the headache." She said softly only for Jaebum to hear.

---

Youngjae had started the coffee and tea pot, but then quickly left the kitchen to use the bathroom so he wouldn't have to get up during whatever movie Ember picks. He finished washing his hands before leaving the bathroom, just in time for him to hear Ember to call his name, but out of worry. "I'm here princess, I just went to the bathroom. I'll be over shortly. As soon as I finish. " he promised.

@ Jay.B

"I just want to make sure you are okay. I brought you some breakfast. Do you have to work today?" He asked looking at her real good. She looked exhausted snd like she had been crying. He frowned knowing he was the cause of all of this. He only wanted to get back on good terms with her as friends. "I'm sorry, Rhea." He said knowing he should just leave to leave her be but he needed to make sure she was okay. He walked into the kitchen as Ji-Ho went and sat on the couch after he said hello and asked if he could watch tv. Jaebum took the food out and pulled her chair out for her. "Coffee?"

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ember blushed with how quickly she got worried about him leaving. She thought she was dreaming this but hadn't slept yet. She looked over and quickly paused the movie then sit back down on the couch and waited for him. Then she decided to use the bathroom. "I'm going to use the bathroom." She said walking to the bathroom. She did her business and was washing her hands when she looked in the mirror. She noticed how messy she looked. She quickly fix herself up and put some chapstick from her lips being dry.

@ han jisung xx

Rhea shrugged her shoulders before sitting down. "I'm fine...now that I told you how I really felt after you left me and the whole pregnancy thing...which no one knew about that..." she said, looking down at her lap, then she sighed. "Yeah I'd like some coffee." She told him quietly. "I guess I dont hate you as much anymore, but Jaebum I'm not ready to fully mend things with you and go back to being normal with each other. You still hurt me and that has affected me greatly."

---

Youngjae had finished brewing the coffee, before pouring the dark liquid into two mugs. He made sure he fixed the coffee just like how Ember likes it before grabbing the mugs and headed back into the living room. He placed the mugs down onto the coffee table and smiled when he looked back to see that Ember had walked back into the room. "Hey, you ready to watch the movie?" Youngjae asked her, leaning forward to place a soft kiss against her lips.

@ Jay.B

Jaebum sighed softly and went to make her some coffee as she sat at the table. "I understand, Rhea but I still care. I've always cared. I wish you would of told me though. I would have been there. Was it stress that caused it to happen?" He asked not trying to make her upset anymore but he wanted to know. He looked back at her as she was quiet but looked like she was thinking. He knew he was the cause of everything. Him and that stupid ex of his.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ember smiled into the kiss then sat down next to him. "Mhm, i have a blanket of you want to." I say lifting the blanket next to me. I grabbed the remote and pressed play and heard him chuckle a little when he realize what we were watching. "You remember us going to see this in theater for the first time?" I asked quietly.

@ han jisung xx

Rhea sighed, not wanting to get into another argument with him. She definitely told him, like she told him that she was pregnant. It wasn't her fault that Yezi read his text messages, instead of him. "I did tell you." Was all she said before turning around to not face him. "I was in a hit and run accident. The car hit my side of the car and then sped off. I thought I was okay, until I saw the blood trickling down between my legs. Once I got to the hospital, the baby was dead." She told him after a few minutes of silence between them.

---

Youngjae smiled softly before grabbing the blanket, draping it over both of their bodies. He looked up st the screen and instantly recognized the movie. "Of course I do, babe. It's one of my favorite moments with you, although this movie is cheesy." Youngjae chuckled, but leaned down to kiss her lips softly.

@ Jay.B

Jaebum frowned and clenched his fist. He was starting to get really pissed off at Yezi. How could she do this? How could she be so low and such a bitch. "Fuck...I'm so sorry, Rhea. I know that it's not enough but I really am." He leaned against the corner and fought back tears. He was so angry with himself for never checking in with her. He easily could of asked Ember how she was but Yezi took pretty much all his free time. He hated himself for it.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ember giggled against his lips and nodded. She couldn't help but run her fingers through his hair. She definitely was slapping herself for not confessing her feelings for him sooner. He was a damn good kisser. She rested her hesd on his shoulder once they pulled away. She honestly wasn't paying much attention to it though. She was enjoying feeling his arms wrap around her in a nice warm embrace. She wasn't sure how she would feel once they had to separate for work and such. She felt at home already.

@ han jisung xx

Rhea just sighed, not knowing what to say. Him apologizing really isn't enough, but part of that was because she was scared to trust him again. "It's fine...it was two years ago." Rhea said, trying to change the subject while waiting for him to make the coffee.

---

Youngjae wasn't really paying any attention to the movie. He would just take a few glimpse of Ember, smiling when she would move closer to him. He was so happy that she was now his girl, although he wished he had told her earlier so that they wouldn't have wasted all this time not being together.

@ Jay.B

Jaebum shook his head then start fixing her coffee up how he remembered and still hope that she liked it. "You still make your coffee the same?" He said looking over at her and saw her looking at the wall. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket so he pulled it out and looked at it. "I gotta give this to Ji-ho." He walks to living room and gave the phone to Ji-ho.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ember smile softly as she looked up at Youngjae and kissed his jaw. "You are cute." She said then cuddled deeper into his side. She definitely enjoyed being in his arms. She also liked the small kisses he would give her when they caught each other staring. "How long have you liked me?"

@ han jisung xx

"I do." She said softly, taking the mug from him. Rhea nodded, taking a small sip of her coffee as he walked out of the kitchen. She sighed, feeling confused with this whole situation.

Ji-ho looked away from the TV when he saw his dad come into the room. "Who is it?" He asked Jaebum as he grabbed the phone.

---

Youngjae chuckled. "You're cuter" he responded before kissing the top of her head. He smiled at her question. "I've liked you for a few years honestly. Honestly I knew that you were the one, I just needed the confident to tell you."

@ Jay.B

"It's your cousin. Remember he was going to call you later this week. I'm going back in there." Jaebum walked back after he gave the phone to his son. "It was his cousin. He is somewhere on vacation and said he would call Ji-ho when he got there." He said after coming back into the kitchen. "How is the studio doing?" He looked at her as she was sipping on her coffee.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ember blushed when he said she was cuter but froze slightly when he said she was the one. "Few years? The one?" She whispered softly then looked away quickly when Youngjae looked at her. She knew he heard her but she couldn't look at him just yet. She was now embarrassed because she probably read into that too much. "I'm sorry..." She started to say.
