"마치 시간을 되돌린 듯 날 찾아와주길 "
[Taeyoung's POV]
I run my fingertips along the soft fullness of her cheeks, trying to take in every detail of her being with my eyes, urging to never forget this face, to never let it fade from my memory.
Her eyes lock with mine, shining just as bright as they usually do. And I swear I would be content with just looking into her eyes for all of eternity, or at least at this moment I swear.
"I still can't believe you're right here," I whisper somberly as my eyes continue to scan her face, my fingers now moving into her soft hair.
Her small hand clutches mine and places it on her chest. I can feel the melodious beating of her heart through her sweater, which is rhythmic, calming, and undeniably there.
"When will you stop looking at me as if I might disappear?" She asks softly, eyes searching for mine again.
"Never. I want to live each day as if you might be gone the next."
Her sparkling eyes falter at my words, her eyebrows knotting. Her hands come up to hold onto my face. She pulls me into her, her delicate, sweet lips coming into contact with mine. While our kisses have lost count now, it still feels like the first time.
Ever since she appeared out of thin air on that snowy day, her hair longer than I remembered, her skin brighter than the image I kept inside my memories, I have been living in a dream. For a moment, I thought she was a ghost. I assumed that I had finally lost it, and was now hallucinating her into reality. But as she kept drawing closer, it became much too clear to be a figment of my imagination.
When my arms wrapped around a substantial entity, there was no denying it. I collapsed into her, uncharacteristic sobs attacking my feeble body as I smelt her familiarity again, as my body began to remember her body and how it fits so perfectly into mine. It didn't even occur to me that she might have been coming to say goodbye officially, or that she could even be in a new relationship, none of those thoughts crossed my mind before I consumed her lips, kissing her as if I would never be able to again.
And now, a week later on Christmas Day, I am still in awe of the glowing girl in my arms; a girl who seems to shine even brighter than before.
Every day I battle with myself, disappointed in how I acted when she said she needed to leave, to get help. I didn't help her, and instead, I made her leave me with more questions than before. I hated her, I admit that. I hated her for a long while. I was so selfish to think in this way, to hold a grudge against her just because she needed to fix herself. And once I finally realized how ridiculous and disgusting I was being, it was already too late. So I have made a vow to myself to make it up to her each and every day.
And I will continue to do so.
When her lips finally part from mine, I lean my forehead against hers, wanting to be as close to her as I can.
"You are the greatest Christmas present I will ever receive."
