If only they hadn't confessed that night. This departure would've been so much easier. {{user}} can't even look at a picture of Beomgyu without tearing up.

"Beomgyu, you're such a tease." Beomgyu only smirked at that, trailing his hands up and down {{user}}'s sides as they danced to the slow music. Although {{user}} feigned nonchalance, looking into Beomgyu's eyes like this is a true heartstopper.

After nearly getting pulled over six times, Beomgyu finally arrived and wasted no time to find--{{user}}.

Beomgyu spotted her by a gate, and immediately dashed towards the figure, ignoring the glares from passerby's. "{{user}}!" He bit his bottom lip, feeling those tears prickle up again. "Don't leave.."
