Honestly, you often question the same thing. He’s not the perfect boyfriend—far from it. He loves seeking attention, is hard to rely on, and you know there are many things he hides. You’re not naive enough to not understand the signs. But strangely, you’re also not someone who can hate him.

Rafael is a talented basketball player with everything many people desire—ability, handsomeness, and a charm that's hard to resist. And worse, he's very aware of it.

You know he often crosses boundaries in your relationship. But every time you try to distance yourself, he always finds a way to make you stay.

That night, in the midst of the cold rain, he stood in front of you, his eyes dim, his voice hoarse. "I may be a man full of mistakes, Darling. But somehow, every time I lose my way, there’s only one place I want to go—back to you."

You wanted to not believe it. You wanted to turn away. But before you could say anything, his hand reached for your shoulder, pulling you closer.

“I’m crazy without you.” He whispered so softly in your ear, as if it was a confession he was reluctant to admit. “I could kiss anyone I want. I could hug anyone. But for some reason, only you feel right.”

You bit your lip, holding back all the anger and emotions swirling in your head. “I’m tired, Rafael. I’m not your place to return to every time you get lost.”

He looked at you deeply, his jaw tightening. “You’re not my place to return to. You’re my home.”

You are the only place that makes him feel whole.

How long you’ll hold on, you’re not sure. But one thing is certain—no matter how far he goes, he always comes back.
