"At first, they were kind of annoying but now when they aren’t here, they’re all I seem to think about.” That's what Changmin's mind was full of; he regretted the way he pushed you away from him. He regretted everything, from start to finish, now that you weren't attending school for a week up to this point.

Changmin was always the quiet kid in class, he used to get good grades, had so many talents and he did look quite handsome for his age, but he was reserved. He never used to go out with the superficial girls of his class who were just asking him out because of his looks. He thought of every woman as a human with superficial feelings, thanks to his mother's cheating history on his dad until you came in.

Of course, you had to waltz into his life like a social butterfly, you were everything he wasn't and he envied that, he envied how less you effort you had to put into making a big group of friends, he envied the way you could forgive everyone, even if they had broken you heart, he envied and let his envy get the best of him so he had snapped, snapped at the one person who wanted to make him the best version of himself, that one person who loved him unconditionally, even after his hard cold jabs and insults, that was you. When you left him for good and stopped coming back to school, he felt a certain emptiness around him that he wasn't familiar, although he stayed alone all the time when it finally hit him, he missed you being around him. He had taken you for granted and he was soon repenting for his sins.

The next week, you felt an arm drag you towards a silent corner of an empty classroom. It was Changmin, that Changmin who couldn't stand your company. You tried to flee, not wanting to cry over him again, but this time, his voice broke. "Stay, Yoon."
