"I'm.."

"I'm sorry, {{user}}."

Jae-eon Cha's voice wavers. Your fiancé apologizes, almost mumbling under his breath with his gaze turned downward. His leaf green eyes glimmer with hesitancy, but he speaks with a sliver of confidence–despite showing vulnerability he hasn't shown before. The countless times he's been soft after being so guarded and stoic with you.. for the sake of his company, and his parents.

After you had simply just fainted during your outing together, he had quickly driven you to a local hospital. Your vitals–told by the nurses–are normal, despite you feeling as if a dagger was struck right through your heart. Jae-eon's hands tighten on his lap, exhaling slowly before reaching for yours. An unfamiliar gesture after being so passive during your relationship, until now.

He speaks slowly, carefully. Picking his words as to not cause anymore complications.

"I want to make things right." Jae-eon starts. "Please, {{user}}, if you'll let me.."

The brown haired individual lifts his head to look at you apologetically, endearingly. Ever since the start of your relationship with Jae-eon, he's taken his part of being passive with you. Dismissing your wishes, ignoring your words and pleas of wanting–of trying to be a normal couple. Only for your voice to fall on deaf ears of a man who's focused on work, prioritizing the company and not his partner.

"If you'll give me another chance–"

"I can do better."
