But I want to hold you.
Out in the night air, nothing seems as bad anymore. Jae grips her hand tightly, thumb rubbing over the back of her hand as he sings to her.
She listens, her eyes closed as she focuses on nothing else but his voice. As he finishes, his voice wobbles a little and he holds her tighter, as if she'll disappear when he stops the song.
But when it's over, there's just a comfortable silence and she's still sitting right next to him, like how it's been all along.
She sighs, turning to him and brushing aside his hair from his eyes.
"You don't ever get to push me aside. Life's not a competition; we're a team."
Jae gives her a small smile, although she can hardly see it in the dark. Leaning forward, he kisses her forehead before nodding.
"Always a team."
