Haechan and Umji have been distance recently.
With him and Nct Dream's comeback and their tour, and her school life and job keeping both of them occupied.
And with both of them overthinking about their relationship, they've been avoiding each other. Well- more like Umji avoiding Haechan and him giving her space, thinking she needed it at the moment.
But he was wrong. Oh so very wrong.
She needed his embrace, his smell, needed to hear his voice, anything. She hated suffering, and she hated suffering alone even more.
The girl was working her night shift at the convenience store, tired and wanting to sleep.
It was an easy night, but she was so tired from studying and staying up late. But she couldn't help it, her thoughts kept her up. Like, what if Haechan wanted to break up with her?
That was the main thought that was circling around the rest. She really was starting to believe she was weighing down their relationship. And it terrified her.
Before her mind could dwell on it anymore, she got a text message. Hoping it was from who she wanted it to be, she opened it.

We've been thinking about this for over a year now and we finally found a nice place for us to live, and even got us tickets to move.
Daniel
u didnt even try to ask if we were okay with it??
mom i have a literal gf here
Mom
I know I know sweetie, but long distance is always a thing?
Daniel
but mom thats the problem i dont want to do long distance
thats going to be difficult
why couldnt you ask us before then?? omg
Yeeul
im totally fine w it
not like i have much friends here
Daniel
yeah well u dont have a bf yeeul.
Yeeul
okay and?
Daniel
god u and ur single ass wouldnt get it
Yeeul

Liam
yeah in the mean time get some rest
Mom
Okay, thank you. Goodnight you three, love you.
Liam

Yeeul
love you
Umji
love you :)
Umji sighed, checking the time on her phone. She saw that it was almost one, meaning she could close soon.
The news of her family being reunited again made her super happy, but Daniel's reaction put her mood down.
She could understand why he's angry though, and it's a valid reason.
daniel🤮
hey
what do u want
dont be such a jerk dude
im only here to talk to u
oh god more like a lecture
chill, no its not a lecture.
whyd you lash out on mom?
you know why
i do.
but i want to hear it from you
i lashed out at her bc she didnt think abt us; ask us or think abt our feelings
i have a literal gf here?? and im moving away to a different COUNTRY???
im super upset what if long distance doesnt work and she breaks up with me? or worse, cheats?
woah calm down
do you trust her?
yes why?
if you TRULY trust her you wouldnt be questioning her doings here while youre away
if you think she'll cheat, then its best to break up with her. im not gonna sugarcoat this
ik u have strong feelings for her, so dont let ur thoughts get in the way. if you truly like her then youll try long distance.
im just
scared? idfk
i understand that daniel
and i also understand why you lashed out at mom
you do?
yes
but did she deserve it? no
youre sixteen, you shouldnt be losing your cool like that. you should talk to her and talk abt your feelings to her.
you both are old enough to have a serious conversation
i know
im glad you do know
now i want u to also know that even tho i never met her, if you guys trust each other then youll be willing to do long distance.
listen to ur gut not ur brain
..
why are u so good at giving advice?
and u arent in a relationship like

Daniel

Umji
i have to close up
Yeeul
well!
Umji
ill ttyl?
Yeeul
okay!!
Umji sighed and closed her phone. So much for keeping her relationship secret.
But it's her family, they deserve to know. And they promised they wouldn't tell, a Kang promise.
Kang promises are different because they symbolize loyalty and trust in a family member, a stronger bond than any other. If they break the promise, they lose a family member's loyalty and trust.
And you don't want to do that.
Yawning, the girl put her phone in her jacket and made sure to lock up the shop. Then she made her way back to her dorm.
Once she got there, she unlocked her door and took off her shoes. She walked into her room to change into some pajama's and do her skin care.
Once she did all that, she decided to make her some ramen. She puts it in the microwave and while waiting for the food she hears a buzz come from her phone.

Seen
About 10 minutes later she hears a knock on her door. Getting up, she opens it just for Haechan to zoom right in.
"Well hi to you," the girl closed the door and locked it. Hearing the silence but heavy breathing, she turned towards the boy. "Hyuck you alright?"
The boy sighed and sat down. "Someone noticed who I was and chased me, they didn't follow me here though."
Hearing that, the girls heart broke. She could hear the fright and sadness in the boys tone, making her feel worse. She walked up to him and gave him a hug, hoping that helped.
And it did. The boys breathing stopped. It was all his worries fades away. He needed this, he needed her. He needed her comfort, her hugs, her kisses, her love and affection, just her.
He didn't even realize how bad he needed her until he felt warm liqud fall from out of his eyes. His sniffles were loud enough for the girl go hear, making her pull back in concern.
"Hyuck are you crying? Did I do somehing wrong? Fuck I'm sorry I—"
"I missed you so fucking much. I love you to death." He interrupted, staring at her dark brown eyes. She stared back, a feeling of love and happiness blooming inside her.
Smiling, she wiped his tears and pecked his lips. "I missed you too. Also, I love you. And I'm sorry for.. not talking to you much."
"It's okay, we're both busy." He replied, making her shake her head. They both sat down at the table, her head lowering in guilt.
"Actually, it's not because of that. I mean- yeah I'm busy, but not that busy to not talk to you. I actually was.. avoiding you." She said in a quiet voice. That made the boy freeze. Avoiding?
He looked at her, trying to meet her eyes. "Evie what do you mean by avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" He was terrified. We're they about to break up? This was all his fault.
She shook her head, "No! You didn't do anything.. I just— I guess I feel like a burden towards you."
"A burden?" He asked.
Nodding, she looked at her shaking hands. "I feel like I'm weighing down this relationship. I'm ruining your career, I'm sorry. I see all those people in your comments on your posts, you're losing fans because of me. I'm sorry I did all of this.. I'm sorry."
Haechan sighed, making her look up. "I want you to know I'm not mad at you. And you didn't cause this. Yeah, I'm losing fans, but we're they really fans in the first place? Umji, I knew getting into this relationship was going to have some bumps, but I want to be with you so bad, I don't even care. I love you, so fucking much. And I don't care if nobody supports me, because you're all that matters to me."
Hearing those words made Umji start to tear up. Her worries fading one by one. She was so scared he wanted to break up, but she was wrong.
Hearing that, she jumped into his arms and kissed him. He kissed her back, missing the feeling of her lips on his.
They pulled back, staring in each others eyes. They both tried fighting back smiles but lost. The goofy smiles appearing on both faces.
"I'm glad you feel this way. I'm sorry for overthinking, and I'm sorry for avoiding you. You didn't deserve that. I love you too Hyuck. So so much." Umji said, making the boy smile and peck her lips.
After that deep talk, they bith ate ramen and were in her bedroom getting ready for bed. He was staying over because it was too late and dangerous for him to leave.
Remembering the talk Umji had with her siblings made her suddenly stop. Making the boy look up in confusion. "Uhm Hyuck.." He hummed.
Hearing how nothing came out of her mouth, the boy looked up. He saw her playing with her nails, looking nervous. "Baby? Is everything alright?"
She breathed out, smiling. "Y-yeah, everything's alright.. but uhm, I might've told my siblings about you..."
Haechan stared at her, "Really? How'd they react.." Umji looked down, "They don't really believe me, until they see you.. they live in Australia but they're moving to Korea, so I was wondering if you would like to meet them?"
Meeting her siblings also meant meeting her parents. Which he was down to do. Nodding, the boy brought her to her bed and laid them both down. "Of course, I would love to."
Hearing that, the girl smiled widely. Thank god he isn't mad. She hugged him, cuddling into his neck. This time she was the little spoon.
