Chapter 29

Hoseok and the others boarded the plane, he sat at the window, he looked down at the bracelet on his wrist. He really hoped Aya will find it in her heart to understand why he did what he did.

Aya's tears stopped, chubby was licking her face, the other two climbed on her lap. She gave a slight smile. "I love you guys so much." She put Chubby in her lap with the other two pups.

Carl quietly entered. "Aya?" Aya sat with her back to him. She was playing with the pups. "Aya?" His voice came out as a whisper. He walked to her and kneeled next to her.

Aya cocked her head to look up at him. "Carl, I just..." He placed his hand on her shoulder. "Aya I have known you since we were kids, I understand you needed space to recollect yourself."

Aya looked back down. "Ye...Yeah. I am sorry for snapping at you." Carl let out a sigh. "No, I am the one who is sorry. Sorry that I didn't tell you." Aya shook her head. "Hoseok should have told me."

"Aya, how do you feel about Hoseok?"

"I... I am in love with him but..."

"No, buts Aya. If you love him, hear him out. Let him explain his actions to you."

Aya scratched Chubby's ear. "I was taken by surprise, I just felt so betrayed Carl."

"I understand that Aya, but think about his feelings as well and not only yours."

"Your right, I have been a bit selfish."

"Only a bit?" Carl playfully bumped her shoulder.

"Okay, a lot." She smiled. "I'll take your advice, and think it through with a clear mind." 

"I think my emotions are clouding my judgement."

Carl kissed the top off her head. "That is my girl. I will be here for you if you need to talk more. So go home and recollect yourself, okay?"

"Alright, thank you, Carl."

He stood up. "I'll put them back."

Aya also stood. "I'll see you on Wednesday." He only replied with a nod. Aya left, waiting for the bus, she took out her phone. No new message, it seems Hoseok wanted to give her space.

She got to her apartment, she sunk on the couch, she took out her phone again. It was opened on Hoseok's number. She put the phone back down.

She laid back, closing her eyes. Her thoughts were a mess, she inhaled, exhaled, she picked up her phone again.

"Hi, Hoseok... I know you'd probably didn't expect to hear from me. I would like to apologise for my outburst. I only took my feelings into consideration and did not think about how you felt."

She deleted the message and retyped.

"Hi, Hoseok, I had time with my thoughts, I would like to hear your side of the story. I am sorry that I didn't take your feelings into consideration."

She reread the message, will he respond? She pressed the sent button, she closed her eyes, Carl was right she was only thinking about herself and her hurt, she didn't give him a chance to explain properly.

Her mind went back to the airport, her argument she had with Hoseok, only now she remembered the look on his face, the remorse that was on it. He really was sorry for his actions.
