Chapter 14 - You Could’ve Broken Me Quietly,But You Held Me Instead

It rained again.

Not heavy—but soft, steady, and sad.

Like the sky was trying to cry for her.

Han Nari walked home slowly. Umbrella closed. Hair soaked.

She didn't care anymore.

The school had turned cold.

Hyun wouldn't look at her.

And her name… was a whisper in every hallway.

She stopped under a streetlight.

Took a deep breath.

Tears finally fell.

Behind Her – Footsteps

She didn't turn.

"Why do you always find me when I'm breaking?" she asked.

Lee Joon stepped closer.

"Because I always know when you need someone who won't leave."

She turned around.

He was soaked too. Hoodie sticking to his skin. Hair dripping over his forehead.

She laughed—bitter, broken.

"Why do you even care? You always push me away."

He stepped into her space. No umbrella. No hesitation.

"Because if I don't push you away, I'll fall harder. And I already can't stop."

She swallowed.

Her voice cracked:

"Then stop pretending. If you feel something—just show me."

His hands gently touched her cheeks.

Cold. Wet. Careful.

"I'm not pretending anymore."

And then—

He kissed her.

No crowd.

No interruptions.

Just the sound of rain and the silence of hearts saying everything.
