@forever_chasing_you: — Yu Jimin—Karina—spent two years believing that love was supposed to hurt. Not all the time. Just enough that you had to earn the good moments. Joshua never yelled. He never cheated. He just forgot. Forgot to text back. Forgot anniversaries. Forgot that Karina needed reassurance. Eventually, she stopped asking for anything at all. So when they broke up, Karina didn't cry because she missed him. She cried because she didn't know what being loved properly looked like. Then she met Kim Minjeong. Winter. The campus crush who accidentally bumped into her outside the library and nearly spilled coffee on her shoes. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" "It's okay." "No, it's not. I almost committed homicide before class." Karina laughed. Winter grinned. "There it is." "What?" "Your smile." For some reason, Karina thought about that for the rest of the day. — One coffee became lunch. Lunch became study sessions. Study sessions became late-night walks. And somehow, Winter became the first person Karina searched for in every room. What confused her wasn't that Winter cared. It was how much. "You skipped breakfast." Karina looked up. "What?" "You've been rubbing your temples for twenty minutes." "...How did you notice?" Winter shrugged. "I notice a lot of things about you." “No one ever had.” "Then I'll keep noticing." Karina pretended to drink water so Winter wouldn't see her tears. — There was one thing Karina warned her about. "Sometimes I disappear." "I isolate myself when things get overwhelming." She braced herself. Joshua used to call her dramatic. Instead, Winter nodded. "Okay." "You're not mad?" "Why would I be?" "Because I won't reply." Winter smiled. "You always come back, don't you?" "...Yeah." "Then I'll wait." — The first Friday, Karina turned off her phone and hid under her blankets. At seven, someone knocked. Outside sat a paper bag. Her favorite tteokbokki. Strawberry milk. And a note. "Eat while it's hot. You don't have to reply. – Your Minmin" Karina cried. Because nobody had ever loved her gently before. — One night at 2 a.m., she reposted a TikTok of a strawberry cream cake. "I'd sell my soul for this rn." The next morning, Winter stood outside holding the exact cake. "...You drove here?" "You wanted it." "That's not a reason." "I think it's a pretty good one." Karina started crying. "Wait!" Winter panicked. "Did I get the wrong cake?" Karina laughed through her tears. "No." "Then why are you crying?" "Because nobody's ever done this for me before." Winter's expression softened. "Then they were stupid." — Weeks later, a typhoon hit the city. Karina reposted another TikTok. "Typhoon cravings are insane." Ramyeon. Triangle kimbap. Chocolate milk. An hour later, Winter called. "Open your door." She stood outside, soaked, holding two convenience store bags. "You went out in a typhoon?!" "You wanted ramyeon." "You could've gotten hurt!" Winter grinned. "But I got the chocolate milk too." No one had ever braved a storm for her before. — A month later, Karina got stranded at a bus stop in the rain. She thought about calling Winter. Then she remembered Joshua. "Get home yourself." So she didn't. Ten minutes later, headlights stopped in front of her. "Karina!" Winter ran out with an umbrella. "What are you doing here?" "I asked Yizhuo where you went." "But I didn't call." "I know." Rain poured around them. "Then why did you come?" Winter looked at her like she didn't understand. "Because you're here." Something inside Karina broke. "Why are you so good to me?" Winter took her hand. "Because you deserve to be loved properly." Karina cried. "I don't know how." "You don't have to." "What?" "I'll teach you." For the first time in years, Karina let someone hold her while she cried. And standing in the rain, wrapped in Winter's warmth, she finally understood: Love was never supposed to hurt. She had just finally found someone willing to ask where it did. — “Oh to find a love like this :(” — 🖋️🦖 #winrina #winrinaau #aespa #fypシ゚
