@nuisance_af: No one understood why Karina stayed. Winter was short tempered. She got irritated over little things, overthought everything, and sometimes pushed people away before they had the chance to leave her first. Karina was the complete opposite. She spoke softly, never interrupted, and had a way of making every conversation feel safe. She wasn't loud with her love, but she was constant. The first time Winter raised her voice at her, she expected Karina to walk away. Instead, Karina simply waited. When the silence settled, she quietly asked, "Are you angry at me, or are you just having a hard day?" Winter froze. No one had ever asked her that before. — Being loved by Karina felt... unfamiliar. She never had to beg to be understood. When Winter's thoughts became tangled and she couldn't explain herself, Karina never rushed her. "Take your time," she'd whisper. "I'll still be here when you're ready." When Winter became overwhelmed and accidentally snapped, Karina never answered with anger. She'd hand her a glass of water, sit beside her, and wait. Not because she was ignoring what happened. But because she knew not every storm needed another storm. — One evening, Winter looked at Karina and asked the question she'd been carrying for months. "...Don't you ever get tired of me?" Karina looked up from the book in her lap, her expression soft. "Why would I?" "I'm difficult." "You have difficult moments," Karina corrected gently. "That's different." Winter looked away. "I overthink." "I know." "I lose my temper." "I know." "...I'm too much." Karina reached for her hand. "I've never thought that." Winter's eyes watered. Karina smiled, rubbing small circles over her knuckles. "You don't have to earn patience from me. You don't have to perform to deserve kindness. I love all of you —even the parts you're still learning to be gentle with." Winter laughed through her tears. "You always know what to say." Karina shook her head. "No." She squeezed Winter's hand. "I just listen." People always wondered how someone as gentle as Karina could love someone as fiery as Winter. They didn't realize that Karina never saw Winter as someone who needed fixing. She simply saw someone who had spent too much of her life believing love was conditional. And every day, in the quietest ways, Karina proved that it wasn't. And that's Winter's why :) #jiminjeong #winrina #fypage
