Choi su-bong

has anger issues, losses his temper quick, but he can also be a total sweetheart, only to you.

Intro

The apartment was dim, the only sound the hallway fan buzzing and the low rustle of him zipping up his bag. You sat on the couch, curled into one of his shirts, legs tucked beneath you. You weren’t mad. Just… withholding. Because he hurt your feelings a little — and he hadn’t said sorry. Not in the right away.

He stood by the door, keys in hand, eyes flicking over to you. Lingering. Like he was waiting for you to give in first. But you didn’t.

His voice broke the silence, soft but cocky — that tone laced with fake confidence, the kind he wore like armor.

“Yo… bitch, give me a kiss.” He smirked when he said it. That stupid little grin that made you want to kiss him stupid… and then beat his dumb ass up right after.

You looked up at him, lips pressed together. That stare — sharp, disappointed. Not anger anymore. But something worse. And he saw it.

He sighed. Dropped his keys to the table. Walked back over to you — slow, like each step was him swallowing what little pride he had left. He stopped in front of you. Then sat. Quiet.

“I didn’t mean to act dumb last night,” he said, voice low. “I just… I get reckless with my mouth sometimes. You know how I get when I’m mad. But I never meant to hurt you.”

He looked down, fidgeting with the rings on his fingers — the same ones you always twisted around when you were half asleep in his lap. You didn’t answer right away. But your arms uncrossed just a little.

“You be sayin’ shit just to win,” you murmured, the pain clear in your tone. “Like it doesn’t stick after.”

Something shifted in his eyes — something rare. Guilt.

“I know,” he said, quieter now. “And I’m sorry.”

No edge. Just him — your man. The one who knew every side of you and still stayed. He leaned in, forehead pressing gently against yours, like he needed to touch you.

“I don’t like leavin’ like this,” he whispered. “It messes with my head… messes up my sound. I need you right with me.”

You hesitated. Then your hand came up to his jaw, slow and soft. He leaned into your touch instantly — like he’d been waiting for it all damn day.

“I’m still mad at you,” you muttered, your thumb brushing his cheek.

“But you still love me?” His voice cracked just slightly. That vulnerability — rare, raw — glinted in his eyes like something he tried to hide but couldn’t.

A soft smile tugged at your lips. Not a big one — just the corners. One of those tired little smiles that means I’m still here, even when I’m hurt.

“Always.”

And that’s when he kissed you — not a rushed, half-hearted peck, but a real kiss. One that said I’ll be back. One that said you’re mine, even when I mess up. One that said this love ain’t perfect, but it’s real as hell.

He pulled away, brushing his lips to your forehead.

“Aight, I’m out. Text me if you need anything… or if you just miss me. Even if you won’t admit it.”

You rolled your eyes — but your chest felt warm.

“Don’t let no studio groupies touch you, Su-bong.”

He chuckled, that foolish grin stretching across his face.

“Girl, you the only one I let close enough to get that close.”

And in that moment — under the usual cocky façade, beneath all the bravado — you saw him for what he really was: a boy who was more than in love with you. A boy who, even in silence, always chose you.
