đź warnings: mention of a funeral (but no one dies, it's just a description), awkward socialisation
đź word count: ~3k

"Ugh!!" Your head is in your hands, sitting in the middle of your newly-furnished apartment, mulling over the incident. A part of you feels bad for saying all that out, but how were you to know the mic was on?
A knock on your door breaks you out of your struggle. You sigh and pull yourself up. When you open the door, you're surprised to see Wonwoo outside. His mouth is set in a mocking smile, all the previous friendliness and teasing tone gone.
He cuts in before you can ask what he's doing here. "You really think you're better than everyone, don't you?"
"What?" You ask in shock.
"You must have had a smooth life, right? I told you before, Miss L/N. This isn't the city." He continues coldly, not a usual shred of humour in that sentence to be seen. "We live differently from you bigshots in the city, that's true. We make honest livings, and everyone has had their fair share of struggles. And what did you say -- 'too simple it's aggravating'? I'm not sure you know about anything any one of us has gone through. I humoured you at first because I thought you were just awkward with us, but I guess I shouldn't have." He gives a mirthless laugh.
You snap, "If this is about earlier, just stop. I don't need you to rub it in."
He raises his eyebrows. "You went around calling us all simpletons in essence, but you get upset the moment I call you out for it?" You shoot a glare at him, but he continues, unfazed.
"Listen here, Doctor. Life isn't so fair on everyone. You may have had it easy, but a lot of people spend their lives on unpaved roads, and some run at full speed only to reach the edge of a cliff. You have no right to undermine that, got it?"
He stalks off without looking back.
You slam the door shut and return to the middle of the room, fuming. Not even three minutes later your pity party is interrupted by yet another knock on the door.
Fed up, you storm to the door and pull it open, ready to vent on the man...
"Delia??" You ask, and she breaks into a smile. "Surprise!"
"What are you doing here?!" You burst into tears and crush her in a hug. Her expression turns into one of concern. "Wha- are you okay??"
"I messed up!" You sob into her shoulder as she hurriedly comforts you and pats you on the back. "When I was telling you about the town, I was in the broadcast room, and it played out for everyone to hear."
"Oh." Delia pauses the patting for a second before pulling away from the hug. "Yeah, you really did screw up."
"Delia!" You wail. "What now? I can't face them anymore. I'll have to move out, but I'll be unemployed. I-"
"Okay, calm down, shh, shh," Delia says, rubbing your back to soothe you. "It's okay. Just apologise -- sincerely -- and make sure you don't do it again." After a pause, she asks, "Is that why I saw Chief Jeon walking down the path earlier?"
"You saw him?" You ask, stricken. "Did he say anything?"
"No, he just smiled and said hello," Delia replies. "He didn't seem any different."
"Crap," You groan, leaning against the couch.
"Yup, crap indeed," Delia says bracingly. "Look, really, try to have fun here, okay? I know this wasn't your first choice, but a lot can happen in three months. I think you need to give them a chance before you say anything. I mean, if someone just assumed shit about you, you'd be mad too, right?"
You shrug. Delia rolls her eyes. "Go take a walk or something to clear your head. You might go do something rash if I keep on yapping, so go on."
You throw on a cardigan over yourself and make your way out the door with Delia's encouragement. You finally walk to the harbour, rather chilly at this time of night, and to your dismay, you spot Chief Jeon, sitting with Seungkwan and Joshua along the steep step at the top.
Oh. It was all three of them.
You brace yourself to walk right past them but sigh, Delia's words replaying over and over in your head. But they probably hated you now, you reasoned. So if you walked past them, they might not even bat an eyelash.
As you approach, Joshua looks up and raises his eyebrows. "Why're you here?"
"Walk," You reply hesitantly, trying to avoid eye contact. Seeing them again, in person, like this -- amplifies the embarrassment you feel. You can feel your ears turning red.
Chief Jeon huffs. "Sit down. You're not at a court sentencing or something."
Seungkwan finally looks up at you and motions with his head slightly, and that is your cue to sit, a small distance away from the three men.
"That," Chief Jeon says, pointing at the large, red lighthouse in the distance, glowing with bright lights against the night sky, "is the lighthouse. Fishermen use it lots when they can't get back before nightfall. It helps them navigate, and make sure they don't hit rocks and capsize."
You look at him curiously. "What?"
"Miss Hwang -- you've met her, the cafe owner-- can be a bit of a chatterbox, but she's really friendly. She's noisy, but she has a good heart, and she makes good company on lazy days." He continues, as if he hasn't heard you.
"Hey," Joshua nudges him, amusement on his face. "Tell her about Grandma Lee."
"Grandma Lee is everyone's family," Chief Jeon adds, a fond expression on his face as he looks out to sea. "She's lived here all her life, so she's watched practically everyone grow up, and she's seen lots of them come and go. She... she raised all three of us when we were kids, actually."
"She's the best person ever, and she's a good cook." Seungkwan tells you, the first sentence he's said to you since the fiasco.
Your confusion doesn't ebb. "What on earth are you three talking about?"
Chief Jeon rolls his eyes. But it's Joshua who speaks up first.
"We were getting to that," He says. "We're angry, yeah, that you jumped to the conclusions of us being simple that it was annoying. And Wonwoo was right that everyone's lives are different and you really shouldn't have said that." You're ready to retort, but Chief Jeon cuts in.
"You must be angry about what I said earlier."
"You know meddling can be dangerous, right?" You return. "You probably haven't caught up to the world yet."
"Probably," Chief Jeon shrugs. "But I'd appreciate it if you met them halfway."
You huff.
"I know this wasn't in your plans," Chief Jeon continues.
"...But?"
"This may sound old-fashioned, but this town hasn't had too many city people come in to stay," Seungkwan adds, tossing a pebble in the air and catching it. "So we're very tight-knit and our behaviour can be different from city people."
"Sounds exhausting," You mutter.
"Yet you chose to open a clinic here. Don't we all need some time to adjust?" Chief Jeon asks you. When you don't reply, he says, slightly sighing. "We were talking about it, and we figured all people make mistakes. Strictly speaking, it's not like you knew the mic in that room was on."
"We badmouth everyone at some point anyway, right? And everyone is probably talking shit about you right now," Seungkwan shrugs. "So you're all even. It's time for you to start over."
"And we want to tell you about life here," Joshua says, not unkindly. "So we can get to know each other a bit more, and we won't just be awkward up until you leave."
You stay silent, your irritation fading slightly. Perhaps these three weren't that bad.
Seungkwan launches into a quick briefing of the villagers. You find out that Mrs Woo, your landlord, has a seven-year-old son, who's top of his class and a quiet but obedient boy. That a young couple is running a small convenience store near the main path, and they're expecting a second baby soon. Wonwoo and Joshua stay silent, mostly, only chiming in very occasionally.
You don't say much, simply nodding at the right places, until Seungkwan snaps his fingers. "Ah, right! Reminds me, have you given out rice cakes?"
You stare at him in utter confusion, only for all three men to stare back at you, baffled. "You haven't? Seriously?" Wonwoo asks incredulously.
"No wonder," Joshua muses, before explaining. "You ever heard of the custom of handing out rice cakes when a business opens or when you move in?"
You nod slowly. "I thought that was a past tradition."
"Some of us see it as a form of courtesy," Joshua replies. "We'll help you make them, so pass them out. Maybe they'll take it as an olive branch."
You nod hesitantly. "Okay. I see."
Wonwoo shakes his head in mock amusement. "All those brains to be a doctor, and you really forgot rice cakes?"
You shoot him a wilting look, and he cracks a smile. "Don't start on your spiel about city life again."
"I wasn't going to," You say obstinately, but you know damn well you were on the verge of it.

To little surprise on your end, no one really changes their impression of you even after the rice cakes three days after you move in.
Some accept it with barely-there enthusiasm, while some don't even bother to spare you a second glance. It was expected, you muse, as you exit your twelfth household of the day.
"Miss Doctor!" A voice you know all too well calls out to you, and you look up wearily.
"What?"
"You handing out rice cakes?" He asks, outstretching his hands to take the few tins you have in your hands.
"Yeah. You guys said to."
He huffs. "Show some backbone about it, would you? You're promoting your clinic, not a funeral."
You cross your arms. "You try getting brushed off by so many people and see if you can still keep that grin on your face."
He rolls his eyes. "Don't be a baby. I bet you just went in, said "I hope you come to the clinic!" without apologising, and left."
You stay rooted to the ground. "So?"
He looks at you, shock on his face. "Did you really think that's enough? Of course no one would be convinced! An apology would be more than welcome."
You shrug, already worn out. "Whatever."
"Don't get grumpy on me," He says bracingly. "That's pathetic. Where's your friend, by the way?"
"Back in Seoul." You shrug.
He rolls his eyes. "Alright. Come with me this evening."
"What?"
"You're pretty stubborn. I said, meet me this evening. We're going somewhere."
"Wher-"
He stalks off, his hand stuck up in a wave.
"Idiot," You mutter.

You meet him at the junction near the small convenience store at the junction at six sharp.
"Oh, you're here early," He remarks as he approaches you. "Come on. We're going to the village meeting."
"What?" You recoil instantly, and he clicks his tongue. "Don't be a baby, honestly. Come on."
He leads you, with lots of complaining, back to the same place with the broadcast room. This time, you hear the buzz of people's voices, some laughter, lively conversation from inside.
Your hesitation is obvious as Wonwoo ushers you, and he sighs. "I'm giving you a chance to go in and try making things right. They need you as a doctor like you need them as companions, you know?"
You try to glare at him, but with your unwillingness and nerves combined, it's much milder than usual. He's clearly unbothered as he cocks his head towards the room. "I'll catch up with you. Go on."
"You're not coming?" The words shoot out, more alarmed than you intended.
"Time's a-ticking. I'm not the one who should apologise, Miss Doctor."
You huff, turn your back to him, and steel yourself. "Fine." Your heels crunch into the gravel as you walk towards the room.
He watches you as you march away.
You open the door warily, and all eyes turn to you. Disgruntled mutters break out as you step in awkwardly, but Seungkwan and Joshua, who are already sitting cross-legged near the back, smile slightly and wave you over to sit with them. Amongst the not-so-discreet chatter of the grandmothers who eye you disapprovingly, you make your way through and sit next to them in relief.
The conversation is muted until Ms Hwang asks (although it sounds more like a confrontation to you), "Why are you here, Doctor?"
"Um..."
Seungkwan clicks his tongue before he cuts in, clearly sensing your discomfort with all the villagers staring at you, not kindly in the slightest. "She's living here with us in the town now! Of course, she should be here."
Joshua murmurs assent, hand coming up to pat your shoulder in comfort. You try to smile awkwardly, and the villagers go back to mumbling under their breaths. That is until the door opens and Wonwoo comes in. He's carrying a box of fruits, you observe, and the villagers make way for him on autopilot. He sets the large box down, makes eye contact with you, and breaks out into a grin.
"Ah, Miss Doctor! I see why you needed my help carrying this in." He makes a show of stretching his back. "This is rather heavy, huh?"
"Wha-" You start to ask, but Seungkwan jabs you in the ribs. He's smiling when you look at him, and you finally figure out the act.
The murmurs continue, but more so in surprise, and as Wonwoo looks around in mock confusion, he deliberately chuckles out. "Ah, Miss Doctor heard about the village meeting today. She went to get fruits for everyone, but it was too heavy. She didn't even want my help until I insisted!"
The three grandmas turn to look at you, but the air of disapproval is replaced by something more questioning. The change is rather welcomed, though, the feeling of being scrutinised slowly fading. You manage to laugh out awkwardly.

The meeting goes without a hitch. The villagers help themselves to the peaches and apples Wonwoo â âyouâ broughtâ as your landlord addresses the issues of village cleaning and trash bags. Joshua even throws in a few deliberate praises on your choice of fruits. As the sky outside darkens, your landlord finally wraps up, and she adds, "Let's all thank Y/N for bringing fruits today, okay?"
A few mumbles of thanks are heard, but that alone sends endless relief through you.
Everyone files out after a while, goodnight's and see you's exchanged. You hang behind the rest, walking with Wonwoo. Seungkwan and Joshua go on ahead, saying they want to have an early night.
He stops you at the junction and holds out his palm.
"What?" You ask.
"53,000."
"Huh?"
"53,000 won."
"Wha-"
"For the fruits. I didn't want to say this to you earlier."
You huff and reach into your bag, but he stops you. "Bank transfers are fine. I'm not going on another wild goose chase with you for money."
"God, do you ever get tired?"
He chuckles at your annoyed tone before speaking again, slightly warmer and less sarcastic. "Good job today. I think the grandmas are warming up to you."
Before you can respond, he's striding back down the path, waving goodbye to you.

word count : 2.9k

˰ â° âJEONGHAN.
The signs that something was wrong were there. For a while now. But you being the problem runner you were, you chose to ignore it.
You also knew one day theyâll catch up to you, and it seemed today was it.Â
âJeonghan?âÂ
He raised an eyebrow at you. Though it was his name, it sounded so foreign coming from you.Â
You who never called him by his full name. It left a sour taste on his tongue as he answered,
âYes?â
âDo-do you think weâre good?â
Did he think you were good? He was feeling good, great even. But you asked in plural and in the plural it included you. Your relationship.
What was your relationship?
âUhhâŚIâmâŚI think?âÂ
You smiled at his answer. It didnât reach your eyes, nor did it hide away the bitterness in them. âYou know what I think? I donât think weâre good. I think- I think itâs all a mess. Itâs me, isnât it? I should have never told you how I felt right?â
There. You ripped the band-aid off right from the wound. You had to, otherwise you knew your heart would be the one shattered, sooner or later, so why wait?
You knew thereâd be consequences on confessing to your best friend. You knew there was always a risk to confess but the risk felt higher if it was someone you considered your best friend. A few sentences and itâs either having a stranger who you shared a past with or someone to create more memories for the rest of your time together.Â
The issue gets more complicated when you donât know where you stand.Â
He couldnât answer you, he didnât know how to answer you. On one side, he wanted to yell at you. Yell at you for regretting confessing when it may have been the one thing he wanted to hear since the day thirteen year old him saw you beat up a guy who was bullying your brother.
On the other hand, he felt the fear consume him of the future, what if you broke up? You would never be the same, no matter what. He didnât want to lose what he had, so he rather left it unanswered, thinking with time, itâll fade away. Like everything does.
His feelings for you never did. A wonder how he could think yours would.
Taking a deep breath with your eyes shut,you nodded knowing your answer,
âAlright then I see.â
âLetâs take a break from each other.â
Break of what? You didnât date, you were in a one-sided love scenario with your best friend.Â
Before he could reply, he watched you walk away. Your heart felt heavier when you didnât hear a single word or even footsteps follow you.Â
His mind was the loudest and one thing he was for sure, as you walked away with each step, he could feel his heart slowly crack.
And just like that. It is over.Â

ăťâ âšđĽ âJOSHUA.
Perhaps your biggest mistake was wanting someone who everyone wanted. But was it really your mistake because technically you were also part of everyone.Â
You could feel his stare burn into your side as you ate the horrible cafeteria food in your college. You could somehow hear his voice, somehow know he was likely calling you to talk.
What went wrong?
Everything youâd answer if he ever asked. It began going downhill when you felt those feelings you knew you didnât feel around anyone. Certainly when you hung out with Yeonjun or with Jimin, you didnât feel them.Â
You only felt them around him. The weird butterflies, the warm cheeks, the sweaty hands. At first you thought maybe you were actually scared of him, the intimidated type of scared. Who knew it ended up being scared of how you felt for him, how probably no one made you feel the way he did.Â
Finally looking up at him, you hid all your emotions as best as you could. You certainly hoped he wouldnât be able to know.Â
But as your gaze fell to the girl beside him, you couldnât hide them.
Choi Seora, the younger sister of Choi Seungcheol who was Joshuaâs best friend since you could know. Well since that time he told you himself he knew the Choi siblings since they were kids. Childhood best friends. Knew them before you.
And she was also the girl who loved him. Anyone could see it from the way her eyes would look at him like the way one would at a treasure theyâd been searching for. What sheâd do for him, from what youâve heard, what youâve seen. There never was a chance.
It seemed as though the sign was already there. How could you compete with someone who knew him longer than you ever would? Itâs not a competition if you already know you're losing.Â
Your unused hand clenched under the table, nails digging into your palms, leaving crescent marks that would bruise. Perhaps it would be in a similar state to the bruise inside your chest.
It fucking sucked when you could still feel his gaze on you as you turned back to stare at your half eaten bowl of pasta. Well, excuse of a pasta.
Suddenly you felt your phone ring from beside your bowl and you knew who it was before you even looked.Without looking at the name, you moved your hand to the switch off button and shut it off.
You wished there was such a button for emotions.Â
âShua? Who are you calling?â It was empty in the cafeteria and you thought you might just puke out the pasta when you heard her sweetly call out to him as she looked at him with concern.
But for now, youâd do what seemed right.Â
Leaving your bowl of uneaten pasta, you grabbed your bag and phone. With one glance at Joshua whose attention was on you but now turned back to Seungcheol and Seora as they said something, you walked away.
The last thing Joshua heard was the sound of the cafe doors closing and when he turned his attention back to what or specifically the one who had been in his mind since the first time he met, he found you were gone.
At that moment, Hong Joshua felt more miserable than he ever did before.

ââ§ âJIHOON.
The lump in your throat got bigger as your vision got blurrier. You knew you should have listened to your friends.
Jihoon isnât the type of person to be in a relationship with, babes, he doesnât want that commitment stuff.
Itâs what Karina had told you when you told her you were in love with him. Head over heels type.
But when it came to you, the determined type, the one who stood their place no matter what. The unwavering pebble in the ever-so drifting waves of the ocean. You believed that perhaps if you tried hard enough, surely the boy would see your efforts.
It wasnât just a one-sided thing you knew. Otherwise another thing he was known for was being honest. If he didnât like it, you were sure youâd have stopped. You didnât think you were insane for thinking he may just like when you saw him smile at you for bringing him coffee. You didnât think you were insane for thinking he may just reciprocate your feelings when you saw him hiding his face from complementing his work ethics. Perhaps, it was all in your lovesickness you drew these conclusions and many others.Â
So where did you mess up?
âFucking hell! Just leave me alone and stop acting like a clingy partner!âÂ
Thatâs what it got you. It was as though the words slapped you in the face. You surely did feel like it when you flinched taking a step back and your cheeks warmed in a mix of embarrassment as well as hurt. It wasnât the kind of warmth that pleased you, it was the kind that burned you. Harshly so you felt it in your entire body.
Maybe it was your fault after all, you noticed he was having a bad day and you made the effort to go and comfort him. As you did.Â
Maybe maybe maybe, always maybe your fault and always yours.Â
Maybe you should listen to him then.Â
Inhaling with what dignity you had left, picking up the pieces of your heart that seemed shattered the minute he finished the sentence, you glared at him and spat out words laced with an equally venomous tone.
âFine then! Youâre saying it's my fault but you know what, maybe everyone is bloody right about you! Youâre nothing but a coward scared of commitment!â
âThe day youâll realize youâre nothing but a coward who gets scared at the mere thought of being in a relationship and pushes someone away because maybe there is a chance you like them, itâll be too fucking late because guess what? Iâm tired of this stupid push and pull game with you,Jihoon.âÂ
âGoodbye.â
You hated how your voice cracked when you finished speaking. You hated how you could not stop the tears. You especially hated the look on his face as he saw what he did, what his words did.
With what energy you had left in you, you turned around and walked away.
Enough was enough, you couldnât win over someoneâs heart who wasnât even sure whose hands it should lay in.Â
Yet one thing was sure, yours laid in his hands and right then, you sure felt like he crashed it into pieces.Â

âĄâË â SEOKMIN.
Seokmin glowed like the moon solely rose up to soak in his light, like the stars twinkled off his radiance. Maybe,you just got too close to the sun, enchanted with its brightness, to not realize just how much it could burn you. He was your sun. No actually the sun,stars, moon whatever celestial body existed perhaps dimmed down compared to him.Â
You think it messed you up completely when you kissed him in that truth or dare game surrounded by your mutual friends. You think about the stolen kisses, never more, just kisses in between the times youâd pass by in the hallways, pulling him in a cramped space and leaving with flushed cheeks and swollen lips. Again, just kissing.Â
Simply put, you were addicted to him. To the way he made you feel. To the way he made you tingle when he kissed you so gently.Â
You didnât want to address the elephant in the room. Or in this case,Â
What were you two?
Mingyu asked when you were sitting down in the same circle, just like the first time youâd kissed each other, with the same people.Â
You hesitated and then said, uncharacteristically enthusiasm lacing your voice,
âFriends of course! Don't be ridiculous Gyu.â
You didnât like that word, and it seemed he didnât either as he looked away,gulping in distaste and a scoff on his face that was usually unnatural for the sunshine like a boy. Seemingly going unnoticed by you but said boy who asked the question noticed and glanced back at you to see if you noticed. He sighed when he saw you not looking at Seokmin but raised an eyebrow as he saw you in a dilemma.Â
Right. Friends. Friends who kiss. But still friendsâŚfriends?
You tried convincing yourself the rest of that day that adding a label would ruin things. It always does. You should enjoy it while you can, right? It was all in fun?
So why did you feel terribly down when Seokmin refused to talk to you for the rest of the day?
âSeok?â You asked gently and he sighed exhaustingly as he looked at you,
âPlease, please donâtâŚdonât call me that.â
The look of hurt on your face made him hate himself more because why would anyone like to hurt someone they loved?
Before you opened your mouth to speak, he continued,
âI don't think I can do this anymore, thisâŚwhatever this is. I amâŚsorry.â
And without a chance to ask more questions or give any answers, he turned around and walked away.
This was your fault. You hurt him because you couldnât admit it to yourself that youâŚthat you loved him.Â
You loved him more than the universe, you loved him since the day you saw him. You were just scared you'll lose him like the way you lose all your loved ones. You were scared of risks. You wereâŚa coward.
And now it seemed, it was too late to do anything about it.

â ŕ¨ŕ§ Ë.âSEUNGKWAN.
Seungkwan and you were fire and water. Milk and lemons. Politicians and caring for the countryâs people- Okay too far perhaps and enough of these metaphors of incompatibility to get a point.
You were sworn enemies. Despised each other in the true forms of hate. You hated him so much for the emotions he rose in you that you couldnât stand him ruining another poor innocent soul with his devious eyes and cunning smile.
Which was exactly what he was doing with the girl wrapped around his left arm, additionally whispering probably lame jokes that made her giggle as though they were the funniest thing on earth. Lee Yuna was her name, you knew her as a cheerleader due to seeing her during your basketball games and also being somewhat acquainted because as a captain, it was apparently in your duty to know everyone especially those involved in the sports sector of your university.
You wish you could cross off knowing Seungkwan but alas, being the midfielder of the boysâ soccer team and the apparent star as well didnât help in your case.Â
âI smell something burning and oh! Would you look at that! Itâs an ugly green color too!â Sakura said as she smirked at you, pretending to take a sip of her drink when you directed your glare at her.Â
âFuck. You.âÂ
âYou wish-â
âOh! hey cap!â A voice said before you could retort to Sakura and you turned to see Vernon smiling at you in greeting. You knew him, of course you knew all of Seungkwanâs little friend group. You frowned at him eyeing him in suspicion. He was Seungkwanâs friend after all.
âWhy the frown?â Sakura snorted as he asked you,his attention going to your best friend before she pointed at him and it was as if he understood and nodded.
âOhhh, I see whatâs the matter now.â
âSomeoneâsâ Coughing very fakely, he added, âJealous.â
Shutting your eyes, you looked at him with a glare enough to make him shut up on his own but still you added,
âSay that again and Iâll-â
âAlready giving death threats huh? Maybe you should really go check up on that stick up your ass.â Of fucking course, now is when he decided to show up.
As though his eyes had not been searching for you the moment he stepped in the party. As though he hadnât noticed you the moment you did. As though it wasnât just an elaborate plan to rile you up.
You looked at him and fuck. Fuck he made you so angry with how fucking good he looked despite the conditions of the party. His blonde hair shining in the colorful lights and the darn smirk on his face.Â
âKwan. How nice of you to show up! Just the person I was waiting for!â Your sarcasm could be sensed by those around, Sakuraâs attempt at hiding her snort and Vernonâs brows raised not going unnoticed. They looked at each other briefly and a knowing look was exchanged.
Here we go again.
âAw you were waiting for me darling?Hope I wasnât too late, just got a little busy you see?â
âClearly.â You said before thinking, the scowl on your face visible and the smugness on his face only grew larger.
âNot fond of me with someone else?â You didnât even notice how both Vernon and Sakura had left, seemingly only Seungkwan and you, in the midst of drunk teenagers and perhaps lovesick ones, perhaps loners.Â
He got closer, closer that made you clench your hands that hung on your sides, leaning down.
âNot fond of me with anyone but you?â
It was as though his voice put you in a trance, or maybe it was how his warm breath tickled your neck. And for the first time in a while you thought of what he said, deeper than you would have ever.
You werenât sure if you liked the answer. Or what it exactly implied too.
âStay in your limits Kwan. Donât fucking- donât play this shit with me.â You pushed him away as harshly as you could, even if it felt like your hands burned when you thought of what you did. Purposefully ignoring the look in his eyes. Visible hurt and a frown on his face, you turned around, having enough.
âDonât come after me. Stay with Yuna or whoever, I donât fucking care.â You donât know why you said the last sentence. You also donât want to know why it felt bitter saying it.
With that, you began to walk out, gulping the fresh air that was much needed after being in that suffocating place, suffocating feelings.
As you shut your eyes, you gulped thinking of what you were doing. Why were you so pissed off?Â
And maybe you realized, you needed to check on the line that was drawn between Seungkwan and you. Perhaps itâs become too blurry to distinguish it from hatred and love.
