you hear your phone ringing in the distance and you go grab it, a video call from taehyun. “hey, what’s up?” you ask as you fix your hair in the camera.
taehyun greets you and smiles, “nothing really, just wanted to talk to you.”
“how have you been?” he asks, fixing his camera.
you shrug, “i guess i’ve been okay.”
taehyun looks at you with an eyebrow raised, “serious?”
you nod, “as serious as i can be.” you take a deep breath, “how’s soobin?” you ask hesitantly.
“he’s good, i think he went out to eat with someone today.” taehyun tells you as you nod at him bitterly. “you have such a sour expression y/n.”
“was it a girl?” you question.
taehyun nods, “yeah, but-”
“well it’s good that he’s doing good.” you tell taehyun.
the two of you spend the rest of the call catching up as it’s been a while, but you couldn’t help but think about soobin with someone else already. even though it’s been about two months, you haven’t gotten over him, and a little part of you hopes he hasn’t gotten over you either.
“can you not mention this to soobin?’ you ask, as you tuck yourself into bed with your phone in one hand.
taehyun nods, “yeah, of course.” “but i think you should talk to him, he misses you too y/n.”
“yeah maybe i’ll stop by your dorms sometime this week.” you grinned.
“okay, goodnight y/n.” he says, before hanging up the call.
you lay in bed and sigh, eventually falling asleep.
you walk into the big building and look around, the staff greets you as you see the elevator door open a little further down the hallway.
soobin walks out the elevator, laughing with a girl besides him. they begin walking towards you and you quickly run into the stairwell deciding to walk upstairs to the gym where taehyun was hanging out right now.
when you get to tjhe gym, taehyun sees you catching your breath as you walk in, “did you run here?” he asks jokingly.
“i,” you begin, still catching your breath, “i went up the stairs.”
taehyun hands you a water bottle, “why didn’t you just take the elevator?
“uhm, it was being maintenance.” you tell him, as the elevator rings and hueningkai walks out of it.
taehyun looks at you and laughs, “i’m just going to pretend you didn’t like just now.”
you laugh and sit down on the bench as taehyun picks up his weights and kai walks over to you, “hi noona!” kai greets, very bubbly.
“are you here to see soobin?” “i think he’s on his way here, he was just walking someone to their car.” kai asks as he begins to stretch.
“what?” you ask, a little confused.
the elevator rings and soobin walks in with a smile on his face, his eyes land on you and he frowns.
taehyun puts the weights down and whispers to hueningkai to get up and come with him, leaving you with soobin alone in the gym.
“y/n?” soobin asks, sitting down beside you.
you take a deep breath, “hey.”
“it’s been a while hasn’t it?”
you nod your head, “yeah it has.”
the air was thick, and you sat next to each other awkwardly.
“so-” “was that” you both began in unison.
“you can go first.” you tell him laughing.
“was that you in the stairwell earlier?” soobin asks, looking away from you.
“oh… yeah” you chuckle, “that was me.”
“how come you took the stairs and not the elevator? the gym is so far up.” he asks, finally looking at you.
you shrug, “to get my steps in, you know?”
“you? working out? pfft.” he jokes.
“well honestly,” you begin, “i was avoiding you.”
soobin looks at you confused, “why?”
“i saw you.” you purse your lips, “with the girl?”
“do you like her? she’s pretty.” you smile, looking away from him again.
“no, we’re just friends, we just go out to eat from time to time and hang out.”
you nod, about to speak but your phone alarm rings. “i hate to cut our conversation short, but i’ve got to go.” you tell him, standing up.
soobin stands up with you, “i’ll walk with you.”
the two of you walk towards the elevator and go down together, the awkwardness was still there, as well as the silence.
when you reached the lobby, soobin walks you to the front, “maybe we can talk more some day?”
you smile, “sure, i’ll see you soon, tell terry i said bye.”
soobin nods as watches you walk off as you step into a taxi, off to wherever you were headed.
“so, what did you guys talk about?” taehyun asks, as you sit in the back of the taxi on your way home from work.
“nothing much, he told me about that girl.” you tell taehyun, sighing.
“i think he told you so that you didn’t get the wrong idea, he still loves you y/n.”
you take out of one your earbuds and tell the taxi driver to stop here. you get out of the vehicle after paying for the ride and make your way up to your apartment.
“you think he still loves me?” you ask, with a slight laugh.
you hear taehyun’s room door open and listen to the familiar voice in the background.
i miss her is all you heard before taehyun put himself on mute.
i miss you too. you thought to yourself as you threw your phone on your bed to change into something more comfy.
taehyun eventually ended the call telling you he would call you back, but in fact he didn’t call you back and that’s how you ended up in the txt dorms two days later.
“you’re so rude for not calling me back, honestly.” you tell him as you pour water in the cup.
“i’m sorry, i just got distracted.”taehyun tells you as he fixes his hair in the mirror.
soobin walks into the dorm, “oh, y/n you’re here again?”
you nod, “yeah, i was just bored at home, and taehyun never stays on call with me anymore.” you whine, jokingly.
taehyun rolls his eyes and walks over to where hueningkai was very immersed in his console.
soobin walks beside you and smiles as he always pours himself a glass of water, “can we talk?” he whisper asks.
you nod, “yeah, let’s go outside though.”
the two of you guys sit outside in the hallway on the floor, “y/n, i’ve really missed having you around.” he tells you as he swishes the ice in his water around.
“yeah, i’ve missed you too.” you confess, very hesitantly.
soobin sighs, “it’ll never be the same.”
you lean your head on soobin’s shoulder, “probably not, but at least we’re here together, right?”
soobin turns his head and looks down at you on his shoulder, “every couple fights though, right?”
you sigh and sit up straight again, “soobin, that fight showed us how different we are, we aren’t compatible.”
soobin looks at you sadly.
you lean your head back on soobin and wrap your arms around his torso, “we can’t be together soob.”
soobin kisses the top of your head as his eyes water, “i know.”
you feel tears begin to drip from your eyes, “i don’t understand, but i love you.”
soobin wraps his arms around you, i love you too. he thought to himself, as the two of you sat outside in silence.
