pretending to be happy
@rkyooa – ❤
she’s easily distracted, caught in a trance – anything to put away those miserable thoughts that have plagued her since the last breath she took. the exasperated exhale that only further drilled the idea of failure into her veins, mixing iron and steel with disastrous motions that only have her closing within herself. it’s been days and it’s safe to say – she’s better, visibly so.
mentally? jihyun has been in a mess for days, but as those same days turn into new ones, she’s begun to learn new ways to hide it. a smile goes a mile these days. especially when submerged in the positivity pool that is the new trainees that have begun to linger around her. it isn’t too hard for her to fake it, not when she can so easily feed off the other’s happiness in turn of making it seem like it, too, was her own.
it’s why, when the first chance comes up – arms are linked and she’s sidling up to yooa when she matches the other’s gaze in the halls. arm in arm, feet nearly synchronized as she’s dragging the other once again to another place outside of the other’s intended destinace. blatant pleas on jihyun’s part all vocally obliged, “seriously, just the person i was looking for. i need help – these steps, i keep tripping over my feet again.”
