On Good Terms || && -- Minhyuk and Miri
It was awkward at times seeing her ex --- The Gryffindor was of course one of the most important people in her life still and she had no way of explaining that to anyone; Not even to herself.
It seemed like bliss whenever they were together, but constant bickering lead to a bad ending --- Separating the two from loves entanglement and sending them on different paths before they could have made any mistakes that would have altered the future.
That was a year ago, today ~
It was better this way, she told herself. They were still friends, and she had promised she would always be there for him, but it was hard. Still, she was a sweetheart and no matter what she would never break a promise she had made to anyone regardless of pasts she held with them. Silently she sat across from him in the library, book in hand as she stole glances. She didn’t know if he realized that he was actually in front of her whenever he stumbled in moments prior with a few other Gryffindor boys --- He probably didn’t realize, but oh well.
Miri sat there, eyes fixated on the book as much as she could --- Her attention however kept slipping away, and eyes began to wander once more until they fixated on his face. Unintentionally her lips curved upwards into a rather bright smile, her pearly whites shining before that smile faded away into her features. And a light stinging pain coursed throughout her chest. Her gaze lowered and she shielded her face with the book, sinking into her seat for a moment until she could regain her composure.
She wouldn’t let anyone get to her, even him, so she played it off as if it was nothing. But really trying to convince herself that it was nothing. She had to keep that promise, they had to remain on good terms. Closing the book only to set it down on the table, she cleared her throat. Body slowly leaning forward as she gently poked at his cheek, another one of her infamous smiles forming across her lips. “Want to go grab a bite with me?” --- She tilted her head, curious as to what he would say.
