Jiwoo stares at the phone in his hand.He wasn’t expecting this.
When he’d first heard the telltale beep of an incoming message, Jiwoo had indeed expected it to be Haebitna. Who else would contact him at this hour? And who else would contact him on his personal phone at all? Or rather... Who else would contact him?So he’d picked the thing up and smiled to himself and looked forward to talking to her.
But he hadn’t expected her to touch on a topic as fragile, sensitive, and borderline unapproachable as the one she stumbled into. It makes his hands shake lightly, even though the motion angers him and he has to hold the phone with both hands to stop it. It makes him swallow roughly, it makes him want to physically remove himself from the situation at hand.
But he resists the urge. Because it doesn’t sound like Haebitna wrote those texts with the intent of breaching the topic to try and drag Jiwoo out of his shadows. No. It just sounds like a girl missing her dad. Something he can and cannot relate to. Because he’s always missed a father figure. But he’ll never miss his father.
He takes a deep breath and starts replying.Somewhere in the back of his mind, he has to laugh at the fact that it’s been ten years since the last time he’s had to use both his hands to type something on his phone.
|To: 🌞Bitna|- it |
He stops. What... what is he going to write back? Should he be honest? Should he be in pain? Should he be honest about being in pain? Should he spare her? Should he shield her from his pain?His eyes sting all of a sudden and he wrinkles his nose in disgust at himself. He swallows the lump in his throat.

No, that last one... is bad.
