"Didn't know silence could feel like honey / didn't know love could walk in soft."

Somewhere in L.A. - 6:48 AM
Y/n sits on the floor of her loft. Vinyls stacked around the house. the city lights shine through the window. phone vibrates non-stop next to her, mentions exploding, label calling, friends and family sending messages.
She doesn't open a single one.
Her thumb scrolls through Spotify. She stops at Track 07 - "The Dawn"
No one knows the title is literal.
She presses play. Soft static. Then -
"You weren't a sunrise/ tou were the afterglow/ the part they don't write songs about/ the healing/ the hush/ the home."
Her lips curved, just a little.
Her phone lights up again.
DAWN: "Happy release"
Then another bubble: "proud of you baby"
She doesn't reply. not yet.

•————•————•————•
Y/n tosses her phone on the couch. Let's it buzz itself dry. She walks to the kitchen in an oversized hoodie, his hoodie, faint cologne still presents on the fabric.
The world is losing its mind. She breathes like it's quiet.
At 8:13 AM, she unlocks her phone. Opens Instagram. A soft inhale. A small smile.
Started this sketch of Hyuna and Hyojong months ago but didn't like how it was turning out so I left it for a while and found it again a couple days ago and decided to give it a second chance. It's not the best but I like it, I think I saved it a bit haha.

They're so freaking adorable together 💖
