the hallway was too quiet for Yn's liking. sure, it would be quiet because no one is always walking in the hallway, but there's something that smells too odd, and for a girl who can read the room, she should be alerted, but it's her friends of course they are not planning anything behind her back. Well, except keeho
at 273 annie’s apartment, she unlocked the door with the passcode, barely even opening the door as she noticed the light was far too dim for a party. shaking her head in disbelief, she wondered if the whole 6 pm party thing had been a joke after all.
"hello?" she peeked her head through the door, but there was no answer, so she had no choice but to step fully inside she set her purse on the floor, bracing herself for keeho's jumpscare, but nothing happened. but, she suddenly froze spotting something far scarier than keeho— jeno sat on annie’s couch, staring at her as if he were waiting for her.
before the girl uturn, the door slammed behind her as she flinched— "ANNIE'S ORDER SO TALK NOW OR FOREVER PEACE" "DUMBASS IT'S HOLD YOUR PEACE" "SAME THING." she knows that voices, it was keeho yelling outside the door and gawon who is correcting the boy's grammar.
silence absolute silence; they betrayed her. the feeling was different, heavier after a whole year without any proper explanation, even though how it hurts the warmth from both of them still lingers, and the love was still clear— it was no joke but they didn’t expect this to be how they would meet again; jeno knew since annie had threatened him an hour ago.
neither yn nor jeno said anything for a while, the silence between them almost suffocating. the girl was still in shock, her eyes darting to the ceiling, the floor, or counting the lights— because in her mind, looking directly meant trouble. meanwhile, the boy was watching her quietly and patiently waiting again.
the girl who once clung to him had become a weirdo who distanced herself from him. it hurt him so bad, how did they go from this type of feeling they swore it wouldn't happen—
he speaks first, breaking the silence carefully and quietly, "the floor would melt off." silence filled in, "you've avoided me too much now yn" straight to it as he thinks of annie's advice being straight into it, tell your thoughts you want to say to her. likewise, for the girl who was silent and caught off guard as he continued to speak,
"i have a lot of questions, and i know you have answers to that" first kill, "where did i go wrong?" double kill, "i give you a lot space, maybe you will tell me in the end" triple kill, "you said we will fix everything together" quadra kill, "you didn't even ask for my opinion at all as if you shuts me down i keep it calm but... i'm hurt" pentra kill.
that hits harder than she expected because she understands it perfectly, and they put that rule when they argue; communication was their priority.
the girl decided to look at the poor boy after all, she doesn't deserve to act like when in reality he was the real victim when looked at him she winced, seeing jeno finally smile a little but it was small, and tired as if he had waited for years for explanations....
she looks down at her hands, avoiding his eye once again because she knows this part when she watches those drama, this part was the hardest part ever, always was; he noticed she was struggling, he couldn't help but reassure her "take it slow and easy yn" her throat tightens so bad because after she had done he still understood her as if to calm her down.
piece by piece, it slips slowly he deserves to know it— jeno watches her carefully, waiting. "i thought breaking up with you was the right thing to do."
