my confessions—*
@taeminrk
the guilt has been eating at her since the debut concept for eclipse was announced and she was in it; after the initial surprise (and shock) wore off, sooyoung’s thoughts nearly immediately went to her brother. sure, taemin made his decision about whether or not to leave for sphere’s project, but knowing that the boys who made it there would definitely debut, and now knowing that instead of boy group, kt is working on a girl group, sooyoung hesitates to think that it might be causing more resent than he’s prepared to admit (or even show).
this is what she gets for waiting to actually talk to him; for hesitating to confide in one person she knows would keep secrets for her. because now it seems almost as if it would be rubbing her debuting with half the time under her belt in his face.
so when she does gather the courage to to talk to him, it’s when everyone should be packing up to go home for the night, though she thinks she can safely assume that for taemin, that won’t be anytime soon.
“hey.... can we talk?” she starts casually, though the hesitancy and nervousness can be easily identified in her tone. her training bag drops from her shoulder to the floor as she leans against the wall. “it’s probably overdue but better late than never, right?” a laugh follows, though they both know that dry humor is only something akin to a coping mechanism in not-so-great conversations.
it’s not that sooyoung doesn’t want to talk- she does, but everything in her calls for her to continue putting it off; she doesn’t like the hard conversations, the ones that are all seriousness and no joking or ease. without talking to him, she can’t ease herself of the burden of guilt (that she’s probably created on her own) from the idea of debuting before the person that inspired her to sign on with the company in the first place.
