His tone seemed sharp, too cold and foreign and Seulgi didn't expect to hear such words from the male who had meant so much to her, such a hint of seriousness and hostility to carve on his features. Without a single word, she pursed lips,turning her head away, only to walk away, the slow, light steps quickly getting hurried, fast as she run away. Where to? It didn't matter as long as Seulgi didn't have to stare at him and-- to show how much she truly missed him.
❝I’m sorry, Aurae,❞ it was a whisper that fell from his lips. He was trying to live without her; whether it was the right or wrong thing to do, he knew that he was keeping her safe by staying away. His heart clenched within seconds as the silenced swallowed them whole. He recalled Irene telling him that Aurae wanted nothing to do with him. But he was too stubborn to believe that she could miss him. After all, she was a storm that raged across his soul whenever he saw her in the back of his skull. The slayer furled and unfurled his fingers, feet rooted to the ground where he stood. He hadn’t intended to be so cruel, so indifferent, but he was sick of blaming himself for being the source of the hatred. He had to protect her from afar, from the creatures that lurked in the depths of Seoul’s streets. He didn’t take the chance to confront her, hoping one day their paths could cross once more when they were ready.
