𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝: a little assortment of prompts revolving around painful, bottled up affection and endless yearning, as well as the possible result of finally taking action.
[ 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥 ] : unable to handle their fondness towards receiver, the sender lashes out and they end up in a heated argument.
Minseo has an apologetic smile, hoping that he didn't mean what he said. That's usually the case, right? Papa said in dire times, you say things you don't mean. After everything's been said and done, she remains calm.
"My son used to ask me for one whenever he's feeling upset. It made him feel better, you know?"
She didn't understand why it had such significance. Minseo had always thought that doing favors to the extreme was a way to a person's trust, and eventually, their ability to like you. In the best cases, one's ability to love her entire existence. But this was only because that is how she gained approval of her family. Always aiming, but never content on her own will.
Meeting Sen may have been a test for her, considering there was nothing on earth that could convince herself that he would be vital for her success and everything in between. Still, he was a friend of a friend. One who must be good enough to be theirs, so it must be the case for her as well. Eventually, she saw as to why he was liked, and she too, grew to like him sincerely and not just another addition to her catalogue of people to seek when the rest aren't available.
It began with short texts to calls, even emails to see if they were free for a chat. Minseo could tell there is a barrier she couldn't cross, and yet, she wanted to push it. The simple 'hello' became invitations to eat somewhere new. Gifts of appreciations grew apparent in her place whenever she wasn't around. The loneliness spoke for itself that she wanted to be someone worth being a friend to. Wanting to earn a place even if she was unsure as to why.
So it was no surprise when Sen grew tired, the initial response was to lash out and then told her sterly to leave him alone. His eyes were fierce that she had never associated with before, it sent a wave of heartache just seeing a familiar stance and hearing similar words from people who disregarded her before.
The pack of banana milk clutched protectively in her arms, finding it hard to swallow the fact that maybe she was just bothersome now. It takes a sharp inhale for her to place it gently on the ground, hoping that he would take at least one.
"I heard it's the best banana milk out there..." she pushes the pack indoors, closer to where he stood. "Don't leave it outside too long, or else it'll spoil."
