breach of contract
@247shiwoo
2010 - a dark evening in September
It’s been a month since she’s last been home. All that time with no actual place to sleep or call home. She’s mostly spent her nights outside or in saunas, using the latter’s accommodations to keep herself clean as well. It’s been a rough month and Shinhye has been wondering what the hell she’s supposed to do with herself, but she has finally found a way out of the mess. Well, into a bigger mess admittedly, but that is beside the point. The point is that she will have a house again, a roof above her head, a place to sleep and a certain income.
The point is also that after four weeks of trying her very best to not tell anyone about her predicament, she just can’t do it anymore. She can’t keep lying to her best friend, the guy who has been by her side since the first day of high school, the one who knows pretty much everything about her. To not tell him something important like this, she can hardly imagine how she would be able to live with that for any longer than she already has. It’s killing her every time she sees him, knowing that she is keeping something from him. And so today is the day that she’s going to change that.
Screw the contract she signed stating she wouldn’t reveal any of it to the world. Shiwoo is not the world. Well, he is to her, but he isn’t actually the world. He’s just one person of whom she’s entirely sure he will keep her secret. So she heads over to the familiar restaurant for her weekly visit. It’s the only day she spends so much money, just to get a decent meal and to be able to see him again. She misses the times when they would see each other daily, hopes that maybe telling him this might help them become closer again than they have been over the past couple of weeks.
Still, anxiety creeps in the moment she enters the Gosang restaurant, her eyes quickly taking in all the customers before she heads over to where she knows Shiwoo is. Luckily they already know her well enough in this place to let her pass, so she makes it to where she’s supposed to be with very little effort. Still, the biggest effort of all is yet to come. But first is the usual greeting.
“Woo-bear!” Every time she sees him she makes up some new nickname, or reuses one that she hasn’t used in a long time, her way of showing how much she cares for him. Opening her arms the moment she says that, Shinhye quickly heads over to the tall male, wrapping her arms around his neck and placing a happy kiss on his cheek. “How are you? How’s the business? Is it alright if I steal you for a bit?”
