[11:51 AM]

"have you ever thought of leaving her?"

"...why do you ask?"

"i'm asking you a question"

"...sometimes-"

you heard two men chatting behind the slightly opened door of the rooftop, surely it was your boyfriend jisung and his bestfriend.

your hands grip the handles, hesitating whether you'll go there or nah, well you don't wanna interrupt their chattering.

you didn't hear the next words coming from his mouth as you left downstairs with the lunch tight on your arms, you didn't know why you left though your mind tells you to listen more of it.

he thought of leaving me sometimes? am i too much for him...or am i not enough...?

you have now overthink

on your way down, you bumped with ara—jisung's ex-crush which is also your... bestfriend? maybe.

"oh? y/n, be careful you have lunch with you, is that for jisung?" she smirked teasingly as she lifted her brow teasing you more, but honestly, it doesn't give you butterflies on your stomach.

without a word, you smiled and just nodded respectfully knowing she's the president of your class lol, "well i have to go somewhere sorry" she was about to say something but you ran from her not wanting to speak more.

oh god how you despised listening to her speaking his name in front of you, you despised how she acts in front of your boyfriend when she borrows his bike, how you despise her in every way whenever she interacts with jisung.

you were never jealous, but when it comes to both of them, jealousy flares anywhere. you just wanna cry and curl up like a baby thinking that they both have feelings for each other but you trust jisung, you love him.

unknown to you, you were crying already from the thought of them having conversations behind your back, but you know she won't betray you because she already has her man, so why cry over jisung cheating with ara? that's just stupid.

or maybe it was just the stereotype that jisung would cheat with her since he liked her before and that he also has a photo with her that we willingly took and posted it on social media with 70 reactions with the caption "true love is with the president" and just- but he hasn't done that with you.

in addition to that, his mother has seen it and more people did, too, especially his and her relatives and close friends and that hurt you more now.

you don't like overreacting when it comes to this but you fished your phone from your skirt pocket and went to your social deleting the highlight you had with both of you and jisung.

"that's radioactive jealousy you have there my friend" a familiar voice interrupted your thoughts and hid the screen of your phone hastily, it was too late as you looked up and saw jisung's bestfriend raising his eyebrows with a small smile towards you.

you stood up and rolled your eyes on him, "shut up, where's jisung?" you plainly asked. he crossed his arms in front of you with a stoic gaze, "you were just sobbing about him and then you're finding him now? the fuck is that mood"

"just answer me"

"nuh-uh let's go somewhere else for you to clear your mind, crying about him and finding him after your rage won't help for the sake of your peace-"

you interrupted him with your index finger touching his lips shutting him up as you inhaled gritting your teeth, "fine let's go" you went past through him and he followed like a dog behind you.

a voice oh-so-familiar caught your ears and halted both you and jisung's friend's steps, him almost bumping into you letting out a small 'ow'

"y/n!" it's jisung, obviously, but he isn't the one that caught your attention- "see i told you we shouldn't walk this path y/n you're so hard-headed-" jisung's bestfriend whispered annoyingly beside you.

you wanna furrow your eyebrows but you don't want to give a negative impression towards your boyfriend especially since it's the only free time you can be with him.

"hi sungie" you hugged each other as you trained your eyes to ara, of course she went with her 'cutie patootie' persuasion just to borrow your boyfriend's bike again.

might as well smell the seat of your bike after she sits on it. your evil side spoke but you shook your head not wanting to be mad and jealous again, you have the worst personality when you get jealous, you know that so you limit your craziness to prevent...homicide.

"have you eaten yet?" jisung asked, "no" you briefly but straightforwardly answered. "attitude, miss" he deadpanned, "what's with you again?" questioned him.

"nothing lol" you giggled and pinched his cheeks and was about to go away from his arms and tell some invalid reasons yet he gripped your arms tightly but softly forcing you to stay with him, that man's dead serious and he ain't ballin'.

jisung pulled you somewhere hidden (a/n: it's not what you think it is-) and cornered you on the wall, he looked at you dead in the eye, "go on what's with the attitude? i know you y/n don't trip me" he lowly said.

but you're a bit prideful, "you know me? then you gotta know when to avoid people i despise too, i'm not being possessive, i honestly don't care sung but when it comes to her it's a different story.

it's a fucking different feeling because i feel like you still have those sparks on your eyes whenever you look at her whenever she speaks to you like- whenever...i don't know i can't trust you with her, i am jealous, of course i admit that i hate everything you did to her that you didn't do to me...i-

i hate to think that you liked her more before than you do to me as your...girlfriend", your knees went weak and eventually gave up from being overwhelmed, you hate crying in front of him over a small thing.

he went down you slowly, his glittery eyes looking at you sadly, but the words that came out from his mouth surprised you.

"you're overreacting again" he pulled you close to him and brought you back to the classroom.

"you left me- abandoned rather, and yet, you still want me back?! how shameless can you be?" you whisperingly yelled at him, lump had started to grow on your throat, begging yourself not to cry.

"you're the only girl i love, and will love. my heart is yours, you had tied it with you." desperately, he spoke as if he's knees were almost to collapse.

you shook your head, disbelieving, your tears welled up from the overwhelming happening there—in the center, face to face below the cold winter snow on the ground of the rooftop.

haechan held both your shoulders, "let me prove my love to you, whether you insist me to stop or to go!" he aggressively desperately shouted, "y/n...i would die for you", he cried.

you pulled him on your knees with you, you tilted his chin and slowly slid your palm where his heart was beating loudly.

"i apologize, haechan. but my heart could no longer bear to give another chance to the ones who left me—just like my father".

[12:00 AM]

the ballroom was colorful, dazzling—your ballgown colored in your most favorite one. mirrorball was twirling ever so gently up the ceiling as students of the prom were either dancing or drinking away from the night.

your eyes weren't trained to those, no. as usual, it's always towards that very person—mark lee. your school's student council president, as always.

blush crept to your cheeks as you see him walk straight towards you, you don't know if you're just assuming and wonder if there's someone else on your back view who's more approachable.

however, your thoughts halt when you heard your name being mentioned by his beautiful voice. "how you doing, y/n? you seem to be having a peaceful moment yet everyone here are having fun" he leaned on the countertop with his striking smile.

you smiled bashly from the sudden interaction, "i get totally anxious about social events- but i did dance earlier with danielle-" you nodded your head remembering it.

mark scoffed lightly, baffled when his right palm politely suggested forward, his leaning figure now straight as if he was a prince who came magically out from a fairytale.

"may i have your hand for tonight, m'lady?" mark asked with a posh voice. your surrounding seemed to blur, serene music filled the void, as if sparkles glittered around.

"y- you may, mark" you gratefully answered and took his hand, he twirled you around like a princess. gently holding you, scared, too fragile for him.

it was the greatest moment of your life—to finally experience dancing with the man you've admired silently afar. heart swarming and butterflies flew scatteringly from your stomach, it was romantic in a way you never thought of since a decade ago.

"i knew from the moment you looked at me as if i'm the most beautiful person in your eyes, you love me. i respect you, y/n. you didn't know how much i've been trying to get to you. how much i felt the same for years. i think i'm such a jerk for not telling you earlier. but right now, i know...that we could have it all"

by that, you grabbed him and smashed your own soft lips against his plush ones.

[6:42 AM]

jeno heard the bathroom door finally opened after minutes of waiting for you showering. you had worn your clothes already, lowkey hoping you haven't yet.

he smiled at you as you went near your shared bed, moving a bit for your space. you reciprocated his smile and dipped your body beside him.

you lied on his muscular arm, hand pressing his chest at the process, draping your arms immediately on his lower body. jeno was wearing nothing but pajama pants

"smell nice baby" he softly said, caressing your arms up and down. you looked up at him, "of course, freshness early in the morning is a must for a lady like me" you replied.

after a while of randomly touching his naked half, you came questioning your own existence. "jeno?" he hummed in reply, "why is your armpit so flawless and soft?" you questioned. cute. he thought.

he looked at you weirdly, "it's the life of an idol, y/n" briefly replied him. you frowned and smothered your face on his fragrant armpit making him giggle.

"what are you doing?" he laughed, "do you like my armpit that much?" you pouted at him, "companies should be aware that armpit hairs are advantages" you explained.

he knew that of course, but to further hear your soothing voice, he made you speak more. "it protects your skin and it makes you seem more manly, you know?" you smiled at him.

jeno wrapped his arms around you, completely covering you from the cold weather. his eyes cutely looking back at yours, "am i not manly enough?" he was mockingly pouting.

lowering your body more, you tackled jeno hardly and smothered your face to his armpit once again, inhaling the soft morning body scent of his.

"y/n stop that i haven't shower yet" he tapped your head, "no! i love you" you responded, voice muffled from his skin.

and he knew that moment, he won't be able to stop his arms from wrapping you into the most suffocating love you could ever receive from a man.

[3:07 AM]

w: dramatic (i.e crying, sobbing, insecurity(?))

"who's that woman?" you cut him off mid-sentence, him freezing at the question, "chenle i'm asking you a question" your eyes didn't leave the ground. unnoticeably, chenle took a deep breath before answering, "she's no one, y/n, she-" his words were cut off once again when you snapped your head up to look directly into his eyes, his shaking eyes.

"no one? no one?! chenle- you bloody kissed that woman which i saw with my own aching eyes! you..." shook your head disbelieving the scene you saw earlier, your tears ricocheted, more massive this time, "why? what got into your mind that you did that chenle?!" you yelled.

"i was drunk" chenle excused, "drunk?! i know you when you're hell drunk chenle zhong. drunk?! you are obviously sober, sober as- as a son of a gun!" you wanted to curse so bad as you hit him hard on his chest where his beating heart was, the heart where you don't even know if you're still there.

you sobbed hardly, feeling your soul crumble upon love, your tears never stopped streaming down your reddened cheeks. "what did i do wrong? what do i lack of?" almost like a whisper, you looked at him in the eyes, "tell me chenle. did i do something wrong that's why you did that? am i that ugly that you found another girl? do i lack of the things you wanted? what, because i, too, don't know the reason!"

chenle sighed, "you are too sensitive for my liking, i just realized" he briefly explained, yet little that you know, his heart was breaking apart. you looked down with a bitter smile, "then i'm sorry. i'm sorry for being born weak, i'm sorry for the type of girl i grow into, i- i'm sorry..." he hates seeing you cry, he does, but how can he alleviate the pain especially because of the scene you saw?

rain started pouring from the night sky, the man in front of you wanting to comfort and embrace you with care and tenderness, nonetheless, his mind controlled his body. in the middle of the pouring rain, you spoke your heart out.

"y/n it's fucking raining-" he urged, his hands grabbing your arm, but you didn't budge which made him stand back in front of you, "i didn't know why i decided to love you back and love you more than you know. all i perceived was i wanted to try and see if love could make me strong, however, love had just made me weaker" you mumbled.

slowly, you looked up at him. "what about you? have you become weak when you actually loved me? or...did you not really love me?" it only told the truth when he grabbed the back of your neck as he kissed you passionately.

[5:49 AM]

"no fuck- y/n! that is not how you cook an omelette god!!!"

"ugh. try harder will you?! don't be such a pathetic"

"dumb woman"

never have you ever in your life would've thought that the so-called loving and kind prince would be such the opposite.

you were so tired of hearing the neverending complains and complaints of your husband, though from the start you know by the look on his eyes, he could never be the mask he's portraying in public.

you might need a hearing aid from the careless shouts of his perfectionism towards you, as a non-royal, you were still learning.

but why won't he just teach you calmly? why should he be like this? why not treat you lightly? are you just a piece of trash? you are literally his wife, and hence, you're still trying to be like them (royal-bloods).

"shut up!" there. stunned, confused, mad, that's what he felt when you snapped directly on his face.

"renjun, i am trying okay?? i- i am bloody trying! i am trying to be bloody perfect like you! i am trying to be a good wife for you-! please..." almost begging, the waterline of your eyes filled with tears.

tears ricocheting down the tiled floor, your fragile village girl heart could never take a painful treatment like that from a royal.

eye to eye, his couldn't take off of yours.

heart to heart, but his complicates to connect.

not longer, you barged out from home. you wish you could call it home if he himself is worth to be.

[10:18 AM]

you exhaled a huge sigh as if you already have the confidence to finally tell your bestfriend jaemin your long-time crush on him. it's been over a decade, yet you chose to hide it to maintain your friendship.

assuming

overthinking

used to that habits—that mental cycle everyday, not even once did you stopped romanticizing over his existence.

but oh god when you were about to call his name, you have seen the most unimaginable thing of your whole sanity.

"i have liked- no, love you for so long and from afar...you- you never know what it feels like-" you heard him stumbling upon his deep confession, you heard the lady in his arms serenade their moment.

you wished to be early, you wished to go back to 2018 where you literally had your will to tell him what you feel but never got to because you forgot it due to the fact that he mentioned a whole essay about his own love interest.

but then again, you smiled bitterly as what you usually do whenever you and jaemin watches those cliché kdramas every weekend, apart from that, you walked away in silence.

you were bestfriends, you were, so it's impossible for jaemin to just exile your camaraderie for the girl his heart desired...right?

[11:21 PM]

it has been 5 years, you're 21 now. the nostalgic past of your first touch, first dance, first love. you remembered every little coincidence from the color of the clothes, the lights, the night, the music that got your soul eating you alive.

thus, your eyes were trained to him somehow. brief glances, that's what you two were experiencing right that moment. in chenle's eyes, you only see desperation—desperate to speak to you but he holds himself back—scared.

he was wearing the maroon suit he wore on your prom when you were seniors, back when he hurt you the most. back when he did the unspeakable. back when you unmasked the lies. back when he became your first heartbreak.

a girl stuck by his waist, his hands were too. intimacy of their faces, sparkling gazes, your heart was shattered, head in haywire, skin felt cold and your insides were jagged. you remembered leaving the prom with your tears staining your dirty-white full-skirt gown without nobody running after you.

you took a sip on the fresh orange juice you served yourself earlier before taking a bite on the matcha macaroon your colleague baked. "you like matcha?" speaking of the devil, he voiced out behind you only staring anywhere but you.

the world seemed to stop. a lump formed on your throat. yet you continued eating. knowing that behavior, chenle walked out, thought he was leaving you but he came back with another stool chair placing it beside you.

"chenle..." his name seems foreign to your tongue now, he hummed, not avoiding eye contact- more like burning love holes to your side. he cracked out, "funny you still remember me-" but you didn't mean cutting him off, you weren't one to do that.

you took a soft exhale, "it's delicious and just right for me that's why, i'd eat all of it if it was mine or me rather who baked it" you implied(?). somehow, in your words, he remembered 5 years ago between you and him.

he could have been the right guy if he was actually yours. yet he wasn't, he cheated on his girlfriend with you knowing you liked him before. but to be honest, it was the best summer of your life.

[9:16 PM]

fearful, you couldn't sleep from the random rummaging that came from the outside of your house. your parents weren't around due to business trip whatever.

you know yourself a scaredy-cat so why would you check it out? you fear the dark that's why your little pastel lamp is always turned on at night. you hate being alone in a domicile despite your age.

your thick blanket was wrapped around your body as if it's a shield and only the shape of your face could be seen.

suddenly, you heard someone's voice. aggressive and sounds irritated. however, that tone somehow is familiar to you, but you're too scared to think of anyone from that moment and continued pretending to sleep (yet shaking slightly).

"ms. y/l/n-" his word was cut off when you screamed loud and throwing him a heavy pillow which landed directly on his stomach, "ouch that hurts" the guy sarcastically reacted and stepped forward towards you with normal pace.

when you heard the voice, you immediately opened your tightly shut eyes, gasped softly, and jumped from your bed like a grasshopper.

with a big smile, you jumped on his arms twirling in the process. "hyuck! you're here" you almost cried overwhelmed at his sudden appearance from disappearing for fucking 3 days saying that 'they have a family reunion happening in jeju, his hometown'.

but no, donghyuck was actually on a road(?) trip with his gang "dream", leaving their girlfriends alone with the white lies just to bond again.

"you were gone for days hyuckie and my parents left since yesterday for business trip, i was alone" you mumbled on his clothed chest where his heart you tamed was beating.

he cooed at you and pulled you into your bed, you on top of him with hands intertwined as of not wanting each other to let go. his leather jacket not being able to warm up his flaming love for you.

"why didn't you call up your cousin hanni? she could've accompanied your lonely life" donghyuck chuckled lightly at the offense he said and you raised your head to deadpan on him, pinching his side as you did so making him exclaim a cute 'ah!'.

"she have to study for her entrance exam for college while i still have to study the last quarter exam for eleventh grade argh..." you grumbled a bit as you shook your head.

donghyuck caressed your back continuously, calming you, giving you the warmth and protection you deserve. second by second, you felt sleepy from his action. you nuzzled your head to his neck inhaling his peony, rose, and lychee scent.

and so, you fell asleep with donghyuck's arms wrapped around you and your blanket covering both your lower bodies.

"baby, you're so loved"

slow and neutral as jeno checks out various junk foods at the last shelf, looking left and right scared someone would snitch on him stealing again. stupid for a convenience store to install only two cctv cameras inside which were on the counter and the entrance.

there were barely customers inside as it is nearly midnight. he remembered what his late father said: "the night's young, have some fun". so swiftly, jeno snatched 3 lays chip and ran for his life, almost stumbling out the glass door as he did.

the guard and two of the counterboys hot on his tail, fortunately for him, he saw an alleyway and immediately went there, a smirk on his face. used to the stunts, used to the reactions, used to nights like that.

he's lee jeno. incheon's superior college thief (but tbh nobody knew who he was and only his 6 other friends who were also status-unfortunate).

"where the fuck is he?! ugh" he heard them angrily looking for him, "i can't believe we were robbed by this thief". they knew that even if they report it to the police, he still wouldn't be found despite jeno dressing up mysteriously everytime he does his heist. and without finding further, they ran back to the convenience store with mind full of anxiousness to what would they explain their boss.

jeno laughed breathily for his yet another victory. "obsession for lays is bad you know mister" the boy was startled from the sudden voice coming from the wall, there he saw you just sitting peacefully as if you're a cat chilling out at night.

your eyes were directly on him, jeno stood up normally now and walked near the wall where you were sitting. "well your shitty theories are shit" he spat with his slitted brows furrowed slightly, you frowned slightly on his rude reply cuz why the hell would you have nosed again with someone's business??

he didn't wait for your reaction and turned his broad back to you, hesitantly, he halted his steps and threw one of the lays chip he robbed earlier straight to your pretty little face. "you should be obsessed with it too, honey, let's be obsessed together" he spoke lowly with his smug smirk and eventually left you alone again after.

you looked at the lays chip bag on your hold, smiling briefly from the interaction. your little crush for him is undying.

[8:30 PM]

"mademoiselle" jaemin waggishly welcomed you to his apartment and you went in after pecking him on the cheek with a smile, "monsieur" you, too, replied with a dramatic posh voice.

you looked around, his apartment doesn't seem like a common apartment actually. it seems so luxurious like those of your father's despite you growing up from the richest family in south korea. jaemin didn't tell you about this, it was your first time going to his home.

"sit down love" he offered, his voice soft and loving. "where are you going jaem?" you asked, your smile still didn't let go from your excitement of finally having to sit in a very much too soft sofa in his living room. "i'll prepare something for us to eat" he replied and tousled your hair making you whine.

but that was it. behind the beautifully made espresso, there lied the bittersweet.

your eyes saw rainbows, but in black and white, your heart pumps, but the feeling are one-winged butterflies. your body was throbbing of excruciating pain from the torture by you once thought your beautiful love.

jaemin held you by the collar of your wrinkled, dirt-covered blouse and seethed through his teeth clenching it from his anger towards you and your family. "you think i liked you? well guess what doll, it's a-" he halted, not knowing why but continued it nonetheless "hm. it's a prank" a bile started to grow on his throat, he hates it.

he twirled the dagger on his hand still holding your weakened body up with one hand whilst glaring his second dagger filled with fire at you with a somewhat...doubtful mind. but then again, he's the na jaemin, known to be a merciless assassin.

"i think it's time for you to say goodbye, love" he mocked the endearment with his sinister smirk and was about to stab the glistening sharpened dagger on you, however, you let out a small hum stopping him mid-air.

you smiled weakly at him, the smile he admitted once that he misses everytime you aren't around. warm tears fall out from your almost closing eyes, he used to hate seeing you cry,you used to be a weakness of him, but guess what, not anymore, he thought.

"i'm very happy" you whispered and raised your weak hands to take ahold of his naturally bruised cheeks, he forced himself not to feel your hands, hands that are way colder than the likes of dead people he threw away.

nevertheless, jaemin didn't hesitate to stab directly into your heart where he belonged. your hands slowly slipped from his cheeks, leaving a trail of your personal warmth as your breath slowly pulled away from your lungs.

suddenly, his phone rang indicating someone is calling, he didn't read the caller's name and placed it on his ears, his other hand still holding you with his strength.

"jaemin, i got an evidence about your parent's killer-" it was jeno with his plain voice. jaemin coldly answered, "she's already finished", he was about to drop it off when jeno reacted, unusual.

"j- no..." on the other line, jeno's heart seemed to stop, his eyes wide open and his jaw fell slack from disbelief, "what jeno?" impatiently jaemin furrowed his brows.

the papers on jeno's hold was crumpled as it fell off the floor, "y/n...it proved here that she is innocent, sh-she actually doesn't know about her parent's dark business, jaem-"

beep

he didn't want to believe it, yet it was the truth that masked you, and what happened was the lie that completed you both. he fell on his knees, a lone tear escaped his eyes that were filled of void, eyes that filled regrets, anger, sadness, loneliness, and especially...the wretched peace of your visage.

jaemin held your face close to his with both of his sinful bloody hands, looking closely at your closed eyes, your pretty nose, your soft lips that turned purple as the blood of yours had stopped its flow. he didn't know that he could still shed a tear because all he remembered was that he couldn't since the beginning.

kissing you full of passion, a language for him to say how sorry he is, jaemin whispered on your unhearing ears, "i...i love you too, i love you more, i love you much more, i love you the most, i love you everyday, everywhere, everytime, i...-" he sobbed hard, punching the wall in the proccess.

he realized, he loves you more than you could ever imagine. and so are regretting.

"i wish everything was different"

[3:48 PM] "markie..." you cooed teasingly at your boyfriend who's seemingly stressed on writing one of his upcoming song, however, he might've needed an inspiration to do so and you totally know how.

it's been an hour or two since he placed his things on your kitchen table, wiping all the things away from it as he took a peaceful time and you ruined it- not really though. he likes- no, honestly LOVES your existence.

mark sighed and glanced up on your soft features, smiling down on him while leaning on the table with your palm placed on your chin, your elbows standing as support. he raised his brows, "what baby?" he asked, it was breathy, he was tired of sitting and thinking for hours.

you went beside him and gave him a side hug, nuzzling your face on his neck smelling his fragrance that became your favorite scent from the past 3 years you officially became a couple.

mark smiled at this and placed a long kiss on your cheek and closed his eyes at the feeling of your warmth. "stand up" you whispered after pressing a kiss on his jawline, "but-" he almost reasoned but you cut him off somehow, "just stand up and hold me" you demanded softly.

so he did.

if you dance, i'll dance and if you don't, i'll dance anyway give peace a chance let the fear you have fall away

the first stanzas of lana del rey's "yes to heaven" played from your old favorite vintage cassette, both your right hands shared warmth, his left one placed firmly but enough to be fragile against your waist and yours placed lightly on his shoulder.

i've got my eye on you i've got my mind on you say yes to heaven, say yes to me say yes to heaven, say yes to me

you held each other closely, his forehead placed on yours as you stared on each other's sparkling orbs—filled with love and sparks you danced the afternoon storm away.

you come back i'll be right here like a barge at sea in the storm i stay clear 'cause i've got my eye on you i've got my mind on you

he turned you around like a princess with a smile, you giggled as you almost tripped on your own foot, but he held you to avoid it.

say yes to heaven, say yes to me say yes to heaven, say yes to me

as the second chorus stopped a bit, it was as if fireworks exploded behind the background. staring on each other's eyes lovingly, both knew what you wanted. you kissed. him being the one who began the thing.

soft lips against soft lips, it molded. filled with passion and love. nothing, literally just a kiss, but it meant a lot.

if you dance, i'll dance i'll put my red dress on again and if you fight i'll fight it doesn't matter, now it's all gone i've got my mind on you i've got my mind on you

you both pulled away and you placed a quick peck on his nose, "i love you mark lee" you mouthed, "i love you too baby, thank you" he whispered and pulled your body into an embrace.

say yes to heaven, say yes to me say yes to heaven, say yes to me i've got my eye on you i've got my eye on you i've got my eye on you i've got my eye on you.

"i know what i want now, you'll be the inspiration of this song" he giggled and started writing from a scratch and your mouth came agape, "hey! that'll sound cringe, i know you, ew!"

[12:05 PM]

"y/n!!!" you woke up from you tiny nap credits to your bestfriend chaerin who screamed directly on your ears catching the attentions of your other classmates which your bestfriend bowed apologisingly onto.

you groaned as you tried slapping lightly chaerin's lap but stopped when you heard a squeal from the girl, "huang renjun is here wake up dummy" and that's where you immediately sat up straight as your eyes went directly to the said boy who's looking into your own sparkling ones.

you smiled sheepishly at him with a little wave, "hi- uhh...renjun good morning" renjun showed his heart-melting smile at you which you reciprocated afterwards.

"hello, y/n. had a nice nap?" he questioned with a bit of tease as he brought out the book you're supposed to use on the first lesson.

you blushed in embarrassment whilst renjun giggled, "cute" he mumbled not knowing you heard it as a familiar red crept into your cheeks again.

chaerin leaned besides you nudging your arm at the process as she whispered, "get that man" which she earned a soft slap on her arm by you.

"actually..." you sheepishly whispered, chaerin looked at you in anticipation for the next words, "we're on a process" you finished with a slight crunch of your nose knowing that chaerin would do something loud that she's supposed to do now.

but you immediately covered your bestfriend's loud mouth regretting it as the latter licked your palm. disgusting. you rolled her eyes as you wiped off the nasty liquid substance on your palm which you also intended to spray some alcohol.

"park jisung!" you called his dear name a distance away from his frail figure. he heard you and halted his weak steps, but he didn't turn around, waiting for you to say something.

a lump started to form on your throat once again as hot tears feels like rising, ready to stream down your reddened cheeks. "i love you!" you shouted, a beg on your tone somehow.

a lone tear escaped his dark eyes, his mind telling him to just run away from you and go back to where he belongs, but his heart says otherwise. he closed his fist tight, knuckles whitening. he shut his eyes tightly as his large black wings spread.

before, you were terrified of how gorgeously scary his wings were, hence right now, you were more scared of losing him.

your tears did not stop from falling, the rain didn't stop either. your heart didn't stop from breaking, his wouldn't either.

then he slowly turned around, head down, body fully facing you. you stepped a centimeter or two forward, sensing this, jisung snapped his head up directly to yours. iris in a color of blood red, his slick black hair disheveled.

he still looks gorgeous despite the situation.

"remember what they said, forbidden love is weak like rodents, unreliable like a snake, and only lasts like a dragonfly" he lowly muttered bitterly enough for you to hear it with his deep voice and eyes covered with void.

he disappeared into thin air, leaving you in the middle of the rain with fading black mists and a tiny little feather from his wings.
