Reply In Silence - Hyungwon

“We fought again,” Hyungwon muttered, sitting beside you on the grass. “She wanted to get married but I told her I don’t want to yet.”

You looked sadly at him, pitying him.

“I told her that I’m on the peek of my career; that I don’t want to settle yet.” He massaged his temples and sniffed. You knew he was on the verge of tears. “She got angry and said that I couldn’t get over you.”

You bit your lip, shaking your head.

“What if I still can’t get over you?” He stared at the ground, tears falling from his eyes. “What if she’s right?”

You were tearing up as well. You couldn’t take it; seeing him breaking down yet you can’t say anything.

“____,” He called your name. You’ve always loved the way he lets your name escape his lips. “Please, give me a sign. Anything. I… I need you.”

Before he broke down in front of you, you were already a sobbing mess.

It’s Still Me - Minhyuk

“D-Don’t look at me like that,” Your voice quivered. “Don’t look at me like I’m some kind of a monster. It’s still me. It’s still ____.” You tried to explain, but wiping off the blood trickling from the corner of your mouth was not convincing.

Minhyuk just stared at you, but you can see fear in his eyes. He took a step back, noticing that his legs were trembling.

“I- I wanted to show you, Minhyuk-ah. I wanted to let you know, but I was scared. I- I didn’t expect that you’ll find out about it like this?” You explained, trying to search for the Minhyuk you know in his eyes, but every time it met yours, he glances away.

“Y- You killed my best friend.”

Empty Spaces - Shownu

You sighed for the sixth time that hour. You grew dreadful every minute that passed, tapping your fingers impatiently on the table as you glance on your phone every ten seconds.

“Excuse me, miss,” The waiter approached you. “Would you like another refill of your wine?”

You nodded. Your voice seemed to be stuck in your throat as you saw the pitiful look on the waiter’s face.

I know. He might not come. You thought to yourself.

Two hours has passed since our agreed meeting time. You pulled out your phone for the nth time and decided to send him a message.

Where are you?
