Further Than the Moon

At first, Seulgi thought it was just a dream, a nightmare. She closed her eyes and stood there for more than five minutes before getting up again. But no, Joohyun really left her there.

Not a single note, or message, she just left with her plushy, the earphones and Seulgi's heart.

She went across the hall and knocked the door, calling for Joohyun and Sooyoung at the same time. It was the tallest one who opened it. "Did you see Joohyun? Tell me she's here."

She looked over her shoulder, only to find a sleepy Seungwan in Sooyoung's bed, it seemed like they slept together. "She... She went to Daegu."

"Daegu? To do what? She told me she wasn't planning on visiting her family."

"She had things to resolve with them. Didn't message you?"

"She didn't let me know shit."

"Hey, Seulgi... calm down." Seungwan got up and reached for her, noticing her nose getting red.

"Joohyun just left me, after last night. After what I did to her. She could've told me something, right?"

"Right, unnie. Come here." The girls pulled her by her hands, each one holding from a side. Guiding her to the bed that wasn't being used, once Seulgi sat at Joohyun's bed, she started to cry.

"I thought... I thought she liked me." She said, punching the bed.

"She does, Seulgi. Believe me." Seungwan sat by her side and made her lay down on her lap.

"Then why did she leave me like that?"

"Look, unnie." Sooyoung started, kneeling in front of her. "You know her, you know how closed she is from everything. I'm not sure if she told you about that, but I guess she did, that her family is not the most respectful and supportive." Seulgi nodded, feeling her friend drying her tears.

"She told me."

"Her parents were even mean to me, her best friend. And wanted to pull us apart, to be against each other. She fought against them a few times, because she didn't like the way they talked about me or any other person." She held her hand. "Joohyun likes you so much, that I bet she wanted to end it once for all. Tell them everything, and ask for full respect."

Then Seulgi felt her stomach getting crumbled, she got worried. "You think Joohyun went to Daegu to tell them about her feelings for me?"

"Mhm, because she likes you. A lot. And she was tired of her father saying such things about us."

"And we can only hope for the best, and wait now." Seungwan said, caressing her face. She was getting calmer. Sooyoung got her a bottle of water.

"Should I send her a message?"

"You could try, but I don't think she's going to answer." Seulgi sent it anyways, drinking her water and wiping what's left from her tears.

"Do you think she'll take long to come back? Should I wait for her?"

"I think you shouldn't be so worried about it. Pack your things to visit your parents tomorrow, and rest for the rest of the day." Sooyoung said, tapping her butt.

After a while, still laying on her friend's lap and almost falling asleep, she realized the whole situation in that room. "How was your night?" She whispered at Seungwan, Sooyoung went out to get something to eat.

"It was amazing." She smiled. "Sooyoung's amazing."

"Tell me more..."

"We had fun. She has been closer to me these past few weeks, you know. Actually, talking to me as if she had a crush, rather than 'joking'."
