minho gently took her hand

and they went to his car,

driving off to where she is yet to know.

small droplets of rain poured subtly, somehow covering for the unbearable silence between the two.

"i heard you haven't attended from your work." he softly spoke up,

his gaze now soft and calm despite him being focused on the road.

but even with his calm and quiet demeanor, euijin was growing anxious.

truthfully, euijin hated the topic of her work.

it's something she doesn't want to talk about,

and her actions towards it isn't something she wants to let everyone know.

"...yeah." euijin admitted, looking through the windows as she bit her lip.

she prayed that minho wouldn't question him further.

because she is not ready to answer why she avoided work.

it was all the same thing over and over, it only ends with her unreasonable reasons.

she doesn't have the courage to show up,

she doesn't have the will to go,

she doesn't like her job anymore.

those were her reasons.

things she, herself, wouldn't even accept as an excuse and understand the existence of it.

"but why? designing had always been your dream." minho stopped the car.

his eyes looked at hers,

reflecting the same worried and sincere eyes she first knew and love.

but because of it,

she felt even more guilty.

should she answer truthfully?

or should she utter lies that would clear his worries?

"....i don't know."

she chose to lie.
