33 : Tears on The Ground

• Liu Yangyang •

I stopped in my tracks, then looked at the sky, heaving out a sigh.

"The sky's really pretty at this time of the day, huh?" A voice said from behind me. I turned around to find An leaning against a blue elephant spring rider, holding two energy drink cans, one in each hand. "I prefer the night sky though." 

"Fuck off, Nao." I smirked.

"Awww! Don't be like that!" She chuckled as she tossed one of the cans in the air and caught it before handing it to me. "Here."

I accepted the drink, muttering a "thanks" underneath my breath.

"Skipping clubs again?" An asked as I walked past her, then sat in the sandbox. "You shouldn't, you know?"

"Speak for yourself." I chuckled. "I mean, I just need to clear my head a bit..."

An stared at me, then sighed.

"Do you want to... Talk about it...?" She asked.

"No, it's okay." I chuckled.

"Well... Okay then..." She murmured, standing up from the spring rider. "Don't bottle it up, though."

"I won't." I smiled at her. "Later."

"Yeah, later."

"Where are you, Yangyang...?"

I've searched almost everywhere, but Yangyang was nowhere to be found. I let out a sigh, looking down at the ground.

"This is all my fault..." I whispered, slowly walking forwards. At one point, I looked up and saw An. Immediately, my mood dropped.

"Oh, hey." She smiled at me before handing me the energy drink she was holding. "Here. Have one."

"No thanks." I shrugged it off. An stayed silent, staring at me with an unread expression on her face.

"... You know," She spoke up. "I don't know what the hell is wrong with you."

"You know what happened," I said through gritted teeth.

"Seriously." She scoffed. "I'm just trying to be nice to you, but... You're not buying it, huh?"

"No shit." I scoffed. An stayed silent before sighing.

"Yangyang's in the playground." She mumbled loud enough for me to hear before walking past me.

I stared at her before heading to the playground which wasn't that far. There, I saw Yangyang sitting in the sandbox alone. He was hugging his knees close to his chest as he stared at the sky.

Without thinking, I walked up to him.

"Mind if I sit here...?" I asked. He looked at me, then chuckled.

"Why are you asking...? If it's reserved for anyone, it's for you..." He murmured. My lips streched into a smile before sitting beside him, watching the sky as well.

It felt exactly like when we were still kids.

"... I'm sorry..." I whispered. "I've been so cold to you when you've done nothing wrong... Of course it wasn't a surprise if you went to An..."

Yangyang remained silent for a few seconds before letting out a small sigh.

"To me, you're like the sun, Yeongie... Nao's the moon..." Yangyang mumbled, looking up at the sky. "Both are beautiful in their own ways, but one will always outshine the other no matter what..."

"B-but still—"

"I have a question, though..." He glanced at me. "Did you... Intentionally change...?"
