───── ❝ a heartbreaking story ❞ ─────
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Time skipped and it's been three days since Yina and Hyunjae talked to each other, despite their friends' efforts.

They tried leaving the two alone in the practice room, didn't work.

They tried giving them space to talk while doing their rehearsal for the charity event, didn't work.

And today is the last evening before the yearly charity day. As she agreed to be their stylist, she really wants to do a great job.

While checking their clothes sets, the boys just came down from their last rehearsal.

"Good work," Yina says, walking towards Changmin and Sangyeon to give them water.

"Thank you."

Of course, someone has been eyeing her like a hawk from the other corner of the room. Hyunjae drinks his water, eyes never leaving his girlfriend's figure.

"Don't you think it's time for both of you to make up ? Come on." Jacob nudges his side, whispering his words softly enough for Hyunjae, Eric, Hyunjun, and Juyeon to listen.

The younger ones nod their heads, agreeing with Jacob's suggestion.

"I really wish it's as easy as you said, but apparently she has much ego than Hwayoung. She doesn't even spare me a glance."

"I mean, you deserved it, hyung. You were the one who yelled at her first the other day." Haknyeon joins the conversation, looking at Yina who is smiling while talking to Sangyeon, Changmin, and Kevin.

At the first glance, you'll notice how sad Hyunjae's eyes are. He really wants to make up with her, but god knows how many times he has tried. Yina is really persistent when she said she needs 'several days'.

"Come on, you were such a genius when you tried to pair me up with Hwayoung. What's stopping you now ?"

"It's different.."

"Yina noona !" Haknyeon waves his hand to get Yina to come over, and she did.

"Yes ?"

"Hyunjae hyung needs help with his fitting, other stylists are doing something else."

Other stylists he meant are Jieun, Eunmi, and Hwayoung. The trio immediately pretend to do something else when Yina turns around to verify Haknyeon's words.

Whatever.

"Oh, sure. I can help." she says without even looking at Hyunjae. Instead, she invites herself to the clothes hanger and picks out Hyunjae's outfits, all of it.

"Go, I helped you." Haknyeon pushes the older guy with full force, his face saying 'if you don't make up I'll kill you'.

___

Stepping into the fitting room beside the waiting room, Hyunjae silently locks the door.

"Here. You can try it first and tell me if anything feels uncomfortable. I'll be here." Yina coldly gives his a blue suit set, waiting for him to take it.
