It was as if her whole existence was that of a butterfly - beautiful, carefree, joyful. Then it all fell apart and that beauty, carefree nature, and joy dissipated into the never ending abyss.
Cue the betrayal of a moth.

A week went by and no one saw any signs of those fliers. No one talked about them or said anything to Chisoo about them - she almost forgot they were made in the first place.
In that week, Haknyeon had noticed a significant change in Chisoo's behavior. She had been smiling more often, playing around more, she got along with Younghoon and Sangyeon, and she had been playing the guitar more frequently.
She was finding herself again, and Haknyeon was proud of her for that.
"Some people make me wanna bang my head against the wall." Chisoo mumbled angrily as she worked on her algebra homework.
Sangyeon furrowed his eyebrows. "Like?"
"The list goes on, Sangyeon," she sighed. "Are you and Younghoon going to Haknyeon's house after school?"
"Our house." Haknyeon corrected from in front of her.
She finally looked up, only to see the back of his head. "Our house."
"I am," Younghoon looked at Sangyeon, who nodded. "So is Sangyeon."
"Movie night?" Haknyeon asked.
Younghoon smiled at the idea. "Yes, please."
"Be quiet for a second."
At Chisoo's request, the boys got quiet and stayed that way for several moments. They gave one another a glance as she kept her head down, continuing to work on her algebra assignment.
"Why did we have to be quiet?"
She held a finger up, then looked up as she put her pencil down. "I really wanted to finish this but I couldn't concentrate with everyone talking," she rolled her shoulders back and stood up. "Ready?"
The boys nodded and stood up, walking out of the classroom with her to head home.
Chisoo squinted as the sun hit her face, but she quickly adjusted. The walk to her and Haknyeon's house was fairly quiet - every once in a while, the boys would say something to each other.
Chisoo was trying to focus on staying as far away from the road as possible while simultaneously blocking out the sound of cars going by. She hated being in a vehicle, she hated being near them, she hated the thought of them, but it was impossible to completely avoid them.
She kicked the rocks on the sidewalk as she walked, but she jumped when she heard a car honking. Struck by fear, she grabbed onto the back of Haknyeon's hoodie and pulled him back so that she could be closer to him.
