Faulty Hearts (aka "Tara & Belle") [Dreamcatcher | SuYoo | Sua x Yoohyeon]

Chapter 22

Author's Notes:

Well, well, well. Hi there! Back again with another update. It's been a long time coming as this was one of the first parts I've written when I started my story although it has been heavily revised as the story changed and evolved. I'll tell you what parts were original at the end notes.

Oh, I wasn't sure if everyone read the previous chapter, I didn't see my usual commenters (you know who you are) but that's ok y'all are probably busy and I suppose 21 and 22 could be interchangeable without throwing off the flow. But anyway, enjoy as always!

 I'm sorry.

An arm flailed to the other side of the bed, hitting empty space. Muscles stretched and bones cracked throughout her tired body. Bora opened her eyes last, shielding them from the light that revealed everything in the room. Her body. Her self-respect. Exposed. Like a babe in the woods. Then it finally dawned on her what had happened. She turned to the side, confirming that the space next to her had been slept in but was empty now. Panic set in.

"Hello?" She called out but only her echo responded. Her worst-case scenario was confirmed when she found no signs of Yoohyeon anywhere.

"No. Idiot! You're such an idiot!" She scolded herself.

Bora scrambled around the bed looking for her clothes and found them piled on the floor. Fortunately, she was still wearing her panties but there she sat sulking in disbelief. How could she have been so foolish? What did she think was going to happen? Traces of last night flashed in her head. And now Yoohyeon was gone. How could she just leave her alone in the city like that? Furthermore, in the same room where her girlfriend had betrayed her. But how was she any different? Bora realized. The thought of it made her sick to her stomach. There was no way to make it make sense.

"Fuck!" Bora screamed, trying to make the thoughts disappear. Almost immediately she heard the sound of a door opening and closing.

Bora peered over the railing and saw a familiar hooded figure enter the suite. She caught eyes with Yoohyeon who happened to glance upward toward the loft. Her mouth dropped open, releasing the paper bag clenched between her teeth. It fell to the floor with a squishy sound.

"Oh! You're awake?" Yoohyeon exclaimed. "I didn't want to disturb you so I just stepped out for a bit to get food." She presented her hands holding two drinks and the bag of food now on the floor.

"Shit! I thought you ditched me here and left!" Bora yelled, obviously upset.

Yoohyeon's face dropped this time. "Seriously? Did you not see my note?"

"What note?" Bora stepped back and felt something crunch beneath her foot. There it was, a piece of hotel stationery with "BRB" scribbled on it. She hissed at the misunderstanding.

"Sorry."

"It's fine. Um..." Yoohyeon couldn't say anything else, feeling the most embarrassed between them, especially what she could see from her view.

That was when Bora realized she was still naked save for her panties and her long hair covering her chest. She crossed her arms and yelled again.

"Turn around! Get out!"

"Ok, geez!" Yoohyeon threw her full hands up. "I'll be out on the balcony." She clumsily opened the sliding glass door with her foot. Roaring ocean waves filled the room briefly then went silent again.

Bora hurriedly slipped on the rest of her clothes, nearly ripping a run in her black leggings. Her billowy red shirt had become very wrinkled but she couldn't complain about it right now. She quickly descended the steps and scurried to the bathroom.
