Life Past The Recordings

Side Story: Sucker for Happy Ending (3)

'How the fuck did we get to this point, again?'

The three of them have been spitting out remarks after remarks for the last moments, in which Rok Soo himself already gave up on how did their topic drifted so far.

'The conclusion of this 'discussion' is not even that of important?? Why are they still keep going, my goodness...'

Their banter has been getting ridiculous that Rok Soo's expression nearly declined into one of a blank canvas after some time later.

Now, He knows for a fact that he's quite petty himself— but really? 10 minutes spent on useless banter about how he is worse than them?

'What even those two aimed for?'

For him to admit that he's a good guy pretending to be bad?

For him to re-think that he is a bad guy pretending to be good?

That he is trash with a golden heart?

Is that even a thing??

'Aigoo...'

For some reasons he felt like gaslighting himself instead.

"I don't know if I rather defenestrate you punks or jump off a cliff myself at this point."

Feeling rather on the edge, he let out a sigh as he rubbed his temple in disdain.

"If I agree to be called a suicidal hero, would you two finally drop this?"

Lately, his mood was either Lethargic or Irritated... with some sprinkle of mischief once in a while.

There's barely anything else other than those.

At the moment, he's the former. However, he could tell that he can switch up real fast if things keep going as is.

Therefore before he can accidentally slip into the latter, Rok Soo asked them bluntly. No more spinning around.

"Just tell me whether you're okay with this or not."

His tone was set to one of aggravation, however, the two of them lightly frowned for a different logic behind others' flinches.

Just now, rather than angered, Rok Soo sounded... Tired.

His exhaustion displayed more for the two of them to hear despite how Rok Soo painted it as resentment.

Kim was especially disturbed about this since he was in the same state before Rok Soo came along and pulled him away from his toxic environment.

'Holy shit. Did I look this bad?'

Kim nearly let out a gasp when his eyes then drifted to the other reddish-brown who looked just as baffled as himself.

Kim and Cale's eyes met and expressed one similar reaction.

At the moment, Rok Soo's at the level where he'd just say fuck it and let himself get swept up with how things go without any complaint.

Rok Soo who has been wearing himself up with everything that's been thrown at him felt like he couldn't care as much anymore.

Too exhausted to debate and too spent to listen to everyone's bullshit.

With the stress that's been piling up nonstop, for once Rok Soo felt like reverting to his old shell that he's been abandoned for years than fighting back.
