Strangers ~ Sae-byeok

I did something similar on my other account:)

Y/n pov-

I Sat on the balcony overlooking the city, it was lit up with colourful neon lights, cars filling the streets. I take a deep breath as I enjoy the peacefulness, although it was a public balcony and I had a feeling someone would come up here soon. I take a sip of my beer, I hated beer but it was all I could find so it would have to do. I was celebrating, celebrating me finally leaving the worst thing in my life... love.

"Can I sit?" A girl asks, I look up and see her face is emotionless, her presence was cold and eerie but who was I to stop her, I nod my head and she takes a seat next to me. I look at the full case of beers and decide to pass her one, I wasn't going to finish them so may as well share. She looks at me confused but accepts the drink "What are you doing up here?" She asks me. I take a deep breath and answer her.

"Escaping... escaping just everything" I take another sip, the drink wasn't getting better. "Fair enough, society sucks" She drinks from the bottle although she seemed to like it more than me. I chuckle at her comment "Tell me about it" "So who did you wrong?" It was like she could read me like a book "My ex" I take a sip and continue,

"I was trapped in a relationship I blindly thought was only love but really... it was hell hidden behind a pretty face, someone I thought was going to love me and never leave managed to run so far away that all that was left was the broken pieces and her constant vicious words pilling down on top of me... to the point it felt I couldn't breath" I stare out at the city as I think back at the relationship I so foolishly stayed in.

"Deep," She says, I turn to look at her "You?" I ask "What about me?" She questions "Your story, what is it?" She takes another swig and answers my question "I moved here thinking things could change, that maybe I would be happier or healthier... freer perhaps but I'm not so sure now. It seems moving here caused me to lose more than I had, a constant fight for my family, for my safety one I never thought I would have to take on- This world is so big yet I feel so trapped and unable to just live my life" She finishes, I look back at the city.

I had only just met this girl and yet there was something there, a sense of unspoken understanding and respect. I finish my drink and place the empty bottle next to me, "Y/n" I extend my hand "Sae-byeok" I smile lightly at her name, it was beautiful; she shakes my hand. "I love nights like these" I admit, bringing my knees to my chest hugging them tight "Why?" She asks.

"It's calm, still, nothing to bother or upset you. This is my freedom and it can be yours too, think about it. Up here your all alone, no one comes up this late yet the city is so full... full of light, and colour, full of laughter and hope- it's full of life. Something so busy and chaotic from afar is so peaceful and captivating" I smile as I look up at the shining stars in the sky.

 "You sound like a wise person... Y/n" She uses my name, I look at her again. "One who is wise is someone who manages to put their own personal experiences into the problem yet doesn't make it about them, I'm not wise, I'm just experienced"  

I lay back on the bench, now all I could see was the night sky but I felt Sae-byeok's eyes still on me " 'The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool' Shakespear" I tell her "What does it mean?" She lays next to me. "From my understanding, only a fool believes he is clever enough or considers himself to be wise, whereas a wise man believes he is a fool because he recognises that there is always more to learn and know." I talk, "You read a lot don't you?" She smiles, this was the first time she had smiled tonight and it was gorgeous "All the time" Was all I said.

We lay under the night sky in silence, the time flying past. "I should get going" I stand, picking up the final beer bottle, we had drunk the rest. "See you tomorrow night?" She asks I was surprised I mean I didn't think she would want to talk to me again "I wouldn't miss it" I wink and walk down the stairs of the balcony leaving Sae-byeok alone.
