break up

Chenle looked at Yeeun letting out a heavy sigh, she looked back at him with questionable eyes picking at cuticles,  he walked over to her sitting down next to her.
" Something wrong?" Chenle asked
She sighed biting the side of her thumb, he knew she was nervous, he just didn't know what she was nervous about.

" Yeah, it's just that I've been thinking about...u-us." She said

" Go on."

" And um I...I don't think- I can't continue to be in a relationship."

" What? What do you mean?"

" Chenle it's just that I don't feel...I don't feel happy! I-I feel trapped in a relationship that I feel like it's going nowhere!"

" Trapped?! Trapped in our relationship?!"

" You have no idea how hard it's been, I am exhausted."

" I don't understand what you're talking about Yeeun."

" When is the last time you texted me good morning? Or at least... checked in on me? When was the last time you- you wished we were on a date?" She asked, he didn't say anything to her. The truth was that he couldn't remember the last time other than today when he asked her how he felt. He couldn't remember the last date they went on, or even cuddled. She was busy, extremely busy just like him, yet she still made time for him. She knew that the first 10 and a half months of their relationship was like a dream, but the last 2 months it felt empty. It felt like he was drifting away from her, she knew it. She knew it all too well, but she was scared, maybe she was overeating until she realized she was the only one texting.

" Yeeun I've been really busy, I understand how you feel. I really do, but-"

" But it's difficult. I know it is, maybe us getting into a relationship was..."

" It wasn't the right choice."

Yeeun nodded still picking at her fingers, he noticed the picking and small stream of blood. Letting out a gentle sigh he walked twords the coffee table picking up a small box. He sat down next to Yeeun extending out his hand to hers. Hesitatingly she grabbed his hand as he opened the small box. He took out white bandages and gently wrapped and cleaned her bleeding fingers. It was something he was used to doing, helping her over come her anxiety and taking care of her. But it also overwhelmed him. Yeeun knew and she tried her best not to make him worry, but it was something she couldn't control anymore.

" You need to stop picking at your fingers Yeeunine. Or else who's going to see your beautiful hands?" He asked smiling

He didn't know if he loved her, she didn't know either. But they shared something that maybe they could only ever understand the best.

A sad smile appeared on her lips, she knew that this was going to be the last time he would take care of her wounds. The last time she was ever going to feel special, the last time he would see the smile that made his heart melt.
" Come on Yeeun, it's for the best." He said
" I know, I...I just want to be in silence together one last time." She whispered

A simple nod from him and the both sat in the kitchen for what felt like a couple minutes turning out to be hours. Her hand was still holding on to his like her life was depending on it. He didn't want to let go of her at all, he wanted to enjoy the moment forever.

" Chenle, it's time for me to go." She whispered breaking the silence, the grip on her hand tighten as she slowly got up from the table.
" Yeeun, please don't go." He mumbled
She smiled softly, with her free hand she placed it against his cheek.
" Goodbye Chenle, I'll miss you." She said holding in her tears, she placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. His brought her hand to his lips placing a kiss on it.

Letting go of her hand he watched her pick up her things and walk twords the door. Opening the door she looked back giving him one last smile before closing it. He smiled back watching her leave and never coming back, he let out a heavy sigh before he let tears his tears win.

Yeeun slowly walked down the hallway  her bag clutched in her hand, million thoughts running in her head. Did she make a mistake? Is she going to run back and beg to get back together? No, she just kept walking till she was out of the building. The realization hit her, she was never going to be with him, she was about to run back in to say she couldn't do it and that she wanted to be together. Instead she sat down at a park bench, tears started to form and stream down her face.
