Beomgyu's P.O.V

"Are you sure she's coming?" I probe as I uncomfortably move in the bench we're sitting in. Impatiently, I hang my head in exhaustion and wonder how long it takes for a 17 year old to drive over here and give us some clothing assistance. Last time I checked, teens drove like it was the end of the world.

However, I know that the others didn't really care how long it was taking, they were really excited to see Hiyyih again, don't get me wrong I'm not upset about Hiyyih coming, its just when she starts taking too damn long to get over here, that's when I get a bit irritated.

"Stop whining, she'll come soon, my parent's house is close" Kai answers.

He's been a little sassier lately, I think maybe all the extra credits, school work, and part time jobs are really getting to him. He's been quieter and snappier, very unhappy, I would love to lend him money but he never accepts it, I wonder why and he never tells me.

By this time I've zoned out and just focused on the floor as the world slowed down for me.

'Not me acting like Ryujin' I thought unable to stop myself from thinking it.

However, I hear the familiar sound of Hiyyih's laugh, and I feel the tug at the edge of my lips, forcing me to smile at the beloved reunion. "Oppa!" Hiyyih greets joyfully at finally seeing her brother, I'm pretty sure I'm the only who noticed how teary eyed the two became, which indicates that they don't see each other often. "Hiyyih! How's it going" Soobin approaches the siblings whilst he gives her his best smile. "Bro you have a car now!" Yeonjun implies while noticing the car keys the teen is holding, and so she replies with a nod along with a smile on her face, the dimples that I've always known are there. 

There's some kind of closure in seeing that she's doing alright.

"It's been so long and you've grown up" I conclude with Yeonjun nodding afterwards in agreement, shortly after, we're all chatting about what we've missed in each others lives, I'm even sure that the guys completely forgot what we brought her here for, but I surely didn't forget.

I didn't wait that long for this.

"Yeah the last time I saw you guys was when...umm anyways how's university" Hiyyih's sentence trails off with realization into what she's saying, the obvious remembrance about leaving to Hanlim in a very bad mood, something Hiyyih witnessed. The awkward and intolerable silence about what happened between the two causes me to remember me and Taehyun's argument in the hospital. I was furious and wanted, no needed answers for what happened between the two.

Because I'm starting to doubt that Chaeryeong was in the wrong.

"Taehyun what did you fucking do!" 

I remember myself saying that, I remember gripping my hair with such aggression I was losing my mind, because their break up made me lose my friendship with Yuna, my friendship with Chaeryeong.

And I miss those days the fucking most.

Clenching my fists, me and Taehyun meet eyes and the intensity in the air forces him to look away.

"Oh Soobin how are things with you and Ye Won Unnie?" She asks and that makes all of us really think about a lot that she doesn't know, or thinks stayed the same. However, Soobin chuckles and answers delightfully, "Oh no Hiyyih, we broke up before I left to Hanlim, mostly because she was going to study in Japan."

Effortlessly, Hiyyih manages to set back the original mood, but I remain as I am.

Heart still swirling with so much heartache.
