» 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: reserved university student cora struggles to grasp onto the values and ideas of her biggest dream;
falling in love.
her unfortunate past has continued to linger with her until the present day, making it difficult for her to mak...
a couple drinks in and the cora was feeling much more at ease. though there were far too many people for her to feel comfortable sober, the alcohol slowly presuming home in her system made it tolerable (don't drink y'all, it's nawt good for u. if u can help it of course).
jeongguk introduced cora to some of his other close friends, to which they took a liking to the girl rather quickly as she won them over - like she did with most she spoke to - with her comical, scintillating character.
to her fortuity, the girl discovered two of her newer friends, alice and kyrah in one of the far corners of the hall, chattering and laughing amongst themselves.
the two seemed like a tight-knit pair, like the perfect friendship duo that required no other person in their group. yet, they welcomed cora with the most open arms, easily adopting her into their friendship circle.
and over the past week, they grew very dear to one another. a companionship that blossomed into one of comfort and blithe. a relationship that reminded cora of her prized bond with yara.
"girls, this is yara!" cora had persuaded her best friend to meet kyrah and alice.
"hello," she bowed politely, "alice and kyrah, right?" she indicated between the two.
"yes! i'm alice, and this is kyrah." alice introduced the two of them respectively, "feel free to sit!"
yara and cora took a seat at the silky sofa as per alice's offer. kyrah's eyes drifted over yara intently, analysing her every move, from the way she introduced herself to the way she straightened her coat as she sat down.
"do you have a partner?" an undaunted inquiry indicated at yara came from a wondering kyrah.
"oh... yes, i do." the newly blushing girl responded, trying to find the courage in face of such a pretty person. "i have a boyfriend, he's over there," yara stated, pointing to taehyung, dancing and singing with a small group of people.
"ah ok, thank you for telling me." kyrah's optimistic mask fell, "you're very gorgeous. i'm bisexual, and i saw a chance." she brushed it off lightheartedly as she sipped the drink in her hand, "that was so forward, i'm sorry."
alice and cora eyed each other with mischievous smiles, déjà vu coursing through them as they recalled a similar moment of eye contact when kyrah was ranting about hoseok on the tuesday just passed.
