that morning was filled with the sound of quiet muffled sobs coming from yeji as she showed you everything seowon was saying

you didn't realize how bad it was getting until you saw it firsthand. the way he called her all those awful names, let her beg for forgiveness because she thought she needed him, told her how easily he could be done with her. it was heartbreaking to see how distraught yeji was over such a stupid manipulative boy

yeji felt like her entire world came crashing down when he said he could easily leave her. she knew people would think she's stupid for being so stressed about a boy but she couldn't help it, she was a teenage girl, he was the love of her life, she needed him. she genuinely didn't think she'd be okay without him. it was like every bone in her body felt weak at the thought him leaving. yes he was mean to her and no he didn't treat her the best but that was just because she needed to try harder. she needed to be better for him. it wasn't his fault, it was hers. it was all hers

no what am i doing it's not my fault. but maybe it is... no. it's not. i just need to fix this and i'll be okay. it'll all be okay. it's gonna be okay...

"yeji"

she looked up and saw y/n looking at her softly with concern in her eyes. she was worried.  yeji had been spacing out again

"sorry, i'm fine" she looked down and wiped her tears just for them to keep falling

"it's okay if you're not"

"but i need to be" yeji started

"we're on a trip, visiting your family. i can't ruin it. i'm okay"

y/n shuffled closer to her and pulled her into a tight hug

"you're not okay. and you don't have to be. you don't have to be anything for me. you're not ruining anything, i promise."

yeji hugged her back and let the tears fall into her shoulder

"if you're feeling bad, i would rather stay with you until you feel better than ask you to fake it and deal with it alone."

they pulled back and adjusted their seats

"thank you y/nie. can we just sit here for a while, i don't want them to see me until i'm better."

"of course"

————————————————————————

it was now about 2 hours later and everyone was finishing up breakfast. yeji had just stopped answering and that was enough for seowon to snap out of it and apologize. she still wasn't answering as much but she wasn't a complete mess anymore

niki couldn't help but smile at his phone as he kept typing

"who you talking to" jake tried to peek over his shoulder to no avail as niki pointed his screen in the other direction

"oh come on you don't want me to know who your little girlfriend is" he teased

"i don't have a girlfriend" niki replied without looking at him

"not with that attitude you don't !" jake took the phone out of his hand and smiled in surprise as he read the familiar name

"y/nie ? as in han y/n ? well well well nishimura riki"

"how do you even remember her" the younger asked as he yanked the phone back from him

"uhh maybe because she's SUPER close with hoon and we've hung out a few times because of that"

"wait the three of you have hung out" niki asked straightening his posture

"yeah she's cool. im pretty sure all the guys have by now"

"all of you except me apparently" niki slumped back into the couch

"on the bright side, since we're all chill with her and sunghoons like bestfriends with her we coulddddd help get you together but for that you'd have to admit you like her" he smirked as riki looked at him debating what his answer would be in his head

-back in chicago-

he's taking a while to answer. he must not be on his phone anymore

yeji had gone to shower and get ready for the day as y/n helped her older cousin nayoung clean up the table

"who's the boy" nayoung asked

"what ?" you looked at her blankly

"the boy you've been texting since you got here. pretty impressive he seems to text you throughout most of the day since i'm assuming he's korean. the time zones are way different he must like talking to you" you smiled a bit as she spoke

"not korean but he is in korea"

"oh? where's he from then?" nayoung walked towards y/n and slowly guided her towards the couch to sit as they talked

"he's japanese. he moved to south korea 4 years ago" y/n smiled as she spoke and nayoung could only smile back as she could tell her cousin must like this boy a lot

"how long have you been dating"

"what? w-we're not. we're friends" y/n's cheeks flushed as she cursed at herself in her head for stuttering

nayoung knew they weren't. she only asked to see how y/n would react

"you're usually not this bad at lying" she giggled as she got up patting her cousins shoulder and leaving back to the kitchen as she left said cousin thinking

why does everyone think i'm lying...
