priorities | go eunhyeok

[ 14 ]

It was Sunday. I lay in my bed, tiredly scanning all of the pictures and posters decorating the walls of my room with my eyes. I went shopping with Ajin because we wanted to go buy new lip tints at the mall. We had a lunch date and for some reason I feel exhausted. It was still pretty early but I didn't have anything else to do. I had already showered, brushed my teeth, and gotten changed around 19:00.

After a couple of minutes, I hear a knock on my door. Su-ae pokes her head inside and opens the door wider so that she can come in. I didn't respond, I simply relaxed my eyes and closed them.

"Hey, Y/N? I have something I want to talk to you about, I don't know who else I could go to..." She trails off, and I feel her presence standing by my bed, her eyes piercing my face. She waits for a response and I sigh.

"Uh... yeah? What is it?" I responded after a few seconds. She climbs up onto my bed and leans her back against the wall. I sit up, staring at her and I wait for what she has to say.

"So, it's about Minu... sort of. I can tell that he doesn't really like me, even after we've gotten back together. I want to make him jealous... I want him to like me again," she begins speaking.

"Where are you going with this?" I ask her before she can go on any further, raising an eyebrow.

"I was thinking about a plan. I know that we were trying this jealousy thing with Eunhyeok, but I feel like it's not enough, you know?" She avoids getting to the point.

"Get to the point, Su-ae I'm tired," I inwardly roll my eyes and try to make her talk faster.

"Oh- uh, so, I was thinking, I could cheat on Minu with Eunhyeok... I-I mean Minu cheated on me with Ra-im before, so I..." Su-ae looks down at her thumbs, twiddling them.

My heart, however, drops. I don't know what to say. I don't want Eunhyeok to do that with Su-ae. That would be like saying Eunhyeok was Su-ae's. I feel jealousy pricking my body yet I don't know why. I don't want to get angry at her. I can't, she hasn't done anything wrong.

All of a sudden I regret helping Su-ae with her plan earlier. I stare at her and my vision turns hazy. My mouth doesn't move. I don't even know why I'm reacting like this, it feels as if it has come out of nowhere.

Su-ae finally looks up at me, and I mask my expression. Again, I have no clue how to respond. "Uhm, so I guess I'll ask Eunhyeok if he's okay with it tomorrow. Have a good night, Y/N." She slides off of my bed and opens my door back up.

"Wait! Su-ae-" I tried to call out to her but she had already shut the door.

My body weighed myself down and I didn't even have the energy to go after her. I just sat there, processing the conversation that had taken place only a mere ten seconds ago.

Should I have told her how I felt about it? How do I even feel about this anyways? All she did was mention her being with Eunhyeok. Su-ae did nothing wrong so why am I mad at her?

-: ✧ :-

I set my alarm for super early the next morning so that I could refresh myself and leave the house early. I didn't want to see Su-ae right now. In fact, I didn't want to see anybody right now. I just want to be alone.

My morning routine went how it usually goes. Shower, brush my teeth, skincare, makeup, and hair. I got dressed afterwards and made a breakfast bowl. I packed my bag while listening to music. I made a smoothie in the blender and poured it into my water bottle for today. I left the house at 6:30 and tried to be as quiet as I could be, avoiding waking anybody up.

I had a lot of time to kill so I decided to stop at a park and just relax, sitting on a bench in front of a fountain. Nobody else was around. It felt like pure bliss. It took my mind completely off of the previous night.
