Taerim? Why haven't you been updating with Lee Minho?
We've agreed on it.
Followers are waiting for content.

I sighed, flipping my phone around. "Hm?" I lifted my head, standing up right after. "Nothing. I'm gonna go shower now," I told him.

Minhos POV

I shouldn't be doing this.. I shouldn't.
The door into the bathroom closed as I only remained on the couch with her phone laying right in front of me. I cleaned my throat, shaking my head abruptly.
Still, I read through the messages.
Why is she doing this? As a favour for me? Because I told her it would be uncomfortable being posted now? Because she wanted to spend the last weeks with me only? "I forgot a towe-" Her voice faded when spotting me. I didn't keep eye contact but swallowed, hesitantly placing the phone down beside me. "I thought.. it was mine. I didn't pay attention," I lied. Taerim took slow steps towards me, causing me to slightly back off. She reached down, grabbing her phone. The screen was still turned on, talking myself out of it would be stupid. She sighed before speaking up. "If I think it would've been necessary to mention, I would have done it.. Ask me next time directly." I let my hand do its own and reach for her wrist. "What are you gonna do about it? Are you going to tell followers that.." She denied by shaking her head. "I think I'm ending my contract." My eyes visibly widened. "What? So sudden?" I lifted myself, standing face to face. "It's just.. I don't think it can give me what I was hoping for. No, it is not what I wished for it to be. This place is a deep black hole which suffocates your whole being.. slowly, and painful. I feel watched and exposed. I thought I'd be okay with it.. I'm not. It's simply uncomfortable." I scanned her neutral face, which simply owned a hint of confusion. Right, some people have to experience stuff themselves and endure it to be able to make their decision. Maybe this all happened for her to find the right path. Maybe without me, she would've never even gotten the option to figure it out. I wanted to reach for her head and caress it, and afterwards pull her into a hug, but I forcefully held myself back. I'll have to get used to it; not to press the call button each night before I drift off just to hear her voice. It has to start somewhere. "Do what you think is right. It's something you'll have to find out yourself." She nodded with a thin smile. "Guess so.. I'm gonna go shower then."
My eyes followed her disappearing behind the bathroom door.
