Shoes walked past as they made the fallen leaves crunch in silence.
October 17th,
Hanni waited outside of the school gate to surprise her boyfriend's birthday with origami roses and love notes. She made sure to put everything together, preparing them in a neat manner.
Although they had been together for two years, the girl was always so nervous around Soobin. It wasnt that she felt uncomfortable around him, it was because the man never seemed to open the wall that was clearly standing in between their way, and neither did Hanni. Anyone but the two could clearly see that.
Minutes passed, what started as ten minutes had turned into two hours. For two hours, Hanni had been standing in front of the boys dorm, waiting for her said lover to show up for their date which she planned. If it were anyone else, they surely would've left the building coldly. However, Ms. Pham was a persistent person who always made sure nothing got in her way when it came to the people she loved.
So she waited, and waited, and waited.
She looked at her phone to check thw messages but sighed in despair when she noticed that the texts she'd sent earlier was being left on delivered. Where could he be?
'He must be sick.' She thought to herself.
The thought lingered on her head for a while, arguing with another voice that kept telling her to stay. However, despite being a strong-willed person, Hanni decided that it was time to reschedule the date just like how the couple always did.
On the way home, the girl drove past a mall and immediately thought of her Soobin. Maybe she could get a store bought present for him just in case he didnt end up being a fan of the origamis and poems the girl had made him, she thought. So she walked in and looked for a perfume stall -- oh, had she remembered the smell that her boyfriend liked. When she finally bought what she looked for, Hanni thought of another present idea and walked inside the arcade.
It was only going to cost her a few bucks to get a plushie for him, it shouldn't be that hard, right? Well, she was damn wrong. By the time the machine finally held onto the doll, eighty dollars were already spent. She furrowed her eyebrows in frustration. Anyone in the arcade could notice the excessive amount of sweat on her forehead -- an evidence to support the statement.
"Fuck," She let out a breath, holding onto the plushie.
Her wallet was thinning, but she was okay with it because Soobin's affection was worth more than any amount of money in the world.
Until,
"Soobin. . ." Hanni froze, dropping the plushie that she earlier held so tightly in her arms.
The old Hanni would've cried to see such a cute plushie being dropped onto the dirty arcade floor, but none of that seemed to matter at this moment. Because right now, her eyes had just witnessed her beloved lover getting kissed on the cheek after walking out of a photobooth.
The two boys were giggling.
Hanni didn't think much of it until Soobin gave a peck on Yeonjun's lips.
All three of them froze the moment they faced each other. Just like Hanni, Soobin wasn't expecting to ever having to come across this moment.
"You're- I-" The sight overwhelmed her, and so did her emotions. Just like that, her face heated up and tears made their way down her chin. If she had an option, she'd choose to have gone straight home instead of stopping by, but unfortunately, time wasn't something you could easily turn back.
There were so many questions to be answered, but anything was better than to be in the two boys' presence as of this moment.
"Hanni, let me explai-" The taller man grabbed her by the arm, and he realized that it was a mistake to do so when he saw the fist already formed.
His life flashed before his eyes when flashbacks thrilled his mind.
The first time they interacted.
It was a pretty odd thing to have somehow led to the two years relationship that they had.
Hanni sat calmly as she ate at the high school cafeteria, minding her own business like how everyone should. With no surprise, that rule didn't seem to apply to Soobin who purposefully made fun of Hanni's hairstyle. The girl only stood calmly, her mind only set on one thing -- taking matters into her own hands.
Long story short, the two ended up having their names called by the school principal. Luckily, it never became a big deal since Hanni's parents were absent on the day of settlement.
Tears after tears, they had already left the world when the girl was only fourteen. Meanwhile her "supposed" caretaker was away in Paris, enjoying honeymoon with her new fiance.
Now,
This time, Hanni's limbs already grew too weak to throw any punches at the man in front of her despite the loud shatter of her heart. She pushed him away and sprinted to her car, leaving the two men with guilty looks painted on their faces.
'Click' the car door locked.
Hanni turned up the music as loud as she could so that it could become a sort of distraction. Not that it worked. She spent the next fifteen minutes crying in her car, thinking of all the things she did wrong to deserve this.
Her eyes fluttered open, revealing the darkened sky, marking the end of the day.
Like any other person, the girl didn't want to pay extra for parking, meaning that she had no other choice but to drive home with swollen eyes.
What a great way to end the day, she smiled in pain.
__________
After everything that they went through, cheating was the last thing Hanni expected Soobin to do, especially with another man.
Did she gross him out that much to have made him reconsider liking women?
She sniffled, jiggling her keys. Home sweet home, she thought. Nothing mattered more now than her bed and TV. A sigh left her lips as the door unlocked.
She froze for a fleeting moment.
Her gaze moved to the massive artificial shell in the middle of her living room.
"What the hell?" She gasped as she approached the shell with caution.
It looked just like the things she saw on advertisements. Could it be? But she didn't remember ordering one. Hell, she didn't even remember the last time she had the money to even afford one -- at least not after her parents left.
What was that thing doing in her flat? Most importantly, how did such a structure get in through a single door?
Unless it didn't.
Either way, the egg-like structure managed to wipe all of Hanni's tears with a single presence.
Curious, she circled the oval. Her eyes quickly caught sight of the power button hiddne at the back of the structure. The screen above it said "Open". She wasn't stupid, though. Yet, curiosity won her over like always.
She lifted a finger to press the button. There was ni turning back now. The shell fused cold gas as it unlocked open, blinding every existential being with its brightness.
"Shit,"
Slowly, a silhouette of some woman appeared inside the structure. Hanni put a hand up to her mouth to prevent one hell of a scream that she was about to let out. She looked at the Eggnoid in disbelief, thinking that today couldn't get any worse when a naked black-haired girl hugged her before she even had time to react.
"Hanni!" It squealed.
"What the fuck?!"
