Prelude: In Their Respective Room

────── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ──────

IN HIS ROOM, a song Here With Me resonates while Taehyung continues staring at his phone. He was reading an online message sent by someone with a picture attached. The background wallpaper of his chat is of course, a picture of his beloved girlfriend diligently studying in the library.

And his wallpaper person, looks awfully similar to the context image he received a few minutes ago.

A picture of Yewon with Jimin at the school library park and he was holding her wrist.

Then his eyes move downwards, to read a text pinned with the picture, saying:

They’re cheating on you.

Taehyung’s fingers finally typing a reply on the keyboard.

No they don’t.

Sent.

Even after he confidently sent the message, deep inside, Taehyung started to feel restless. He left the chat and opened his chat with Yewon.

Yesterday she had told him that she wanted to be with Runa at the library then texted him she couldn’t find her there. And she never told him about Jimin. Taehyung kept scrolling up and down in case he missed a text but he wasn’t.

“What were they talking about?” he murmured.

♪ You say~~ I’m crazy ♬
♫ ’Cause you don’t think I know what you’ve done ♩

Suddenly, the next playlist of the lyrics hit his hearing. Taehyung automatically glares at the bluetooth speaker.

♪ But when~~ you call me baby ♬
♫ I know I’m not the only one ♩

When the next lyrics were sung, he immediately stops the song and slams down his laptop.

“They didn’t do anything. They were just talking.” Taehyung told himself. Yet, the image of Jimin holding his girlfriend’s wrist, flashed across his eyes. Then, Yewon’s guilt and worry expression after returning from the library made his imagination run even wild.

Taehyung left his chatroom with Yewon and returned to the previous chatroom.

Delete the picture.

Sent.

Impatient, Taehyung kept checking every few seconds if she has replied his text. His fingers danced on the study desk as time kept ticking.

Ting!

Nothing will change even if I delete it.

He frowned and unknowingly, his jaw began tightening.

What do you mean?

Time passed ever so slowly after he demanded for further explanation. 1 second to 1 minute and then few more minutes. There was no new notification. Frustrated, Taehyung pressed the call button and waited until he reached mailboxes.

In another room, with a baby pink wall, a girl was staring at her laptop screen. Although, her eyes were actually as empty as the plain virtual document before her. There was only a picture of two persons attached with nothing written above nor beneath it.

Whenever her fingers seemed determined to dance on the keyboard, in a split second, they will automatically froze in hesitation and this repeats for nth times. The longer she stays on her study chair facing her laptop, the longer she falls into the loop. The only thing that managed to return her sanity was countless unanswered calls from her classmate, Taehyung.

In the end, she broke down crying for what she was about to do.

In a different room with earth tones, dried flowers in a vase, a girl was seen spacing out from behind. She who sits on the bed, has her face out the window with eyes closed and slowly breathing as she lets night breeze touching her face and flipping her notes on the desk. She couldn’t care less about her paper tomorrow. It’s chemistry. A tough yet an interesting subject. She enjoyed it a little bit more than physics, but tonight, she find no fun in studying it at all.

Bzzt. Bzzt.

Bzzt. Bzzt.

And her phone hasn’t stop buzzing since dinner.

You’re worrying me. What happened?

I don’t have a good feeling... tell me what happened??

Hey... you don’t look well today :(
sleep early okie!

Good night

Those are the recent texts that pops up in her notification bar. And it seemed a certain someone was bothered as well until he forget to send her his usual heart emoji.
