Y/N:

Let's break up.

[Her voice cut through the silence like a blade, sharp and sudden, slicing off Seungcheol's words mid-sentence. It was the last thing he ever expected....the last thing he ever wanted to hear.]

Cheol:

W–what? What did you just say?

[His voice cracked, disbelief painted across his face. His entire body stiffened as though her words had knocked the air out of his lungs.]

Y/N:

Let's break up, Coups.

[She said it again, quieter this time. Her back was still turned to him, like she couldn't bear to look into his eyes.]

Cheol:

Why?

[It barely came out....a fragile whisper, almost lost to the stillness of the room. A single tear slipped down his cheek, his breath catching.]

Y/N:

I thought we were best friends... and that if we started dating, we'd be happy. I really believed that. And yes....I used to love you. Deeply. But I'm sorry... I can't keep lying to myself. I can't control my heart, Coups. No one can. You can't force love to stay when it's already fading.

[Seungcheol stood frozen, the silence between them swelling with pain. He didn't say a word....he couldn't. He just listened, his world crumbling beneath his feet.]

Cheol:

When did you realize?

Y/N:

What?

Cheol:

Your feelings for me... When did you realize that you don't love me anymore?

[His voice trembled, barely audible, like it hurt just to say the words aloud.]

Y/N:

Last year... That's why I stopped talking to you. I needed time to think....to figure things out. To understand what I was really feeling. I didn't want to make things worse.

Cheol:

So... this is what you want?

[He was shaking now, eyes brimming, tears falling freely. There was no rage, no pleading....just quiet devastation. Y/N looked at him, and what she saw shattered her: a version of Seungcheol she had never seen before. One who looked utterly lost.]

Y/N:

I....I'm sorry, Coups. I never wanted to hurt you. I still care about you. I always will. But if I keep pretending, you'll end up even more hurt than you are right now... and I can't do that to you.

[She took a breath, her voice cracking with guilt and grief. But she didn't take her words back. Because she knew....this was the only way.]

Cheol:

No... we didn't even get the chance to be together properly. You feel this way because of the distance, Y/N. But you're here now. We're in the same place again. Please... let's just try. We can fix this. Don't leave me like this.

Y/N:

Coups... please. Don't make this harder than it already is. Don't say things that will make me crumble. I already feel like I'm breaking....don't add guilt to the weight I'm carrying. Please... just go.

Cheol:

Am I a joke to you, Y/N?

[His voice cracked, trembling with pain and disbelief.]
