Blur memories (Scoups X Reader)

2 days later:

[It had been two long, silent days. Seungcheol still hadn't returned. The hope of him ever stepping foot into their home again had begun to wither in Y/N's chest. No one dared to speak his name in front of her...like even the mention might reopen wounds she was barely holding together. Each hour that passed only added to the quiet ache in her heart. Knowing Seungcheol, his silence was deafening. And terrifying.

Everyone sat in the living room, their faces clouded with concern, whispering about how best to support Y/N. The air was heavy...until the sudden ring of the doorbell sliced through the tension like a blade.]

Y/N:

I'll get it.

[Her voice was soft but steady as she stepped out of her room. She opened the door...and there he was. Seungcheol. His eyes were swollen and red, the dark circles under them betraying sleepless nights. He looked broken. Lost.]

Cheol:

Can we talk?

[He could barely look at her. His voice cracked, raw and uncertain. Y/N didn't speak...just nodded, eyes welling up with tears as she opened the door wider for him.]

Cheol:

Not here... I want to take you somewhere. If that's okay.

[There was a strange distance between them now, like they were standing in a room full of memories but couldn't touch any of them.]

Y/N:

Okay.

Cheol:

I'm waiting in the car.

[He turned and left. Y/N stood there for a breath longer before quietly slipping on her shoes. Everyone watched her, anxiety brimming in their eyes. The silence was louder now.]

Hao:

Call us... if anything happens.

Y/N:

Thanks.

[She gave them a small, reassuring smile...one that barely held together the trembling fear beneath. Then, without another word, she followed him. She climbed into the car, shutting the door gently behind her.

Seungcheol didn't say a word. He just started the engine, eyes fixed on the road ahead, his silence louder than anything he could've said.]

Flashback:

Mrs. Choi:

Cheol, what happened?

[Seungcheol didn't answer. His jaw clenched, eyes fixed on the floor as he stormed past his parents and disappeared into his room, slamming the door shut behind him. Mr. and Mrs. Choi stood frozen, confusion painting their faces.]

Mr. Choi:

What was that? Didn't he go to sort things out with Y/N?

[His voice was laced with concern as he looked down the hallway where their son had vanished. Mrs. Choi just shook her head slightly, just as lost. But before either of them could process anything further...crashes. A loud thud. A scream. Shouts. The sound of something breaking echoed from behind Seungcheol's door.

They rushed to his room and flung the door open. The sight shattered their hearts...Seungcheol was on the floor, hunched over, hands covering his face as sobs wracked through his body. Pieces of a shattered photo frame lay nearby.]

Mrs. Choi:

Cheol-a... what happened? You went to talk to Y/N. Did she say something?

[Her voice was trembling as she knelt beside him, gently rubbing his back. Seungcheol turned and clung to her like a lifeline, breaking down in her arms.]
