The busy corridor gradually became quieter as YN left her class and headed for the exit. She was still thinking about the assignments for the day, but as she got closer to the university's main door, she observed something familiar and it drew her eye.
Lori and Jungkook were talking away there, close to the door, their footsteps matching each other as they strolled side by side. As YN took in the scene, the background noise of students passing by and the far-off sound of classroom doors closing seemed to recede. Jungkook's focused expression and Lori's gestures made YN smile.
YN stood there, watching Lori and Jungkook's relationship unfold before her eyes, a big smile on her lips. She had a momentary thought: what if she were Lori? Placing herself in Lori's shoes, YN couldn't help but think of their comfortable chat and mutual giggles. As she considered the "what ifs" of the situation, a range of emotions came to the surface.
She watched them for a while longer, feeling both curious and satisfied. As the landscape was softly warmed by the sun, YN discovered that she was grateful for her relationships with Lori and Jungkook, both of whom brought special hues to her life.
YN's happiness was short lived as she turned from Lori and Jungkook to the approaching Mike. A knot in her stomach tightened, casting a shadow of discomfort over her face. Mike was an unwanted guest in her life, carrying with him memories best forgotten and a wave of uneasiness.
YN's big smile gave way to a cautious expression as she prepared herself for their approaching encounter as he approached closer. The difference between the comfort she experienced from Lori and Jungkook and the anxiety sparked by Mike highlighted the complexity of her social environment. YN took a deep breath and braced herself to confront Mike and the unwanted chapter in her past.
YN went from feeling uneasy to becoming forceful as Mike drew closer to her. She spoke in a quiet, measured tone that left a sharp comment hanging in the air. "You better not breathe the same air I do," she said, drawing a distinct line in the ether between them with her words.
A tangible intensity pervaded their interaction as YN and Mike's anxiety erupted due to their common past. There was a lingering challenge in the air as YN's words rang with a combination of defiance and a desire to take back control of her personal space. Surprised by the assertiveness, Mike halted for a second, his face revealing a mix of realization and unease.
Mike's mischievous smile betrayed a hampered determination in spite of YN's unwavering claim. "You are still loved by me! You must not to overlook that!" With his possessive words hanging in the tense air, he pushed, "Now, let's go." Ignoring YN's limits, he wrapped an unwanted embrace around her arm in an effort to regain control over their broken relationship.
YN felt a wave of frustration as she was torn between her need for freedom and his tight grip. The past weighed heavily on her as they proceeded, serving as a constant reminder of the difficult process she had to go through in order to separate herself from a relationship she had wished to end.
"We broke up, Mike! You have a girlfriend!" With her teeth clenched, YN let out an exasperated and frustrated yell. Mike continued to pull her toward his car, and she felt the weight of her troubled past flash before her eyes. The words YN spoke were still echoing, a last-ditch request for acceptance of their broken relationship. But Mike seemed unmoved, driven by a poisonous determination. The conflict between Mike's demands and YN's assertiveness created a disturbing scene by emphasizing the unresolved issues in a relationship that had long since been unhealthy. YN's mind raced as he drew her nearer to his car, trying to process the uncomfortable truth of this unwanted reunion.
Lori and Jungkook on the opposite side looked around, suddenly riveted to the chaos that was developing. It was impossible to ignore the physical fight with Mike and the distressed whine of YN.
The awkward looks between Lori and Jungkook filled the air. They were both concerned about YN, but they didn't move an inch .
With a look of worry on his face, Jungkook was hesitant to approach YN. His plans appeared to be shadowed by Lori's presence, an imperceptible barrier created by fear. Conversely, Lori felt guilty for not taking proactive measures to protect her close friend from the upsetting circumstances. A mixture of regret and a desire to make up for her perceived failure was visible in her eyes.
Trapped in a state of indecision, the complicated dynamics at work and the desire to assist YN left Jungkook and Lori frozen by their own feelings.
For a brief while, YN turned back to look at Jungkook and Lori before reluctantly giving in to Mike's strong tug. She looked at them, their frozen forms marked with helplessness. A secret cry for help could be seen in YN's countenance.
As YN was forced to get into Mike's car and be taken away from the campus, the incident played out in excruciating slow motion. Unaware of his behaviour, Jungkook balled his fists in rage, his feelings simmering beneath the surface. Lori exchanged a serious gaze with Jungkook, struggling with the overpowering sense of helplessness in the face of a friend's difficult situation. Lori was divided between guilt and concern.
The air was filled with Lori's sharp comments, accusing Jungkook of apparent inaction. With a hint of disappointment and annoyance in her voice, she exclaimed, "I know you don't like YN, but you could've stopped this!" Jungkook was caught off guard by the weight of her accusation, which weighed heavy in the tense environment. At Lori's claim, his eyes grew wide with amazement, his face displaying a mixture of surprise and denial.
Her voice was a mix of sadness and sincerity as she said, "I am sorry, Kook!" Her remarks had a lasting impact, acting as a link between the previously spoken tensions.
"I have to leave!" Declaring quickly, but out of a deep worry for YN, Lori did so. There was an air of unresolved feelings at the place after her departure; the sound of her footfall echoed back. The seriousness of the problem was highlighted by Lori's departure, as her thoughts were consumed by concern about YN and the intricate relationships that appeared to tie their lives. Jungkook was left behind.
Driven by an intense resolve and worry for YN, Jungkook did not waste any time. He ran to his parked bike without pausing, starting it and hearing the engine roar to life. The sound of the motorcycle's unmistakable rumble reverberated throughout the campus.
Jungkook rushed with a resolute determination, the wind rushing against him as he raced in the direction Mike had led YN. His movements were as fast as his emotions were, his thoughts only slowing down to keep up with what was happening.
When Jungkook got to Mike's house, his bike slid to a halt in front of the otherwise empty house. His expression flickered between panic and irritation as he looked about, but YN was nowhere to be seen.
Jungkook's stomach knotted as he thought about the possibilities. Where might YN be? The scene was made more eerie by the silence surrounding Mike's residence. Resolved to keep trying, Jungkook got off his bike and looked about for any sign that would point him in the direction of YN.
An increasing sense of despair gnawed at Jungkook as his search reached YN's home. The stillness of YN's home reflected the emptiness of his search for her. Nothing of her could be found in the rooms, adding to his worry.
