"moon, river and me."__________________________
FINDING them listening to the soft sound of the waves in the water, sitting out by the river as the full moon reflected prettily on it — acting as a spotlight.
There was a lingering silence between the pair, as she pulled her knees to her chest, eyes lingering over the small ripples. Her gaze only shifted as he nudged her softly with his shoulder, averting her attention to him.
“Are you okay?” Heeseung questioned, arms draped over his knees as he stared down at her features, illuminated by the moonlight. “That was rough.”
“Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry.” Haewon breathed out with a gentle laugh, shaking her head as she shrugged the situation off as best as she could.
The boy hummed, not fully convinced given her tensed shoulders, and the slight twitch of her brows as they furrowed, knitting together.
Another moment of silence passed by, the faint whispers of the wind brushing past them until she spoke up once again, her words coming out slowly and hesitantly.
“You— uh, didn't kiss her?” The girl uttered, lips tucked into a thin line as she stared down at her knees, her fingertips grazing against the exposed skin as she traced small circles to ground herself.
The boy listened attentively to her words, doe eyes settling on the starry sky that dazzled above them. He scoffed quietly, blinking slowly as he replied.
“Why would I?” He raised a brow. Haewon turned her head, eyes wandering over his side profile — his lips, curved into a small smile.
“I mean— I don't know.” She admitted sheepishly, averting her gaze away as she let out a sigh, pausing as she tried to voice out her train of thought.
“I was just thinking,” Haewon began once more, pausing briefly as she swallowed the lump in her throat, “I don't want to hold you back, if that is the case. Even so, I don't know why I would.”
Heeseung's eyes softened, coming to the realization that the words spoken from Kim Miyoung's lips had gotten to her head, planting seeds of unnecessary guilt and worry deep within her mind.
He turned his head, shifting closer to her as he chuckled gently, shaking his head off to the side.
“I would never kiss someone, let alone befriend someone who treats you horribly for no reason, Haewon.” Heeseung muttered, tilting his head off to the side.
