Another World (yeongyu ff)

Yeonjun's POV

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes as the memory of the previous night's argument with beomgyu replayed in my mind. I turned to look at the empty space next to me in bed, where he should have been, but the sheets were cold and empty. A pang of guilt washed over me as I remembered the harsh words I had said in the heat of the moment. I sat up in bed, a heavy weight of guilt settling on my chest. I picked up my phone, hoping to see a message from him, but the screen remained blank. I knew I had messed up and needed to fix things. I got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom to start my morning routine, but my thoughts were solely focused on beomgyu and how I would apologize to him once I saw him at school. As I stood in front of the sink, looking at my reflection in the mirror, I replayed the argument in my mind. I brushed my teeth and splashed cold water on my face, trying to wash away the remnants of the fight. Every time I thought about what I had said to him, a wave of guilt washed over me. I knew I needed to apologize and make things right, but a part of me was also scared about how he would react.

After finishing my morning routine, I moved to the kitchen to have breakfast. I mechanically poured myself a bowl of cereal, but I couldn't focus on my food. Thoughts of beomgyu and the impending conversation we would have consumed my mind. I took sips of my coffee, hoping it would ground me, but the bitter taste only reminded me of the bitter words we had exchanged. I took a few more bites of my cereal, but the food didn't seem to fill the hollow feeling in my stomach. We never really fought and for some reason it felt weird I glanced at the clock on the wall, which seemed to tick louder with every passing second. Time seemed to be moving in slow motion, as if the universe was playing a cruel prank on me.

It literally felt like I would never see him again.

All I wanted was to fast forward to school, to the moment where I could finally apologize to beomgyu and make things right. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to focus on the present. I knew I couldn't sit around all day, dwelling on the past. I quickly finished my breakfast and gathered my things for school. With each movement, my mind was filled with a mix of anxiety and determination. I had to talk to beomgyu, and school seemed like the best opportunity.

I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door. Every step felt like walking through quicksand, but I forced myself to keep going. The walk to school was a blur, my thoughts in a constant whirlwind as I silently ran through the apology speech in my head. Time seemed to drag on, each second feeling like an eternity before I finally reached the school gates. I paused for a moment outside the school gates, taking a deep breath to calm myself down. I reminded myself that the argument with beomgyu was just a small fight, and it wasn't the end of the world. I could fix this, all I had to do was apologize and talk things through. With a renewed sense of determination, I pushed open the gates and stepped into the school grounds.

I walked through the school corridors, trying to maintain a composed exterior despite the maelstrom of emotions inside me. People passed me by, some greeting me with cheerful "hellos," but I was unable to match their enthusiasm. My mind was solely focused on finding my boyfriend and setting things right. Every step took me closer to class, where I knew he would be waiting. 

As I entered the classroom, I looked around, expecting to see my boyfriend amongst the students. But he was nowhere to be found. A sense of confusion washed over me, mingling with the frustration and anxiety I had been feeling all morning.

Where could he be?

I took a deep breath and made my way to my seat, trying to appear casual as I sat down. My mind was still racing, wondering where beomgyu could be and what it meant for our conversation. I tried to focus on the teacher's voice as the class started, but my thoughts were elsewhere.
