Kim Namjoon - I don't believe in love, and if you are looking for that in me and us, then you should stop right here, Y/N.
Y/N - I'm not searching for love either, and I don't want you to feel anything special for me.

Y/N - Why don't you i...
As I said bye to Y/N, a light feeling lifted my mood. Today was the last practice before the concert, and all I could think about was spending every second with her. After today, it would be just us, together with no distractions. And tomorrow... tomorrow, maybe I'd finally tell her everything I've been holding back.
I kept turning it over in my mind as I walked to my car, my heart racing at the thought of confessing. Was it too soon? She'd only recently come out of a relationship. What if I ended up rushing things and ruining the best thing in my life? But at the same time, it felt impossible to keep my feelings hidden any longer.

By the time I got to the parking lot, I was still deep in my thoughts. I started the car, letting these hopes and worries run through my mind, but as I pulled out, reality brought me back—Geum Hi was standing right there, exactly where she always seemed to be. I clenched my jaw slightly, trying not to let her presence mess with my head. I wasn't in the mood for any arguments, and I sure didn't want any extra stress today. So, without a word, I stopped the car, letting her get in. Whatever she needed, I'd just deal with it quietly—I wasn't about to let anything ruin today.
Geum Hi slid into the passenger seat, glancing over with a soft smile.
Geum Hi: "Hi, Hannie."
I gave a short nod, keeping my eyes on the road. Silence settled over us. She shifted, clearly trying to break the tension.
Geum Hi: "So... how have you been?"
Without answering, I reached for the music, turning up the volume. She sighed, then reached over and turned it off.
Geum Hi: "Don't worry, Hannie. I won't try to talk if that's what you want. You don't have to go this far."
I kept my eyes ahead, gripping the steering wheel, saying nothing. A few minutes passed, and I thought she'd let it go, but then she spoke again.
Geum Hi: "Actually... could you stop somewhere for a moment? I haven't had breakfast. I'll just grab something quickly to take with me."
I sighed, nodding as I pulled up at the nearest café. She looked over, appreciative.
Geum Hi: "Thank you."
The door closed as she stepped out, and I finally exhaled, letting the silence settle around me. Being near her felt... heavy, like a reminder of something that no longer felt right. It was strange to think that once, she had been all I wanted. And now, her presence only felt like an obligation, something I just wanted to escape.
My thoughts drifted to Y/N. Had I rushed things? She'd only just gotten out of a relationship—was it fair of me to bring my feelings to her now? What if my confession made things uncomfortable? What if...
