"Let go of me!" Seoyeon yelled, struggling against Yooyeon's grip as Yooyeon dragged her out of the practice room. Her voice echoed with anger and frustration.

Yooyeon led Seoyeon into an empty room, her hand still firmly around Seoyeons arm as she guided her inside, she gave Seoyeon a gentle yet deliberate shove, guiding her inside and shutting the door behind them. The room was filled in tense silence as the two girls stood alone in a room again, each of them on the edge as their patience stretched to its limit.

Seoyeon spun around, her eyes blazing with annoyance, and took a step toward the door, shoving Yooyeon aside in a determined attempt to leave. But before she could make it even halfway, Yooyeon's hand shot out, grabbing Seoyeon's wrist in a strong grip. In one swift motion, Yooyeon pulled her back, pressing her firmly against the wall, her hand braced on Seoyeon's shoulder, pinning her in place.

"Are you stupid? what is wrong with you!" Yooyeon said with her eyebrows furrowed in anger. "You went too far earlier yelling at the other members for no reason and now you're just trying to leave?"

Seoyeon looked up at Yooyeon, rolling her eyes as she tried to pry Yooyeon's hand off her shoulder. But Yooyeon only tightened her grip, pressing Seoyeon harder against the wall. She placed her arm firmly across Seoyeon's chest, making it clear she wasn't letting her slip away again.

"Can you just let go of me Yooyeon, for fucks sake! lets just leave everything between us alone everythings fine the way it is!" Seoyeon yelled, leaving Yooyeon in shock, her eyes wide and face full of disbelief.

Yooyeon slowly lifted her arm off Seoyeon's chest slowly backing away. "Are you serious right now?" Yooyeon muttered, her tone a mix of disbelief and heartbreak as she tried to process the sudden shift in Seoyeon's demeanor.

Seoyeon brushed her hair aside, straightening out her clothes, attempting to regain her composure, her movements mechanical as if trying to erase the chaos of their emotions. She didn't want to show how much Yooyeon was affecting her, even though everything inside felt like it was unraveling.

Turning back to face Yooyeon, Seoyeon adopted an emotionless expression, masking her real emotions. "What do you think?" she replied letting a bitter laugh escape her lips, laced with disdain and an unspoken pain. The laughter sounded hollow, echoing in the silence between them.

Yooyeon's heart sank at the sight of Seoyeon's forced facade. "This isn't fine, Seoyeon!" she pleaded, her voice trembling slightly, an edge of desperation creeping in. "You can't pretend everything's okay when it's not. We can't just sweep our feelings under the rug like they don't matter!"

Seoyeon let out a shaky breath, the tension in her shoulders visible despite her effort to stand tall. "I can't deal with this right now," she replied, her voice wavering as the bravado began to crack. "It's easier to pretend than to face what we've done to each other. I don't want to talk about it anymo-"

Before she could finish, Yooyeon leaned in and kissed Seoyeon's lips in an attempt to silence her. As their lips met, a rush of unexpected warmth spread through both of them. Seoyeon's eyes widened in surprise, but soon softened as she melted into the kiss, savoring the moment. After a brief pause, Seoyeon jerked back, disappointment written across her face. "No Yooyeon" she breathed, shaking her head slightly. "You can't just kiss me and pretend everything will be okay."

"Why are you shutting me out, Seoyeon?" Yooyeon exclaimed, her voice rising slightly. "I miss you and i miss us but you keep acting like we're strangers!"

Seoyeon took a step back, feeling cornered by the intensity of Yooyeon's gaze. "We just cant Yooyeon. You should know this too, you should know the risk it has on us and the group." she said turning her gaze away from yooyeon's face.
