i'm glad you've reached home safe. thanks for talking to me. if i could've helped anyhow.
he texted.
and then after that were him saying good night to her. she hadn't replied back to that text. she had fallen asleep by then.
she hastily opened the voice recordings of bubbles.
"holy shit."
last night after the hangout at beach with her friends, she stayed there a little bit longer. sometimes being alone made her think back to all the things that went wrong at one point.
that night she drank. sat on the empty beach and stared at the dark ocean that shone under the moon light. it was calm and peaceful. maybe as an introvert, that's what she needed, recharging herself after a long day of socializing.
but then she heard her phone ring. once, twice, she let it be as she stared at the screen which read Mom. she let out bitter chuckles as she took another sip from the bottle. that's when her phone rang again. but this time it wasn't her mom. it was a notification from steller.
seeing heeseung active in bubbles, she joined him. as the song ILYSB played in the background she talked her heart out to him.
maybe she was born in the wrong world. that's what she thought. maybe the people in heeseung's world were nicer just like him, likeable and understanding.
he was on the voice until she reached home. but maybe her home was there on the line.
now that she listened to last night's voice calls, all the memories rushed back to its place. she was even more embarrassed. "why did i do that? he already knows a lot about me," she groaned.
then her eyes wandered to the flower vase on her table as she noticed the orchids. somehow they gave her comfort. they conveyed their message. it's alright.
you're alright.
