Chapter 65; "Wounds that never left"

June 5th , 18:05 PM

"It's okay, they're just hating" Chaewon rubbed circles on Y/n's shoulders, massaging her comfortingly as the two of them were back at Y/n's house.

"What happened?" Y/n's father asked, earning a raised brow from Chaewon.

"Nothing" Y/n responded, not wanting to discuss it.

"Well you'll have to tell us at some point." Her mother chimed in, crossing her arms over her chest as she glanced down at Y/n seated on the couch.

"I'm sure that it's none of your concern" Y/n let out, standing up, taller than her 'so called' mother.

"There you again, blaming us for your life" her father let out with a scoff, his brows curled into an irritation mark.

Y/n went silent, Chaewon standing up after her before she took her hands to herself and squeezed it.

"Your choice." She let out silently, she didn't have the need to stop her. She was also pissed that parents like these existed.

"I never asked you to take care of me dad." Y/n turned around abruptly.

"Huh—" he got cut off

"I wanted your hugs, I wanted your sweet words whenever I was crying myself to sleep. Whenever I was hugging myself to sleep" She added, running a hand through her hair.

"If I recall, I don't remember receiving any of them except for the times I started earning money and had to bring stuff for you." Y/n glared down, taller than both her parents.

"Sure I never blamed you two for it, but maybe you could've tried being in my life" she added before turning around and storming off with Chaewon walking behind her, following her harsh and loud steps.

Arriving at her room, the door downstairs knocked before Y/n slammed her room shut with Chaewon already inside.

"Thank you." Chaewon let out before Y/n could say anything, or have a breakdown.

The girl was confused, why was she being thanked?

"For standing up for yourself. I've been wanting for you to do that for a long time now" Chaewon let out.

"I know you stand up for yourself outside with the others but you never said anything to your ..parents" that sentence was added, her voice trialing off as it echoed in the silent room.

Y/n raised an eyebrow, impressed by how much attention her friend paid her.

"I—... thank you." Y/n hesitated.

"I wouldn't have said that if you didn't mutter those words to me"

Chaewon smiled, pulling Y/n into a tight hug.

"Thank you for living Y/n."

Her heart dropped to her stomach, almost drowning as Y/n shuddered. Her throat aching all of the sudden as she swallowed harshly to not let out unnecessary emotions but a few stripes of tears rolled down her cheek, rubbing against Chaewon lightly

"It's okay, you can cry it out"

And just like that, the days passed by with everyone walking around, roaming around.

Steps echoed against the wedding hall, the assistants rushing around as they served the food to the tables.
