Space [Wonwoo]

Stay

A month later, Soojung and the boys still continued to hang out. They still walk to and from school together, go to the arcade on the weekends, go bowling, or maybe watch movies, and pretty much everything remained the way it was. And so did Soojung's condition.

Soojung's heart condition worsened through each day. Her heart ached every day, maybe every hour of the day if she counted. Her breathing was in an uneven rhythm and there were times when her body felt like it was losing oxygen. The summer weather didn't help either. The heat directly hitting her causes her body to feel hot and she'd be parched and dehydrated.

These are just some instances of what Soojung's day is like, there are days when it's worse but there are no days when she felt any better. The pills and doctor's appointments were futile, she would say. There's no use in trying to survive when you know you can't, rather you should know how to spend that period of time living to the fullest. Soojung lived by those thoughts.

Wonwoo and the others were at the park. The boys were scattered around, some were playing basketball, some engaged in dance battles, some were just joking around and laughing, then there's Wonwoo - listening to his music while jotting down lyrics for a new song.

Humming to Cheeze's 'What Do You Think' while holding onto his pen, his phone buzzes and notifies him of a new message.

Wonwoo!!! Wassup?

Usually Wonwoo would get annoyed when someone or something gets in the middle of his songwriting, but this time it was different. He silently chuckled at Soojung's cuteness. Attempting to sound cool when she's a ball of cuteness, Wonwoo smiled at his own thought.

Wonwoops

Soojung-ah!!! Don't try to act swaggy, it's so-

Cringey

Soojung 🐰

K. I'm unfriending you if you can't accept the fact that I'm-

Cooler than you

k. bye.

Wonwoops

K. Unfriend me.

Yes, unfriend me so you won't leave me in the friendzone, Wonwoo mentally said to himself. A few seconds later, he began to realize that what he just said was stupid. Friendzone? Hah, I don't like Soojung that way, no, I shouldn't like-

Soojung 🐰

I can't 😟~ You're like one of my favorite persons in the world.

Okay, apparently, I wasn't friendzoned, I was freaking person-zoned. Wonwoo knew they were just friends nothing more, nothing less. Though he can't keep himself from falling for Soojung.

Wonwoops

Well, same. I like you more than Gyu tbh but shhh don't tell.

Yup, I like you more than Mingyu, a whole lot more. But shhh, I can't tell you that. I'm such a coward, aren't I? Wonwoo sighed over and over again because he was ashamed of himself for not being able to say those words.

"Wonwoo, why the long face?" Jun, his friend who's in senior year, questioned Wonwoo who seemed stuck. Wonwoo looked down to the ground, "I hate myself. I...I couldn't even tell someone what I want to say." Wonwoo confided.
