Daydream Lee Daehwi FF

Chapter 6.

Y/N was crouched down on the floor, crying.

Regret dropped down on me, the way pianos drop in cartoons.
I felt myself get crushed by her tears.

Even if they were little sobs, to me, every single tear drop was another needle stabbing into my heart.

I myself, am not sure why this is happening...
Yes, because I'm an asshole, but Y/N has always been a really strong person. That's a fact.

Out of all this time in which we are friends this is probably the second time I'm seeing her cry.

First time was when she got badly hurt, falling off her bike.

I was paralysed, what should I do?
This time it's not physical pain, but emotional.

I was questioning everything.
We got in worse fights before, I never saw her cry.

Was I that harsh??

Or did something else happen??

Could she really be this upset about me skipping class??

I put all my thoughts aside. The reason is not important to me right now.

I ran into my room, desperately searching for the polaroids I found earlier.
I figured that why she's crying is probably either my fault, or today, for her, was as bad as for me.

Sure my stress build up today, and when I got to sit down and think about everything I cried too.

Grabbing all the photos in my view, I ran back into the kitchen.

She changed her position a bit. She was still on the floor but this time sitting down, her head looking up while leaning against the drawers behind her.

She had her arms wrapped around herself as if she was cold.

I unravelled then from around her waist and opened up the palms of her hands.
Then neatly placed the pictures onto her hand.

Daehwi: "Remember these?"

I moved and sat right beside her pointing at a few photos.

Daehwi: "Look, these are from Disney World California, your sixteenth birthday.
And this one I took of you a while ago when you were jamming to BTS with your headphones on."

I could see a small smile forming slowly on Y/N's soft facial features.

She gave me a little nod.

Daehwi: "This one I call 'The Prettiest Ugly Selfie'."

Y/N: "Why? We look like shit."

Daehwi: "Correction, I look like shit. Someone as pretty as you can't look like anything else other than a model."

Y/N: "Shut up..."
She said while blushing, though she wore a smile.
A very bright and innocent smile that I actually haven't seen for a while.

I missed it, that very genuine smile.

Daehwi: "Well it's true, so you have to live with me complementing you."

After I said that she paused for a good while and there was a moment of complete silence.

It wasn't really common for the two of us to be this way, but somehow the quiet was enjoyable.

Y/N suddenly tensed up a little, it was very visible. She was stiff and fidgeted with her fingers.

Her face looked like she was about to say something, but had to rethink how to put it into words.

I just looked at her calmly and waited for whatever was about to come out.
