Waterfall

Chapter 10

Nayeon and Dahyun were back from their walk, and the younger was catching up on the long awaited and much needed sleep. She was finally able to fall asleep, of course after Nayeon cuddled her to sleep. Dahyun felt kind of better after talking to Nayeon, and telling her about everything that's going on. Despite the older's childish tendencies and behavior, Nayeon was a smart and wise girl. She made Dahyun feel better. Everyone made Dahyun feel better. Anyone who had nice words for her was basically her best friend. That's how the girl functioned. She could become friends with anyone so easily, and she was glad she had that quality, because now, her friends were helping her through something she thought she couldn't go through alone. Plus Nayeon bought her food, so the girl definitely didn't complain. 

Dahyun was waking up finally, and she looked around herself confused seeing nothing but darkness. Checking the time, she widened her eyes, seeing that it was 9 pm. 

"Did I sleep all day?" She whispered to herself. 

She realized she caught up on all the sleep she hasn't gotten in the past months. Change was noticeable on Dahyun. She even noticed she started talking to herself. Then she'd laugh at how dumb, pathetic, and in love she was. Then she'd cry again. It was a never ending circle. Her members would occasionally interrupt this circle, but Dahyun always found herself back in it, as soon as she was alone with her thoughts. 

It was raining outside. Dahyun smiled getting off of her bed, walking to the window. Her favorite thing to do on a rainy cold day was snuggling with Momo under a blanket, listening to the rain together near an open window. They preferred to be alone at these times. Their members were great to be with, however, they always managed to ruin their rainy mood, as Momo liked to call it. 

It was very peaceful that evening in their dorm. Only thing Dahyun could hear was rain, which was getting louder by the second. And it was calm. Unlike Dahyun's mind. It was chaotic in her head as well as her stomach. It felt like there was this heavy weight in the middle of her chest, and she felt like it wasn't getting away any time soon. It felt like it was there to stay. This inner turmoil that didn't let Dahyun eat, sleep, smile, laugh, or really, live, the way Dahyun was used to. 

Soon enough Dahyun was resembling the awful weather outside. As expected from a heart broken girl, who was unwillingly remembering her favorite memories with the favorite girl. She was wondering about Momo. Was the girl also thinking about all the things Dahyun was? Was she feeling as horrible as Dahyun was? Or was she making new memories with Mina? Was she telling her about the name she had for this weather, and did Mina agree about it being cute kissing Momo on the nose lightly before hugging the girl tightly, listening to her breathing slowly synchronize with the rain just like Dahyun once had the privilege of doing? 

Her cheeks were drenched in tears. Just like the window was drenched in rain. She really didn't see any differences. She felt everything at once. She couldn't escape it. And the only thing she wanted was to not feel. To be numb. To not feel how each drop of tear rolled down her cheek leaving a burning scar behind. To not feel how her breathing became heavier by the second, making it almost hard to breathe. Or how she swallowed a lump in her throat too often. Or how every sob that left her poor body sounded so painful, one would think the person was on their death bed. 

Random piano melodies started playing in Dahyun's head as she was listening to the rain with her eyes closed. Something about rain mixed with the soft piano melody was very calming, and she needed no actual piano for this. She had one in her head. But hers only played sad melodies, as Dahyun was feeling very sad. She had no desire to play the piano lately. Momo even killed that. The passion the younger had for music, and the passion she had for playing the piano. 

She heard someone clearing their throat, and quickly wiped her tears away. Turning around she thought telepathy must really be a thing since Momo was standing in the doorway, softly smiling at Dahyun.
