timid heart ↠ twice 2yeon [slow updates]

25 . Obstinate

"Just please, get in the car." Begged the driver in the vehicle.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I want to walk?" The brunette complained as she continued through her stroll on the sidewalk. The fact that Jeongyeon was still slowly following her with a car, irritated her. As if she haven't already told her to stop multiple times.

Jeongyeon let out a small sigh. She finally found Nayeon, but she underestimated the difficulty she had to face while trying to persuade her to get inside the car. The older one was unpredictable so Jeongyeon had no idea where she might be traveling to. She wasn't good with talking someone out of things as well. With this kind of situation, lying would be preferable, but Jeongyeon decided to stay somewhat pure. Lying would probably only make things worse.

Nayeon was still angry about what just happened half an hour ago. It was the second time her parents have hid important news that would affect her. She was never given consent about moving out of the house. Getting kicked out when the maids and drivers were finally coming back was also not in her agenda. Nayeon doesn't actually have a planned route from here. She doesn't know where her apartment is, but she has a lot of options in her mind.

After a few moments later, an unexpected pain made Nayeon wince. She quietly groaned to herself. She'd forgotten about her injured ankle once again.

Looking forward, Nayeon remembered about a huge night attraction market near where they were headed. She'll go there to eat and then call a taxi to one of her friend's house. With this plan, Nayeon forced herself to ignore the pain and kept on walking.

All Jeongyeon could do was watch Nayeon from her vehicle. She noticed her pause for a few moments, which immediately gave away that it was her ankle that caused her to do so.

Concern rushed began to rush through Jeongyeon until a loud honk suddenly averted her attention, almost making her jump. She turned to look at the rear mirror and saw that a couple of cars were waiting impatiently for her to drive faster. Reluctantly, she glanced at Nayeon who also looked back at her with an expressionless face.

"Come on hurry up!" One of the drivers from behind yelled angrily. More and more honks sounded and Jeongyeon began to panic. Subtly, Nayeon watched the blonde quickly pull over to the side. She quickly looked away when the younger girl got off and started to approach her.

"Are you alright?" Jeongyeon asked, now walking side-by-side with Nayeon.

"Go away." Nayeon bluntly replied. She purposely limped faster to avoid the other girl.

"But your ankle," Jeongyeon glanced, catching up. "it's hurting you."

There was no response so she observed Nayeon's face quietly. A frown formed on her face when she realized how relentless Nayeon was. Sighing, she looked away and remained silent by her side.

As the two continued to walk, the view of the sunset formed on the sky. The sky had a mixture of orange, red, and purple. Jeongyeon stared amusingly while gradually slowing her tracks down. She've never noticed the details of a sunset, nor have she really took her time to appreciate them. It was worth taking a picture, she thought.

Nayeon held her phone out to take a picture. Jeongyeon tried to make out an emotion from her, but she couldn't tell.

Hesitantly, the younger girl pulled out her own phone as well. Jeongyeon held the device in front of her and tried to take a photo, but she noticed that Nayeon was also in the frame. She slowly brought her phone down.
