"Let's break up." That's all she seemed to mumbled.

Kyungsoo sat still, saying nothing in response. Maybe he's afraid to even hear his voice at that moment. After a good fifteen minutes of staring at the table, he finally spoke up, the shakiness in his voice wasn't fully covered, and that in all the ways truly broke her heart. "If that's what you want... then let it be that way."

She exhaled, forced a smile and stood up. "Then I excuse myself, I have something important to do right now. Please enjoy the coffee." She stopped for a second, then whispered under her breath. "Thanks for all the good time... and sorry."

Not sure if Kyungsoo heard it or not, but he looked up right after that, only to find her turning her back and walking away from him. He smiled hurtfully. "If you're happy that way... I'd do anything for you."

Day 1

Kyungsoo was in his room all day. He had been staying silent as soon as she left the coffee shop the day before. He didn't eat, didn't take a bath or anything. He simply flopped on the bed as soon as he reached his room. And tried to fall asleep. At least he tried.

On the other hand, she seemed to be doing just fine by herself. She went to work, eat with her co-workers and go home. She started to write diary again. It was fun somehow.

When the dark came covering the sky above the neighborhood showing a beautiful starry night, they found themselves somehow drifted into an uneasy sleep.

Day 2

Kyungsoo found himself texting her multiple messages. Only to be saved as drafts.

"Hey Mei. How are you today?"

Too awkward.

"Hey Mei. Are you doing good by yourself?"

Too obvious.

"Hey Mei. It's Kyungsoo. Just in case you've already erased my number. It has been 2 days, but I feels like 2 months has passed already. I hope you're doing well. Uhm... Don't worry about me, I'm doing fine as well. Just wanna know if you're okay..."

He let out a sigh." She probably is doing just fine all by herself. What am I even doing?"

She stopped by a food stall to buy dinner. The road was busy as always. She sighed, acknowledged the fact that she would have a rough time going home. Again. Unconsciously, she chose spaghettis and Sprite. Such choice. She couldn't help but to laughed out loud when she realized what dinner was.
"Not as good as his cooking though..."

Day 3

He eventually went back to work. All the projects just couldn't stop him from missing her though. But he still tried. He had to.

She bought a cup of iced Americano and let out a yawn. She had a project to finish today. Staying up late again. How tiring life is.

1:00 AM
Kyungsoo found himself again saving messages as drafts. He couldn't sleep soundly, so he decided to just look at the ceiling. Pointlessly. Maybe he'd be sleepy somehow.

She stretched her sored body, as a sigh of relief left her parted lips right the moment she finished the project. She tiredly lay down on the wooden desk since she was too exhausted to even move to her bed. Just minutes later, a soft snoring sound was heard as she was comfortably lying there. It seemed like she had been used to it since forever.

3 month later

Kyungsoo sighed tiredly as his work day had finally ended. Projects came one after another didn't even let him breath.
"Hey Kyungsoo, wanna go grab a drink later?" Chanyeol - his co-worker happily suggest. He simply shook his head as a no and went to the door, leaving Chanyeol awkwardly scratching his head while mumbling his "Ok then".

Waiting for the traffic light to turn green, her eyes wandered around and just accidentally caught the sight of Kyungsoo walking out of his office... with a girl. He looked really happy. Maybe they were talking about something funny since he laughed and smiled a lot. The girl looked really beautiful. They seemed to be really comfortable with each other's company. Maybe that's the one? That fast? 3 months are not short, though. She smiled faintly. And just a second before Kyungsoo looked that way, she had took off.
***

6 months later

He heard from her friends that she had been promoted and will go to the US soon. He could've careless. But he didn't. He still clicked in whenever he saw her name. Every news, every pictures, basically everything. He sighed. "You have more important things to do, Kyungsoo. You'll be promoted this time if you're good enough."

Today is the day. She was in the airport. But refused to get in the plane. Her eyes kept searching for something, or someone. When the time came, she just let out a sigh and came in, refused to open her mouth. Maybe she was disappointed.
