우지
I savor the shocked expression Jeon Wonwoo is wearing.
His girlfriend has one on too.

"Boyfriend?"

I nod, resisting the urge to slip my hand in yours for the act.
You look brittle.
If I touch you, you might break.

"Yeah," I say.

"But, I thought-"

"Well, you thought wrong," I cut him off.

It is so satisfying to see him flinch at the sharp glare I aim towards him.

However, before he can question it, I replace it with such a smile that whoever sees it would think that I do not hate him.

"We should go," I tell the couple.
"Soonyoung and I still have a lot to do today."

I take one step closer to you, but that is it. I don't want to risk any more than that.

"O-Oh okay," Wonwoo says. "Sorry if we got in the way of your date. We'll leave first."

And then the two leave.

Got in the way.
He thinks he's just 'getting in the way'.
He's stupid to not know it's more than that.

호시
I breathe in and out shakily as I watch Wonwoo and his girlfriend walk away, hand in hand and happy.

I can feel your gaze on me.
The one you use when you ask me if everything is okay.

It's not.
I want to tell you that I'm not okay.

You probably can see a bit of my pain right now. I'm not so good at hiding everything anymore.

But I still have to hide the rest that I can right?

"I-I'll just head to the w-washroom. Be right b-back."

I walk away.
And then when I know I'm out of your view, I run.
I sprint.

I don't know where, but somewhere.
