Aecha's P.O.V.
The first two weeks hadn't been so bad, playing games, watching movies, me practicing, me practicing a little too much to Han's taste.. Hobi called me everyday at first, but it became every two-three days. I knew he'd prefer being out there.. Being free. Free from responsibilities, free from the rollercoaster of emotions, free from me. The more I thought about it, the more I realized he might better be off without that burden. He wasn't happy with me. I knew that. That's why I didn't argue about him coming back late, leaving early.. He had more fun dancing with his band and friends than taking care of me. That was sure.."I can't believe you guys will move in Gangnam together!" Han stated still focused in the game.
"I honestly can't believe it either.." I sighed putting my controller down.
"Chacha where are you going?" She asked following me.
"To take a shower and go to bed.. I'm not feeling well." I answered going up the stairs.
"Something is wrong. Tell me." She insisted.
"Han.. Just leave me alone and go home.. You have work tomorrow anyway and I don't need a sitter." I explained getting myself a towel.
"Why are you like this?" She sighed. "Fine.. I'll leave you alone."
I got into the bathroom and heard the front door close. Sorry Han.. I just can't tell you..
Yoongi's P.O.V.
I decided to video call Ash.
After what I heard from Han, I wanted to check on her myself.
"Hi Yoongi oppa. Aren't you busy?" She answered casually. I worried so much about her.
I smiled seeing her."I'm not busy right now. I wanted to see how you were doing."
"I'm getting better. Han is not into dancing, but she doesn't mind watching me when I practice." She replied.
"Right! Hobi told me you still had the moves." I laughed.
"Yeah right.. He told me that straight after I fell on the ground. But I'm getting there." She scratched her nape.
"That's what I like to hear! Wait.. Is there something on your arm?" I thought I saw something as her sleeve dropped.
She immediately pulled it back."No! No. I mean.. Han drew on my wrist and-"
"Show me. Ash. Ash.. Pull up your sleeves.." I knew what I saw.
She showed me the marks on her white lower arms."You know about these already.."
"What I see are newly done ones." My tone was serious. She said it helped her wash her pain away. I understood her, but I needed to stop her from doing it again.
"I'm sorry Yoongi.. I swear that I try my best.." She apologized.
"Hey.. I'm not scolding you. Did you treat them?"I asked as she nodded.
"Like you told me too." She smiled.
Ash.. It's not the right time to smile.."You know I'm only trying to help you by telling you to clean up.."
"I know..I feel like you're the only one I can have a normal conversation about this with." She confessed."You're the only one who doesn't see me as a monster of some sort."
"Please stop thinking that.." I demanded.
"I'm not blind Yoongi. Jin oppa doesn't look at me the same way he used to. Nobody does. They give me these pitty looks when I don't react the way they want me to. Hobi's trying, but I know he feels the same way as the others." She rose her voice.
I tried to reason with her."They aren't you.. They didn't live a similar situation. They don't understand how you feel. But.. I know one thing. You're trying to get better. Not just at dancing like you used to. Not just physically, but mentally and you had the strength I didn't have to actually tell someone, to tell me.. I promised I'd help you in any way I could and I'm trying to do that."
She glanced down."Right.."
"Keep Ae-in close okay?" I asked her.
"I will.." She smiled.
I putted my hand close to the camera."High-five fighter." I smiled.
She laughed and did the same."Fighting. Goodnight."
"Goodnight.." I waved before ending the call.
She really is something.. The first time I saw her in our studio, I never thought that she'd be that type of person .That this strong minded and socially shy person could be.. Someone like me.
I smiled to myself. Her real smile came back when I mentioned Hobi said she still is excellent at dancing, she kinda got shy and smiled. That little spark he talks about, I saw it, for the fraction of a second I did. Keep fighting.
