❝ Something she can't have. ❞

ㅡ ahyeong

I wake up with Taeyong still sleeping beside me. I look at him, moving the hair away from his eyes that's covering it.

I sighed before getting off of the bed. I take a quick bath.

I checked the time and it's just 7 am. I get out of the bathroom and saw Taeyong sitting on my bed, rubbing his eyes like a child. I chuckled and walk towards him.

"Good morning, Mr. Lee." I said in a playful tone and he just laughed, reaching his hands out for a hug. I hugged him and he suddenly pulled me to lay down beside him.

"What's with you today, Tae?" I laugh but he only laugh.

"Maybe it's because I'm falling in love with you." He said then I blushed. I look at him and he still looks half asleep.

"You're half-asleep, Taeyong." I said but he only whines and shake his head. He then kissed my forehead. A memory suddenly popped into my head and my hands starts trembling.

"Tae.. I need to go." I said before grabbing my clothes and run to the bathroom.

Once I wear my clothes and a little bit of lip tint, I put on my shoes. I grab my bag and run out of the dorms.

I sighed when I still can't forget about him. Hell, it's been 6 months and I still can't get him off my head.

Because of him, I became a model but also because of him, I was in pain.

I slowly walk to the nearest cafe and just bought a drink to calm thyself. I saw Jaemin just sitting on the corner and I walked closer to him.

"Hey, Nana. Why you here?" I asked and his eyes widened to see me.

"Oh? Didn't expect to see you here. Just here to calm my head." He said then I nodded.

"Well, I'm here to escape from love and pain." I said, resting my head on the table.

"Noona, stop thinking about him and move on."

"I did move on but I can't stop thinking about him and the pain he caused." I said, almost in a whiney voice. I can feel Jaemin rolling his eyes.

"He is the reason why you became a model but also the reason why you're scared to ever love again. What made the pain trigger?" He asked, taking a sip of his drink.

"Taeyong confessed." I said, making him choke on his own drink.

"What!? He confessed to you?" He said, shocked from my words. I nodded then he starts to look worried.

"Well, are you okay with that?"

"That's what I'm afraid about. Will I be okay with that? What if I get hurt again?" I just start messing my own hair and Jaemin stopped me.

"Well, he and Hyung aren't the same so, how are you sure that he will hurt you like him?" He asked, reaching out a spoon of his cheesecake to me. I take a bite and just look at the cake.

"I'm scared of feeling the same pain again, Nana. The future is unpredictable so, I don't know if he will hurt me or not." I said then he sighed. He caress my hair, calming me down.

"It's worth a try anyway."

I stare at the empty seat beside me. Ahyeong didn't go to classes today. I didn't even realize that classes ended because of thinking about her.

Did I get rejected? I think so...?

She did just run away from me so, I do think that it's rejection.

I stand up from my seat, going to the school garden. I was just spacing out until I felt someone sit beside me.

"Hey, Jaehyun." I said, no mood to talk to him.

"Why you sad? Confessed to a girl you can't be with?" Jaehyun asked then I nodded.

"And got completely rejected."

"Oh.. sorry, dude. What exactly did she say?" He asked, thinking about this morning.

"She didn't say anything. She just run away." I said, ruffling my hair with my very own hands.

"Maybe, it's not really rejection." Jaehyun said, opening his soda before taking a sip. I look at him with a confused face.

"It may reminded her of something.. a past or something."

"Jaehyun, running away from a confession is more like a rejection." I said, saying my thoughts but all he did was laugh.

"For you, actions is more than words, just like girls. It is a fact that us, boys prefer words over actions but now that I think about it.. in relationships, actions speaks louder than words." He said, smiling but I just stick my tongue out before hearing him laugh again.

"But you two aren't dating nor in a relationship so..." It was him sticking his tongue out this time.

"But actions can be misinterpreted sometimes so, that makes words better than actions. In the end of the day, it's a 50/50." He said, taking another sip of his soda before staring at the sky.

"So.. what does it mean of she just runs away from m confession?" I asked then he hummed, thinking.

"Like I said before, it might've reminded her of something in the past or she's just afraid of love, of getting hurt but also like I said, actions can be misinterpreted.

Maybe, she's just in a hurry or something might've happened to leave your confession like that." He said before patting my back.

"Talk to her then. I heard from Jaemin that he's with her." He said, giving my back before pushing me to stand up. I look back down at him, him just giving me an encouraging smile.

I was about to walk away until..

"Make sure you won't give her something she can't have!!" He shouted, making me think what it is.

I look back, seeing Jaehyun walking away.

Something she can't have?
