Past: It's Over

CHAENG's POV

 8 months after we were together, or atleast I thought we were... he seemed fine and well. We still saw each other often, talk every night. I still remember the last happy, long conversation we had before the storm came.

"Good Evening Chaeng..." Yeol said on the phone

"Good evening too yeol." I replied.

"How was your day?"

"Well, it's fine.Great actually..."

"Why is that?"

"well, we are finally gonna get a comeback!"

"Seriously? Oh my God! Congrats Chaeng! I'm happy for you. YG finally gave you a comeback. But I still hate him because it was too long"

"Really? Yeol? From someone who doesn't get comebacks now too?"

"well Chaeng, I also have a news for you... we are going on a world tour soon."

"Really? Congrats!"

"yeah... we're really rolling are we? well, i have to say goodnight now"

"goodnight yeol, i miss you."

"goodnight chaeng, i miss you too... let's meet again? tomorrow?"

"let's meet tomorrow."

I was so happy that night. I mean, why wouldn't I? I'm gonna see him again. Little did I know, that that would be the last time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were in the Green house on Solji's garden. She's still is in the states for treatment. Her family came to see her so we have the whole place on our own, yet we decided to stay in the green house since it kinda lead to us to something deeper.

"You're gonna be gone huh? I mean I'm really happy for you but how long are you gonna be gone?" I honestly to Yeol.

"Well, manager said atleast 4 months, so it can be more than that. Plus, we really aren't going back and forth to Korea because we have our schedule packed. It's pretty tiring. And you, you're gonna be a lot busy too." Yeol answered.

"Well, we will be too. Comeback preparations for a month, the actual comeback, promotions, fansign events, variety shows, it'll be pretty packed too."

"Well, distance can't separate us right?"

"I hope it won't" I said.

"I know it won't"

You know what's funny? He had the guts to tell me that when he was the one who ended up giving up. 

The months continued but we had a hard time communicating. I was busy, He was busy. We don't have much time free and if we have, we end up sleeping not realizing we don't talk often anymore. He still was all sweet and that but it definitely is different. It's like... he's not doing that because he wants to. It seems like he's doing that because he feels the need to. I never understood why, and I think I ever will.

CHANYEOL'S POV

Well, after we confessed what we feel for each other, it certainly was a lot closer. I was worried she might take it the wrong way but I actually enjoy it. I actually really liked her. Talking to her, being with her, It was really fun and amazing. Maybe that's why when we both got busy and did not communicate at all, I... I lost interest. I am now doing what I always wanted to do and that is to perform. In some ways, I thought being with Chaeng got me off-track but now I'm back... and the most excited I've ever been. 

I tried to be like before with her... so she... she doesn't worry much.

"Hey, uhmmm... how was your day?" She asked me on the phone.

"Pretty okay. It was fun... definitely happy to be doing this again."

"Well, it's hard being pretty far."

"I actually like this more. Definitely loved the new energy, atmosphere. I felt the passion again... the enjoyment. Something I probably lost."

"I hope you're okay there. I really missed you."

"You too. I need to go now, I'm really really sleepy. Good night Chaeng! Bye!" then I hung up the phone and went back to sleep. I badly need one.

The next morning, we didn't have any schedule and so does Chaeng so she decided to call me early.

"Yeol... Do we have a problem?" She asked.

"Why ask?" I said.

"Well, I'm your girlfriend but you seem to be drifting away from me." She said which shocked me.

"Girlfriend? and you do realize we're both busy right?"

"I do realize that but you make time for your girlfriend Yeol. I do make time for you."

"I would... for my girlfriend... but the last time I checked I don't have one."

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" She seems baffled. I definitely did what I hope not to do. Mislead her.

"We were dating, yes. but in korea, dating doesn't necessarily mean they're together." I argued. No offense, I do like Chaeng but it's true we're still not together. Officially atleast.

"Well, In Australia Mr. Park Chanyeol, you go to dates with your girlfriend."

"We're in Korea." I argued.

"Nope. Nope. I'm in Korea, You are travelling the whole damn world enjoying yourself while I am here waiting for your texts, phone calls, messages!"

"I didn't tell you to" I said.

"Well damn right you didn't. Just like how you didn't tell me that we actually weren't actually together when you are all sweet and lovey-dovey with me."

"You know what, I don't want any distractions right now. I have a concert tomorrow."

"Of course, you have the concert you ever loved."

"Just shut it! Okay! Don't go sarcastic on me now. You know what? this is why I don't want any girlfriends! Fights! It always ends up with fights. Stupid, childish fights."

"You just said I'm not your girlfriend chanyeol."

"You know I didn't mean it like that! I mean we weren't official so you're not my girlfr-"

"Stop it! Of course you don't mean it like that. You are never wrong! I was the one who misunderstood! Right? Well... well Park Chanyeol... Whatever 'this is' that we actually have, it's over. Now you don't have a distraction"

"Chaeng i-" then she dropped the call.

Heck I hated this. I have so many things to say to her but I just couldn't say it. I just suck at saying what I feel and think. It's like everytime I do, it gives of a meaning I didn't mean to and will not end good. I messed up here. BIG TIME. I want to talk it out again but I know it'll create more conflict. I don't want that... I don't want her mad at me... but seems like she already is...

"whatever 'this is' that we actually have, it's over."

Isn't this what I always wanted? remove distractions? but why is my heart being tormented by the thought that... that... it's o-... it's over.
