US: Kim Yugyeom X Reader [DISCONTINUED]

16 | Showcase (2) ~ 14.05.16

Saturday morning comes as the bright sun rises at dawn. Still fast asleep in bed from crying all night, someone repeatedly knocks on the front door.

"Eomma-nim." Yugyeom says, trying to catch his breath and politely bowing, still in his outfit from the showcase.

"Why are you here so early Yugyeom ah? And why are you in a blue suit? ... Anyways, she's upstairs still sleeping."

My mum lets him in, not knowing about what happened yesterday. Confused, he takes the opportunity to come inside. He dashes up the stairs and arrives at my bedroom door.

All of a sudden, I shoot awake at the sound of banging and shouting for my name.

"JIA! JIA OPEN THE DOOR!"

Still sleepy, I can't make out who's at the door.

"Aishhh, I'm coming! Gosh!" I shout back, begrudgingly dragging myself out of bed.

Who the flip is banging at my door at 6 o'clock in the morning?!

I open the door in complete shock upon seeing who's at my door. As soon as I open the door, Yugyeom tries to talk but I just don't want to hear it.

"Jia I-." He says with a pleading look in his eyes.

I shut the door immediately, not allowing him to finish his sentence.

"Jia PLEASE!" He shouts, pounding at the door as I slide down it with all the memories of yesterday flooding my mind again.

"Yugyeom, I don't want to hear it! Please just go!" I say with my head against the door.

"Jia let me explain! Please!"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! Do you know how hard it's been for me these past two months?!"

"Jia just open the door so we can talk."

"I don't want to look at you."

"Please." He says with desperation in his voice.

"Yugyeom you know what? All I did these past two months was go to school, rehearse and come home everyday to hear my parents arguing and fighting. The only time I would ever see you, is when you were with her. Do you know how hard it was, watching you two everyday, looking more like a couple than we do?"

"..."

"What? Now you have nothing to say?"

"..."

"Every time I wanted to be with you, you were with her. I know you were rehearsing but don't think that I don't know about you two meeting up on other days. You would never ask about my day anymore, never ask how school was going, never ask how things were with my parents. All you cared about was that stupid duet with her."

"..."

I wait for a moment to see if he'll respond or show any sign that he's listening. When he doesn't, I carry on my rant.

"Seriously? You say you want to talk and let you explain, yet you have nothing to say? ... Yugyeom, I really tried to be strong in front of you these past two months. Seeing you and her every single day, plus everything with my parents, plus all the stress from school, all I wanted was to be with you. Even for just a day. But no. 'You didn't have time' you said. Yet you had all the time to be with her. I'm just done with it."

"Jia I didn't know..."

"You didn't know what? That she liked you? That my parents are on the verge of getting a divorce? Or that I wanted to be with you?"

"All of it..."

"That's my point. You were too occupied with her to even care! Did you know that you were the only person who didn't realise that she likes you? Everyone else could see it but you."

"I'm sorry Jia."

"For what? If I didn't tell you all this, you wouldn't even have anything to be sorry about. So what exactly are you sorry for?"

"..."

"You know what she said to me Yugyeom? She told me that you were already falling for her...and that you won't be mine for much longer. I didn't want to believe her but I guess now it's true."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Answer this one question for me Yugyeom-ssi (polite way to refer to someone)."

"Anything Jia. Anything."

"Don't think that I didn't realise that you're still in your outfit from yesterday..."

"..."

"Did you spend the night with her?"

"..."

Realising what he's done, his body becomes weak and he drops to the floor, hitting his head against the door out of anger at himself.

Knowing the answer, I can't hold my tears in any longer. I cry silently for a few seconds before getting myself together.

I grab a backpack and collect all his clothes and other little things he's left in my room. I take a deep breath, trying to give myself some courage to do what I'm about to do.

"I would have preferred it...if you had lied to me instead..." I say while holding onto the doorknob.

I slowly open the door, to his surprise, as he suddenly gets up. He turns around and I look into his eyes, trying to give myself a reason to  stay with him and run into his arms.

But I just can't find one.

My eyes are red and puffy from all the crying. I throw the bag next to his feet, not having anymore energy, and wipe the tears off my face.

"I'm done, Yugyeom...We're done."

I tried not to cry while writing this but I'm a crybaby so 🤷🏻‍♀️
