I couldn't stop crying.

As soon as I had gotten home from school I had been crying.

And I couldn't stop.

"Beomie, stop" Kai tried.

But no matter how softly his fingers ran through my hair.

And no matter how relieved me being able to talk to Kai again always made me feel.

I couldn't stop crying.

Because his fingers didn't feel as good as yours.

And he didn't press his forehead to mine like you did.

"Yeonjun's the most mature out of all of us, I'm sure he'll be able to handle being rejected. Just give him time" Kai tried to reassure me.

"I guess" I spoke.

But I was still crying.

Because I was never crying about Yeonjun in the first place.

Because I knew the outcome of rejecting him.

I was ready to face it as soon as I had opened my mouth.

The reason I was still crying.

Was you.

In other words.

I was crying about you.

My blood ran cold at the mere thought of you.

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

Especially not now after I had seen you.

At school.

Wearing makeup.

Something you hated.

But it wasn't an assortment of product.

Just one.

Concealer.

Only around your eye.

Like you were trying to hide something.

Maybe a bruise.

I could only assume.

Someone had done that to you.

๑ Someone had hurt you. ๑
