It was just me, you and the stars.
"Why?" My voice cracked.
I had tried to hold it in.
All day.
Because I knew it wasn't my place.
To assume.
But I couldn't hold it in.
I loved you.
I couldn't stand seeing you like this.
Even if you didn't love me the same way.
Even if you loved floral dress and fruity perfume more.
"Gyu-"
"No, just tell me why he does it" I ordered.
I tried to sound stern.
But my voice was wavering.
Because you were hurt.
And that made me hurt.
"I-it's embarrassing" you said.
Fingers fidgeting.
Body stiffening.
Tension thickening.
"H-"
"I keep failing in maths, so-so he does it to punish me" you let out.
My heart sank.
Mind blank.
Even though you didn't want me to.
I touched you.
More specifically.
I hugged you.
Because I found it stupid.
Stupid that a parent could do such a thing.
But looking back on things.
I found it more stupid.
๑ That I had believed you. ๑
