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
