Surprisingly, Seorin had gotten out of bed the next day and decided to go to school, aware that her grades would suffer.
It was almost unbearable, dealing with the darkness that encased her as she went about her normal schedule. Even if there were people all around her, how could she feel so alone?
It was starting to worry everyone, especially her friends that watched helplessly, pitying the devoid soul that was once livelier than all of them.
Even if she attended her classes, the information wouldn't retain, leaving her sitting in her thoughts as she drowned in them slowly, torturing her with no end. Every waking moment of hers was haunting, terrorizing her brain. She couldn't help but feel stupid for letting someone like him affect her so badly.
She couldn't help but feel stupid for supposedly falling for someone like him.
It was anger, feeling like she betrayed her own self for allowing him to get close, for choosing to get close.
It was denial, not wanting to come to terms with the golden swirls that once brightened her pitch irises, making the world look vibrant around her.
It was guilt, inviting him to a party she didn't even want to go to and now she was unable to even see his face.
It was her fear of the unknown, having absolutely no idea how he's doing right now.
Was he being punished? Did he not get punished at all?
Was he going to another school, or even training earlier than expected?
Was he okay at all?
Yet no matter how much she wished for him to be okay, the greed in her couldn't help her from wanting him to not be okay without her.
Seorin was breaking down at a teasing rate, intensifying the torture she was going through. The world turned gray, yet she couldn't focus on anything else but the colorless details surrounding her.
The trees have almost shedded all of their leaves, leaving their skeletons out for the cold in the autumn air. The grass was dying, turning ab unpleasant shade of green. Black crows nipped at anything they could scavenge, starving at the lack of their resources.
Nevertheless, this wasn't the world she was living in before- not before Jisung showed her all the colors she could ever imagine.
And on her walks back home all she could do was put one foot in front of the other, dreading to find herself back in the bed she hadn't made in weeks.
She laid there, feeling lifeless yet still breathing.
In the same outdoor clothes she didn't bother changing out of, settling in her misery.
In all honesty, she couldn't help but just feel dramatic, considering her and Jisung didn't know each other for a while.
