STAR WIND FLOWER SUN

A Thousand Papercuts

Hyejin's POV

The first time we had a major misunderstanding I walked out on her, I guess karma really comes back around.

---Flashback---

"What happened unnie?" I caught up after Yongsun outside of Xiumin's restobar. I held her arm that made her stop in her tracks.

She looked at me like she's looking through a transparent glass. Her lips are trying to utter words that doesn't seem to come out.

"It's okay. . ." Wheein coaxed the dazed woman rubbing onto her shoulders to bring in some warmth. "Let's just take her home Hyejin." She turned to me.

"Okay." We took a cab home as I messaged Yooa that were done for the night. We bid each other goodnight's and goodbye's as we reached our homes and with Yongsun promising she'd tell us what happened tomorrow once she's much sober and thinking straight (*excuse the pun, 😏but y'know what I mean).

The following day I came to school late that I got reprimanded by the teacher. Hangover and exhaustion got the best of me so imagine my surprise when I found the low-alcohol tolerant Yongsun already in school after that night out. I bet she's feeling much more shitty than how I do but she's not showing it. I scanned the room, Wheein and Yooa were also present but I noted the absence of a certain person that should be seated beside the former.

Unfortunately, classes dragged slowly that morning and I've been dying to talk to about what happened last night. It was going so well and Wheein and I were having a good time until we had to rest for a while then BAAM!

Eventually, we had lunch break. I immediately dragged a whining Wheein to wait for Yongsun in the school gate as usual. Turns out she arrived faster than us and she's with Yooa. We stopped before we even reach the two but we were close enough to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Give her a chance to explain herself." Yooa pleads.

"But she's not here and if she really wants to explain herself, she'll do so, in person and not send someone to do it for her."

"She didn't send me to talk to you. She's just - " Yooa sighed, dropping her arms on either sides in frustration.

"What?! She was drunk? She's confused? Well, how about me?!" She paused as she try to get ahold of her emotions. "No. Im not having this talk with you." Yongsun dismissed as she walked passed Yooa.

We run to catch up to her.

"Unnie! Unnie!" Wheein called out as Yongsun stopped.

"Wait up." I shouted.

"Let go somewhere else to talk." She mutters to both of us.

So here we are at the RBW Cafe. I wasn't sure if it's deliberate cause she might be looking for Byul or it's just that Yongsun doesn't know of any place better. But Moonbyul is also not here. I glanced at Wheein. We just kept staring at each other, not wanting to be the one to break the silence and ask Yongsun.

"Moonbyul kissed me last night." It was so sudden coming from her that I and Wheein spit a bit of our drinks.

"Did- did she say why?" Wheein asks.

"No. Remember, we were all just dancing when she pulled me away then we ended up arguing about her wanting to take me home. She looked so mad and when I've asked her why. She . . .she just. . ." Yongsun gulps. "Then I slapped her then ran. I was shocked and I don't know. I don't get it." She covered her flustered face with both her hands.

"Im going to kill her." I stood up from my seat as the two women looked at me.

How dare that fucking idiot.
