Breaking Out // Gahmi

Eleven

Dami PoV

I waved goodbye to Gahyeon while Sua dragged me away. As soon as we left the library she looked at me amused.

"Tell me, why is it a thing that I'm always interrupting you flirting with Gahyeon?"'she raised her eyebrow.

"What? I wasn't flirting!" I wasn't flirting, right? I mean, why would I be flirting. Although Gahyeon is really pretty and kind of cute ....

"Sure, you weren't ... and wipe that stupid grin off your face."

I reached to my face, I didn't even realize I was smiling that much, but apparently I was.

"So now that you have your date with little booknerd safe are you finally ready to talk with Yoohyeon. I really don't understand how you two can even be friends." she said while hitting my neck.

"It's not a date!" I tried to defend myself. It wasn't a date right? I'm really confused right now. "Also you are literally the tiniest person I have ever met in my life!"

"Ya! I'm not tiny!" Sua yelled while trying to hit me. Luckily I managed to duck all her hits.

"okay, okay! Please don't kill me!" I surrendered, holding my hands up. Sua kept glaring at me, but stopped trying to hit me, soI considered it a success.

Slowly we made our way towards the cafeteria and towards Yoohyeon. She was sitting at our usual table, all alone, eating her lunch.

"Hey!" both Sua and I waved at her, taking out our own lunch.

"I wanted to go to the library real quick, but it took a little bit longer!" I apologised.

"Yeah, Sua texted me. It's fine." Yoohyeon smiled at me. She is pretty much the most forgiving person ever.

"Soooo...." Sua said, awkwardly stretching the word. "How was your weekend?"

"Fine." both Yoo and I answered in unison.

"Alright! Should we recap what happened at the party then. Because a lot of stuff happened." Sua suggested. When she was met with silence, she continued. "I guess I'll start. I think it works the best anyway. Dami, you truly missed a lot!"

"I thought so. But you were both gone all of a sudden. I tried searching for you, but I panicked." I admitted.

"I'm so, so sorry, Yubin. I - I didn't want to leave you behind, I promise. And I knew you would panik as soon we lost each other. But I was just so eager to get a glimpse of the party life and I really thought you were behind us, but then you were gone. As soon as I realised you were gone, we searched everywhere for you, but we couldn't find you. I was so worried. So when we stumbled into a room where Handong and her girls were, coincidentally, we asked them if they saw you. And of course they pretended and claimed they knew where you went. We were so pathetic to believe them, but they played us. If we would have just kept searching we would have probably found you sooner. I'm so sorry, you had to go through this alone. I know how you react to big crowds. I should have taken better care of you. You're my best friend, for god's sake!" she rambled, crying slightly. She let everything out she had probably bottled up for the whole weekend, thinking that I was mad at her.

"Yeah, at that point,I think I should apologise too. I shouldn't have pushed either of you. I didn't know about your anxiety, Dami, and I played Yoohyeon panicking down. I really should have taken it more seriously. But I know now and I will be more considered." Sua apologised as well.

"It's fine." I assured. I knew I had no right to be mad at them. It is not their job to take care of me nor to know about how fucked up I am. It's not their condition after all, it's mine. And I'm the one who needs to learn how to deal with it. "As soon as I lost you, I panicked. Luckily it wasn't that bad in the first place, but it was still scary. There were so many people and I didn't know the place at all, everything was so unfamiliar and loud. It was almost suffocating."
