"Do you believe in fate," she asked in a mere curiosity like a child, just to be mocked by the reply, "No, I believe in destiny."
Her hazel eyes dilated back and looked up when, the tall handsome boy talked after a moment, "Why do you try to force your morals within me," hearing these words, her heart clenched yet unable to mutter a single word. Before she could utter, he smiled and took a long break, "Forget the fragmented memories, don't let false hope get on your nerves," after a pause, "They never end well, Shin Won"
She was hurt, her pupils dilated more than ever screaming silently, don't leave me, left out at least not you, her mind hurled upon thoughts and explanations, yet none were said out loud. The words, she echoed were, "Very well, Kim Taehyung"
They both took their departure.
Hurt,
misunderstandings,
unsaid words,
moments yet to be fulfilled,
will they be left out and move on
or
they will have a new start, a start from truth and not lies
