Eunji

"Baekhyun?" Eunji turned to look at her boyfriend as he stood by the register.

"Mhm?" He answered, turning his head to look at her with the most beautiful eyes.

The way he looked at her made her feel so unworthy. Baekhyun looked at Eunji as if she held the Earth, moon, Sun, and stars within her. He looked at her with such unadulterated adoration that lit up his eyes like the skyline of Seoul. Despite this, Eunji only felt self loathing when he looked at her. She secretly loved that look in his eyes, but she knew she could never return it. She could never look at him with that same gleam in her eyes, nor could she return the feelings that rested in that gleam.

"Thank you for telling me you were going to see him," Baekhyun whispered.

"Of course." Eunji smiled softly, though her heart hurt as Baekhyun stared at her with that unbearable look in his eyes.
