summary: moving on hurts, especially when you don't know what you're moving on from.

a/n: everyting below the dash is a flashback
title from nirvana's lithium

She sees her on her way to university. Mina is wrapped in a long coat, hair down her shoulders, a scarf around her neck. Chaeyoung looks away. She hates herself for recognizing the girl’s silhouette despite being far behind her.

She walks slower, afraid that she might catch up and they’d meet at the entrance. She’s not ready yet. She’ll never be.

Chaeyoung unconsciously turns the volume up, letting the music replace the deafening silence that’s been surrounding her —every other sound is nothing but a white noise for her.

She doesn’t really know what happened, what went wrong. She asked questions that Mina didn’t want to answer, or didn’t have the answers to. She tried to hang on to whatever was left from their relationship, but Mina seemed to have already moved on.

Mina, what’s wrong?

I’m sorry.

No, no! Don’t be! Just what happened?

I don’t know. I’m sorry.

You’ve been cold, and I don’t know, nothing feels the same.

I’m sorry.

Do you need time?

Uh..yes. I’m sorry.

Will you come back?

I’m sorry..

Mina, I’ll wait for you.<
