Stuck
A Reason to Live"You did what?" Seulgi exclaimed hearing what transpired on Wheein and Byul's date.
After the kiss, Wheein didn't even let Byul have the chance to explain herself, she obviously looked so disappointed- probably mad, even. She didn't even let Byul drive her home; she called Hyejin to pick her up instead.
Moonbyul sighed in frustration. "I know, okay?" she knows how badly she hurt Wheein. She shouldn't have kissed Wheein without making sure about her own feelings. She thought she was ready; she kissed Wheein before, but doing it in front of Yongsun's grave made her feel so uncomfortable. It's like she could feel Yongsun's eyes piercing through the back of her head. "I know I messed up."
Byul sighed, "She looked so happy before that. It was almost perfect."
"Why did you even pull away?" Seulgi questioned. She wanted Byul to explain it to her so she might understand.
Byul only sighed. She didn't think Seulgi would understand. She didn't regret kissing Wheein, she just regretted doing it at that moment. She wishes she didn't pull away, but the guilt in her chest was just too much for her to handle; she felt like she was cheating on Yongsun right in front of her.
But since she can't give her a reason, Seulgi knew her well enough to know exactly why. "Yongsun's gone, Byul. Don't feel guilty for having feelings for someone else. Stop torturing yourself. "
"Can't I be faithful to Yongsun even when she's gone?" Byul retorted. "Can't I continue loving her?" Byul's voice cracked before she could finish her sentence. She tries her best to stop herself from crying.
Byul looked so pained that Seulgi didn't have a comeback for her question. "I thought you like Wheein?" she asks instead.
Byul composes herself before she answers; her tears no longer threatening to fall from her eyes. She'd done it a million times that she's getting good at it. "I do like Wheein. A lot. But...maybe I like her because I'm sad. I kept thinking that maybe it's because I'm longing for Yongsun and she happens to be there, you know?" Byul confesses.
Seulgi sighs. "Do you really feel that way?" she asks, because maybe her mind is just thinking of excuses for herself.
"I don't know." Byul answers truthfully. Seulgi was about to speak but Byul continued, "I was so sure that Yongsun will be the only person I'd be capable of falling in love with." The memory of how Wheein asking Yongsun to tell her that she's allowed to love and be loved by someone else, played in her mind. "I don't know if I have it in me to love someone else like that again." she adds.
Seulgi was quiet for a moment, thinking of the right words to say. "You're not supposed to love them the same way, Byul. They're two different people, you can love them both equally in two different ways."
