the afternoon passed by with no jinsol being seen tailing onto jungeun, much to her worry and-or dismay.

the girl was packing her things and was about to go home when she suddenly wonders for jinsol's well-being, ​​​​​​what if she ignores her? what if she broke her? what if she was the cause for someone to feel torn? she didn't want to be that kind of person, the feeling of guilt swarm all over her body, overthinking her actions from what she really did and thought what consequences would be for her, she wondered if those consequences would make an impact on her life or was it only going to be like a bruise from tripping that will eventually heal until any evidence of it was gone.

at some point, she had composed herself, keeping in head that these things were normal and a part of life, jungeun found relief in her own words, life is only as good as your mindset, she reminded.

she grabbed her phone, about to text jiwoo her whereabouts when an unread message was patiently laying on her screen, a notification from jinsol

  you're not!! pls don't think that :<  
  ur such a great person, don't doubt that  
  ik it's hard opening up to ppl, 
  so take ur time, no need to rush.  

  ..and no, i'm not comforting u only bcuz i like you  
  also, i'm still sorry for earlier btw  

her lips curled upwards from the sensation —that she narrate is relief— in her chest,

jungeun admits, this is the most sensible thing the girl has ever said to her, and the longest since jinsol has only ever text her for lame, used pick-up lines. maybe she liked this better. platonically, if she may add.

should she reply? she thought she should at least thank her, right? but was a mere 'thanks' fine? the junior will never sit out with only that. 

should i write a paragraph?

  ok i still may not have luck on this  
  especially bc haseul's the one who told me to do it  
  but are you free right now?   

​​​​​  or ykw it could be some other time  
 

haseul smacked the film student hard on the forearm, "the heck sol, stop being a coward!"

"i'm being considerate, what if she's still mad at me," jinsol rubbed the spot where it stung still

"what if," the brunette stressed, crossing her arms while she waits for the girl's next decision

they sat at a table outside the building, that's where they usually wait for each other: her, haseul, and sooyoung. and right now, they were waiting for the latter, she's always been the last one to finish out of three of them, on wednesdays and fridays, that is

  hey, yeah sure I don't have any plans  
  i'll tell jiwoo i'll be out  
  this is for earlier anyway  

jeong jinsol
  i hope you know ur not obligated to do this..  
  dont you?  
  just for that purpose  

kim jungeun
  oh  

"why are my friends so dumb," haseul raised her arms, asking the heavens

"just because you're already in a relationship doesn't mean you're smarter,"

haseul gasped, "hey i was the one who asked her out,"

"yeah, right after she nearly gave up on you," she mockingly whispered, obvious to the fact that haseul could hear it

but the shorter girl easily shrugged it off her shoulders, much to jinsol's loss, "at least i'm not crying, i take that as a win,"

or haseul's just really good at hiding because she's been grinding her teeth so hard to fight herself from smacking the out of her best friend
