Romanticized Realities & Realistic Dreams
Its not always just the right love at the right time. People forget you gotta have the right circumstances, too.
Here comes the pain, a couple of months later. “You know, we could take a break instead of stressing ourselves even more.” It was bound to happen, isn’t it?Sooyoung thought, convincing herself that she’s sure Changmin had thought of this too but didn’t want to hurt her. Sooyoung never wanted to hurt him either, but lately its what had been happening. Unintentionally, yes, but it wasn’t all that inevitable, too.
Sooyoung didn’t want to break up. But if Changmin was tired of all these conflicts then she’d give him what he wanted instead of keeping what she needed herself. “I guess you’re right.” He answered, head hung low, voice a little softer and huskier than usual. Changmin lift her face up by the chin and wiped Sooyoung’s tears even before they fell past those rosy cheeks.
“I wouldn’t do this if I was selfish, you know that. And-“
“You don’t have to explain yourself, of course, I understand. I just- I never prepared myself for this. I thought I was stronger than this. We- I thought we could get over these things together.”
“I’m sorry.” Soft sobs made her voice quite inaudible. “For not being strong enough. I shouldn’t be crying.”
“Sooyoung, crying doesn’t make you weak. Refusing to let this go does. Maybe-”
“In due time, do you think we can make it?”
He smiled, ruffling the tall girl’s hair a mess.
Sooyoung hugged Changmin and he waited until she was able to stop her tears. He breathed heavily as she leaned away, “Call me when you get home. Hm?”
