callow
soulmatesjinri, in her entirety, had no visible scar, she was beautiful and her smiles always reached her eyes and she smelled like strawberries and the sun graced her with kisses and the moon bowed to her feet. but jinri, in her entirety, was incredibly lonely; she felt it every day she walked to school, and every time a crowd engulfed her. she felt it in the silent kitchen where she eats her breakfast every morning, and in the one word replies from her parents.
so she kisses soojung,
because she doesn't want to feel lonely anymore.
she makes them walk together everyday to and from school (even though soojung has a car) and doesn't bother to pull herself away from the girl even after the bell has rung. she makes soojung breakfast here and there (only cereal, but soojung never complains) and falls asleep texting her.
soojung kisses jinri with love - absolute and complete love, but jinri only plants chaste kisses on soojung's warm lips.
jinri didnt know if she loved soojung; she didn't know what love was, all she knows is that soojung makes her feel a bit less lonelier than she used to feel without her.
a year has passed and soojung can't help but feel like their relationship has been on a loop - never changing and always constant. no further effort was made on jinri's part, no three lettered words were ever exchanged.
at night jinri feels her loneliness return. she tries to drown out the feeling by texting soojung but it doesn't work.
the emptiness weighs her down.
at her lowest lows, jinri feels torn apart.
so she lets soojung's slender hands brush up her thigh, and allows her hot whispers to fill in hope that it'll piece her back together.
little did jinri know that this was not a fairytale, and soojung would not come to her rescue donned in armor.
