Chapter 6
"Come on, let's play." Yuqi said, already pulling Shuhua up, but the girl didn't budge, as she had her earphones on, listening to mamamoo's good night and other songs that only drove knives into her heart, but she listened to those anyway, as she shook her head, Yuqi frowning as she saw a single tear fall from the girl's eyes.
"I'm not really in the mood today, Wooks." Shuhua said, as Yuqi sighed, then sitting down next to the girl who had her eyes covered, the older already knowing that the maknae was crying.
"Do you want a hug? I'm fairly good at hugs." Yuqi said, Shuhua nodding at that.
"Yes, please." Shuhua uttered, her voice cracking at the end as Yuqi pulled her close, hugging her tight and caressing her back, trying to stop her from crying.
"I'm here. I'm always here for you, Shu." Yuqi said, the younger nodding at that as she let her tears out.
"What... What if she finds someone else? I'm easily replaceable, Wooks--"
"You're not easily replaceable, alright? Don't think of that. Soojin unnie won't find someone else; she's too in love with you to even find someone else that could replace you, you know?" Yuqi said, as Shuhua only sighed at that, still having tears falling from her eyes, unable to stop them.
"It's okay to cry, alright? You have to let it all out." Yuqi said, Shuhua nodding at that.
"I... I really want to talk to her..." Shuhua said, Yuqi nodding at that.
"Shu..." Yuqi said, Shuhua nodding at that.
"I know... They told you to not let me talk to her, right? To withhold me from using my phone and such. I'm in a prison where I can do anything I want except the one thing I want the most, which is to talk to her." Shuhua said, tears rushing out even more, gritting her teeth and crying onto the shoulder of her bestfriend, who only patted her back.
"You'll get to see her soon, Shu." Yuqi said, whispering onto the girl as she slowly calmed down, letting the music calm her.
So why don't we fall in love tonight
'Cause everything else just feels so right
And now I just want to hold you tight
So why don't we just fall
Hearts are beating
The night is fleeting
There's no denying
Puhon, puhon
(author's note: the song is fall by ben & ben)
Shuhua smiled for the first time in days, Yuqi's tears falling because of that, as she smiled, patting the girl's head.
I'll see you soon, puhon.
