"Do you still love me?"

"What?"

"I asked if you still love me, Soobin."

He looks down at the floor. I keep hoping he'll look up at me and tell me 'Of course I do', but with each passing second it was clear he didn't feel that way about me anymore.

I finally break the silence, "If that's your answer then I think we should break up."

━━━━━━━━━━━━

SOOBIN POV:

Bam. That's for Taehyung's stupid smug face.

Bam. That's for all the pressure I've been under lately.

Bam Bam. That's for not being able to say I love you back to Y/N.

"Woah easy tiger, one more hit and you're gonna break that thing!" Yeonjun scolds looking at the punching bag.

"Hold it for me then," I say wiping the sweat off my forehead.

"Or... we could talk about what happened last night."

"Hmm, not a chance."

"Soobin come on, we're best friends and practically brothers. Why are you holding back from me?"

I can sense him studying my every move now but I don't dare turn to meet his gaze.

After avoiding his question, Yeonjun sighs and gets up from where he was sitting.

"Fine don't tell me. I'm going to Roseanne's," he says walking away.

I turn around. "Roseanne's?"

"Yeah, to see Y/N," he closes the door behind him.

The hair on my arms instantly go up and I feel shivers traveling from my chest all the way down my spine. Hearing her name out loud causes my heart to churn and makes me feel sick to my stomach.

I think of my favorite place then take some deep breaths and count to ten. I'm instantly transported to my favorite coffee shop and I begin to feel my heart rate drop back down and the shakiness subsiding.

Y/N taught me that trick to use whenever I was nervous to perform and I've been using it ever since when I'm feeling anxious.

I leave the gym and get the shower started. I decide to check my phone for the first time this morning while the water is still heating up.

Lalisa: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??!!

Jisoo: Y/N isn't talking to us.... did something happen?

Taehyun: I'm here for you man.

Beomgyu: I'll be at the studio if you wanna talk.

I sigh and turn my phone off- I can't bring myself to deal with any of it right now. Maybe I'll try calling
Y/N afterwards.... maybe.

Y/N POV:

"Wait so tell us one more time what happened," Roseanne says shifting in her seat and leaning in closer.

My brother Yeonjun is over at Roseanne's,
and both of them want me to say everything that went down last night. At first I was hesitant because it's still raw in my mind, but I figured I should just let everything out. It's not healthy to keep it pent up inside.

"Alright so you know how I told you guys we faught before the party?"

They both nod.

"Right well I got so angry at him that I kinda told him I hated him..." my voice trails off.
