| birthday girl [pt.2]
note: part 2 bcs i love dayeon and angst with no comfort
"where was she yesterday dayeon?" yujin asked the younger girl, leaning from the other side of the lacquer table, a worried expression on her small face. dayeon looked down on the table, hesitant as she didn't want to make the situation worse.
hikaru's eyebrows were creased, her lips in a deep frown as she was once again ready to scold the older girl of 1 year and wake her up from her delusions.
but a hand stopped her, chaehyun's eyes met hikaru, a silent warning to be a little bit careful with her actions because what they are dealing right now isn't something that could be solve by yelling or throwing out harsh words.
so hikaru scoffed and looked down, breathing heavily.
"you looked like you cried, a lot." yeseo noted, with an emphasis with a lot, because dayeon sure did look like she didn't have enough sleep nor had time to fix herself before she was visited by her friends.
"oh, don't worry, i just— i just lacked sleep that's all." dayeon brushed off the worries from the younger girl, but it looked like she wasn't convincing enough, because hell, her eyes are red and her face looked extremely tired and worn out.
why was she even crying in the first place?
oh, because y/n decided to go to other girl's birthday party wasn't it?
maybe it was.
dayeon fiddle with her finger, before hearing bahiyyih clear her throat and spoke. "uhm so where was y/n yesterday?" bahiyyih's voice was rather— hesitant, trying to pick the right words so it doesn't hurt dayeon much.
she was, after all the most patient one and caring.
"she was... somewhere, but she told me she was gonna be late and told me to sleep already." dayeon answered, hoping that it'll help avert the topic away from her and y/n, because she cannot afford admitting that y/n once again let her down for so many times.
"really? then why isn't she here yet?" hikaru asked, looking around the shared home, trying to find at least a sign of y/n inside.
but as hikaru said, she still wasn't home yet.
"o-oh i— i don't know." just as dayeon muttered the reply, the door opened and y/n appeared, her entrance must've thickened the tension, as she stood there staring at dayeon's friends.
"dayeon." she muttered, inaudible because it was a silent demand for her to stand up.
as dayeon stood up, the attention from y/n went all to dayeon who approached y/n while she takes off her coat and placed it on the rack.
dayeon stood there, stiffly, before y/n took a hold of her hand, held it tight and she was pulled away from the living room to the kitchen, where obviously, no one from the living room could probably hear them.
everyone's eyes watched as their friend gets taken to the kitchen.
"what? what is she doing?" youngeun muttered.
y/n lets go of dayeon's hand before turning towards her with stone-like expression, empty and no emotion was seen.
"why are they here?" y/n asked, looking towards the living room.
dayeon never understood why, why y/n never ever wanted to be seen by anyone not even her friends with her, because if they were dating why does it feel so illegal or wrong to be seen together?
at first, dayeon thought it was just because y/n never liked socializing, but how and why not even dayeon's or y/n's friends can see them together.
