Script 14: Slowly breaking

But Kazuha was looking at her with concern and she knew immediately that this was a serious moment.

She clears her throat and her smile slowly fades from her lips, "I'm not- you know, it's hard to answer that when..." she sighs.

It's really not a hard question. It was a simple yes or no question and Yunjin couldn't even answer it.

Probably because she didn't want to answer no. She didn't want to say no out of pity. Kazuha was already looking at her with those pitying eyes and Yunjin hated it.

She didn't need pity. That was the last thing she wanted from her friends.

If Chaewon doesn't want to do anything with her, that is fine. If Chaewon doesn't want to be her friend, that's totally fine!

And yet it would always leave a bitter taste in Yunjin's mouth.

"Maybe not." She finally mumbles, looking far ahead. Refusing to look at Kazuha. Refusing to see Kazuha's concerned expression.

"Don't look at me like that." Yunjin warns, "Don't you dare look at me like that, Zuha."

Her bottom lip quivered and Kazuha sighed.

"I'm just worried about you."

"I'm perfectly fine, Zuha." Yunjin sternly said.

"Are you really, Yun? You haven't been yourself ever since you came back! You're not even aware of how much you changed!"

"I never changed."

"Yes you did, it's so obvious!"

"What the fuck are you even saying-"

"You barely tell us anything anymore. Sure, you joke around like you always do, you're still loud and hyper but you lost every other thing that completes you!"

"What the fuck do you even know, Kazuha??"

Kazuha ignored the words Yunjin was saying and kept talking, "You stopped picking up the pen, you stopped writing, you stopped making art. You only do it when you have to and-"

"Just fucking drop it, okay!?"

Kazuha shuts her mouth and stares at Yunjin with a frown as the redhead avoids her gaze.

Jaw clenched, she breathes deeply through her nose. "Just drop it."

"You're so stubborn. You never listen to me anymore." Kazuha scoffs, "You never- God! You never think rationally anymore! And all of this for what? For some girl who fucking hates you??"

Yunjin's hands closed into fists, tighter than when she did last night. She closes her eyes and tries to shut Kazuha out.

But her best friend's words were piercing through her ears like a knife, invading her thoughts, infiltrating her mind.

Because deep down, she knew Kazuha was right.

"She's just a girl, Yunjin."

And Yunjin's eyes snap open, turning her head towards Kazuha with a look of disbelief.

"You know damn well that she's not."

"We both fucking know that she is. She's just a girl, Yunjin." Kazuha pushes further.

"You fucking know she's not." Yunjin sneers, "If it weren't for her I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't have chosen this god-forsaken academy. Hell, we wouldn't even be friends if it weren't for her!"

Yunjin was standing up now and Kazuha stared up at her with those concerned and pity-filled eyes.

And God did it hit a fucking nerve in Yunjin.
