[🌧️]
Rain blanketed the entire city one afternoon. Of course, with the heavy downfall, it would be a hassle to go out and do whatever duty there is to be done for people. Well, not for Y/N apparently.
She has been in the hot shower for almost an hour, pampering herself with all those fragrant soap and shampoo, shaving her body hairs, and generally getting ready for yet another night out with her friend, Ria.
Where's Taehyun you may ask? He's in the living room, dusting the couch. He just had lunch alone- since Y/N refused to eat again. He knew Y/N would be out to town once more. So, he figured out ways to entertain himself while she'd be gone and that's cleaning.
"Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment. I'd let you had I known it. Why don't you say so." Y/N sang as she got out.
A towel was wrapped around her bare torso, making her look like a burrito. She swayed her hips, slipping into a little red dress Ria had bought her yesterday. She looked pretty satisfied with herself.
"Didn't even notice. No punches left to roll with. You got to keep me focused, you want it say so."
Y/N strutted to the vanity mirror. Plopping to a chair, she pulled out her tons of makeup. Even though her vision was blurry- thanks to the absence of her glasses, she could still see her reflection looking dazzling. Before she could start painting herself, she rummaged through her drawer for her contacts.
"Where the f-" She fussed. "Where is it? Taehyun? Can you come here for a sec?"
She heard feet shuffling before the door to their bedroom swung open. Taehyun poked his head in with a cute little smile. Y/N smiled back.
"Hey, darling!" He got in. "What's the matter?"
"I think I lost my contacts.." Y/N mumbled confusingly. "Have you seen them by chance?"
"Mm?"
Taehyun marched to her. Crouching down, he helped looking for her accessories for a wee moment. Y/N kept muttering in her breath, panic hinted in her voice.
"I can't go out without it.." Y/N clicked her tongue. "It's not even in my purse.."
Suddenly, Taehyun gasped.
"Where did you last put it?"
"Somewhere here," she gestured at the entire drawer. "Either inside or on top of the surface."
"Err.."
"Hmm?" She looked at him. "What is it?"
"I was cleaning earlier and I happened to clear away some trash in our room. I.. Well, I might have thrown it away.."
"..come again?"
"What's.. What's the container like..?"
Y/N's soft gaze turned to a glare. "Small pair of round plastics. White."
"Yeah.." Taehyun scratched his head. "I did throw it.."
"Why would you?!"
Y/N got up, making her chair tumble to the floor. Taehyun frantically straightened up, knowing he had ticked her off. He backed away a bit, hands up in defense.
"I'm sorry!" He voiced. "I.. I thought it was empty, Y/N!"
"Well, you could have asked before you put your hands through my stuffs!"
"I tried calling you but.. But you were in the shower.. You couldn't hear me.."
"You know what?" Y/N curled her fists. "You're annoying as fuck!"
"Please, don't yell.."
"I wouldn't have yell if I don't live in a house with a stupid person! Oh, wait. You're not even a person!"
He teared up. "Y/N.. Please don't say that.."
"You don't even know how much it costed me! Now I have to buy a new one, thanks!"
"I'm.. I'm very sorry.."
"Forget it! I don't even want to talk to you!"
"Y/N.."
Taehyun took a brave step forward and pulled her into a tight embrace. Upon the action, Y/N froze. Taehyun's arms were wrapped around her, warm, cozy, as if he was telling her not to go. She could hear him sniffle. His body was shaking. His tears were starting to fall onto Y/N's skin. He was incredibly hurt. For days, probably weeks, all he wanted was to be with her again. No, he didn't want to steal her happiness but he sure did miss the times they once had together.
"I'm really sorry, Y/N.." He breathed. "Please, don't be mad at me.. I don't want you to be mad at me.."
"You lost my contacts, Taehyun."
"I didn't mean to do it.. I promise.."
"How am I supposed to go with Ria now that I don't have it? Huh?"
"Stay here.." He begged. "Just for tonight.. We can.. We can cuddle up the couch.. We can watch a movie.. Please, don't leave the house yet.. I need you, Y/N.."
"Ria and I have plans today." Y/N broke the hug. "You could've told me that you wanted to hang out tonight then I would've moved our girl's night. But you didn't and it's my fault you're gonna be alone again."
"Do you really have to go out everyday..? What about me, Y/N..? Are you just going to leave me here every time you're out to have fun..?"
"For God's sake, Taehyun!" She roughly pushed her hair back. "Just when I'm starting to have fun and make friends, you're going to pull up that sad boy card on me?! Don't think I owe you a lot just because you were there when I was lonely!"
"Darling-"
"If you can't handle a bad bitch then leave! Is that hard?!"
"I can't leave you.." He cried, holding her hands. "I have nowhere else to go.. You're the only one that I have.. I can't love somebody else.."
"Then too bad you gotta put up for it!"
"Please, calm down.."
"Calm down, calm down- ah, fuck off!" She yelled. "You ruined my day! Shit, I haven't even started it. Thanks a lot!"
She pulled her hands back in annoyance. Grabbing her purse, she angrily headed out the room. Taehyun fell on his knees. He could hear his heart shattering in a million pieces. His tears found a new place on the carpet. Boy, they were flowing nonstop as he trembled.
"What happened to you.." He whispered. "What happened to you, Y/N.."
He hated to admit but he wasn't glad about this sudden turn of the tables anymore. At first he thought he could bear the fact that Y/N was just trying to find herself. But now he was convinced that she lost herself instead.
"This isn't you.. I want you back.. The old you back.."
Yeah, he would rather have the old, vintage-obsessed Y/N, stuck in her granny clothes, blabbering about classic things, and one to spend the whole day him. Not this new chick who squeezes through tight apparels, bakes her face with colors, and wanders around the city with her friend daily.
If he wanted to turn back the time, he might as well try to talk her out. Despite of his girl being so hard-headed these days.
"Y/N..?" He scrambled to his feet. "Y/N.."
Taehyun rushed to the living room in hopes to see her but she wasn't there. When he turned to the door, he caught her figure leaving.
"Y/N!"
BLAG!
The door slammed shut. He was left alone again.
