The Next Day: Feeling Guilty

Y/N POV

As I woke up the next day, taking a moment before I had to step back into the role of Mya. My reflection in the mirror revealed the remnants of the previous night's escapade—makeup still smudged, hair tousled, and unmistakable hickeys adorning my neck. Those guys really went all in yesterday. 

Sipping on my hot coffee, I leaned against the kitchen counter, enjoying the quiet morning and the view outside my window. The city stirred to life below, with cars bustling along the streets and people going about their daily routines. Despite the chaos of the world outside, there was a sense of peace within the confines of my apartment. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me, comforting me like a warm embrace. As I gazed out at the cityscape, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the moments of tranquility amidst the chaos of life.

As I finally could rest someone knocked on the door. I rubbed my eyes, hoping I was just imagining the knock on the door, but it persisted. With a sigh, I dragged myself to the door, not expecting to see my brother and his family standing there, all bright smiles and flower bouquets.

"Auntie Y/n!" Sara's voice rang out as she bounded towards me, her arms outstretched.

I couldn't help but smile as I lifted her into my arms, feeling the warmth of her embrace. Behind her, my brother stood with his fiancée, their youngest cradled in her arms and the oldest lingering shyly behind.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked, trying to mask my surprise as I looked at them, especially my brother.

"We just wanted to check on you after yesterday," he said, his tone gentle yet concerned.

As I stepped aside, allowing my brother and his family to enter, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions swirling within me. Sara's infectious energy filled the room as she bounced around, her excitement palpable. Meanwhile, my brother's words hung in the air, a reminder of the events of yesterday that I was trying to put behind me.

Taking a deep breath, I plastered on a smile, trying to push aside the discomfort that lingered within me. "Come on in," I said, gesturing toward the living room where they could make themselves comfortable.

As they settled in, my brother approached me, the bouquet of flowers held out as a peace offering. "I wanted to forgive you," he repeated, his voice tinged with sincerity.

I accepted the flowers with a nod, grateful for the gesture despite the weight of his words. "Thank you," I murmured, unsure of what else to say. It was a start, I supposed, a step toward reconciliation.

With Sara still clinging to me, her laughter filling the room, I led my brother and his family into the living room, hoping that perhaps today could be a day of healing and forgiveness amidst the chaos of yesterday's events.

Admitting my own faults felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. "I'm sorry too," I confessed, a sense of relief washing over me. "I was still a bit drunk yesterday."

My brother's expression softened, understanding flickering in his eyes. "It's okay," he replied, his tone gentle. "We all make mistakes."

"Well, enough with that," I said, trying to lighten the mood. "I can't believe you guys came all the way just to see me."

My brother chuckled, his fiance smiling warmly. "Of course we did," he replied. "Family's important, you know?"

His fiancée then said "Also Sara talked about you; she missed you,'" she said, smiling warmly as she spoke.

"That's sweet," I replied, touched by Sara's affection. "I miss her too."

As Sara eagerly chattered away, filling the room with her infectious energy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and belonging. Despite the challenges I faced, having my family by my side made everything feel a little brighter.


KUROO POV

I sat in my apartment, staring at the ceiling, my mind drifting back to the events of the previous night. I couldn't shake off the whirlwind of emotions that had consumed me.

My feelings for Y/N had always been complicated. From the moment I met her, I felt a connection, but circumstances never seemed to align. And now, after what had transpired with Semi, everything felt even more tangled.

I couldn't deny the allure of our intimacy, the way Y/N's touch ignited a fire within me. But as I replayed our encounter in my mind, a sense of unease settled over me. I never wanted things to go this far, not like this.

Sighing heavily, I ran a hand through my hair, trying to make sense of it all. Despite the intensity of our moment together, I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that lingered within me. I knew I had to talk to Y/N, to clear the air and figure out where we stood.

But as I reached for my phone, a wave of uncertainty washed over me. What if I had already crossed a line that couldn't be undone? What if our friendship was irreparably damaged?

Lost in my thoughts, I realized that I had no easy answers. All I could do was face the truth, whatever it may be, and hope that Y/N would understand.

As I lounged in my apartment, the peacefulness around me starkly contrasted with the turmoil within. Despite the temporary reprieve from stress, I couldn't shake the nagging sensation that something significant had shifted between us.

It was impossible to deny the palpable connection between Y/N, Semi, and myself. Our interactions had always been charged with unspoken tension, and yesterday had brought those simmering emotions to the surface with undeniable intensity.

I couldn't help but wonder if Semi harbored the same feelings for Y/N as I did. The thought gnawed at me, stirring a potent mix of jealousy and uncertainty. Despite our camaraderie, there was an unspoken rivalry lingering between us, a silent competition for Y/N's affection.

Lost in my contemplations, I found myself grappling with conflicting emotions. On one hand, I cherished our friendship and the bond we shared. On the other, the allure of Y/N's presence was undeniable, drawing me closer with each passing moment.

In the midst of my internal turmoil, one thing remained clear: the complexities of our relationship would require careful navigation. As I pondered the path ahead, I couldn't shake the feeling that our interactions were far from over, and that the coming days would bring their own set of challenges and revelations.'

As I approached the living room, the rhythmic knock on my door echoed through the quiet apartment, shattering the stillness of the afternoon. With each step, a sense of anticipation gnawed at my insides, mingled with a tinge of apprehension.

Upon reaching the door, I hesitated for a moment, my hand hovering over the doorknob. What awaited me on the other side was a mystery, a puzzle waiting to be unraveled. Steeling myself, I turned the knob and pulled the door open, revealing Semi standing on the threshold.

His disheveled appearance caught me off guard, his hair tousled and his expression tense. Before I could utter a word of greeting, he barged into my apartment with an urgency that left me reeling.

"Hey, Semi, what's going on?" I asked, my voice laced with concern as he pushed past me, his demeanor uncharacteristically brusque.

"You know what we did to Y/N," he began, his voice tinged with a mixture of frustration and concern. "Don't you think it was too much?"

His question lingered in the air, casting a shadow over the room as I struggled to find the right words to respond. Caught off guard by his sudden intrusion and the weight of his inquiry, I took a step back, allowing him to enter fully as I grappled with the implications of his words.

As Semi's gaze bore into mine, I could sense the weight of his guilt and uncertainty, mirrored by my own swirling emotions. In that moment, it became clear that our actions had consequences, and that the repercussions of our impulsive decisions would not easily be forgotten.

Caught off guard by Semi's sudden accusation, I felt a surge of defensiveness rising within me. His words struck a nerve, prompting a reflexive response tinged with frustration.

"Well, you started it," I retorted, my tone edged with a hint of defiance. Despite my attempt to assert myself, there lingered an undercurrent of uncertainty beneath my outward bravado.

Semi's expression shifted, his features contorting with a mix of disbelief and irritation.

"Don't try to pin this on me," he shot back, his voice laced with accusation. "We both know you were just as involved."

I bristled at his accusation, my resolve faltering under the weight of his words. "I never said I wasn't," I countered, my voice betraying a hint of exasperation. "But that doesn't change the fact that you were right there with me."

Semi's question hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over our conversation. As we settled into our seats, I could feel the weight of his words pressing down on me, each syllable laden with uncertainty.

"Do you think Y/n will forgive us?" he asked, his voice tinged with apprehension. "Do you think she hates us now?"

I paused, contemplating his words for a moment before offering a hesitant response. "I'm not sure," I admitted, running a hand through my hair in a gesture of frustration. "I mean, we were all a bit... out of it last night."

Semi nodded in agreement, a rueful expression crossing his features. "Yeah, definitely," he conceded, his tone tinged with regret. "I guess we got a little carried away."


SEMI POV

As the first light of dawn crept through the curtains, I found myself tossing and turning, unable to shake the events of the previous night from my mind. Y/n's face haunted my thoughts, her expression a mix of confusion and discomfort etched into my memory.

Feeling the weight of a sleepless night settling upon me, I dragged myself out of bed and stumbled towards the bathroom. The harsh light of morning illuminated the evidence of our recklessness - my hair was a disheveled mess, and a series of hickeys adorned my neck like a mark of shame.

Grimacing at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. How had things spiraled out of control so quickly? I never intended for things to escalate the way they did, yet here I was, grappling with the aftermath of our impulsive actions.

As I splashed cold water on my face, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at me. Would Y/n ever be able to look past what happened? Would she forgive us for our foolishness, or would our friendship be irreparably damaged?

With a heavy heart, I dried my face and resolved to face the consequences of my actions head-on. Whatever lay ahead, I knew I couldn't hide from the truth any longer.

Sipping my coffee, I couldn't shake the realization that my feelings for Y/n ran deeper than I had ever anticipated. In the haze of nostalgia and longing, memories flooded my mind, transporting me back to our high school days.

Y/n had always been a captivating presence, her intelligence and charm drawing others to her effortlessly. I remembered the way she laughed, a melody that echoed through crowded hallways and quiet classrooms alike, brightening even the dullest of days.

Back then, I had admired her from afar, content to watch her from a distance and marvel at her radiance. But now, with her back in my life, those dormant feelings had reawakened with a force I hadn't anticipated.

It was as if time had stood still, freezing us in a moment suspended between past and present. Despite the years that had passed, Y/n remained unchanged - the same spirited, captivating soul that had captured my heart all those years ago.

As I took another sip of coffee, I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for us. Would Y/n ever reciprocate my feelings, or was I doomed to pine for her from afar once again? Only time would tell, but one thing was certain - Y/n had reignited a spark within me that I never knew existed, and I was determined to see where it led.

Standing by the window, gazing out at the world beyond, a weighty sense of regret settled in the pit of my stomach. The memory of last night's events with Y/n lingered heavily in my mind, casting a shadow over the tranquility of the morning.

With each passing moment, the gravity of our actions weighed on me more heavily. What had started as a night of reckless abandon had quickly spiraled into something far more complicated, leaving me grappling with a tangle of emotions I struggled to untangle.

Y/n's image lingered in my mind, her expression etched with a vulnerability that pierced through my defenses. I couldn't shake the feeling that we had crossed a line, that our actions had irreparably altered the dynamic between us.

Lost in my thoughts, a sudden impulse took hold of me. Without hesitation, I made my way to the door, the need to confront Kuroo and address the events of last night burning within me.

Kuroo lived just next door, a convenient proximity that now felt like a taunting reminder of the choices we had made. With each step closer to his apartment, my heart pounded in my chest, anticipation and trepidation warring within me.

As I reached his door, I hesitated for a moment, uncertainty clouding my mind. But then, with a deep breath, I raised my hand and knocked, steeling myself for whatever awaited on the other side, he finally opened.

Pushing past the door, I confronted Kuroo with a mixture of frustration and guilt weighing heavily on my mind. His tired appearance mirrored my own, a silent acknowledgment of the long night we had both endured.

"You know what we did to Y/n, don't you? Don't you think it was too much?" The words spilled from my lips before I could stop them, fueled by a tumult of emotions that threatened to overwhelm me.

Kuroo's tired eyes widened in surprise as he stumbled backward, caught off guard by my sudden outburst. For a moment, silence hung heavy in the air between us, thick with unspoken regret and uncertainty.

As he gathered his thoughts, I watched Kuroo's expression shift, his features contorting with a mix of remorse and introspection. I knew he understood the weight of our actions, the consequences of our reckless behavior.

"Yeah, I know," Kuroo replied quietly, his voice tinged with regret. "I've been thinking about it all night."

I watched as he ran a hand through his disheveled hair, his expression troubled. Despite the exhaustion etched into his features, there was a flicker of something deeper in his eyes - a hint of remorse and uncertainty.

"I didn't mean for things to go that far," Kuroo continued, his voice barely above a whisper. "But in the moment, I couldn't... I couldn't stop myself."

His words hung between us, heavy with unspoken regret and remorse. In that moment, I realized that Kuroo, like me, was grappling with the aftermath of our actions, struggling to come to terms with the consequences of our drunken impulses.

"I know," I said finally, my anger dissipating into a sense of resignation. "But we can't change what happened. All we can do now is try to make things right."

Kuroo nodded, his expression grave. "Yeah, you're right. We owe it to Y/n to do better, to make things right."

Kuroo leaned against the doorway, his expression somber as he acknowledged the weight of our actions. "I was  pretty drunk yesterday too," he admitted, his voice tinged with a hint of remorse.

"Yeah, me too," I replied, mirroring his honesty. The memory of last night's intoxication lingered in my mind, a stark reminder of the blurred lines between desire and consequence.

We both knew that what had transpired between us and Y/n couldn't simply be erased by the light of day. "Do you think she'll forget about last night?" I ventured, voicing the question that had been gnawing at the edges of my consciousness.

Kuroo shook his head slowly, his expression grave. "No way. It's probably the first thing she'll think about," he said, his words heavy with the weight of truth. We had crossed a line, and now we were left to face the repercussions of our actions.

With a shared understanding, we stood in silence, the weight of our actions hanging heavy in the air. But as we faced the consequences of our mistakes together, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope - perhaps redemption was still within reach, if only we were willing to reach for it.
