pov: The breakup wasn't messy. Which somehow made it worse. There were no screaming matches. No cheating. No one falling out of love. Just two people who cared about each other... ...but couldn't figure out how to stay together. It happened three months ago. You were both classmates. You still saw each other almost every day. Just... from a distance. Sometimes you'd catch him laughing with his friends across the hallway. Sometimes he'd walk past your classroom without realizing you were looking at him. Neither of you ever said anything. Maybe because there was nothing left to say. Or maybe... There was too much. "Okay, who's first?" Your best friend, Yuna, sat comfortably on your bed while Mina and Chaeri leaned against the wall. "It's Y/N." "No." "Yes." "I'm not embarrassing myself for TikTok." "It's just a trend!" Mina laughed. "You scroll through your chats with your ex and don't stop no matter what." "You guys are evil." "We know." You sighed dramatically before grabbing your phone. "If I start crying, I'm blaming all of you." "Deal." After unlocking your phone, your finger hovered over one familiar name. Yang Jungwon. Your heart skipped. You hadn't deleted the conversation. You told everyone it was because you were too lazy. That was only half the truth. The real reason? You couldn't bring yourself to erase the memories. You tapped the chat. Immediately, the first messages made you smile. Jungwon: Good morning. You: It's seven in the morning. Go back to sleep. Jungwon: Can't. I need someone to annoy. You: Find someone else. Jungwon: No. Yuna peeked over your shoulder. "Awww." "Don't." "You guys were disgustingly cute." "I said don't." You kept scrolling. Pictures of your lunches. Videos of random cats he kept sending because they reminded him of you. Homework answers. Good luck messages before exams. Selfies taken in the library when you were supposed to be studying. You stopped at one photo. It was taken during the school festival. Jungwon had cotton candy all over his face while you laughed behind the camera. You remembered teasing him for an entire week. Without realizing it... You smiled. Mina noticed. "You miss him." "I miss the memories." "That's the same thing." You didn't answer. The messages slowly changed. Less jokes. More stress. "I'm sorry." "I've been busy." "We'll talk tomorrow." Tomorrow never came. Then... The last message. Jungwon: Take care of yourself, okay? Seen. No reply. You remembered staring at that message for hours. Typing. Deleting. Typing again. Before locking your phone without sending anything. You thought silence would make moving on easier. It didn't. "You okay?" Yuna asked softly. You nodded. "I'm fine." "Liar." "I'm just..." You looked at the screen again. "I forgot how happy we used to be." The room became quieter. Your thumb kept scrolling. Then— Tap. The screen changed. Calling... Yang Jungwon. Your eyes nearly popped out of your head. "..." "...Guys." Mina looked down. "...Why does it say calling?" Silence. Complete. Utter. Silence. "I DIDN'T PRESS THAT!" "END THE CALL!" "I'M TRYING!" "WHY AREN'T YOU HANGING UP?!" "MY HANDS WON'T MOVE!" The phone rang. Once. Twice. Three times. Your heart was beating so loudly you couldn't hear anything else. Then— Click. "...Hello?" His voice. Soft. Calm. The same voice you hadn't heard in months. Everything inside you froze. "...Y/N?" You immediately ended the call. The room exploded. "Oh my gosh!" "You actually called him!" "I DIDN'T MEAN TO!" "He answered!" "I KNOW!" Yuna laughed so hard she almost fell off your bed. "He probably thinks you're trying to get him back." "He probably thinks I was stalking our old chats." "Weren't you?" "..." "...That's not the point!" That night... You couldn't sleep. Every few minutes, you'd unlock your phone. Nothing. No messages. No missed calls. No "What happened?" Nothing. "...Good." You buried your face in your pillow. Maybe he'd assume it was an accident. Maybe tomorrow would be normal. Maybe... You were wrong. #jungwon #yangjungwon #enhypen
