“if you don’t want to be with me anymore –– just say it.” - For Dae
angsty relationship starters || accepting
— an irritated sigh left his lips as he rubbed his temple with one hand, his patience worn thin by his lack of sleep, his father hovering over his shoulder and stress. gritting his teeth as he listened to minghoa rant at him, daehyun watched the male pace for a brief while before he shut his eyes, he was getting dizzy from following the other’s movements. daehyun was clinging on to the last of his his patience and the last of his sanity as he listened, trying to control his emotions by breathing.
at the other’s final outburst, daehyun’s eyes slowly opened to look at minghoa’s face; eyes scanning for the different emotions dancing in his face. exhaling a shaky breath as he continued in silence. desperation, anger, frustration, sadness – all these emotions swirling in minghoa’s face. running a hand through his hair, mussing up his hair before he sucked in another breath and exhaling.
this…this was why he disliked relationships, why he avoided them with all his heart. this conflict was exactly why. it was why he liked the freedom of sleeping around with no strings attached but slowly, he was beginning to feel burdened by having to RETURN every night….having to emotionally commit to someone. tiresome, frustrating, burdening, caged….when did he start feeling this way? was it just the stress??
“fine,” he finally broke the silence, “it’s exactly as you say. i want out,” he stated, standing from his seat. “i don’t want to be with you anymore. i’m tired, i can’t get work done, i can’t sleep around without worrying about when i should be coming home.” he continued, “i feel caged by this relationship and i don’t do well with cages. i just want to go back to my freedom of sleeping with who i want without having to account for someone else’s feelings.” he concluded, eyes steady as he stared back at minghoa.
