#haeni

life comes in waves of unpredictability and crashes against the shores of uncertainty. it doesn't take long for the afternoon zephyr to carry the stones of despair across the mountainous ranges of isolation. and all that's left is her... the midnight gale that brush against her temples, soothing the ache that once pounded between her dull hues. she has been glazed over by the unwilling nature of her luck, stingy in all of its aspects. her neck ails her, her shoulders tense and her knees quiver from the weight of her body balancing unevenly on her feet. sweaty palms from the stress of maintaining her stance, press against her trousers and she sighs. it seems actively avoiding him isn't good either.

the way she would avoid meeting his gaze, a quick shoulder that would skid pass his own across the hallway, accompanied by a small nod that could have easily been mistaken for muscle spasm. haeni was ashamed of how he would see her, a dependent intern who pitifully spent all of her time and raised all of her efforts to a boy who overlooked her. to a boy who only saw her as a means to an end. to a boy who would curse at her because she wasn't who he thought she was. to a boy who held her past against her and repetitively slammed it against her already breaking soul. her fragile ego shattering at the sight of hyunwoo in the hallway, instinctively her gaze shifts to the person behind him - seemingly preoccupied with the schedule she has made up in her mind.

the inevitable occurs when her phone dings with a notification from a change of schedules, for a change of schedule that could possibly relate to him. she was forced to engage in a conversation that was well above her means of confidence, she takes a shaky breath - its been weeks since an actual interaction was held between them.
