"maybe in another world, another life, we were meant for a happy ending, but not here, not this time"
in which nishimura ayame is struggling with her mental health and home life and yang jungwon tries to help her but nothing could ever go right for...
ayame's eyes slowly blinked as her eyes tried adjusting to the bright light. she could hear faint voices but she was still in pain.
tilting her head up slightly, she saw her brother sitting on the chair with his hands folded together, looking at the ground obviously stressed out.
"r-riki.." the girl voiced out. the boy turned his head towards her and immediately got up, rushing towards her
"ayame..you're awake" while his voice was shaky and he was seeming calm, his insides were all nervous and he was about to have a panic attack
"riki what happened?"
"y-you don't remember?" she shook her head, "you tried to kill yourself.."
ayame raised an eyebrow before looking down at her wrists that were all bandaged up and she had an iv line in her vein.
it was all slowly coming back to her, "so..it didn't work" she muttered to herself but riki stood back in shock
"e-excuse me? what did you just say?" he asked her, in shock and also kinda mad
ayame looked at riki and shook her head, "nothing-"
"you wished it worked?! you wish you were completely gone?!" he then shouted
"that's not what i-"
"yes it is! you meant it!"
"riki!" she yelled back, "okay! i meant it so what?! i rather leave this horrid place than be stuck here!"
"so what? you'll just leave me to deal with our fucking father and everyone else?!"
"and? i'm over taking care of you! you're old enough to take care of yourself so grow up!" ayame shouted and riki just stepped back, not believing what the girl was saying
"f-fine!" he finished off, "i won't save you next time you decide to open your wrists or overdose!" he spoke out of anger and went to the door, opening it and closing it shut
ayame sat there before tears welled up in her eyes and she began sobbing.
on the other side of the door was riki with his back against the door and crying his eyes out
despite the two feeling horrible, neither of them got an apology
end of flashback;
"oh..that?" she muttered, remembering it but she didn't want to be reminded of it at all, "uhm..what about it?"
"i'm sorry" he spoke and before she could respond, he continued, "i shouldn't have said those words. i was angry and i was confused, i was nervous a-and i just spoke randomly. those words were stupid and i'm glad you're here still. i couldn't survive without you and i-i just..-"
riki was cut off the moment ayame hugged him again, "it's okay riki. i shouldn't have said what i said either. we were both in the wrong but it was my fault for saying those words in the first place. we were both in a bad spot and bad place. we weren't exactly the happiest" she chuckled a little to lighten the mood but riki was still upset.
she pulled away at his silence and placed her hand on his head, ruffling his hair, "no matter what i say or do, i'll always love you riki. you're the person i can count on no matter what. whatever happened that day is in the past and we don't talk about it anymore, alright?"
"but i-"
"riki"
he lowered his head, fiddling with his fingers, "yes ayame..but i'm still sorry"
"and i forgive you okay? i'm sorry as well though"
"i forgive you too" riki grinned and ayame patted his head again, "i'll walk you to the bus stop then"

"no! no! no!" sunoo exclaimed multiple times before jay stood up from the couch with his arms in the air as his screen said 'victory' and sunoo's said 'defeat', "stupid game is rigged"
"you're just bad at games" jungwon chuckled as he came back from the kitchen and placed down two glasses of water on the table
"hey!" sunoo argued in defense, "at last i didn't turn off the tv when jay said to lower the volume"
"that was like months ago" jungwon rolled his eyes, proceeding to sit next to sunoo.
jungwon's phone buzzed and he took it out of his pocket, checking the message. his lips turned into a small grin and this caused sunoo and jay to look at each other, suspicious of their friend.
"should we ask?" jay whispered even though jungwon was literally right there
"i don't know...it's kinda is private-"
"hey jungwon do you have a girlfriend?" jay asked, cutting off sunoo and sunoo smacked his arm but jay shrugged, looking at jungwon.
jungwon looked up from his phone and at jay, "a girlfriend?" jay nodded, "what gave you guys that idea?"
"you smile at your phone a lot, you seem to be busy a lot and we're best friends so we would and should know" jay answered
the boy rolled his eyes, "i do not have a girlfriend"
"so..you're not texting ayame?" sunoo raised an eyebrow
jungwon scoffed and rolled his eyes, "why would i text her?"
the two friends looked at each other confused at his tone
the boy widened his eyes, realizing how wrong that came off, "oh my god wait i didn't mean for that to come off mean oh my god" he smacked his forehead, "she has work right now so why would i text her during her shift"
"okay that makes more sense" sunoo nodded, "then why are you smiling at your phone?"
"i just saw a funny post" jungwon replied, obviously lying
sunoo and jay looked at each other, not really believing him but just nodded nonetheless
"anyways won" jay switched the topic, "heeseung's holding a party, would you want to come?"
"i'm underaged though"
"so?" jay shrugged, "you act like heeseung cares"
"i'll see if i can go. last time my mom got mad at me for staying out late"
"you snuck out though?" sunoo replied
"yah but haewon told on me like the brat she is" jungwon muttered, crossing his arms, "so i told on her and we both got grounded so" he shrugged
the two friends laughed then sunoo let out an 'oh!', "invite ayame!"
"huh? are we thinking of the same ayame? because i know for sure you ain't talking about nishimura ayame"
sunoo rolled his eyes, "yes that ayame. invite her out since you guys are friends"
"i don't know if she'd be comfortable with going to a party..i don't want to force her or make her feel like she has to go" jungwon responded
"that's why you just offer. just be like 'hey, my friend is having a party and if you want then you can come' " sunoo gave him a scenario
"we'll see if it pops up in a conversation in the future"
