Through Sunsets and Midnights

33

The rest of the ride being incased in the deafening silence that engulfed all three of them,

Specifically when Minju and Heecheol stopped talking due to how things slowly went downhill,

They were both glad that Chaewon never woke up the whole time they were talking,

Because no matter how much Minju wished that she was awake there with her to see the stars shining in the sky,

The new information she has gathered about her might've chipped off some of her protective layers,

Every time his words hit her and though it is the truth that she needs to accept,

Chaewon suddenly looks different for her now and them looking at the stars together if she ever wakes up,

With them still in this car can only make Minju tear up on her own after knowing the truth behind everything,

Yet Chaewon's just here beside her asleep as she could be admiring the stars she has in her dreams,

Inside a universe much more further and maybe even better than the one they're in right now.

They entered the borders of the city leading to Seoul and Jungwon-gu is still a pretty long drive,

They are at the opposite corner of where they're supposed to be so with Minju starting to feel regretful,

To even ask Heecheol about that situation that happened years and years ago,

She thought why not sleep right now since the person cuddling onto her is slowly making her feel sleepy too.

She's been holding onto her arm with her head still leaning on Minju,

Like she was some comfy pillow Chaewon grabbed in bed while she was asleep,

Her body also leaning towards her may squish Minju onto her spot but nonetheless,

She feels comfortable with Chaewon being here with her and some of her favorite songs might just help with her falling asleep,

Now that they're entering the city full of opened stalls and buildings.

It keeps reminding her of the night life she has once wished of when she was a teenager,

Drinking beers,

Bar hopping,

Tons of friends,

Wasted money,

It amazes her how she once wanted to live like that since it could've been the worst decision she has made in her life,

But still,

There's that question in the end that always lingers onto so much more questions and 'What if?'

Is the only thing you could point your finger to after considering that it was really you who stopped you,

With making that decision to either live like an alcoholic or spend the early mornings on a car,

With the person you've been wanting to be with sleeping right at your shoulder.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Feeling the change in the surroundings once they entered the subdivision Chaewon's family lives in,

The metal gates by the entrance were already very grand and elegant but to be surprised,

That almost every other house or villa inside also has their own set of gates,

Makes Minju think how high their status in life must be or how much money they could be making,
