taking a profound inhale, he ultimately spilled the news, "you're getting to an arranged marriage with scaramouche." pantalone announced.
those few words gave you the impression that everything had come to a complete standstill. the way your heart dropped and your emotions were jeopardized by the news made it feel like a slap in the face.
your chest filled with a sharp agony, as if there were needles piercing it, and your throat started to close. you couldn't handle it. tears forming toward the edge of your eyes. you were shaking. you were in dismay by the news and you wouldn't acknowledge such a choice.
"no, you're lying right?" you spoke up, your voice faltering with each word and tears already rolling down your cheeks.
however, the manner in which your sibling returned your look, proved that it wasn't a lie at all. maybe reality is advising you to confront it and acknowledge it. why can't you just live a happy life once in a while?

you repeated, attempting to hold back your emotions as your eyes met his, "we're breaking up." his expression changed as a result of the news; it's breaking you. heizou didn't move as he gave the words time to register.
heizou spoke up since he couldn't just take the words that well and he needed to know why she would think about that. "why? is there an issue with me? if there is, i can solve it." he said. nevertheless, "we won't work out." y/n answered calmly.
he finally allowed those words to hit home and he swallowed back a sob, "it would've been wonderful, right?" he murmured, the first drops of tears shimmering in his eyes.
