streetlight ♫ - seo changbin

chapter 2:

"are you some kind of 'celebrity'?" changbin emphasized while smirking, i couldn't help but feel more relieved and relaxed. "good you don't know much about me" i say while changing the song i was listening to to 'if' by spearb.

(changbin's pov)
"what do you mean?" i said as the train stopped, "nice meeting ya" she said as she ran out of the train. "Y/N!" i called out for her,
she turned around and just said "it's better off if you don't know me"

i was left perplexed and confused, i was deep into my thoughts until jisung called me. "CHANGBIN HYUNG CMON WE GOTTA GO TO THE PARK AND SHARE OUR IDEAS" "IS CHAN DOING THOSE TEAMWORK EXERCISES AGAIN?" i yelled back in frustration, "JUST COME HERE" jisung yelled while he grabbed my wrist.

"ow my wrist" i say as i took jisungs hand off of me, "changbin hyung im sorry" he bowed down slightly. "awwwww so jisung does care for me our cute little maknae" i teased him while pinching his cheek, "very funny" jisung said while he rolled his eyes.

(time skip to the park)
"so what did you come up with?" chan hyung asked me, i threw my notebook at him and leaned onto the bench we were on. "dude are you okay?" jisung asked me while he was reading the lyrics, "yeah why?" i asked back.

"these lyrics are deep as fuck, are you going through something?" chan hyung asked with a concerned look on his face. "it's called empathy for other people idiots" i shrugged as i reached for my mp3 in my bag, "you? f-feel empathy?" jisung stuttered and then started laughing "everyone does right?" i teased. "are you seeing someone??" chan hyung started coming closer, "what the fuck? no way" i hit him lightly.

"perhaps" i said and jisung and chan hyung looked at me, "do you guys know who kim y/n is?" i asked them while trying to find myself earphones in my bag. "THE kim y/n? hyung she's bad news, almost everyone in town knows her" jisung warmed while chan nodded with him, "yeah she acts like you almost, except she has no one on her good side unlike jisung and i with you" chan states while he looked me in the eyes.

"dude y/n went to our school, remember kyung?" chan asked me with a shocked look on his face, "baek kyung?" i looked at him confused while i put my bag away when i found my earphones. "she 'dated' kyung and got into some real bad shit with his father" jisung butt in, "his father disappeared years ago a long with kyung, i heard he plans revenge on her" chan warned. "never ever get close to her" he warned once more.

"i got it i got it jeez, she was just next to me while waiting for the train and i caught her reading my lyrics" i rolled my eyes and chan and jisung were in shock, "FOR HOW LONG?" jisung yelped. "i don't know like 15 minutes?" i answered, "she never has her attention on something for more than 5 minutes unless it interests her" jisung looked at chan and they made eye contact, "try to avoid her at all costs she'll only be bad news to you" chan said again.

i looked up to the distance to see a familiar face, "y-y/n?" i said to myself but both chan and jisung heard me. they both looked at where i was looking and their eyes grew big, "we should leave" chan hyung grabbed my arm and i shook it off, "hyung i'm staying here" and as i said that chan looked worried. "changbin-ah please don't talk to her again"

i nodded and rolled my eyes while waving chan and jisung goodbye, "i'll continue to write more lyrics" i said to myself while i grabbed my earphones along with my notebook and pen. if i'm being honest my lyrics just come out naturally as to what i'm feeling in the moment, i proceeded to write more,

"i cant rely on anybody but myself
but now i'm shaking but who can i reach out to?
in front of the shoulders i held my hands on
now my shoulders are dropping further but who cares?
i cant let it out, i can't let it all out"

i couldn't help but cry to what i was feeling, as much as i wanted to tell chan and jisung i'm not doing well. they rely on me and i don't want to let them down and show them how weak i actually am.

i stood up and wiped my tears and put my stuff back in my bag, "enough crying, chan hyung and jisung will notice" i said to myself and started walking. the place chan told us to meet up was quite far, about 10-15 minutes away. but at this time i could admire the nature around me,

i stopped by a familiar looking tree and decided to check it out, i walked closer and i saw the engraving on the tree. "changbin and eomma"
i read out and immediately had a flashback,

(flashback in the authors pov)
"eomma !! how much do you love me?" changbin giggled and ran up to his mom, "changbin my darling, my love for you is like a tree" she smiled at him while pulling him closer. changbin gave his mom a confused look and she started to explain,

"our love will grow forever as long as we both take care of it". after explaining his mom grabbed a stone and started carving the tree with both their names to make it 'their tree' and the rest was history.

(back to changbin's pov)
"those were the good times" i said to myself and left the tree, "but unfortunately people can change, for the better or for the worst"
at this point i was already near the exit so i started running to it. i saw y/n with her earphones plugged in looking like she didn't give a shit about anything in the world.

both y/n and i exited the park without interacting but it's best if neither of us talked to each other, she started walking towards the busy street and i also had to walk the same direction in order to go back to the subway to get to my apartment.

as i waited for the stoplight to turn red in order to cross the road, something unbelievable happend. y/n closed her eyes and started walking even though cars were driving by very fast.  one of the cars started driving really fast, the drivers face was beyond concerned as she realized her brakes weren't working and y/n was still walking.

she walked and saw the car coming her way and just stood there with a blank expression on her face, i grabbed her wrist to pull her away as the car drifted by thankfully not hitting anything or anyone.

"DO YOU NOT HAVE A CONSCIOUS?"

(a/n: this chapter is pretty long but i hope you enjoyed it !!)
