❝ all the time. ❞

( november 09, 2022. )
( + old text messages. )

the memory, despite hearing its summarization over and over and being there on the exact moment, didn't fail to leave raeil breathless. it was unreal. regrettable, even.

"did taeyong reach out to you after that?"

"he did more than 'reach out' holy fuck, he spammed me more than the duolingo bird."

"we usually send each other wacky shit after arguments instead of apologies, which explains the hetero thing," doyoung explained once raeil finished reading through taeyong's trail of messages.

"awwww, that was sweet."

after cooing over their adorable friendship, she then shifted into a more serious mood and questioned, "but you left him on seen?"

"i didn't know what to do, okay?"

acceptable, but at the same time no.

"he was literally apologizing and you just shut him down like that, damn. i thought you were best friends."

"i was actually . . supposed to . . do something," he muttered, almost inaudible, but bless his girlfriend's commendable ears, "but it's too late now, y'know? i'd only be making a fool of myself."

the way he spoke was vague, but this definitely wasn't the time to take sides so she just took the chance to console him.

"i mean, it's taeyong we're talking about. i'm sure he'll understand your reasons."
