Chapter Text
april
sana and dahyun stand side by side at the train station, the two girls huddled closely together in an attempt to warm themselves up from the brisk morning air. dahyun has her arms folded over her arms, neck twisting and turning this and that way ever now and then as she curiously scans the area around them. dahyun watches a small group younger school girls as they walk by, arms linked and a juicy gossip being shared between them through giggles and shocked gasps.
dahyun turns another way, and she watches as a couple happily embrace each other right at the door of a coffee shop before ducking inside. dahyun turns, curious as to why sana's so silent all of the sudden. the older girl is engrossed by something on her phone, dahyun can tell as sana hurriedly taps away with a small smile on her cherry-red lips.
dahyun reaches to look over her shoulder, smirking when she catches sana typing a good morning message to momo, finishing off the text with a rather flirty suggestion for the two to go out for sushi after class. sana shoves her phone into her pocket once she knows she’s been caught. sana swats at dahyun, telling the younge girl to mind her own business with burning hot cheeks and a huge smile tugging the corners of her lips upwards.
"ah, its about time!" dahyun cheers. she does a happy dance as if the two girls are alone in the world, uncaring of who sees. "why haven’t you told me? oh my god–how long has this been going on without me knowing?”
sana whines, ducking her head in embarrassment as passerbyers turn to look at the girls."if i tell you, will it make you quiet down? and stop dancing. you're embarrassing me." she reaches up and tucks her hair behind her ears, cheeks still rosy.
"whoa~" dahyun stops in her tracks, grabbing sana's arm before the older can even think to move away. "what happened?"
sana looks down at her own hand, sees the fresh, scarlet red scrapes along her knuckles and dark purple skin surrounding it. it's now that sana turns her head to look into dahyun's eyes, that dahyun gets a full view of her face; a deep purple bruise swells under sana's eye that she had mostly covered up with a bit of makeup.
"it's a long story." is all sana says.
dahyun glances up at the digital watch on display for train-riders; the train is already running late by five minutes. "i think we've got time."
sana just smiles an unsure, but still genuine smile. dahyun links arms with sana, leading the two girls over to a bench only a mere feet away from where they stood moments before. the two girls collapse onto the bench together, shivering at the cold metal on against their thighs. dahyun swings her legs back and fourth, looks expectantly at the other girl. sana takes a deep breath, "so, momo met this guy a few months ago..."
