The city air was cold against his exposed skin. It blew once, then twice — the faint smoke of his burning cigarette falling back into his eyes. It burned, but as he blinked his watering irises, his gaze fell even further than before.
He brought the tobacco to his lips once more — an attempt to soothe his lingering lack of courage.
He sought something to focus on other than the distant city chatter. Maybe the many neon signs would do, but they seemed so dull. No less than how he felt in this instant, never less pathetic than the sigh he let out at the sound of the sliding door behind him.
He inhaled his cigarette another time — just as bitter than before.
“Aren’t you cold,” she asked, her faint steps slowly getting closer. But he could tell. She hesitated to brave the cool wind as one foot struggled to follow the other. The question, the stalling in her steps… she wished she didn’t have to do this. Perhaps, a subtle invitation to somewhere warmer, but alas fell on deaf ears.
His back was still turned to her as he imagined her face many times over. Still, nothing came to mind just yet — maybe it would be shock, or even disdain. He could imagine it over and over again, as his thoughts twisted left and right, up and down.
“Seonhee,” he exhaled, to her surprise as the answer she was expecting never came.
He shook his head, taking a step back to face her. A short pause to be hit by the confusion embedded in every pore of her skin. Unbeknownst to herself, she held her breath for short moment, unsure of what to expect.
His eyes didn’t linger anymore. He stared right back at her — but his words stalled to arrive as if late to travel the distance between them.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Let’s break up.”
The sudden buzz in her ears took over the noise of the city.
Like that, right now and in this manner. She wouldn’t have seen it coming. He continued nonetheless.
“I thought I would be fine the way we were, but…” his words trailed off, unsure of how to even continue. For every day, hour and second that passed, he knew this realization would come. The longest he dared to force himself to accept it, the more it rejected him. Even trading every fibre of his being wouldn’t be enough.
His jaw tightened at the admission, and yet, it didn’t hurt no less.
“I was wrong.”
The wind blew hard once more as if to push them apart.
“Is this about-” her voice was lost in the air, but her thoughts were falling back into place — as the missing piece of a puzzle. The conclusion was short-lived; Barely enough time for the possibilities to unravel in her head that he cut her sentence short — down to the most obvious, as much as both of them didn’t want to admit.
“Yes,” he added, his gaze moving away.
She shook her head in disbelief, rejecting the most obvious. There was no way that could be the truth, no way this is what they had come down to, but she saw nothing else. Stuck in a tunnel perhaps, who could blame her.
Seconds passed before either spoke again. There was no need to make it more agonizing than it was. Both knew exactly what it was about.
“So…” her voice trembled, unsure if it was from anger, confusion, hurt, or perhaps everything at the same time. Swallowing back tears as she held onto the last straws of her pride. She continued carefully, in the hopes of being wrong once more. “You were just waiting to see if I was going to change my mind isn’t it.”
“No, I-” he refuted quickly. The inside of his cheek bitten to weigh his following words a little longer. All the claims of his intentions being pure, and yet, it was like he did everything on purpose, like he was being selfish at her expense. It was far too late now; they just couldn’t continue. “I could never force you to do that for me. I just… made my choice.”
It was fair isn’t it. Nothing she truly could argue with, and yet.
As he stood before her, she saw someone else. A retired performer, now showing its true colors. Through all the days, hours and seconds they shared, this what everything was about. She wanted to believe the words coming out of his mouth, but she couldn’t ignore the growing agony in the pit of her stomach. Everything would’ve been fine if she had swayed in his favor; she believed that to be true, it had to be.
“Then, why did we…” she asked to no avail, and truly nothing in particular. “Did you even,” her sentence cut short, words stuck at the bottom of her throat – cursing at herself deep down for the tears rolling down her face, wondering why anger didn’t take over. As she stood there small as she ever felt.
Why bother if, deep down, it was known from the start – believing otherwise had been foolish. She saw it. There was no urge to prove her wrong, in his demeanor of someone that left a long ago. He held back on reaching for her hand, despite how his words rang to ears.
“I really did love you Seonhee but,” He stared back at her, hand still curled over itself. There was no need to offend her further, right at the moment he sounded the least sincere to her. He persisted; in the hopes she saw where he was coming from.
“Yua needs me.”

Realized today I have to illustrate a chapter in Solstoria I wasn’t even thinking about. “Oh yeah, I should draw that at some point” the POINT it has to be DRAWN is NEXT CHAPTER, because the situation is brought up in this chapter, and it’s pivotal to why Solstoria started in the first place.
(Lawrence was suspended from school because he got into a fight. It’s the only reason he’s possessed. He wouldn’t have been home otherwise. This is probably important to illustrate because the character he gets into a fight with is pivotal to his part of the story. )
me going “I hope everyone likes my favorite character”
also me going “I’m so sorry I put you through so much”
