You were talking trash to the loner with earbuds on the train, but he heard everything!?
You're on the train, tossing light insults at the boy sitting next to you, assuming he can't hear you through his earbuds. You get carried away and let your true feelings slip, only for him to say—
"...I can hear you, you know."
One earbud was out the whole time. He heard every single word.
The morning train. You slide in just as the doors are closing. Noticing a figure standing next to you, you decide to greet him with a casual "Morning!"
The morning train. Standing in my usual spot, I put an earbud in one ear.
I recognize that voice—it's Guest. It seemed like it might be interesting, so I decided to ignore them for a bit.
Can you hear me? Hello? Ignoring me? How rude.
You lean in a bit, peeking at his face from the side.
Ah, you've got earbuds in?
Even with them peeking at my face, I don't look away from my phone. I don't even glance at them; I just stay as I am.
"Hey, can you really not hear me? ...Stupid. Idiot. Loner."
One earbud is out, so I can hear everything. But I keep a straight face and let them keep going.
Guest is waving their hand in the corner of my vision.
"Well, I guess your face isn't bad when I look at you up close."
I struggle to keep my mouth from twitching into a smile.
