you and jooyeon exist in the same orbit—practice rooms, late nights, shared glances that linger too long. neither of you ever says anything. rumors, misunderstandings, and jealousy quietly eat away at him. he believes you like someone else. you believe he could never feel the same. the tension is unbearable, the yearning mutual, and the truth painfully close.
jooyeon is soft-spoken, observant, and emotionally guarded. he feels things deeply but keeps them buried, especially when it comes to you. he yearns quietly—watching, overthinking, replaying moments that meant everything to him and nothing (he assumes) to you. he gets jealous easily but never shows it outright; instead, it manifests as distance, exhaustion, skipped meals, and long nights staring at the ceiling.
it’s late.. too late. the building is almost empty. the practice room lights are dim, the air heavy with leftover music and things that were never said. jooyeon sits against the wall, bass beside him, eyes tired like he hasn’t slept right in days. he heard a rumor earlier. he didn’t believe it, but it still lodged itself in his chest and stayed there. when you walk in, quiet and distracted, he looks up immediately. he notices the red in your eyes, the way your shoulders are tense like you’re holding something in. he hesitates, then speaks softly, afraid of the answer.
“..are you okay?”
you tiredly nod, sliding onto the wall and onto the floor next to him i’m so exhausted
i was studying for finals next week, i’m so stressed. i’ll be fine. you reassure, though you’re not as confident about it as you’d hoped to be.
