the room was quiet, too quiet to their dismay. as if the walls themselves were holding their breath. yn sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her pajamas, eyes fixed on the floor. heeseung stood across from her, leaning against the door to the their shared bathroom, his arms crossed, the weight of what was said pressing heavily between them.

"It’s not working anymore, is it?" yn’s voice finally broke the silence, fragile and trembling. she didn’t dare look up at him, afraid of the confirmation in his eyes.

heeseung closed his eyes, letting out a slow, shaky breath. "i wish it was, yn. I really do.

his words hung in the air like a final nail in the coffin, and yn felt her heart shatter into pieces even tho she anticipated this coming, she wasn’t sure she could ever put herself back together.

she had known this moment was coming, yes. but that didn’t make it any easier. the love they had once shared, so bright and full of promises, had slowly dimmed into something unrecognizable, and it hurt more than they ever imagined it would.

"maybe it was when we stopped trying to understand each other. when we started letting everything else come between us." he said barely above a whisper.

"I miss you, yn" he confessed, tears welling up in her eyes. "I miss what we used to be."

"I miss us too," yn admitted, her voice thick with emotion. "but I think… maybe we’ve outgrown each other. and that’s the hardest part."

heeseung nodded, the tears now spilling over, tracing silent paths down both their cheeks. "so, this is it then? we’re really over?" she asked, finally looking at him.

heeseung pushed himself off the door and crossed the room, kneeling in front of her. he gently took her hands in his, his touch still so familiar yet tinged with the finality of their goodbye.

"if you think it’s what’s best for both of us," he said softly, his thumbs brushing over her knuckles. "you deserve to be happy, even if it’s not together."

the words hurt, cutting deep, but yn knew he was right. They had fought so hard to hold onto something that was slipping through their fingers, but in the end, love alone wasn’t enough to keep them together.

"i’ll always care about you, heeseung," yn whispered, her voice breaking. "but i think it’s time we let each other go."

Heeseung nodded, eyes overflowing with tears "i’ll always care about you too, yn. more than you’ll ever know."

they sat there for a moment, holding onto each other one last time before they stood up, the distance between them suddenly feeling infinite. With a final, lingering look, heeseung walked to the door, pausing as if he wanted to say something more but couldn’t find the words. then he opened the door and stepped out, leaving yn standing alone in the empty room with nothing but memories of them together.

as the door closed behind heeseung, yn sank to the floor, the weight of their lost love crashing down on her. the sobs she had been holding back finally broke free, filling the room with the sound of her heartbreak.
