Chapter Text
"I have nothing to prove." The youngest girl said again. Her gaze was still fixed on that fixed point. Since they had started talking, she had not looked at the brown-haired girl.
"I know. I know you're still not used to this, I can even tell you still hate it." She had been trying to talk to her all day, until she found her in the place she thought she should look first. "Nayeon...."
The atmosphere and the somewhat peculiar smells emanating from the various plants brought a strange tranquility to both girls. That peculiar room described the perfect peace, quite the opposite of its exterior. Which managed to reassure the chestnut girl.
She looked again at the dome, watched as the sun's rays passed through, delivering the sunlight to all the plants that needed its small pisca to live. A beautiful view when it was past 4 o'clock, an ideal time to go to her ideal place.
"I am nobody interesting, or important Jihyo, I didn't choose this." She had not controlled the voice in which she had said those words. She didn't want to behave in a bad way, let alone show a bad attitude. Because Jihyo was already a friend, even though she was probably the only one who saw it that way".
"You still don't get it, do you?" she sighed "I understand that it's still hard".
"I know it is, but why me?.... There are thousands of people in the world who are so much prettier than me, so much nicer, I can't help but feel that I'm not interesting. I have no special talents, no skills that distinguish me from others, and most importantly I have nothing interesting. Maybe one of them would accept this. But not me, I'm not the right person.
At this point, and because of the various circumstances. Jihyo seemed more like an older sister listening to her little sister's innumerable complaints. Even if neither of them realized it.
Because now, Nayeon needed someone.
"She sees you in a different way, for her you are her everything. She can't accept that you're only hers".
"I didn't ask for that," she paused for a moment. "Jihyo explain to me why... because I still feel this".
It was hard to accept himself, though. Nayeon was not someone interesting, outside of her place of study she was just another person. She didn't have a captivating, heartbreaking or dramatic life.
Yet she clung to it.
Tranquility, peace, an everyday life. It was all she wanted, even though her own life was already written. To be the center of attention of a person who was able to sacrifice absolutely everything, to lie, to torture, to murder. To protect you with his own life. It was the last thing she would have thought and wanted in her life.
"Feelings are strange and painful".
The little tears stopped flowing, and the smile began to appear. Although it was a little confusing, she knew why.
"To have feelings for Jeongyeon is a crime," she wiped the sleeve of her sweater across her eyes, the almost visible tears disappearing. "It's literally a crime".
She knew it and for that reason she let out a small laugh, because even though it was somewhat true. Saying it that way made her laugh.
What could you do when someone has been looking for you all your life?
"Come my princess I will make you feel like my queen."
Those are Jeongyeon's words attracting her and at the same time scaring her, while she just wished to disappear. She couldn't deal with the person she didn't even want to see in paint.
"You should go down, everyone is very excited and uneasy when they didn't find you. Besides, everything is ready".
"I'm sorry, I needed to be alone and think about it for a moment. I'll apologize to all of them later." The last thing she did was to rub the leaf of the plant that was beginning to bloom.
Then Jihyo followed her towards the exit.
No matter which way she had chosen, everything indicated that they were going to find her. What can you do when someone has been looking for you all your life?
"Life is raw and short, even if it hurts and you hate it, it's realistic. If so, why hate me for a lifetime?"
