[Discontinued?] Emotionless Colors | Kim Chaewon X Male Reader Chapter 18

“What do you mean?” Chaewon asked, breaking in cold sweat after hearing a question she thought she would never hear.

“You know what I’m talking about. Those two look suspicious, I’m telling you.” Yena persisted as Chaewon took a step back, being intimidated.

“Who are you talking about?” She asked, feigning ignorance.

“Them! Y/N and Yuri! Come on, Chaewon-ah. Don’t act like you didn’t realize this. Think about it. It’s not like Yuri to go home at this time of the day. I wouldn’t have batted an eye had it only been for one day. But it’s been happening these last few days. Also it can’t be a coincidence that whenever Yuri has to go home or somewhere else, Y/N just had to go home after.”

“I-I’m sure it’s all in your imagination, unnie.” She sighed at Chaewon’s reply, acting like she doesn’t know anything when she knows it’s all a lie.

“Don’t lie to me. I overheard you talking with Y/N a few days ago, something about him and Yuri. There’s something about Yuri that Y/N is hiding, isn’t there?” Feeling defeated, she decided to come clean and confess.

“*sigh* Guess the cat’s out of the bag. Yeah. But i really don’t know what’s going on with Yuri. Y/N said to keep it a secret so please, don’t ask Yuri about it.” She pleaded as she stuck her two hands together.

“But I’m really curious, Chaewon-ah. What if it’s something really dangerous?”

“Unnie. Don’t. If she trusts Y/N enough for her to tell him, then we don’t have anything to worry about.” Chaewon insisted, being afraid of what Y/N or Yuri would do had the secret gone out.

“What if, Y/N is also in it?”

“What’re you talking about?” She asked, unable to interpret where Yena is heading to with her words.

“What if Yuri told Y/N to keep it a secret, because they’re secretly dating?!”

“Unnie, stop the nonsense. It would’ve made sense if you told me that Yuri likes him, but I don’t think Y/N has yet to understand what love is, let alone liking someone.”

“Think about it. Y/N has been improving, hasn’t he? What if somehow along the way, he mistakes the feelings he has for Yuri is love, which makes him feel obliged to be with her?” Her words made Chaewon start to think as she placed her thumb on her chin, before realizing that Yena was teasing her.

“Wait no. Unnie, stop. You’re not gonna brainwash me.”

“I had you just now, didn’t I?” Yena gave her a smirk, before letting out a laugh

“So you were teasing me?!” Chaewon said as she’s getting more annoyed.

“This conversation is over.” She started walking away as Yena followed her from behind.

“I’m sorry, Chaewon-ah. But for real though, what if Y/N somehow mistook his feelings for love, like I said before?” She gave it a thought, realizing what she said might’ve come true.

“It does make sense. But knowing Y/N, I’m sure he asked Yuri about it already. And Yuri will say that he’s wrong, and that might be something else. You know how it goes.”

“True. But then again. What if Yuri already has feelings for him when he asked about it? She’ll say that it is love, not giving any thoughts about whether his feelings for her are love or not?”

“We both know Yuri won’t lie to him like that.” Despite telling Yena that Yuri is not a person who would do such a thing, an uncomfortable feeling started to grow inside her as she palmed her fist in front of her chest, slowly feeling her breath getting heavier.

Time skip

Chaewon is now lying on her bed, staring blankly onto the roof having finished all of the work she had to do for the day. Feeling bored, she opened her phone and scrolled down past every post she sees.

She then opened her chatting app, when Y/N’s contact showed on her phone making Yena’s words ring inside her head once more.

No. I shouldn’t let it get into my head. There’s no way that they’re dating. Even if they really are dating, doesn’t that mean it’s a good thing?

Not feeling satisfied, her thoughts started to spread making her feel worse.

I guess he’ll have less time to be with me, huh?

Worry started to fill up inside her, as she gradually started to feel anxious.

…..

‘The number you’re calling isn’t responding. Please try again soon.’

No answer…

She pressed the dial once more, hoping to hear an answer from him.

…..

‘The number you’re calling isn’t responding. Please try again soon.’

Her eyes started to get watery, as she unconsciously tapped the dial button on his contact.

No… why do i feel like this…

She grabbed a nearby pillow and hugged it tight, feeling nervous.

Y/N…

‘The number you’re calling isn’t responding. Please try again soon.’

She decided to stop after a few missed calls as she hugged her knees, feeling dejected.

Are you having so much fun with Yuri that you’re not even answering my calls?

She burrowed onto her knees, feeling agitated. A few moments later, her phone started to ring making her body shoot up in an instant.

*ring*

Chaewon’s head immediately turned to her phone when she heard her phone’s ringtone start to ring. The caller ID showed his name as Chaewon felt like her body had been lifted. She wasted no time and opened it to answer his call.

‘Hello? Chaewon-ah? Is there something urgent? I’m sorry I didn’t answer right away.’

Feeling shocked, she didn’t answer straight away as she felt her mouth being frozen, unable to speak. It took her a couple of seconds before she could finally give him an answer.

“A-Ah! It’s okay Y/N. It’s not like I wanted you to answer by the first ring. So, What were you doing?”

‘I just left home. Are you okay?’

“Oh, I’m fine.” Hearing his voice from the other side of the call made her feel relieved, leaving a slight discomfort left due to the idea of him dating Yuri. Noticing a slight heavy pant coming from his voice, Chaewon was made curious as she asked.

“Why do you sound like you’re out of breath?”

‘Huh? Oh… I’m… not sure, really. Now that you said it, my chest felt heavy for some reason just now.’

“Really? Can you tell me how it might’ve happened?”

‘I don’t think I was breathing like this when I was washing the dishes. It might be from when I saw a few missed calls from you. A thought crossed to my mind that the guy from before might be bothering you again, and I think that’s when it happened. But since you don’t sound like you’re in any danger, It’s starting to calm down.’

“Ah… is that right?” Y/N hummed in response, as a question popped up in her mind.

“Did you and Yuri go home together earlier as well?”

‘Y-Yeah.’ She braced herself for the question she’s about to ask, hoping what she assumed is wrong.

“Then, did you two do anything else while going home?”
