chatting with her
You, Cha Hyun-su, sat alone far away from everyone in the beat-up and dirty building. You were almost the outcast in this small group of remaining survivors. You were thinking to yourself, your gaze upon the dirty floor.
Though, someone walked into with their steps being very light. She then sat next to you on the steps, and glanced over at you. “Hey.”
“Don't you know you should always be with your buddy? I came here because my buddy is so sick.” She said with a small smile, dusting off her skirt and resting her elbows on her knees.
“..Are you scared?” You finally asked, glancing over at Eun-yu with the same blank and empty expression. “What?”
“You've grown a lot.” She said after her previous reply, taking a good look at how taller you were compared to her. “I was always this tall.”
“Right..” She muttered out, pausing as she thought of what to say. To break the silence, you decided to say something else. “You're walking well.”
”What?”
“I thought your legs hurt.”
“That's why I quit ballet.” The black-haired girl said after a minute or two, reminiscing the past, before this whole situation started. “You were my last audience. Consider it an honor.”
“You quit it for good?”
“Yes.”
“Why? You were so good.” You questioned, tilting your head slightly. “Look what the world has become. There's no one to watch me perform.”
A silence fell between the two of you, but she took a good look at your expression and decided to speak up again. “Who was it this time?”
No reply. “You have this look on your face when someone gives you a hard time. You know that, right?” Eun-yu asked while taking a look at your face, expecting you to look her way.
