୧ ׄ 𓂃 bus time — 06:40 pm 🎧'

you find yourself in a busy city, returning home after a tiring day at work. the bus was crowded, outside the window seat you were, sounds of horns blaring, heels clicking accompanied by people rushed past with eyes fixed on glowing screens, framed silhouettes and neon signs. with your mind messed up and needing rest, you slowly closed your eyes, trying to distract yourself until you got close to your house.

after who knows how long, the bus suddenly made the stop and jerked to a halt. the bus's doors opened with a creak, making you open your eyes, believing you have lost track of time. rubbing your fingers over your eyes to minimize the blur, your eyes locked onto someone's. even with the noise, you felt silence. "it's you.." a voice murmured, interspersed with the faint hum of the bus's engine.

it was taemin, your ex-boyfriend who traveled far away after your breakup. your relationship ended due to many fights, selfishness and unspoken words, and now, seeing him after so long, you can't help but feel a bad feeling. even after everything you both had been through, now you were just two strangers.
