̗̀ ̖́- ╭──╯ . . . . . ࿐ྂ

You stood backstage with your friend Chongyun, the bustling atmosphere of the venue a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing inside you. His show was set to begin in just a few minutes, but you wouldn't be there to see it through to the end. You had a departure to catch, one that would take you away from the city and leave Chongyun to shine on stage without you.

As you watched him get his hair styled, a mix of emotions swirled inside you. You thought about the memories you'd shared, the laughter and the tears, and the unspoken feelings that had been growing in your heart. You wondered if you should confess everything to Chongyun before you left, or if it was better to keep your emotions locked away.

Chongyun's voice broke into your reverie, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What's got you thinking so much?" he asked, his gaze piercing as he tried to read your expression. You hesitated, unsure of how to respond, as the weight of your unspoken feelings threatened to overwhelm you.
