what happened in the wilderness wasn’t a topic the yellowjackets liked to discuss after returning home. solely because of.. what they did, but you didn’t like talking about it because of.. who you did.

you and tai had a secret relationship in the wilderness, you’d sneak off and hook up just for some sense of comfort in that shitty place. and it worked for you both.. until you were rescued, and you completely ghosted her.

tai had been under the impression that you and her would carry on when you were home, but you just saw it as comfort in a sticky situation. nobody was at fault, because you’d never discussed it. but tai saw you as the bad guy, because you didn’t end things romantically, you ended things completely.

you went almost four months with no contact, until you came across your old text chains. from when you were just friends, but they were still sweet. and for tai, that was a lot.

you missed her. and you decided the best thing to do would be to message her.

tai, i’m sorry. can we try again?

it was on read for a few moments, before you got a reply you didn’t expect.

you seemed to me so much, whyd you let me go?
