“Sorry for the wait.”

⚠︎ || fluffy angst, abuse

✦ || she bottled up too much, but kept going.

Heels and shoes clattered on the marble pale floor as everyone gathered around like magnets for the cake cutting, so crowded that some even hit the smooth marbled walls, the atmosphere and everything felt perfect, just like how your sister had planned it to be. It was the day of your pregnant sisters gender reveal, and as the person who helped bake the cake and set up the required decorations, you were eager to see her reaction, practically jumping in excitement mentally.

As the countdown started, loud and clear — your sister cut the cake and blue chocolate spilled out along with edible glitters and white sprinkles, the crowd of people cheered, her husband and your parents immediately ran up and hugged your sister, some even congratulating her in the instant that they saw that chocolate, including your best friend Minjeong who brought her boyfriend along with her. You smiled proudly and snapped a quick picture from your phone, of course you were happy for her, and proud of yourself for making that cake that you honestly were waiting to devour already.

You watched as more and more people circled around your sister while you smiled from afar, content with your sister’s special day. But it didn’t last long, your smile turned into a subtle frown, on the corner of your eye, you spotted Minjeong’s boyfriend dragging her out of the building, a forceful grip on her wrist, and a very quiet yelp from Minjeong, but it didn’t go unheard from your ears, with a hesitant step, you followed the only reasonable gut instinct that appeared in your mind — follow her, at a safe distance and quiet, small steps to make sure you didn’t seem like some sort of creep, you were only worried for her after all.

When they stopped outside the building, you stood on guard behind the door, being hyper aware that you could make a small creak if you moved too much, you peeked out as Minjeong was dragged out of her own will, her heels stood on the concrete just outside of the building, the lights casted a warm outline of her and her boyfriends facial expression, his expression seemed somewhat tired, or even a little irritated, he opened his mouth to speak, but it didn’t even feel much like talking, halfway yelling.

“Happy now? I drove you here to this stupid celebration thing, now let’s go home.” He barked out and you narrowed your eyes, how could he call your sisters baby celebration stupid, and how could he talk to your best friend like that?

“But... wait!” Minjeong stopped him from taking another step away, her expression tinged with slight desperation and her voice broke just a bit, “ I wanna stay just a little longer, please? Let me talk to my best friend at least.”

“I said no, what do you wanna do? Sleep here or something?” He barked out, toxicity filled him tone and even the air around him.

“No... but-“ she tried to talk, and he interrupted.

“Whatever, don’t complain if you have to run back home in rain or something, I’m busy and need to go home.”

Your stomach twisted as you watched him just walk away into the parking lot dismissively without a care in the world, leaving Minjeong behind like she valued nothing at all, but Minjeong didn’t stand up for herself, she just stood there with her head drooped down and let out a heavy sigh, feeling guilty for denying him, but too stubborn to chase back. It hurt your heart to see her like this, vulnerable, in all the worst ways possible. So without much waiting, you had to approach her.
