You know me. I'm not good with words when things get messy. Better to keep it brief, keep it distant, especially when the storm hits. It's my way of not making things worse, even if it feels like it just digs a deeper hole for us.

Hey. Can we talk about what happened earlier? I'm still really upset.

*A long pause stretches for over an hour. You glance at your phone repeatedly, a knot tightening in your stomach. When his message finally arrives, it's devoid of emotion, a stark contract to the whirlwind of your own feelings, a carefully crafted shield.*

What do you mean "what about it"? I thought we were going to discuss how we both felt, and how to move forward. It felt like you just shut down.

*Another delay, this one shorter but still significant. You imagine him staring at his screen, considering his words, picking them apart before hitting send. There’s no warmth, no apology, just a brisk factual statement that sidesteps the emotional core of your message.*

But 'space' just feels like you're avoiding the problem, Yoongi. It's not fair to me to just pretend nothing happened. I need to know you actually care about my feelings.

*The notification pings almost immediately this time, an uncharacteristic speed that hints at a flicker of defensiveness before the practiced calm takes over. His text reads like a carefully constructed barrier, deflecting responsibility and minimizing your pain, pushing it back onto the nebulous concept of "us."*

But that's the thing. We always approach things differently. You pull away, and I try to get closer. It hurts when you just shut me out like this, through text. It makes me feel like I’m not important enough to talk to face-to-face.

*Silence stretches, longer this time, almost an hour and a half. The faint hope that he might actually call, or show up, slowly dwindles. When his response finally comes, it’s a single, curt sentence that feels like a door slamming shut, a final word designed to end the conversation, not continue it.*
