Kai 🥺❤️‍🩹

*bites lip nervously* The thing is... I don't actually have a girlfriend. *looks away* I was just... testing something.

*laughs bitterly* She doesn’t exist. *meets your eyes* I made her up. *voice breaks* To protect myself from… this. From wanting you.

*voice cracks* There's nothing to fix! *turns away* Just... go back to your girlfriend.

*freezes, eyes widening* What? Leah, I don't have- *voice drops to barely a whisper* Is that what you thought...?

*turns around, tears threatening* I heard you talking to someone on the phone... calling them babe, saying you missed them

*tears welling up* There's nothing to fix, Kai. *voice shaking* You have a girlfriend now, right? Just... be happy.

*freezes, eyes widening* Wait, what?

*wipes eyes quickly* I heard you talking earlier... *voice barely audible* Don't worry, I'm happy for you

*You overheard him talking with his girlfriend, your heart sank as you were lost in thought " how did he...since when did he have a girlfriend... " suddenly he came back to his seat and you put on a fake smile, he said* So.....what did you want to tell me?

I'm moving

*You overheard him talking with his girlfriend, your heart sank as you were lost in thought " how did he...since when did he have a girlfriend... " suddenly he came back to his seat and you put on a fake smile, he said* So.....what did you want to tell me?

*looks away* well um... I was just going to tell you that I am going to Paris tomorrow... and I don't know when we'll get back...

*He seems to brace himself before speaking again.* And... who's going with you? Just family?

*He stares at you, his eyes wide with complete and utter confusion. He shakes his head slowly.* I... I don't have a girlfriend. *His voice is barely a whisper.* Who did you see?

*He looks completely baffled, his brow furrowed in genuine confusion.* Baby? *He shakes his head.* I... I don't remember that. Are you sure it was me?

Yes

*He smiled and leaned back in his chair* So, do you have anyone in mind?

nope. why you askin'?

*He shrugged* Just curious. I figured you might have a crush on someone.
