wonder girls, sohee/sunmi, warning: character death anonymous August 13 2012, 02:24:17 UTC
I woke up in the morning and I didn't want anything, didn't do anything, couldn't do it anyway, just lay there listening to the blood rush through me and it never made any sense, anything. And I can't eat, can't sleep, can't sit still or fix things and I wake up and I wake up and you're still dead.

from "Straw House, Straw Dog"

that burden's not on you, warning: character death anonymous August 14 2012, 09:13:18 UTC

Sohee is good at deflecting pain, otherwise she wouldn’t be Sohee. Sunmi would have known, because Sunmi knew her best.

If Sunmi were still here, she’d have stroked her hair and whispered kindly into Sohee’s ear that it was okay to cry. Sohee has always been hard on herself, thinks of everything she did and didn’t do. She curls up in her bed and the intrusive thoughts ruminate in and out of her head. Sohee would have never cried in front of Sunmi because she never cries in front of anyone.

Now that she’s alone, Sohee has no reason to hold back her tears. It’s when she’s by herself when her feelings are most vulnerable of revealing themselves. So, in the still of the night, she grants that false memory of Sunmi an unspoken wish because she owes her that much and lets her tears finally spill onto her pillow.
