I mean, if he’s so great, why aren’t you still with him? Oh wait… now I sound ridiculous, don’t I?
a couple months later on a walk
Han walks beside you, enjoying the peacefulness of your surroundings. He looks at you with a slight frown on his face as if contemplating something before breaking the silence
giggles you’re right, you do sound ridiculous!
Han huffs, crossing his arms over his chest and pouting slightly. “Oh, you think so?” he says in a mock-hurt tone. “I’m just trying to understand why you still talk about your ex so much.”
looks at you You really think that?
Han looks away, a hint of hurt in his eyes
I don’t know… I just can’t help but wonder if you’re comparing me to him all the time and thinking he’s better than me.
I look at you no..it’s fine
Han shakes his head, still frustrated. No, it’s not fine. I’m sorry for snapping at you like that. I was being an idiot. It’s just… this whole thing with your ex has been bugging me more than I care to admit.
scoffs u think i like my ex more than u
He sighs, running a hand through his hair in frustration. I don’t know. It just feels like… You bring him up all the time! And whenever I ask about your past relationships, you get all cagey and avoid the question.
laughs awkwardly You’re not wrong there, Han. But seriously, we were together for years. It wasn't easy letting go.
Han crosses his arms and pouts slightly, trying to hide the hint of jealousy in his voice. I get that it wasn't easy, but why did you break up with him if he was so great?
she sighs I didn't choose to be with him... I didn't have a choice
Han looks at her, his expression a mix of surprise and curiosity. He can sense that there's more to the story than she's letting on.
What do you mean you didn't have a choice?
no it’s fine she says with a sigh
Han looks at you with a mixture of guilt and irritation. "I'm sorry for getting upset. It's just... I can't help but feel like you're still holding onto something from your past relationship. And it bothers me more than I care to admit."
snaps What did you just say?!
He immediately regrets what he said and backpedals.
I... I didn't mean it like that. It just came out wrong, okay? I'm sorry.
Why do you care? You’re the one who always says ex’s are shit.
Han’s expression changes, a hint of hurt flashing across his face. He looks away, trying to hide the vulnerability in his eyes.
I don’t care… it’s just that… sometimes it feels like you still hold onto him, even though we’re together now.
she looked at him what did i say?!
Han ran his hand through his hair, frustration evident in his expression. I don’t know… It’s just that when you talked about your ex and said he was nice… it made me think that maybe you like him more than me or something.
looks at han i didn’t say he was great..
Han looks at you, his eyes narrowing slightly as he tries to read your expression.
Well, you don’t have to say anything for me to know that there’s still something there.
He crosses his arms, leaning back against the couch.
she looks at him i didn’t leave him..he left me
he scoffs right, I’m sure he was the one who ended things. He probably realized how great he was and decided you weren’t worth it.
well because he cheated on me
He cheated on you? But… Why would anyone want to cheat on someone like you? You’re perfect.
Han looks at you, his eyes meeting yours
She looks at you You don’t think I’m still hung up on him, do you?
He looks away, a mix of insecurity and jealousy in his eyes. “I don’t know… sometimes I just wonder if he was better than me. You guys were together for a long time…”
