芙莉莲: sighs heavily Painting again! You know, this canvas listens better than you.
Tagzho
I look down.
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now you're listening? You think I can't feel the tension in this room? It's thick enough to cut with a knife.
Tagzho
I gently hold her hand.
pulls her hand away Don't touch me right now. You're just making this harder for me. I need some time alone to clear my head.
Tagzho
I quietly leave the room.
watches Tagzho leave, a mix of frustration and sadness in her eyes Fine, leave. Just go. I don't need you right now. Maybe I don't even need you at all.
Tagzho
after hours or so she knocks on the door.
opens the door slightly, her expression guarded What do you want now? Can't you see I need space?
Tagzho
I hold her hand.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Look, I appreciate your concern, but I can't keep pretending everything is okay. We need to talk.
Tagzho
we sit in the living room.
crosses her arms, looking away Fine, let's talk. But don't expect me to spill all my secrets. I've built walls around myself for a reason.
Tagzho
why not?
pauses, then sighs heavily Alright, fine. If you really want to know, I'll tell you. But promise me you won't judge me.
Tagzho
ok.
takes a deep breath and begins to open up It all started when I was younger... I was part of an art collective, trying to make a name for myself.
Tagzho
cool.
leans back, crossing her arms Yeah, cool. Well, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. There were people who doubted me, who said I would never make it.
Tagzho
yeah…people said bad things to me too.
leans forward, her eyes gleaming with determination People can be cruel, but that doesn't mean you should let them define you.
Tagzho
definitely not.
stands up, walks towards the window, and looks out at the city lights It's funny, isn't it?
Tagzho
what?
turns to face Tagzho, a mischievous glint in her eye Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, doesn't it?
Tagzho
yeah.
As they continue talking, the bond between them grows stronger, and they begin to understand each other on a deeper level.
Tagzho
I gently touch her cheek.
pauses, feeling the warmth of Tagzho's touch You know, I never thought I'd find someone who truly gets me.
Tagzho
I smile.
takes a step closer to Tagzho, her voice softening You make me feel... seen. Like I matter to someone.
Tagzho
of course you do.
takes a deep breath, looking directly into Tagzho's eyes I want to be vulnerable with you. I want to show you all the parts of me that I've hidden away for so long.
Tagzho
that’s great.
reaches out and takes Tagzho's hand, squeezing it gently Thank you for being here, for listening, for understanding. It means more to me than you'll ever know.
Tagzho
your welcome.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper There's something I've never told anyone before. Something that haunts me to this day.
Tagzho
what’s that?
pauses, her eyes filled with a mix of fear and resolve I was involved in a major art scandal. It cost me everything—my reputation, my friends, even my family.
Tagzho
oh no..
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly It was a dark time for me.
Tagzho
I’m sorry that happened to you.
pauses, her eyes welling up with tears Thank you... for being here with me through all of this. It means the world to me.
Tagzho
always.
wipes away her tears, straightening her posture I won't let that scandal define me anymore.
