"wait... how did that happen?" it's safe to say anthony doesn't know how to react. how is he supposed to, when he accidentally stumbles upon the revelation that his ex — a person he may or may not still harbour feelings for — is sleeping with his colleague who’s married and he happens to be friends with both of them? he shakes his head, taking another sip of his americano to try and process this unexpected information before speaking again. "...why?" there are so many other people she could have gotten involved with that wouldn't have resulted in such a convoluted and precarious situation for all parties involved. / @gcholdtrops

anthony nods, trying to listen attentively as she explains the reason behind her rather unconventional side hustle. "it didn't have to be at the convenience store... i heard private nursing pays well." he notes, refraining from immediately offering to assist her in finding better job opportunities, deciding to leave that for later discussion if her financial needs persist. his tender gaze remains on her as she promises to have stopped making the videos long ago and he nods in understanding. "i believe you." he feels they should have had this conversation a long time ago, acknowledging that his worries and anger over being deceived had gotten the best of him then. while being a couple doesn't mean she has to be transparent about everything, he believes certain things deserve to be known.
anthony laughs at her joking response, matching her playful jest. "i guess you should consider yourself very lucky that a brilliant pastry chef like me is back in your life." he also feels fortunate that they have found their way back together despite her white lies and his own stubbornness. after all, relationships are never meant to be easy. the best they can do now is focus on what lies ahead and work towards their happy ending, savouring every moment they have together. she feels warm lying over his chest and something about her presence in his life simply feels right. his lips curl from her whispered words, while his fingers brush gently through her hair. "we'll do it right this time." he murmurs, more hopeful than he actually feels, but recognising that reckless optimism is necessary at this moment.
pin-pointing the exact reason for her little side hustle, was the easiest question that nabi would ever be able to answer a question. already aware that the reason it had probably pushed anthony away, was due to the unknowing about it. the reasoning and maybe even why she even thought of doing that, instead of getting a regular job on the side of her nursing work. " it paid well and i didn't have to spend another 4-5 hours at a convenience store just to get the same amount of money ... " making sure she spoke in past, as nabi hadn't even made any videos since the two of them had gotten serious with one another; it simply didn't feel right at the time and it still didn't.
fingers trail along the bare of male's chest, low hum emitting from her while thoughts wandered and figured she owes him the truth; not having been able to grant him that due to the abruption of their break up. " i stopped making them the moment i knew we were getting serious ... i promise you that, anthony. " knowing she should've stopped the minute they started seeing each other but, having a bad record with dating, meant she wanted to ensure that this was actually serious before up and quitting her side hustle.
although their conversation was a mixture of seriousness and softness, then there was a relieved feeling on her shoulders, which stopped being so tense now that she had managed to tell him how everything went down and partly also why. a soft grin erupts from her at his statement, chin nestling atop of male's broad chest to look up at anthony through lashes. " i think they're about a 50/50 since, well ... nobody makes pastries like you do ~ " having gotten an even sweeter tooth since the two of them had begun seeing one another, it was simply impossible not to enjoy desserts when he made them so good as they were. kiss to her forehead causes eyes to close, savoring the moment and the words that comes right after, arm around his waist tightening, as if she attempted to get closer to him. " i'd like that ... i'd really like that. " words are soft and right now she doesn't want this evening to ever end.

“sorry i’m late — the traffic jam was just crazy.” anthony can easily recognise the woman’s unease and trace of fear from where he’s standing. he notices the way her eyes dart around, almost pleading for help, and on a sudden whim, he decides to lend a helping hand. what kind of person would he be to look away when she’s practically shouting for assistance with her stare? resting his arm over the bar counter, he effectively puts some distance between her and the creep who just won’t take a hint. he flashes his sweetest smile, channeling all the warmth he can muster as he plays the role of a pleading boyfriend. “if we go to your favourite ice cream store and get you a week’s worth of desserts there, would you forgive me?” he adds playfully, hoping to lighten the mood and make her feel a bit more at ease in this uncomfortable situation. / @gcholdtrops

❛ i wish i could be as important to you as you are to me. ❜ (nabi to anthony bc she thinks he is disgusted by her uknow c:)
yearning starters / accepting!
silence settles in his bedroom in the aftermath of their entanglement, a quiet so profound that it allows his mind to wander and wonder where they would go from here. is this merely a one-time encounter where they let their yearning get the better of them, a fleeting moment in the grand tapestry of their lives? or is it the start of a new chapter for them as a couple again, a chance to rewrite their story? arms clinging tightly around nabi’s warm frame, with her head nestled against his dampened chest — still rising and falling with the remnants of their shared intimacy — it feels almost familiar enough for him to trick himself into believing this is just like the old times, that nothing has changed between them, there are no heated disagreements simmering beneath the surface, no lingering aches corroding their hearts, and no reckless breakup haunting their past.
that is, until her whisper pierces the fragile silence.
i wish i could be as important to you as you are to me.
it’s baffling how such few words can crush his heart into pieces, leaving him momentarily breathless and overwhelmed by the weight of her anguish.
“but you are.” his fingers stay tangled in her soft hair, feeling the silkiness between his fingertips, while his heart beats treacherously beneath the warm skin of her cheek. “i’m sorry i messed up.” neither of them were faultless in their relationship, yet he feels like he should have been a better communicator than he was. “i was just so overwhelmed by the whole thing, i didn’t know what to do.” to be honest, he still doesn’t. maybe in a perfect world, he shouldn’t care at all about what his girlfriend does with her free time and energy, but he’s not perfect. no one is,�� and he still grapples with conflicting feelings about her side gig, even if technically and rationally it’s none of his business. he sighs deeply, the sound heavy with resignation, knowing his mind is too exhausted to have that conversation right now. so, he lets it slide to the back of his mind for the time being, pushing it aside like a forgotten thought. “but i’ve missed you like crazy.” he admits, the vulnerability in his voice evident as it trembles slightly. “ — i never should have let you go.”

at nabi's response, anthony stays speechless for a moment, unsure of the best way to respond. the ache in his chest reveals his unwillingness to watch her go, but what else is there left to do? he is nobody to her and his opinion doesn't matter. it ceased to matter the evening he called it quits, and it would be inhumane to ask her to stay when he knows how precarious the hospital situation is currently, with her embroiled in rumours and gossip. thankfully, the waitress' arrival to deliver his coffee breaks the tension and allows him a moment of reprieve as he thanks the woman with a smile and a soft thank you. "...that's good." he lies, just as he did the night of their breakup. "sounds like it'll be pretty far away, huh?" he asks, trying to make conversation, a feeble attempt to distract himself from the telltale ache with factual information on her possible new job.
there was a wall between them, one that nabi felt was unbreakable. much like femme had felt their relationship was, until it had proven otherwise and she had lost him. partly hoping this could be of the same category but, nabi also knew the chances were slim; especially since neither of them ever talked about ... them. " yeah, me too. " a lie. she got her daily morning coffee here, still reliving some of the memories that the two of them had created there together. like a hopeless romantic. at the mention going back to her being better, flashback to her breaking down at the hospital lingered in her mind. however, she mustered a subtle smile and pretended. didn't wish to put more worry onto anthony's shoulders, he shouldn't be her rock anymore, after all. " yeah. saw an ad for a nurse position in the other end of town, might apply for that. " in the end, that'd be the best for anyone at the hospital, and nabi wouldn't feel like a target to glare at by all the other nurses present at current workplace.

though he has already taken his seat, part of him still wonders if it's a good idea for him to stay. so many memories have been woven in this place, among their favourite restaurants and spots in the city, and every moment spent with her here feels both torturous and blissful. it makes his head spin thinking about how everything was still perfectly fine merely two months ago, with them exploring new parts of the city on their day-offs. his eyes widen at her question, one that brings heaviness to his chest. "yeah, i am..." he trails off, knowing it's best not to elaborate on the reason when it still aches, and she knows, even without him saying anything. "it's been a while since i've been here, though." also for obvious reasons. he thanks the waitress for the drinks, before stirring his latte with the metal spoon, wanting to take a sip to distract himself, but the drink remains too hot for him not to burn himself. "are you feeling better, now?" compared with that night at the hospital. he asks after a moment, wanting to check on her still. it looks like she is, if the brighter expressions are anything to go by.
when male sits before her, it's like her whole world stood still, the silent hope that was living inside her suddenly awakened, it felt surreal that they spend this treasured day together; despite their split. " yeah ... never failed to bring a good time. " words slip from her pair of rose colored lips, cheeks slowly starting mirroring her lips, knowing that she had also been hinting at the many memories the duo had created her over the past few years. digits strand hairs behind ear and long black hairs falling down against her back, resting chin at the palm of hand as she's gazing over at anthony from beneath lashes. allowing herself to just be in a dreamy state of mind as he's ordering, knowing it was completely wrong of her to be wishfully hoping, especially after the stunt her and jihoon had pulled. chances only having gotten slimmer. fingers of spare hand rests around her elbow, a soft smile disaplying onto her features after his words. " i agree ... so you're having today off as well ? " knowing she had taken the day off ages ago, due to their anniversary. it felt so odd, to make casual conversation, considering their entire history together and the fact neither of them probably expected to see the other here.

anthony nods somewhat shyly, hoping she hasn’t guessed the real reason his feet led him here, even though the answer is more than apparent. while the encounter is unexpected, a part of him feels a rush of relief at running into her — her presence hinting that their bond still lingers in her mind. it might be an unfair hope for someone who was the one to break things off, but he can’t help how he feels. “ah, is that so?” he hums, a nervous flutter bubbling inside him, though he manages to suppress it. “they do have a great selection of breakfast here.” nothing beats homemade goods, but this place has earned its rightful approval from him over the years. hesitating for another moment, he finally takes the seat opposite hers, uncertainty gnawing at him. is it the best decision for either of them to spend time together in a place steeped in so many memories? he quickly makes up his mind and places his order when the waiter arrives. a faint smile curls his lips when she gives the exact order he remembers her choosing in the past. “it is.” he replies, scratching the back of his head a bit anxiously. “nothing beats a lazy morning on a day off.” the familiarity of the moment warms him, even as a flicker of apprehension remains, knowing how easily the past can resurface, though part of him longs for her nonetheless.
first time their anniversary had been hitting after their break up and nabi felt like she was drawn to their place, their table and just allow herself to get lost in the many memories the table held about them. was it silly to still selfishly hope it'd make her feel better ? most definitely. already knowing it might only make her missing much stronger, than it already was for their past relationship. while scanning the menu, the bell rings and it's on instinct she looks toward the door with no hope in mind.
the familiar broad shoulded male walks in, eyes locking together and nabi finds herself smiling without noticing; which she tries to cut away as he approached the table, signaling with a hand for him to sit opposite of her. " good morning to you ... funny seeing you here. " considering nabi was certain anthony hadn't remembered today was their anniversary if they had stayed together; there was simply no way in her mind that could be the case. " i agree, i was going for their breakfast palette ... have the day off so, figured i'd spend my morning and noon here ~ " like they'd normally do. thoughts causing the natural red hue to warm her cheeks, eyes scanning over the drinks card, about to say something when the waiter came and asked for their orders — where the femme ordered the breakfast palette, orange juice and a latte with vanilla syrup. her favorites. " is it your day off too ? " asking, a bit intrigued whether he kept it off like her, to silently be reminded of everything good there was between them.

"sounds like a perfect plan." anthony thought he signed up for a night where he'd be helping his friend — one of his closest since he moved to the city — reach his happy ending in love. he didn't expect that he'd also be finding a cherished connection tonight, but life has other plans for him, it appears. "i'm that much more reassured about our — his — plan now that we've got a nod from a female perspective." he smiles, happy to know that she also agrees with what the lads proposed earlier. "must be my lucky day." the beam on his features makes it clear that he's more than thrilled that their paths crossed, and he now has a beautiful woman asking to exchange contacts with him. quickly, he searches for his phone in the pocket of his denim jacket before handing it over. "and how should i repay you for your kindness in offering to be my tour guide?" he asks, partly to her and partly to himself. "is there any particular type of cuisine that you like the most? i'll look up some restaurants."
" perhaps ... we could combine the tour, or end it, with drink tasting. " again a long shot but, nabi felt like she had nothing to loose and anthony had been nothing but a gentleman this evening; so it felt safe to try her hand at developing a deeper knowledge about him. " that does sound like something most people would like. " listening to homme's words, eyes widen shortly before a smile decorates features. " that sounds so beautiful, and definitely something both of them would cherish for a long time, too. " hand naturally rested near her heart, as if to display that the event would definitely end up being heart warming in a way. taking a sip from her drink then, only to nod a few times to verify, that she was indeed volunteering to further their little chat another time, under different circumstances. " i guess this is where i slip you my number, then you can always contact me if you're interested. " blinking once, then twice and she's quick to shake her hand. " in the tour, of course. " feeling the need to clarify, not hoping he felt like she was being too pushy in any ways.

“i promise.” those were the last words anthony uttered to her before he watched her walk away, his gaze lingering on her until she vanished from sight at the end of the corridor. the thought of her often returned to him throughout the rest of his shift, as it always did, knowing she’d likely spend part of the evening in tears over the suffocating drama swirling around the hospital. the following day, he didn’t run into her; he was called out for service in a different ward altogether. still, a part of him wondered if that absence might be a relief for her, considering the tension that lingered between them and the swirling rumours she was already grappling with.
it was an impromptu decision to head to that specific café, a place brimming with memories, on that lovely saturday morning. his heart sank as he glanced at the calendar and realised it was supposedly their anniversary. his feet had taken him to the first spot they had visited together for a typical coffee date, a bittersweet reminder of what once was. what he didn’t expect was for her to walk through the door mere minutes later, her expression mirroring his surprise as her gaze lands on him at the same table they once shared. fortunately — or perhaps unfortunately — every other table was taken, which might just justify his choice of seating. “um, good morning to you too.” he responds to her greeting somewhat awkwardly, trying to mask both his sheepishness and the heartache that accompanied their unexpected encounter. “yeah… i was just craving some eggs benedict and they make it so well here.” it is a pathetic excuse, one she can see through immediately, but he offers it nonetheless, hoping it would soften the moment.
heart feels like a rock hitting the bottom of her chest, heavy and unbearable and this entire discussion only seemed to validate her need to get away from this place. even if anthony had been a pilar to lean against, then nabi could easily see that the male was still hurting from their break up, as were she, but this whole discovery of jihoon and her doings only added salt to an open wound. once again, she had been the cause of sorrow in anthony, and she hated that. male was supposedly the one she'd want to marry in the future so, to have messed that up, made her feel like an actual zero. " thanks. " words were now short and more direct, unable to really muster anything else as she took tissue, drying moistures on her cheeks; only to then nod a couple of times. " call me in, if there comes a rush here, promise me ? " after all, she'd feel terrible if the male would end up overworking himself, because she was in the gutter lately. that was not the hard-working woman she had been taught to be by her parents. as he pointed toward the next corridor, she smiled subtly up at him. " thanks again, see you tomorrow. " watching his back leave down the corridor, when door shut the tears that was threatening to bust out finally came and she slid down the wall, luckily being hidden between two trolleys with clean sheets; allowing herself to cry her heart out in hopes to gain energy to drive home. knowing it'd be the cause of a potential accident if she drove while sight was blurred from tears. when done, she got up and headed to staff room to gather her things and then left a note by anthony's bag saying. ' thank you for you. ' leaving then, she sat in her car to then drive home to her apartment.

"i'm open to trying it." anthony usually prefers sweeter tastes, but his palate is diverse, and trying new things has always been a passion. "sangria is basically a dessert in liquid form — it's no wonder i love it as much as i do." he chuckles, knowing his sweet tooth is unshakable. “well, we went through some of his most cherished moments with his girlfriend and it'd be lovely to propose in a place that means a lot to both of them." he muses, never having thought about proposing before — not in the exact execution, anyway — so brainstorming with friends is a novel act for him, but he’s usually good at coming up with ideas and he thinks his friends and him have managed to help so far. "thanks." he smiles, pleased to have stumbled upon her despite the discomfort she had to endure before his intervention. "if that's your way of volunteering, then i might just take you up on that offer." she seems lovely company so far and a captivating sight to behold, he would be a fool to turn it down.
" you have to try, if you don't mind more sour tasting drinks, of course. " needing to let him know, as the drink wasn't a favorable to many that she knew; being told often that her tastebuds were a bit odd. however, she figured she just had stronger buds that others. " oh, it's been a hot minute since i had a sangria ... " lips pucker outwards, almost day-dreaming about a drink right there and then. however, anthony's words about the outings makes her eyes widden, smile of amusement and excitement decorating feminine features. " that's honestly ... kinda sweet. " chin nestles in palm of her hand, eyes sparkling with interest as she's gazing over at male. " did you manage to come up with a plan, before you had to be a rescue ? " at the cheers, she sighs subtly; definitely enjoying the company of the presence beside her. as well as a small ignition of hope, that the two could perhaps meet up again. " it's a city with many possibilities if you work for it ~ i am glad you're enjoying it here ... if you ever need a tour guide, i know many nice places. " a potential way of asking for contact information, how very sneaky of her.

anthony could argue with that — he's far from the perfect boyfriend, he knows, despite what others may think — but he refrains. what's the point of bickering now when they are no longer together? "you were good to me too." he responds, his smile heavy with sadness and bittersweetness. they were supposed to have a long way to go, weren't they? how did they get here? the sight of her crying still feels like having his heart pierced by a knife, his arms ache to pull her close in an embrace, but he stops himself with the little self-restraint he has left, knowing that such proximity is detrimental for the pair, even if it brings temporary relief. still, his hand reaches out, and his thumb gently wipes away her tears, only for more of it to fall from her glassy eyes. his other hand rummages through the pocket of his robe, before he hastily takes out a tissue from the packet and offers it to her. "here, take this." even now, it still feels like second nature to take care of her — a habit that he should perhaps try to unlearn, but it feels almost impossible given how much their lives intertwine. "it'll be fine. it seems like a pretty quiet night, anyway." it might be too early to assume this much, but he is merely saying it to ease some of the guilt nabi must be feeling from agreeing to accept his help. "you're welcome." he smiles faintly, before gesturing at the other end of the corridor where the next ward he should cover is situated. "i'll get going, then." even though it is a sticky situation to be colleagues with his ex, somehow he is relieved by the fact at the same time, given how he'll still get to check in on her. "goodnight, nabi. take a good rest and i'll see you tomorrow."
it's as if everything just pushed her over the edge, whether it was the fact that bumping into jihoon had been like pushing the first domino in the line of a mass effect of emotions and events just breaking down to the ground. or was it anthony ? the way he looked down at her through caring eyes, voice so soft that it almost sounded like melted butter would feel like. or was it just everything on top of everything there finally came crashing down. nabi had no idea but, eyes got watery and her gazed directed downward for a minute. " i only know that you were so good to me, akways were. " his question about her current emotions only caused a tear, then a second, to fall down over porcelain skin of her cheeks; wanting so badly to just lean forward and be engulfed in his familiar warmth and scent. however, nabi had no way to ask for it right now, as the drama on the hospital had probably been enough for both of them. so instead she just nods, free hand reaching up to dry away the tears, even if a few follows suit soon after. " thank you, i'd really appreciate that ... even if i'd hate for you to do double work here, anthony. " a slight smile and a squeeze given to his hand in hers were given, letting go as she figured she was being too clingy, too touchy with him right now. " it's okay, i don't want you to be a pickle in a jar with all this, just ... thank you for listening to me. " a smile of gratitude is flashed his way.

anthony regrets it the moment he steps away from the tense confrontation, however brief it is, but he also doesn’t. as far as he knows, jihoon deserves most of the blame for taking the cowardly way out instead of dealing with his crumbling marriage in a manner that it truly deserves. given his close friendship with leah, it makes sense that anthony is furious on her behalf, feeling a deep sense of loyalty. but does he really have a right to say anything when nabi and he aren’t even together anymore? yet, in that moment, his composure slips away and he finally allows himself to let what he feels surface. just when he is attempting to recollect his thoughts and regain his composure once he’s away from the man he’s come to despise, the fingers lacing around his own make his heart stop for a beat alongside her well-intentioned attempt to comfort him. “that’s a lie and we both know it.” yet his expression is nowhere near as harsh as his words; a saddened smile hangs over his lips as he reflects on his mistakes in handling their failed relationship. why did he break up with her when he still cares this much? why would he feel jealousy when he’s the one who ended things between them? his eyes brim with sorrow as he waits for her to complete her sentence, only to find it trailing off, her true thoughts kept to herself. is this how things are meant to end between them? with so much left unspoken and their mutual longing buried deep and looked away from? still, he doesn’t push her to reveal more than what she’s ready for. “are you alright?” his tone grows even softer then, his voice full of concern and care. “you can call it an early night if you want — i’ll cover for you.” he offers, knowing that with all the drama unfolding, it’s probably unbearable to be in her position. “as for the nurses… i’ll ask them to mind their own business.” whether they’ll listen to him is another matter entirely, but it doesn’t feel right that nabi has to shoulder all the blame and emotional weight alone.
moment feels almost frozen when anthony opens his mouth up and speaks to jihoon, nabi feeling herself being puzzled that the male would even butt into this when he so distant with her the entire walk. of course, anthony was kind and listened as well as gave reassuring words but, it had felt like she was being open to nobody, when she had opened up about the bullying she experienced. which was fair, she was part of why the drama even went around in the hospital, so nabi didn't blame anthony for also finding her to be at fault; she already knew she was. it's first when the male speaks directly to her, that she's taken out of the small trance that she had found herself being in from the moment jihoon bumped into her and anthony spoke up. " y-yeah, we should get going. " nodding a few times, throwing an apologetic smile in jihoon's direction, since she knew that he also felt terrible about this whole situation.
when the two of them rounded the corridor corner, she frowns a bit as his warm hand removes her shoulder, instantly feeling coldness entering the skin there all too quickly; his apologize taking her off-guard, especially when he's adding onto it. an instant rush of sadness kicks in, suddenly realizing that anthony was also hurt by the fact that jihoon and her had been getting it on. of course, nabi knew that the two knew one another but, everything had happened in the blink of an eye, both times. slightly shaking digits reach out to wrap around his hand, not wanting to cross any boundaries he might be feeling. " don't say sorry, ant ... you've done nothing but be great, you know this, right ? " voice is hushed, unaware of whether this would only worsen everything between them, especially since she had thrown everything away after the reveal of jihoon and her shenanigans. " i ... no nevermind. " head shook, hand released his and she cleared her throat while also stepping back against the wall, needing a moment to collect her breath and thoughts.
