    Summary

    And, maybe the clearest memory she has of that night, Zoey remembers Mira abandoning her in the crowd.

    She had begged. Pleaded. Cajoled. She grabbed onto Mira’s arm and cried into her shoulder, begged her, because Mira and Rumi were the only family she had. How could Mira not consider Zoey to be her family in the same way Zoey considered her to be? Why was it so easy for Mira to give in once Rumi wasn’t with her? Did Zoey just not fucking matter the same way? What was so different about her? 

    Mira hadn’t listened to a single one of her pleas or urges. She just kept shuffling forward, following the crowd to Namsan Tower as if Zoey wasn’t there in the first place. Zoey numbly trailed after her for a while. She remembers how she had the bitter thought that she wasn’t even important enough for Gwi-ma to pay any mind to. He could get into Rumi and Mira’s heads just fine, he made an effort there, but not with her? And then his voice kicked up in the back of her mind, and Zoey let herself listen. 

    What else did she have to lose? What more was there for her to hold onto?

    (or, after the idol awards, zoey reflects)
