[Team SONIC] the end of a road

Ending word from here.

"Leave," she whispered, looking anywhere but at him.

Jongdae faltered in the doorway, hand on the door knob. "Li—"

"No," she cut in sharply, her eyes snapping to meet his, and he can't help the shiver that tickled his spine at the ice in her gaze. "Not now, Jongdae." She pointed to the door. "Go, before we both say something we will regret later."

Jongdae turned his gaze so that rather than looking at her directly, he was looking at the tip of her slippers just peeking out from under the hem of her skirt. He thought of saying something — anything to dissipate the awkward tension that had settled between them, but then he thought better of it. He nodded jerkily instead.

"I will see you at dinner," he said quietly before making a hasty exit from Liyin's sitting room.

Closing the door behind him, he leaned back against the wood and stared up at the ceiling of the corridor.

How had things come to this?
