Y/N and Kai Parker broke up three months ago, but nothing about their connection ended with it. What was once a relationship has turned into something harder to defineālate-night calls, constant texting, and FaceTimes that blur the line between exes and something far more complicated. They tell themselves theyāre just staying in each otherās lives out of habit, but neither of them ever really lets go.
