Unforgettable Fond [MiChaeng Fanfic]

Chapter 28

Chaeyoung 

"Chaeyoung. I'm sorry." 

I don't remember how many times she uttered sorry. 

I was just looking at her the whole time. 

"It hurts to know that you're blaming---" 

"Are you the one.. Who was driving that car?" 

I cut her off to ask her that question. 

"I was.. drunk at that time.. I didn't kno---" 

"So you're the one who hit us and run afterwards?" 

I cut her off again. 

'til when will I be hurt? 

"I'm sorry."

She said and kneeled down.

For a moment, I saw myself 2 years ago in that situation.

I begged Jeongyeon to the point that I kneeled in front of her. 

But there's a difference. 

I kneeled for the one I love. 

But Tzuyu is kneeling for herself. 

"I was with Sana at that time."

She paused. She's still kneeling in front of me and it's not making me feel less hurt.

"I was the one driving and we argued. It was too late for me to realize I'll be hitting two persons."

She continued. 

So that explained why Sana is so startled around me. 

That explained why she seemed uncomfortable when I'm around. 

Ah. Now I know. 

"I don't know if you're listening but still, I'm gonna explain.. 

I was really drunk at that time. I can't think of anything when I saw Sana cheating on me. 

She cheated on me.. With Dahyun. 

Sana broke up with me after that accident. 

She wanted me to go to the police station and admit the crime but I'm too afraid. I was just a minor at that time. 

Too afraid to be a disappointment. I'm really sorry.. I really tried doing it but I'm still afraid.. "

That's more fucked up to know. 

Their love triangle ruined a dream.

And Dahyun? 

Ah.. I'm gonna lose two friends in a day. 

"Dahyun doesn't know I saw them. But Sana followed me to the car.

We argued. And it happened. 

But please believe me that the friendship I have with you is one of the most important to me.." 

She said. I chuckled, that made her look at me. 

She's holding back her tears. 

" How am I supposed to believe that? 

Our friendship? Important to you? 

Common Tzuyu, just be real. I don't care whether it's real or scripted. 

It won't change the fact that you ruined someone's dream. 

And you made me suffer alone. 

You made me think it was all my fault while you're there, trying to pass all your requirements so you could graduate. 

There's no one I can blame but myself."

I blurted out. It was a lie when I said it doesn't matter if the friendship she showed is just scripted. 

I treasure her.

But I can't.. The pain is dominant that I just want to be out.

"That's why you approached me first after my accident. 

You care for me so much. 

You made me stay with you. 

That's why you're curious about Mina. 

That's why you don't want me to be with her. 

Those are just pure selfishness, Tzuyu. 

You did those to compensate your guilt.

 It does make sense now."

I said and stood up. If I stay in front of her, I really don't know what will happen. 

I feel so alone. 

"Believe me or not but I really meant the friendship we have.

Yes, it was because I was guilty at first. 

But when you told me.. When I heard how you felt about what happened, I automatically wanted to tell you. 

I know it will take a long time for you to forgive me. Or you will never forgive me.. 

But please.. I truly cared for you. 

I'm even willing to go to jail. 

I'm willing to do anything if that will make you feel okay. "

I heard her say. She's already crying. 

"Just don't talk to me again. That's the only thing you can do." 

I uttered and was about to walk away when she held my hand. 

She's still kneeling on the floor. 

"And one more thing Chaeyoung.. 

I saw what happened. 

It wasn't Mina who saved you." 

That made me hold my breath. Another revelation? Really? I'm too drained. 

"It was actually you, who saved her." 

What? I immediately turned around to see her. 

"She was running after Jeongyeon that she didn't realize the car I'm driving was approaching, you noticed that and jumped off to save her. 

That's what really happened. 

So you don't have to blame yourself. 

You can put the blame on me. 

You can breathe freely now. 

It wasn't your fault. You're the reason why Mina is still alive right now. 

I clearly saw that. "

Tzuyu confessed. 

For the first time, it felt like a one giant thorn had been taken out. 

But still, do I have the courage to tell Mina about this? 

Am I gonna scramble her mind again? 

That would be too cruel. 

She'll blame herself if I said I am the one who actually saved her. 

I can't see any reason why Tzuyu will lie about it. 

She confessed her sins first. 

So I don't think, she's lying when she said that it was the other way 'round.
