i wore my new set of uniform for the new season, a skirt and vest over a white long sleeve. i gather my books and bag running out the door waving jihoon goodbye.

"bye oppa!"

"bye yuna, be home early tonight we are eating dinner together!" he yelled back before i shut the door.

i chuckled at his old mannered nagging.

i roamed the empty halls waiting for class to start half an hour from now. because i skipped breakfast i gave myself more time to walk on my feet like the doctor told me too.

i saw sujin from across the front campus with the white bow she had bought with me the other day. i waved at her to get her attention and began walking closer to her.

as i got closer her expression looked off.

i took out one of my earbuds, "sujin? is everything okay?"

she looked back at me blankly. it wasn't how i've usually seen her. she seemed different.

"why? out of all people." she stared at me.

"what?" i said confused.

she scuffed, "how could you be so clueless?" i heard her voice shaking.

"i thought maybe i was crazy, that maybe i was overthinking everything so i could ignore the fact that he's in love with you" she hissed.

i felt my heart race. i didn't know what was happening but it felt bad. i felt a pit in my stomach move down my body.

"sujin, what are you talking about?"

"you really are just a whore."

my eyes grew wide.

"you go get with haruto and almost kill him. and then expecting he was gonna come back to you. it took him long enough to notice. and now you are running to another guy? you really were right about yourself, you can run to as many guys you want but you will never be good enough for anyone" her voice echoed.

she screamed out all the things i've told her, things i was insecure about, things only she knew, things i only trusted her with.

my vision started to close in. my ears were hot. and i could hear the students start to gather around and whisper.

i bit down on my lips, "stop," my voice trembled.

"i liked him for years. and you come and take him away so easily. that night, sunghoon was supposed to take you home so haruto would finally see who you really are. but he had to come first."

she turned and locked eyes with me, "you're not even worth coming back for," i felt a hot hit to my cheek before falling to the ground.

i couldn't even process what was happening. i just sat there holding my face against my fragile fingers.

"sora," she called out hearing her voice break, "get. up."

i looked up at her and i could see she was hurting too. i started to blame myself for this whole thing.

i should've created my boundaries.
