Our Love Story

26

After chatting with Jeongyeon and having a few drinks, Momo, feeling a bit tipsy, decided to wash her face. Dahyun walked with her to the bathroom. As Momo opened the door, she froze in shock.

"Mark?!" she exclaimed, seeing her boyfriend making out with another girl. Mark turned around, his eyes wide with surprise. "Momo, it's not what it looks like," he stuttered, stepping towards her.

Momo pushed him away, her face a mix of anger and hurt. He tried to approach her again, but Dahyun interfered, slapping him hard across the face. "Don't touch her again," she yelled.

Mark glared at Dahyun. "This is none of your business," he shouted back.

"Are you serious? You're cheating on her and expect me to stay quiet?" Dahyun retorted, grabbing his collar. Momo, overwhelmed, began to cry, her breaths coming in shaky gasps.

"Momo? What happened?" Jeongyeon burst into the bathroom, her face a mix of confusion and concern.

"We just caught him cheating," Dahyun said, crossing her arms and glaring at Mark with disgust.

Jeongyeon's eyes widened in shock. "Is that true?" she yelled, lunging towards Mark. Dahyun quickly grabbed her arm, trying to hold her back. "Calm down, Jeongyeon," Dahyun shouted, struggling to keep her friend from attacking him.

Jeongyeon finally broke free and grabbed Mark by the collar, shaking him as she yelled. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Sana rushed in, her eyes darting between her brother and Jeongyeon. "Jeongyeon, what are you doing to my brother?" she asked, trying to pull Jeongyeon away from Mark.

"Ask your brother, not me," Jeongyeon snapped, her voice dripping with anger.

Sana turned to Mark, her expression a mix of confusion and disappointment. "Mark, what happened? What did you do?"

Mark remained silent, his gaze lowered. Dahyun pointed at the girl standing awkwardly in the corner. "He was making out with her," she said coldly. "Why are you still here? Get lost," Dahyun yelled at the girl, who quickly fled the scene.

Momo stood in the corner, tears streaming down her face. She felt utterly lost and heartbroken. Jeongyeon, still fuming, shoved Mark towards the door. "If I see you near Momo again, don't blame me for what I'll do. Get out," she growled, dragging him outside despite Sana's attempts to interfere.

"Take him away from here. I don't want to see you near Momo anymore," Jeongyeon yelled, still gripping Mark's arm tightly. Her anger was so intense.

"Stop it, Jeongyeon, please," Sana pleaded, her voice breaking. Jeongyeon paused and turned to look at her, sighing deeply.

"You should be thankful that Sana is your sister," Jeongyeon looked at him and let him go.

"I'm sorry," Sana whispered, her voice filled with sorrow for what her brother had done. Jeongyeon glared at Mark one last time before turning back to Sana and shaking her head gently.

"I have to go," Sana said softly, leading her brother away. Jeongyeon watched them leave.

With Mark gone, the room fell silent except for Momo's quiet sobs. Dahyun gently approached her. "Come on, let's get you to your room," she said softly, guiding Momo to her bedroom.

Dahyun laid Momo down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. "Try to sleep, Momo," she whispered, about to leave when Momo grabbed her wrist.

"Don't leave, Dahyun. Stay with me," Momo pleaded, her voice trembling.

Dahyun nodded and sat on the edge of the bed, holding Momo's hand as she continued to sob. "I'm here, Momo. I'm not going anywhere," she reassured her friend, staying by her side.

Jeongyeon returned inside and announced to everyone that the party was over. The guests began to leave, except for their close friends, many of whom were quite drunk.

"What happened? It's too early, why is the party over?" Seulgi asked, looking confused.

Jeongyeon took a deep breath and explained what had happened. The room fell silent as the friends processed the news.

"Are you serious?" Mina exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock. "I can't believe Mark would do something like that."

"Poor Momo," Jihyo said, shaking her head. "She must be devastated."

"We should go check on her," Irene suggested, her voice filled with concern.

Jeongyeon shook her head. "She's sleeping right now. Dahyun is with her. She needs rest more than anything."

"That bastard," Jisoo muttered, clenching her fists. "If I see him again, I swear..."

"Calm down, Jisoo," Rosie said softly, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Getting angry won't help Momo right now."

"Let's just make sure she's okay," Jeongyeon added. "We can deal with Mark later."

The friends nodded in agreement, their concern for Momo evident. They decided to stay close by, ready to support her whenever she needed them.
