SUNWOO POV

I secretly watch Jihyun and Sunghoon link arms as they all hop into the train together. The way Sunghoon looked at her made me remember that I looked at her the same way; like she was the most beautiful girl in the planet. He looks so in love with her. He looked the same exact way when I was still with her: head over heels in love.

I began feeling a weird emotion in my heart and mind, I can't pin point what that feeling is, but I didn't like it. It didn't feel good at all... and it was only when I saw them two together. It isn't jealousy. It can't be jealousy. I don't care if they're together or not. I left her for a reason; because I love Soyeon. I don't care less if they're together. I want her to be happy. That's the least I can do for her.. wish her happiness, because I know I hurt her. It's evident in her eyes whenever she looks at me. Well... she doesn't look at me anymore, she avoids eye contact with me, because I can tell if she looks at me, she'll start seeing red.

Once the train doors closed and the train left, Soyeon began to whine and fuss, clinging onto my arm like a little immature child whining about some candy or ice cream.

"Babe! Why didn't you defend me? You made me look so stupid." She stomps her feet childishly. "Boyfriends defend their girlfriends! They were being mean to me and you kept silent. What was that about, babe?"

"No offense, but.. you kind of started it. You know for a fact they don't like you... you were doing it on purpose to spite Jihyun." I shrug my shoulders a bit, and she gets more mad.

While she was going on and on about how much Jihyun was a bitch and how those guys were wrapped around her fingers, I couldn't help but think about what Jihyun said earlier.

"And as for you, Sunwoo... Good luck, dating someone like her. You'll soon realize how much of a bitch she really is."

I started putting two and two together; Jihyun wouldn't say something like that about another person unless she had a valid reason. I'm not sure what the reason is, but it may be the same reason why her and Soyeon aren't best friends anymore. I'm not saying I believe Jihyun when she says I'll soon realize that Soyeon's a bitch, but it does kind of make sense... Jihyun doesn't hate people for no reason. She's not that kind of person to hate people without having a reason. She's very logical and smart. She only hates you if you give her a reason to.

That's why she hates me.. hahaha..

"You don't love her anymore, right?" I snap back to reality once I hear Soyeon ask me this about Jihyun.

"Because it seems like you still love her." Soyeon frowns like a brat.

"I don't love Jihyun." I shake my head, gulping at the same time.

"Good..." she begins. "Because you're all mine." She leans in and gives me a kiss.

She pulls away before I had to force myself to kiss back. I don't know, any sort of physical affection with anyone right now is just creeping me out. It's kind of gross now, I don't know why. I try to avoid being touchy and lovey with Soyeon as much as possible. I always cringe when she kisses me, because I always have to force myself to kiss her back.

"I'm better than her, you know that, right?" She looks up at me, eyes filled with lust. "You don't need her. You need me."

"Uh... yeah. Sure." I mutter, feeling uncomfortable.
