Broken Pieces || Park Jisung

     "THAT FUCKING HURTS!" Jisung winced as Minha applied the ointment on his busted lip.

"Why did you even punch him? Sunghoon never hesitates to throw a punch back." She sighed and continued her work and that is treating the black haired boy's wounds.

Yes. Wounds.

They sat at a bench in a park near their school, the duo deciding to skip the basketball match since they didn't participate in any anyway.

After that one punch, Sunghoon didn't hesitate to fight back. He was that kind of person. Always above everyone else.

But him begging for forgiveness was new, even to Minha herself.

"Wow, he made you cry but you're defending him?" His words made her stop, her eyes gazing on the floor.

Jisung saw the change in her mood and cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled which the girl clearly heard and smiled at his words. She resumed treating his wounds.

"He was my ex. A toxic person, I tell you." She glanced at the boy only to see him staring at her. She gulped and fixed her eyes on his wound once again.

"He's the reason..."

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me." Her eyes were brought back up, meeting Jisung's black orbs.

And in fact she didn't need to tell him. He heard it all. He was just enjoying his peaceful nap on the rooftop when Minha's voice suddenly woke him up.

"Where were you that day?! Huh?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST?!"

"I was begging, crying for you because I needed someone. BUT WHERE WERE YOU?! OH, RIGHT. YOU WERE WITH ANOTHER GIRL!"

Jisung's heart clenched as he heard her sobbing. He didn't know why but he felt like he was stabbed at the heart as he heard her cry.

"AND YOU HAD TO BREAK UP WITH ME ON THE DAY OF MY FATHER'S FUNERAL SAYING THAT I'M TOO "BROKEN" FOR YOU!"

"NEWS FLASH, I DON'T NEED NOR WANT YOUR APOLOGY. I WANT MY OLD SELF BACK AND IF YOU CAN'T GIVE ME THAT THEN LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE."

Jisung knew that Minha was broken. But he didn't know that she was this broken. That explained why she wanted to jump that night.

"I'm sorry, please, I love you." He spoke with tears forming his eyes as he hugged the crying girl.

Jisung grit his teeth as he saw him hugging her. He didn't like it one bit.

"I regret what I did. Please, I'm so sorry. I want you back." Minha fought hard to push the boy away but he was persistent.

"You fucking cheated, you asshole!"

"I didn't mean it! I'm sorry!"

"Then calling me a pathetic bitch while I was grieving for my father was just a joke too?! GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!"
