Dahyun is determined to write her sad story on the blog which is usually written about his beautiful and colorful life. But this time, it's different. As she typed, those moments with him started to play in her mind. Her tears began to stagnate just waiting to fall.
It was her first year in college, like others she wanted to start a new life. Making happy and meaningful memories with friends. Not even a week in college, she started to receive letters from an admirer. She was hesitant about it, she thought maybe someone just wants to play a prank on her. She thought if she ignores them, she would not receive anything from him anymore.
Well, she might be right. Or wrong. The admirer came to see her and revealed himself.
"Hi."
"Hi. Sunbae, what are you doing? I mean, why are you here all alone?" Dahyun who was scrolling through an article on her phone asked.
"Ah... I see that you're alone. So, I just came here. Is it okay?" He replied in a nervous tone, brushing his nape.
Dahyun just nodded. To be honest, she was surprised by his sudden appearance and feeling awkward as they don't really know each other. At least that is what she thought. Hanbin saw through her, he knows that Dahyun tried to cover the awkwardness by keeping her attention to her phone.
"Actually, I have something to tell you." He finally said after a moment of silence. He managed to attract her attention as she turned her gaze to him.
"I'm the one who put those letters in your locker."
Her eyes widen in shock, at the same time staring at his to find if there were traces of lies. But there was none. She froze in her place, still trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Hanbin then took her hand and said, "I like you. I really do. You don't need to answer it now. I'll wait for you."
He patted her head softly before leaving her, stood still like a statue.
Days by days, weeks passed by Hanbin kept checking on her, gave her flowers and sometimes the chocolate milk Dahyun love. She also received letters with love poems with beautiful words in them. Dahyun has fallen.
Living life as a loving couple, Dahyun was so happy. Everything feels so perfect. But then,
"Dahyun, I saw Hanbin with Rose last night at the mall" Sinbi who just came from her class joined them.
"I don't want to tell you at first, but since SInbi has said something similar, I'll just say it. Last week, I don't remember what day it was. Perhaps Wednesday? We had a Music Club meeting and Hanbin and Rose was joking around with each other lovingly. I think it was quite unusual for friends to act like that but maybe it was just me. I don't know." Pinky added.
Dahyun face turned gloomy. She doesn't want to be suspicious of her boyfriend but at the same time, even she has some doubts about the case. Hanbin did tell her that he was going with a friend last night but that's all.
"I'm not saying he's cheating but they're sus"
Dahyun asked Hanbin about it but all he said was "Don't worry, we're just friends. It's normal for friends to hang out together. You know that I won't hurt you"
'But you guys always left me out.' She thought. Dahyun decided to trust him and wipe off all her worries.
But how long can she hold it?
2 months later.
Wooseok is calling......
Sleepy Dahyun woke up from the buzzing sound from her phone. Why would her classmate call her now?
"Hello?"
"Dahyun. Come to the xxx café now!"
"Why?"
"JUST COME!"
Didn't expect anything, Dahyun just walked into the café casually but something caught her eye. She saw Hanbin walking in front of her, smilingly she tried to catch up to him. But then, she froze as she saw the scene where Hanbin kissed Rose's cheek and both of them look so happy. Startled, tears running down from her cheeks.
She made her way to them.
"Dahyun?" Both of them seemed surprised.
"Congratulations for being successful in breaking me to pieces!" Dahyun shouted in a trembling voice, loud enough to get the whole attention on them.
"I'm sorry. I don't love you anymore" Short answer that succeeded to add pain to her already aching chest.
"Just like that? How could you? How could you be so reckless with my heart?" Dahyun gave them one last look. Hanbin doesn't really look guilty but he was clearly protecting Rose behind her.
"Go to hell!" Dahyun's last word as she ran out of the café. She had been running, pouring all the pain away. She stopped when she felt pain in her toes. Luckily, Wooseok found her at the bus stop and brought her into his embrace.
What a painful story, but at least writing it on her blog might ease the pain a little. One can only hope.
