I sat down at the dining table, not saying anything and Yuqi is doing the same thing as well, just sitting there and not saying a thing to me and she looks at me, waiting for me to say something to her because I had something that I wanted to talk to her but I don't know how to start the conversation.

We might have met each other a few times in the past month and we were never alone, it is always with someone else and the newlyweds are always together with us, there was that time where she brought me back to her apartment and I brought her back to my apartment where she got a little drunk at the housewarming party but we said nothing much to each other but this time is different. We are together in the treehouse while the newlyweds are asleep and we are acting like we are the newlyweds instead. "You said that you had something to say to me right?" She broke the silence and she looked at me. "Is there something wrong with me or?"

"About that, I don't know what I even wanted to say to you but I didn't know that you were out with Soojin and you brought her home as well and you caught me having a moment with her husband." I laughed awkwardly. "I am sorry that you saw me like that but Jungwoo and I do stuff like that a lot, we were close back in high school and we are still close."

She looked at me for a moment before nodding her head. "Okay, is there anything else? If not, I am leaving."

"It is already late and there are no cars around, do you want to stay here for the night? I am sure that they have spare rooms." I asked her, I can't just let go of her like that.

"It is okay, I will just walk out to the streets and call for a cab." She said.

"Do you hate me or something?" I asked her, I know that we are not lovers anymore but we can still be friends with each other.

"No, I don't." She said, her face is telling me something else. She is hiding something from me and I don't think that I will like that.

"You do. I know that we were lovers and we had a past together but we are not together anymore and I am fine with being friends with you, and I just want to know how you wanted to stop loving me back then." I asked her, I have always been wondering about this and I don't know how to say it better.

I loved her a lot, I still do and she is my first love and she meant a lot to me. We had a good 3 years together and I even saw a future in the two of us even though we are only in high school and I see myself growing old with her and she decided to call it off after 3 years of our relationship, a week before we graduated from high school.

I don't remember the two of us ever quarrelled in the last few months until the end of our relationship, we have no reason to fight and we are perfect for each other. We have contrasting personalities and we make up for each other, nothing was ever awkward for the both of us and we have a great time being in each other's company.

Everything was doing so great between the two of us that I decided that I want to allow her to meet my mother and the rest of my family, it would have been a lot easier if she was in the same country but my family is in China and I am here in Seoul, South Korea and I plan to bring her back so that she can meet my parents and I will be willing to meet her parents as well.

I even told her about it and she said that she wanted to meet my parents for the longest time and all of a sudden, everything is over between the two of us and we went by our separate ways. Maybe I did something wrong to make her feel so upset that breaking up with me is the only way that she could be happy again and I was the one who is making her feel so horrible.

Or it could be because of my mother? "Had you met my mother 3 years ago?" I asked her and she looked at me if I had guessed it right, I come from a well-to-do family and when I say that we live comfortably, my family owns a few buildings here and there and both of my parents are the CEOs of their own companies and they are not married to each other so I don't get to see them very often.

The thing about rich people is that they have a lot of money lying around at their disposal and they can do whatever they want with that money, I have told Yuqi my mother a couple of times but she is never too interested in her and I feel like she is lying about it now that I saw the look on Song Yuqi's face, my mother must have tried to do something to her back then.

"I don't remember anything about that." She said, avoiding my eyes and looking down on the floor. My mother had done something to her and she broke up with me because of that. "Don't tell me that my mother threatened you to break up with me, you have to tell me if it was the truth."

She looked up at me. "Do you want to say the truth or do you want to pretend that you don't know anything?"

"Why did you listen to her then? She is not important to you and you don't have to agree with what she wants." I said to her.

"She kidnapped my sister and threatened to kill my entire family if I didn't break up with you." A tear streamed down her cheek. "I wasn't selfish and I chose to save my family and let go of you."
