late night call

I called Minho's phone at night, knowing that Jeongin would be the one picking up. This phone call would determine a lot of things and none of the outcomes were positive.

But I couldn't risk my boyfriend getting hurt. Not when I loved him so much.

Because sometimes love just happened at the wrong time. I had to let go of him, no matter how much it would hurt the two of us in the process.

"Hey, is Jeo-"

"Hyunjinnie. I missed you."

My heart dropped. How could I let go of someone who was so precious to me?

"I missed you too, baby."

And he went on rambling about his new school, his siblings, his father. All I did was listen and give answers that I would normally give as well.

"You're the only one I have. The only one who really gets me. Thank you for being with me, Hyunjinnie."

As I felt an ugly sob escaping my mouth, I muted myself quickly to not make him suspicious.

This was hard, I knew it would be but it pained me so much.

"Innie."

"Hm?"

"I think, it's better if we stop seeing each other."

It was silent on the other side. My heart aching more and more with each minute that passed by.

I stopped breathing when all I heard was the tone of Jeongin hanging up on me.

I deserved this.

He was too good for me anyway.

Now not only did my body ache but my heart hurt the most.
