cruel - jaehyun

"i can't talk right now, y/n. i'm tired." jaehyun grunted, closing his eyes and laying down the bed you share together. he covered his eyes with his arms as he tried to sleep.

yet, here you are standing in front of him. "jaehyun, we need to fucking talk! you can't just not go home yesterday, without fucking telling me what happened! i was worried sick, yun-o!" you can't help but to raise your voice, thinking its the only way to get his attention.

"jesus christ, y/n! i'm tired from practice! let me fucking sleep! you're so irritating!" jaehyun shouted back, making you flinch a little. so you backed up, tears pooling around your eyes.

that right there is what your daily life is. jaehyun going home late, sometimes spending the night somewhere else. in three years that you two were dating, you can tell that this is the worst you guys have ever been.

after almost a month of miscommunication, barely even talking, and when you do talk, jaehyun's always mad or disinterested. you felt pathetic, as you try to converse with him but always ending with, "please y/n, leave me alone for a minute."

that's it. i can't take it anymore.

"jaehyun, i think we should take a break." despite of your voice shaking, you managed to say the words you've been thinking for a while now, but never had the courage to say. until now.

jaehyun, wide eyed, sat up from the bed. he looked shocked, his brows slowly furrowing.

"what did you say?" jaehyun, still processing your words. he stood up, but didn't take a step towards you.

"i-i just think we need space--"

"i'm glad you said it first. now get out of my apartment."

just like that, you shattered. your whole life fell apart, because of those two sentences.

you didn't notice it but you started crying, quickly leaving the apartment with only your keys in one hand, phone on the other. hurriedly, you ran towards your car. in there, you started bawling your eyes out.

how could he say that so easily? it's like he's been waiting for me to give up. its like i was the only one hoping for this relationship. fuck!

shaking, you started to drive. you don't know where, but all you think about is that you have to get away from there.

how could he be this cruel?

did he have somebody else? it's that woman from daegu, i'm sure. they were always together. more than me and jaehyun.

yes, you've been suspicious of minyoung, johnny's cousin. they're close, sometimes jaehyun would talk to her on the phone, for an hour straight. you told this to jaehyun before, expressing your concern but again, he shut you off by saying, "you're so paranoid. she's just a friend!" a line said by all cheaters ever existed.

not long before your own thoughts get a head of you. you cried and cried while driving, knowing damn well this is a dangerous thing to do. yet, you don't have any other choice. you don't know where to go.

you moved to seoul for jaehyun. you've been living on his apartment eversince you moved here. you have no one to call in the middle of the night, in seoul. of course, you had friends, mostly nct members, but that would be embarrassing, calling them up, in tears, saying their groupmate broke up with you.

you hit the steering wheel for what it feels like the 99th time. you just know you're going to bruise up tomorrow.

that's when you had an idea.

jinyoung.

you and jinyoung have been friends for years, and you two were close. were. because jaehyun was incredibly jealous of him, which he had a reason, because you two are best of friends since highschool and jaehyun hated him, so much. thinking you could leave him for jinyoung.
