He regrets, but she doesn't [A Stray Kids FF]

24

Months have passed, since Minho and I went on our first date. After that, we went on as many dates as we could. We went to the beach, we went to a fancy restaurant, we went to an amusement park, we went shopping, we went to the funfair and so on.
The last months before his exams were pretty lonely, because he had to learn so much, that he barely had time for me.
I trained a lot for the national competition in gymnastics at that time, because I was going to participate there, so it wasn't that bad, that he had no time for me, so I could focus as well. I sometimes even visited him, just to be with him while he studied, but after a few times he didn't want me to visit him anymore, because we always ended up kissing, causing me to distract him. It was better in the end, because he finally could focus on his studies.
I was his date at the ball and we spent as much time as we could together, because he moved to Seoul to study modern dancing. There was a great university and it was his dream, so I let him go with an aching heart.

Seungmin and I got really close, since I spent much time with him because of Minho and later on Yeji when Minho left. Seungmin was the only person I was close to in school. Hyunjin seamed to have a hard time getting over me, causing him to change schools to his friends Bomin, Sanha and Daehwi. He was the schools most known boy and I think I don't need to explain why. Even though we started talking again, it was never like it used to be in the beginning. It was kinda burdensome because I really liked him as a friend but he couldn't handle the fact, that we're not meant for each other so it was often cringe and awkward. On top of that, Minho and I somehow got the couple of the school. Everyone was talking about Minho, how he suddenly looks so happy and about me, how I gained more confidence because of him. Minho suddenly wasn't the bad boy anymore but was the most popular boy alongside Hyunjin and everyone was jealous of me, because I was his girlfriend. In the beginning, they spoke a lot of us but then we ended up being the couple of the year, everyone was jealous of us, even though we didn't wanted to be that. Besides, everyone knew about the ‚Hyunjin Hyerin' drama and everyone knew that Hyunjin still had feelings for me.

When Minho left, everyone was gossiping about us. They said our relationship won't last long and that he'll get in touch with many young women, causing him to end up falling for them or even worse, that he will have a lot of girls in his bed. I was disgusted only because of the thought. Both of us were still virgins so why should he do it with some random girl he doesn't even know or love?
It's frightening what some people have on their minds. They were talking nicely about us but when he left, they were suddenly really mean again.

I was working at the café today.
Since Minho left, I met Chaeyeon pretty often. She told me some news about him and comforted me when I was missing him, what happened pretty often.

I had a bad day, because school was exhausting and I really missed Minho today, more then usual. I was on my period and really missed to cuddle him and be caressed by him. I was frustrated, because of my emotional and romantic self. When I was on my period, I was even more romantic and emotional, wich was exhausting. Either I wanted to cuddle Minho to dead or I watched dramas until I was sick of it at that time of month.

I wanted to bring customers their drinks, when I got stuck on the counter, dropping the glasses. It made a loud crash and everyone had their eyes on me.

„For God's sake, Aeri! You're a mess today and even caused a mess! Pull yourself together, okay??", my boss said annoyed.

I bowed several times, „I'm so sorry. I will do better. Mianhae."

„Let me help you.", I heard someone say, while I was on the ground, picking up the big shards.

„Minho...", I said shocked but relieved, wrapping my arms around his neck, digging my head in his collar.
