Best friend | Lizrei

Chapter 10 - Theres's still time

Rei

"I don't know.. maybe it was. I just regret it"

Those words stabbed me. My stomach felt twisted and my heart shattered. Part of me already knew but actually hearing it from her hurt even more.

"Really? Because I don't regret any of it"

I lowered my head not being able to look at her. My eyes shut as soon as my vision blurred. Tears fell instantly even if I tired to stop it.

"I guess the roles have been switched now. Haha.." My head raised and I gave her the weakest smile as that's all I could do.

"I'm sorry" She made her to the door which was right behind me.

As she got closer, I abruptly wrapped my arms around her, preventing her from walking any further. "Rei.."

"Please.. just one last time and I promise to get over you"

No movements were made, only forcing me to hold on longer. "Our friendship will never be the same" she spoke, almost whispering.

She hugged me back, arms on my shoulders, one hand playing with me hair. "I'm so sorry"

Liz

Maybe I'll be able to feel in love with her again. Maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to look at each other and know how much we love one another. No pain, no confusion. Even if it were just for a moment.

Yujin-unnie and Gaeul-unnie left to buy groceries for dinner, leaving us 04s and Leeseo at home.

Rei and Leeseo played around with bubbles, Wonyoung taking photos of them and joining in. I watched from the outdoor swing seat, smiling at my friends enjoying their time.

"Please.. just one last time and I promise to get over you"

But I don't know if I want her to get over me. Yes I've lost feelings but I haven't completely gotten over her, there's still a part of me that wants her as much.

Rei is my best friend and I don't wanna lose her. But how am I supposed to fix things when I can't even sort out myself. I'm trying, I really am, but I just don't know and I hate myself for it.

"Hey guys, I'm just going for a walk" I waved to them, leaving without saying anything else.

Rei

As Liz walked away, Wonyoung and Leeseo decided to go back inside.

"I'll go with Liz so she isn't by herself"

Wonyoung nodded "I'll text you when Yujin-unnie and Gaeul-unnie are here"

We waved and went seperate ways, Wonyoung followed Leeseo and I followed Liz.

Judging by the fact that I called her name four times and yet I received no answer, she was listening to music.

I walked faster to get closer her but my phone began ringing nonstop. In the distance, I saw Liz enter a house, hugging the person who let her in.

Princess Wonyo:

"Yah! Where are you?! Why aren't you replying to my messages? Are you with Liz? Did you fight?"

"I don't know where I am. I just followed Liz but she didn't seem to hear me. She went into a house I don't know whose house but someone"

"Come back"

"What about Liz?"

"She's fine, Chaewon-unnie is her cousin"

"Chaewon-unnie?"

"Yeah now come back!"

Call ended

Liz

"You know who I always say you remind me of someone?"

I gave her a simple nod.

"Now I remember. Kim Minju"

She smiled weakly. "I know you're situation very very well. I've been through it and the path you're going in now will lead you to where I am. Not with her. And I regret it because she's all I think about, all day everyday"

"But how do I fix whatever is happening between us?" The same question I always ask myself.

"How can you fix something that's broken but not know why it's broken? From what I see, you still like her, a lot. I think you're just afraid to go back to what hurt you. I mean who wouldn't? I ran away from Minju. Worst decision I ever made. All that hurt that you've built up is covering your true feelings for her. Let go of the past, she's here now, you still have a chance" She gave me a reassuring smile.

"Thank you unnie, I think I know what to do now. And you know... Minju-unnie misses you, she told me herself" I said with a grin, making her curious. "Bye unnie. Come by the house, I'm sure Wonyoungie and Yujin-unnie will be happy to see you"
