your relationship with her was going perfectly fine, you'd lie to your parents. you had a date with her, your excuse to get out of yet another discussion about her. you would be lying if you say that your relationship was as perfect as everyone deemed it to be.
❝i'm sure you'll marry each other one day.❞
❝you two are so perfect for each other.❞
it was tiring to act like you didn't know what she had been doing behind your back, but you kept quiet about it. after all, you were a fool in love. seo soojin, that was the name of the woman you've fallen in love. you aren't sure about what she feels about you, though.
one day, it was all going great- she's doing what she normally does, tending to you when she notices that something was wrong, making you smile when you were feeling down, worrying about your health, constantly nagging you to eat, and many more. it was all going great, perfect if you dare say.
until it wasn't.
you've been noticing the way she had distanced herself from you, ditching a few dates, forgetting about certain events, and many more to the point you will be exhausted to list. it was weird, to say the least but what can you do? you noticed that her love was still there, so of course, like a fool, you turned blind eyed at the red flags she had been showing- all the while hoping that your intuitions are wrong.
it wasn't until that day had happened, did your suspicions was proven true. you and soojin were just hanging out, she was on the shower, changing her clothes into something more comfortable. your attention was on the television that showcased the drama you've been binging, immersed into it.
you didn't noticed it at first, but by the second lightening up of your precious girlfriend's devicd, your heart dropped. there it shows a message from 'darling <3' and you were quite sure that you weren't texting her at that exact moment. it happened fast, you heard the door of the bathroom opening and you scrambled to act like you just didn't saw the message.
the seo was drying her hair with the towel you've brought for her in your first anniversary, walking towards the couch you were sitting on- unaware of your discovery. you felt yourself tensing up when she sat beside you, opening her phone with that smile that she used to give you. though, it disappeared when she turned to you, replaced by a fake smile. ❝you didn't happen to peek on my phone, didn't you, n/n?❞
oh how sweet did her voice sounded in your ears, but fake. it was all fake. ❝not at all, soojin. why, do you have a secret in that phone that you don't want me to find out?❞ your playful tone caught her off guard, suddenly wary of you. mostly because you called her by her birth name, it was always jin or soo. ❝so you did go through my phone. don't you trust me at all?❞
❝why are you defensive, all of a sudden? i didn't say anything about going through your phone.❞
❝i know you did, y/n.❞
❝oh now, you know everything. oh well, i know something too, soojin.❞
your mischievous grin never left your lips, but you were petrified in the inside. you know what would be the risk of suddenly exposing her acts of cheating, but you have had enough of it. ❝know something? what do you know, y/n? you don't know anything.❞
❝ah, of course. sure, i didn't know how you've been seeing that girl again for the past months.❞ you smiled innocently, heart breaking slowly but you knew that being miserable wasn't the choice as of now. soojin scoffed, thinking her way to get out of this situation. ❝what are you saying? i'm not seeing anyone at all.❞
you rolled your eyes at the audacity of this woman. though, you were trying your best to not breakdown in front of this manipulative girl. ❝gaslighting me into thinking that you never cheated on me wouldn't do anything, seo soojin. you've done enough, get out of my sight and never show your face to me again.❞
❝i wasn't gaslighting you? you're just making up stories at this point, y/n. why are you suddenly playing the victim? shouldn't i be the one playing that? are you that desperate for my attention?❞ it was clear that the argument would last longer than you hope it would.
giving a sigh of disappointment, you stood up collecting your phone and wallet before trudging towards the door. ❝you're leaving? as expected from you, you're always running away from problems you've created.❞ that made you stop at your tracks and to glare on the woman from your shoulders, not bothering to turn around. ❝it's not funny anymore, seo. i only put up with that cheating of yours, i was just trying to find a timing to break this toxicity actually.❞ lies.
❝now, you're ending our relationship? can you even go on with your life without me?❞
❝of course. i'm independent, after all.❞
you gave her a last smile before it turned into a frown once you've slammed the door shut, suddenly feeling the rush of mixed emotions building up on your chest. but you didn't let it out, convincing yourself to move and pay a visit to a friend.

you weren't the someone jeon soyeon had expected to see at such a late hour, not looking like you've been through hell at that. nicha yontararak had also went on the front door, curious as to why the jeon had been taking so long in taking the food they've ordered, only to gasp in surprise when she saw how messed up your overall appearance was. ❝hey, what happened to you? did you and seo soojin fought again?❞
at the mention of that name, you looked away with a slight nod. it caused the two to grimace and led you inside their shared space, song yuqi casually resting on the couch when she saw you, face turning hard. ❝you know, i've always had a bad feeling at soojin. it feels like she's still in love with her ex.❞ yuqi spoke after assessing the situation, but her focus was back on her phone in an instant.
❝i just didn't want to ruin such a perfect relationship so i didn't say anything.❞
of course, that word again.
perfect.
it wasn't always butterflies and rainbows with your relationship with her. it was still rocky despite of her gentle nature, you could see her smiling on her phone from time to time but chose to brush it off like it was so normal to do so. you were an idiot in love, indeed.
❝hmph, i'm just glad you've already ended things with that jerk.❞ minnie absolutely hated soojin's guts. in fact, she was the first one to notice the red flags and helped you to finally end your toxic relationship. you lightly chuckled, not really wanting to show just how heavy your heart was feeling.
soyeon couldn't help but to agree, also hating on your now ex even before the relationship between you started. ❝she's been nothing but a red flag since college yet you still had dated her, nonetheless. one of your dumbest decision, honestly. i was starting to think that you're kind of colourblind, n/n.❞ yuqi couldn't help but to laugh, though, softening her look when she saw just how affected you were of your recent break up.
so without another thought, she stood up and offered her hands to you. ❝come, we're gonna have some ice cream. my treat.❞ you smiled slightly at her and slowly accepted her hand, now feeling the heaviness melting away.
you could use some distractions.
