You know what I hate the most in the world. When you're in the middle of class and you really have to use the bathroom.
I hate it, even more, when your teacher refuses to let you use it. I now have to endure a 45-minute lesson waiting to use the bathroom.
Finally, the last bell of the day rang, and I booked it towards the door. I dashed through the halls, finding the closet woman's bathroom near me.
I finished relieving myself and was about to exit the stall, but someone slammed the bathroom door open.
"I can't believe this is happening to me again." The voice sounded very familiar.
"Yeji, calm down. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal." Another voice called out. I didn't notice the other girl entering the room.
"Chaeryeong, he canceled our anniversary date next week so that he could hang out with her. I don't even think he remembers that it is our anniversary."
No wonder the voices sounded so familiar; it was Yeji and Chaeryeong. There both Yeonjun new friends.
"Yeonjun loves you. Why wouldn't he remember?" Chaeryeong said in a relieving tone.
"If he loves me, why is he throwing me to the side for Ryujin again?" Yeji let out an agitated sigh.
As soon as I heard my name, I bit my lip. Why is she talking about me?
Yeji let out another groan. "He stopped being friends with her because she's got clingy, but now it seems like he's the clingy one."
Clingy?
Anger took over my body. I busted out of the stall and turned to Yeji and Chaeryeong, who had shocked faces.
"Ryujin...I," Yeji stuttered. Her face became pink. "I didn't know you were in there."
"Yeonjun thinks I'm clingy?" I asked. I didn't mean to, but my voice trembled.
"No." Yeji's eyes widened. "You misheard me." She held her hand out.
"I heard you clearly. You said Yeonjun stopped being friends with me because I was too clingy." I repeated her words clearly for her to hear. "Is that what he thought of me the whole time?"
"Ryujin, let m-" Before I could let Yeji finish, I stormed out of the bathroom. I head straight towards the exit of the school, looking for Yeonjun.
I found him waiting outside. A smile grew on his face as I approached him.
"You think I'm clingy?" I raised my voice.
"What?" He asked, shocked. "Who told you that?"
"Your girlfriend." I raised my voice even louder. Yeonjun's face was priceless. He couldn't even try to deny it. Just in time, Yeji came running behind me with Chaeryeong following her.
"You told her?" Yeonjun looked at Yeji, pissed.
"Not on purpose," Yeji responded, with a half set of tears in her eyes. I don't know why she's the one crying. I'm the one who should be angry right now.
"So, it's true." My eyes began to well up with tears. "All this time, I asked myself what I did wrong for you to abandon me like that." I directed my gaze to the ground. I couldn't look at him anymore.
"Ryujin. It's not like that. You have to let me explain. Our friendship means everything to me. We grew up together." Yeonjun placed his hand on my shoulders. "I care about you."
"Care about me? You can't say you care about me then suddenly cut me off and ignore me like I never exist. I was grieving, and you left me at the worst time possible." I pushed his hand off of me. "I hate you!" I yelled.
"Ryujin," Yeonjun said softly. He grabbed my hand, but suddenly another force came to push him off. I looked up, and it was Beomgyu staring intensely into Yeonjun's soul. He shoved Yeonjun's hand away and stood in front of me, grabbing my hand.
"Leave her alone," Beomgyu commanded. His voice was lowkey scary. I've never seen him get upset before. He was glaring hard at Yeonjun like he wanted to kill him.
Beomgyu turned to me, "Let's go home."
I don't know why, but I let Beomgyu drag me away from Yeonjun. Usually, I hate it when Beomgyu picks me up from school, but after today, he was the only face I wanted to see.
I could feel the tears falling down my face, but I ignored them.
