1st January 1986

The best day has turned into the worst. I hate this. If only God made me prettier, maybe, just maybe, he would've stayed. But what did I expect?

The school's best athlete and the best student can't date.

It sounds ridiculous. I thought it was just a stereotypical thought that made my heart uneasy, but I was foolish for thinking otherwise.

10 seconds before the clock struck 12 and marked the beginning of a new year, probably the most loathed words rolled off his tongue.

"We should break up."

I knew Bae Minyoung would beat me one day. She's had eyes on Taehyun forever, and it was weird that Taehyun didn't. She was way prettier than I could ever be, even her name is pretty.

Bae Minyoung and Kang Taehyun.

Lee Chaeryeong and Kang Taehyun.

It just didn't sound right. I let him go just like that.

I didn't even get my new year's kiss.

6th January 1986

I knew I should have gone to Chaeyeon's college. Now I'm at this stupid affiliated college where we share the same stupid hallway with the stupid high schoolers.

Ridiculously stupid.

Everyone was staring, and I knew it wasn't because I dyed my hair red. It's because they saw Kang Taehyun and Bae Minyoung holding hands in the corridor earlier.

It was ironic that it was just a year ago that Taehyun and I got the 'Best Couple Award'. One part of me wanted to throw that certificate out of the window, but I couldn't knowing that Taehyun's was probably already in the trash.

Lee Chaeryeong, the girl that pitied even a petty certificate.

Ridiculously stupid.

5th February 1986

A month passed and I, thankfully, have never bumped into Taehyun or Minyoung. Yet.

The stares and whispers had died down, but that aching feeling in my heart was still there. Mainly because of the rumors.

Everyone thinks I was the culprit, that's why I'm the sad one and Taehyun's busy frolicking with attractive Minyoung. I want to throw a fit and snitch on Taehyun whenever someone gives me a dirty look.

But I can't.

Cuz I still love him.

Taehyun maneuvered his way as he balanced on his skateboard, his earphones tucked snuggly in his ears as it blasted his favorite song. He skated to his destination mindlessly having been forced to go out for dinner with his parents for his birthday.

Seeing the familiar house come into view, he slowed to a stop as his eyes strayed up to the window which provided the attic a view of the road below. Or in this case, a view from Chaeryeong's room.

Seeing Chaeryeong sitting at the window sill reading a book, he bit back a smile as he resisted the urge to throw a rock at the window to gain her attention, an old habit of his.

He continued watching her as she released a sigh, holding up a necklace with a disappointed look on her face. Upon further inspection, Taehyun realized that it was the locket he gifted her when he promised her he would always love her.

Taehyun swallowed a lump in his throat as his chest tightened, his eyes growing teary. Tears threatened to spill down his cheeks as he watched sorrowfully as Chaeryeong laced the necklace over her neck.

He quickly looked away from the window when she leaned the side of her head on the window and let her eyes wander down the street. Taehyun quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeve before quickly skating off, beating his heart as he pleaded mentally for it to stop aching.

Update: He's hurting too...is this a sign?
