The Boy Next Door

35.

Heeseung's POV:

"Heeseung it's not your business." she says after looking at my father's flustered face although he only has one expression most of the time. Newsflash, it's not cute.

"It's all my business when it includes him." I say while pointing at him. I see his eyes trail to Chaewon making me follow his eyes and they land on her cheek.

I stare at her in confusion but all of a sudden, everything seems to click. Or rather my brain starts working again.

"Did you do this?" I ask in the most provoked tone I've ever spoken to him.

"Son you wi-" I cut him off by screaming loudly. I glance at Chaewon for a moment to see her looking at me in reassurance.

"Did you fucking touch her?? You disgust me. She's my everything and you want to take that too-" before I can continue the door creaks open.

"Oppa, we should go. We don't want to be late to our reservation." Yookyung says while clinging to my side.

I ignore her and look back to Chaewon but she's already giving me a look of disappointment. Shit.

"Congratulations on your marriage in advance. Goodbye, Heeseung." she says making me hold my chest in the immediate pain.

"No... No! Chaewon please... I need you." I shout while grabbing onto her arm. She shakes me off and walks off, looking weaker and thinner then ever.

"Its not over, you asshole." I say to my father before chasing after her.

"Chaewon! Wait!" I shout while grabbing her arm sleeve. I watch as she visibly stops and stares at my hand with fear in her eyes.

I quickly remove it and back away from fear doing anything irrational. I watch as her eyes that are usually bright and glowing, turn to a cold gaze.

"Your not my boyfriend or something. Stop acting like this." she says while pushing my hand away.

"Chaewon, he is a asshole, can't you see?? He's pushing us apart. I will respect that, but he's not someone to respect, Chaewon!" I say without raising my voice to not scare her.

"He's just doing what he thinks is right!! Who are you to judge if he's a bad person or not?! You don't know him like I do!!" she tries to shout at me but her voice is too long gone.

"I don't know, but I know he's cheated on you!!" I shout, but quickly wanting to take back my words. She stands in hatred instead of shock for a couple seconds before a tear role down her cheek.

"Chaewon-" I say before she slaps me across the face. It seems like she wanted to hit me hard but it looks like she doesn't want to, or can't.

"How dare you say that??!? Y-Y-You don't know anything!! Your just saying that, so I can break u-up with him." she says while mumbling something to herself.

"What's going on oppa? Let's go..." I hear Yookyung's annoying voice again.

"You should go with your future wife. I don't want to see your face anymore." she says before walking back to her house. I close my eyes tightly before she disappears forever so maybe it will turn into a dream.

No no no. This is not what I wanted to happen. Please Chaewon, please come back.

"You fucking ruined everything!!" I scream at Yookyung although I'm just mad at myself.

"You going to have to marry me, so don't be going and making stupid mistakes like this. I saved you. Now get your ass in the car, your friends are watching." she whispers while smiling towards a direction like nothing happened.

"Just go, Heeseung. She doesn't want to see you." Namjin yells to me with a disappointing look on her face.

"I'll see you tomorrow Heeseung. I don't know what happened but I don't think you can fix it." Sunghoon says before walking away, his bag in hand.

I can't fix it? No. This is just another one of our fights.

Chaewon's POV:

I run into my house ignoring all of my friends stares and worried looks. Cheating? He's just lying. Yea... I don't doubt Minwoo. 

"What did Heeseung do? Chaewon. Tell me." I see Jake demand with his jaw clenching. 

"Lie. He's a liar. I shouldn't trust him. Or you..." I mumble to myself to reassure myself. 

"Get out. All of you." I say while clenching my fists. When no one moves from my scratchy voice I swallow and decide to scream this time. 

"Get out!! Please. Leave." I shout while running to my room. I can't see in front of me anymore, due to the amount of tears in my eyes and the throbbing pain in my throat. 

Who do I trust now? My bestfriend of 13 years, gone. All because of me. It's all my fault. 

I slump down, my back to the door. I sit, completely still, just hoping this is a bad dream. Why do I have to go through all of this?

I touch my cold skin and jump up to my own touch, all the flashbacks running through my blood. I've been taken advantage of by, everyone. Hyunwoo, and now my friends. I don't have anyone anymore.

I finally get the courage to go to university, or rather the guilt of failing. I have to make my parents happy. They always say they don't care what I do but I know they secretly do. 

All I get from people are weird stares, whispering, and laughing even though I'm right in front of them. Did I make a grave mistake? Why is everyone's eyes on me. 

Hyunwoo got expelled and his friends don't seem to happy about it. They throw papers and trash at me sometimes when no one is watching. I let it slide since I did ruin someone's life. But do they not care how he ruined my life?

"Honey. Earth to Chae?" Namjin shouts in my ear making me calmly turn to her since her voice doesn't scare me anymore. But men's voices like my teachers sometimes scares me. 

We are in the library. I'm okay. I don't need to see a therapist. Sh

"Are you and Heeseung really over? It's exhausting seeing you two not together." Namjin says with a sigh. 

"Yes. I don't care about him anymore." I say softly. 

"Oh my goodness ew, why is he making out with that ugly ass girl? He's eating her face out." she says while looking in another direction. 

I glance over and see she isn't lying. He's in the corner with a girl who is fairly prettier then me though. I give a cold smile, just to show there's no hard feelings. I just can't look at him for too long, or even make eye contact since I still do love him the same. 

He's my bestfriend of 13 years, and I didn't think anything could break us but behold I broke everything. 

"Well, I'm going to get you guys to be at least friends again and you can't say anything about it, Byeee." she says while grabbing her bag and running away like she's committed a crime. 

I stare off into the big window in front of me, to distract myself from any of my problems. All my guy friends have been so nice to me but yesterday I drew the clear line that we can't be friends. 

So now I guess it's just Namjin and Jiwoo. Me and Jiwoo made up because she made some sort of a sincere apology and I forgave her since we've been friends for a while and I don't want to be the one to ruin it. 

"Chaewon?" I hear a deep familiar voice from right behind me. I can almost feel his hot breath on my neck and his presence is so everlasting engraved in my brain.
