Chapter 1

( I wish I were her... )

Jungwon assumed that he could introduce himself to Jay's friend and so he did. It was the start which eventually led to an end to their relationship.

"Are you fucking crazy?!" Jay yelled as Jungwon sobbed and continuously apologized. "Because of you..." he let go off Jungwon's hair and pulled his own hair trying not to let his anger make him do anything worse.

"I'm sorry jay, I'm so sorry I really didn't mean to. I didn't kno-" Jungwon's right cheeked tingled while his ears ringed. For a second, he couldn't make out what just happened. He put his palm on his cheek realising that he got slapped, in front of a lot of people.

Now, he was always aware of Jay's anger issues but he never got physical. This was shocking. Maybe he was just overreacting since to be fair, jungwon is the reason why jay doesn't have his friends anymore.

If he had only known that Jay's friends were homophobic and would go making fun of him because of it. If only he had known that Jay was ashamed of himself and even Jungwon.

Would things have been different if he didn't walk up to his friends and introduce himself as Jay's boyfriend?

It doesn't even matter anymore.

"Wonwon!" Jinyee exclaims as she runs to hug him. "I haven't seen you in about 2 weeks now. What's going on? Are you okay?" she asks worried for his well being.

"Yeah I just... is your boyfriend at home right now?" Jungwon asks, not bothering to hug his best friend back.

"Why... is that a problem?" She asked, resting her shoulder on the doorframe. Her eyebrows almost touch each other with all the concern present in her forehead.

"i saw him last night, with you. at the grocery store." Jungwon admitted.

"Why didn't you approach us then? I'm telling you, he's going to love you so much! We're similar, hell, we're the same person but different genders. Of course he'll like you." Jinyee smiled and combed Jungwon's hair with her fingers.

"Come on in, I'll introduce you to him."

Jungwon took a step back, "I'm not sure about that... " he tried to peek in and see if his ex was anywhere near the door.

"I know I've dated shitty guys in the past and you hated all of them." Jinyee sighs. "I've learnt my worth, won." she smiles again. "Jay is the best boyfriend I could ever ask for."

Jungwon's pupils dilated, "Jay? H-his name is Jay?" He was hoping he saw wrong, hoping that wasn't his ex but as people say, "The world's a small place."

Just then, a tall, slightly muscular guy walked to the door. "Who is it, babe?"

JW : That's it. I want to kill myself. We made eye contact. We made eye contact. He looked shocked. He looked a afraid. Probably because he thought I would snitch on him, tell my bestfriend what he did to me.

I wasn't an asshole. I was... I was a loser. I was the problem.

Jay cleared his throat, preparing to pretend he's never heard of Jungwon before and only in the conversations Jinyee would bring him up about.

"Hey, your name...?" Jay asked, putting a fake smile on his face.

JY : It hurt like hell, seeing him again. The worst part was that he could rat me out and I'd lose Jinyee. I love her. More than I ever loved him. More than I'll ever love him. I loved him.

Jungwon had a neutral face, no fake smile, no hate in his eyes. "Call me Jungwon. I'm her bestfriend."

Jay put his hand forward for a handshake but Jungwon pretended he didn't see it and walked inside.

Jinyee laughed. "He's like that sometimes but he's still the guy who saved me from... yeah let's not talk about that right now."

Jay watched as Jungwon sat on the bean bag and pulled out his phone from his pocket. He turned it on and started scrolling through his instagram. He didn't want to talk or even look at Jay.

Jinyee sat next to Jay on the couch across from it. "I'm basically a babysitter as you can see." Jinyee commented and Jay softly laughed.

JW : I fucking hate it here. Should I just tell her about our past? How long will we keep pretending to not know each other? How did he change so much? Was I the problem?
