(Un)requited Love

11.

"Oh, my freaking fuck Dubs!" I exclaimed after hearing what she just said. I intently stared at her as she crouched down sighing deeply through the cold air.

"Who is he?! You have to spill all teas tonight." I added, I still can't recover from shock because of the sudden news. How come? How come we've never noticed?

"D-don't tell me you've given him already your VCard?!" I squealed my lungs out because of the frustration as I tried to shake her shoulders.

"Will you calm down?! And what VCard are you saying?! You green-minded cub." she finally let out poking my forehead with her index finger.

"It's not like that. H-he's not here. He's somewhere far away... I don't know." she explained. Her face lit up with a faint smile while she was talking but she looked down as soon as I noticed the changes in her expression. She started fiddling with her fingers as she get lost in her deep thoughts.

"You mean, your boyfriend is somewhere overseas and you don't know exactly where he is?!" I asked. She barely looked at me while nodding.

"That's good then. Your VCard is secured." I could only mentally slap myself after realizing what I just said. She glared at me with those staggering eyes of hers as if she would kill me the next moment I mention that VCard again.

"So anyways, how did you guys manage to keep your relationship? I mean long distance relationships sucks."

"I honestly don't know Chae. We don't have any communication." I could only face palmed because of what she just said. How am I going to put up with these things...

"What do you mean no communication? Are you like in a middle of a fight or something?" I asked again. My curious ass getting on me is way better than making her mad.

"I mean, he left without telling me where is he going. But he promised me that he will be back. And after that day, we lost contact with each other." she explained, her eyes have it's lingering tears on the side now. Is this why she looks brokenhearted?

"Then to conclude that I must say you're not officially in a relationship. You're not that dumb Dubs." I said trying to make things sound right but she just started to cry. I sighed in defeat as I decided to lean on her shoulder and patted her back.

"There's a lot of girls drooling over you, and you were here crying over a shitty guy." I murmured, enough for her not to hear it. We continued in that position and after a while, her sobs gradually stopped.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I would make a fuss over it." she chuckled awkwardly as she wiped the tear stains on her face. She then cleared her throat and pouted as she hung her arm on my neck.

"You're the first person to hear my rants. I hope you won't get mad at me again." she uttered giggling. I guess she can be moody sometimes.

"Whatever, but anyway. Let's do this again, this is fun you know? Just talking about our shitty lives." I laughed and gave her an encouraging smile as I wrapped my arms around her neck.

"Thanks, Chae. I was relieved to finally let out some things."

JEONGYEON'S POV

As soon as we all parted ways from the school gate. I grabbed Mina's hand as we walk. She was spacing out probably because she just fought with Chae earlier. That smol bean is too hard-headed and I witnessed how Mina tried to persuade her every day about talking with Dahyun. I don't know the whole story behind it but they told me that Chae can't help Momo because she doesn't know her best friend well. Even I find it stressful but I guess I don't have the right to meddle in their issue since I can't even solve mine.
