Felix's POV
"I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore," Hyunjin says.
"W-what do you mean?" I ask, even though I already know, my voice trembling as I speak.
"I think we should break up," he sighs.
"No, please..."
"This is for the best."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'FOR THE BEST'?"
"I'm sorry."
"Fine," I huff.
As I run out of my now ex-boyfriend's house, I look back to see Hyunjin standing in the doorway, looking just as broken as I am. Fucking bastard, what right does he have to be sad?
I can still remember him saying "I love you for eternity" so clearly. A sole teardrop rolls down my cheek as I look back one last time.
Hyunjin isn't there anymore, which for some reason hurts me. I take off down the long streets lined with perfectly huge houses, as if trying to outrun the crushing pain.
"I love you for eternity," Hyunjin's loving voice still lingers in the back of my mind.
I feel all the hurt crashing into me all at once as I stop, gasping for breath. Tears fill my eyes ans streak down my face, dropping down onto the sidewalk at my feet. I look up at the sunset, the same beautiful sunset we used to watch together once upon a time.
I guess this is where eternity ends.
Hyunjin's POV
"I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore," I say. The words feel like daggers dragging up my throat, filling my mouth with the sharp, bloody taste of pain.
"W-what do you mean?" he asks, even though we both know. His deep voice trembles as he speaks.
"I think we should break up," I sigh. Please don't make this longer than it has to be, it hurts enough as is, I think.
"No, please..."
"This is for the best."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'FOR THE BEST'?" he screams.
"I'm sorry," I whimper.
"Fine," he huffs. A fresh stab of pain pierces through my heart, replacing the dull throb that had been growing all day. Look calm, just as you practiced in front of the mirror, I think to myself.
As he runs out of the front door of my house, he looks back at me as I stand in the doorway, feeling as broken as he looks. What right do I have to be sad? I am the one who hurt him.
I long to call out to him, to run after him and grab his small hands and hold them in mine forever, I don't. This is for the best, I remind myself. This is to keep him safe. I close the door and come back inside the house. As soon as I'm inside, I collapse onto the floor, letting my loud sobs take over me.
"I love you for eternity," I had told him. I would't have said that if I knew I would break him like this. I look out the window to see the sunset Felix and I would watch together every evening while whispering sweet nothings and sharing gentle kisses. Back then, I really beleived we would be together for eternity.
This must be the end of eternity.
