love is stupid

"Taerim it's school, you already were supposed to leave," my mom opened the door, seeing me covered completely under my blanket. I was too emberassed to face him. No.. I didn't want to see him. I was hurt, I admit. I felt stupid for believing him. Too fooled to walk around school while everyone probably noticed us not dating no more.

"Wake up," she spoke up once again. "I'm staying home, I'm not feeling well," I mumbled, but she suddenly removed my blanket. "My god, why is your face so puffy and your eyes red? Hold up, did you cry?" She questioned. "Me, crying?" I scoffed. "When do I do that?" She nodded. "Right, you don't cry. Girls don't cry, Taerim, so go to school." I turned around. "Still, I don't feel too good. I have a headache and my stomach hurts too," I complained. "1...2" I groaned. "Mom, you don't get it! I have a life crisis." I sat up. "You're eighteen, what crises can you probably ha....Wait, no you didn't." I sighed. "Right, we did. So let me not face him today. Please," I begged, laying back down.

She just casually closed the door again as I thanked her deeply for that.

I slid my hand out to grab my phone.

You
I'm not coming today

Akari
Are you not feeling well? Get well soon

You
Thank u<3 I'm alright, just a slight headache

I opened the chat of Minho and me. The last messages:

Weird guy
It was fun, even though it didn't went as we planned. I meant to give you a good bye kiss but I was in a hurry :((

You

Weird guy
It's never enough

You

You

Weird guy
Forget the future, we live now

You
Don't be poetic

Weird guy
Fine, I love you

I still didn't respond to the message he wrote last Saturday...I didn't know how, I didn't know if he was maybe just joking because he says those things so easily. But now I know, it was all played.
My face started to slowly pout on it's own as I was begging for my tears to not come out...Not because of him, please not.

Ji-kyoungs POV

I weirdly tilted my head, spotting Minho sitting alone at the table. He supported his face in his hands, looking like he was in a heartbreaking and lonely drama scene. He stared onto the table, while his state seemed as if he didn't even sleep a bit last night. Almost like he would want you to pity him. It was a tragic view to look at while eating. I wondered where Taerim was to comfort him. I haven't seen her today. She shouldn't leave her boyfriend upset like that. Afterwards, I saw Akari stopping shortly to let out a sigh by looking at him, but ended up choosing to continue to walk. "Hey, I'll be back in a minute." I stood up.

"My god, why making such a face? Look at the beautiful weather outside." I placed my hand on his shoulder, causing him to quickly snap back. "Oh Hyung..hi" I sat down beside him. "Where's Taerim?" I questioned, but he didn't even bother to look around. "I don't think you should search for her near me anymore. She's probably on the other side of the school. Better this way." I widened my eyes. "Don't tell me..." he gave me a thin smile. "I'll go now." I stood up after him. "Why.. I mean, what happened? At the weekend, everything seemed to be fine." He shrugged. "I don't think....I don't think we should be friends either." Is he sinking into self-pity or what? But he made it sound quite hurting. I hope he didn't treat Taerim like that as well. "What was the reason?" I asked. "We just don't fit." He grabbed his bag. You can't tell me he doesn't give a fuck about this. His eyes said something else.
