IS THIS THE END?

❝If it weren't with me,
who could you possibly fall in love?❞

—the black skirts, who do you love.

it felt different because I was always the first person to wake up before everyone. i didn't know why but it felt as though my ears were finally functioning—I could hear everyone being noisy about being late.

I heard them shouting to each other, then their heavy footsteps and the shuffling sounds from the rooms between mine. as if I had a super power, I could hear them clearer than normal, or was it because I didn't sleep at all.

my mind was all over the place as I was trying to think of ways to stop hyemi from deciding the breakup but no matter what idea that came up, I just knew that it wouldn't work because I hurt her so badly.

I sat up straight and shifted to the side to get up from the bed. "oh come on! I told you to not use my underwear, you moron!" I heard yoongi shouted from the outside. I picked up my phone that was resting on the floor, and I received more than ten missed calls from chohee.

"hey, hey! guys, let's eat breakfast first!" shouted seokjin while tapping the counter with something which I assumed was his spatula. I sighed heavily and threw my phone on the bed before I opened my door just to see hyemi opening her room door as well.

she quickly diverted her eyes when we made eye contacts, "hyemi—" I paused as I remembered her request last night. I told her to think about it again because both of us were still young and immature. she turned around and waited for me to continue, but I shook my head, "nothing."

"let's have breakfast," her voice was gentle and rather slow. she continued to walk ahead to the kitchen with the others. I blinked my dried lips before I followed her from behind, then my heart began to pound harder because everyone was looking at me.

they were watching hyemi as she sat down, and then they looked at me with pure hatred. "good morning everyone," I tried to break the tensed atmosphere, but they just scoffed and rolled their eyes before they continued to eat.

"thank you for the meal, seokjin." she flashed a weak smile and it broke my heart the fact that I haven't made her smile ever since I left her all alone. "today, I'll try to visit my mum again if I can," she told us with a sigh in the end.

namjoon placed his cutlery on the table near his plate and then he patted hyemi's head gently, "you went through a lot, if you need someone to take you there, you can always call me, the hospital isn't that far from my part time," he assured her with his clumsy smile.

"yeah, you know that we'll be there for you!"

she hung her head low with her hand slowly wiping her eyes, "thank you guys." she sniffed shortly after, and then she lifted her head again to show us her beautiful grin—my shoulders drop as I starred at her face.

once we were done with breakfast, they all got ready with their part-time uniform, even hyemi. she sat down on the floor to wear her white sneakers. I noticed that everyone had left the room except for hyemi, so I approached her and helped her with her shoelaces.

"I miss you," I whispered when she was about to push my hands way, "I know I was dumb to leave you and ignore you. I thought it would be the last time I see her but she fainted in my arms, so I brought her to the hospital and the doctor said she had a cancer."
