The boy I must forget

Fake girlfriend

It had been a week since my mother had left my apartment and placed the idea of forgetting him on my head again. I was tutoring him and he was doing well, his grades were higher than they had ever been and he understood everything I explained to him. I thought that it was a good time to tell him about me quitting. "Heeseung, you know that your grades are really good and that you finally everything, right?" I asked him. He nodded. "Well, it's time that we stop these lessons, I can't teach you anything else." I continued. He stared at me with his eyes wide open. Before he could speak I placed books in front of him and smiled. "If you have any questions, you can check in these books, I made them for you." I told him.

We both said goodbye to each other and I left the library. As I walked away from the building, the tears in my eyes started to fall, I couldn't believe that I wasn't going to see him anymore. I cried all the way from the library to my apartment, when I got inside, I jumped on my couch and let my tears fall even more. I didn't take off my shoes and the way that my heart clenched every time Heeseung's face popped up in my head made me feel even more sad and the tears fell even more. I couldn't take this, forget him after all that had happened was going to be hard. We shared two kisses together, one that felt real and another one that felt weird.

As I laid in my couch, I remembered all the times I was with Heeseung, from the day we first met to today. He was always nice to me, that was what made me fall in love with him in the first place. Now, I did what my parents wanted me to do and I needed to find ways to forget him. I was lost in my thoughts when my phone started to ring. I looked at my screen and saw Jacob's name pop up. "Hello?" I said in the phone. "Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with something today." He told me. I answered him that I had nothing to do and would be glad to help him. We both hung up after he told me the time and place we had to met. I laid in my couch until it was time for me to leave my apartment and find Jacob.

I left my building and walked to the park in front of a beautiful lake, the water was dancing with the fishes and the wind made my hair cover my face. As I was trying to move my hair from my face, someone tapped my shoulder. I tuned around to see my friend Jacob smiling at me. "Hi." He said to me. "You look beautiful." He continued. I smiled back at him and he started to walk towards a bench. "I had to ask you for help because you're the only person I could think of to help me with this." He told me. "What is it?" I had to ask him. "Would you be my fake girlfriend?" He asked.

I stared at him for a long time, my mouth and eyes opened as wide as they could. Before I could even open my mouth, he waved him hands in front of my face and shook his head. "It's not what you think, I just need you for one night. I told my friend that I had a girlfriend so that he could stop trying to set me up with a girl but now he wants to meet my girlfriend. I didn't tell him that it was you but he opened my phone and saw a picture of us together and assumed, you know." He told me quickly. After he had told me the situation he was in, I couldn't refuse him so I said yes. His eyes lit up and he hugged me tightly.

The excitement in his voice almost told me that he was happy about this situation, him and me going out, even if it's just for one night. He pushed the thought aside and tied to smile to him and play it as if I was happy too. We continued to walk around the park after our conversation and he told me all I needed to know about his friend. He was nice but weird, he had an obsession with finding a girlfriend for Jacob and wasn't giving up until he was with his girlfriend for more than a month. I asked him if he dated any of the girls that his friend found for him and he told me yes but not for more than a week. We talked and laughed until I had to go home.

He said goodbye to each other and both went our separate ways. The only thing on my mind was the dinner with his fried that was happening the tomorrow. I went home and slept the whole night without thinking or dreaming about Heeseung. When I woke up the next day, Jacob had already texted me to tell me all about the place where we would be eating later in the day. I went to read all about the restaurant online and found out that it was a classy place so I had to where something kinda chic. The day went by fast and Jacob was on his way to pick me up. I had put on a tight black dress that stopped mid thigh with a white blouse. I had put on my most beautiful shoes, black high heels.

Jacob knocked on my door and we both left my building to go and meet his friend. When we arrived at the place, his friend was waiting for us at a table in the back of the restaurant. We sat on the chairs in front of him while he told me how happy he was to meet me. We talked about Jacob and me for a good time until he changed the conversation to sports. Jacob and his friends were talked deeply about football when a group of boys caught me eyes. Seven boys sat down beside us and one of them made me turn my head towards them. Heeseung was sitting with his friends, laughing.
