She looked up at Eli, finally meeting his eyes and seeing the angry tears in them. She broke immediately.

"E..." She called for him, but he left the closet so they could talk in an open space. Then he turned to confront her once she was out the closet as well.

"How?" He started with.

Yeji threw her hands up, "I don't know! I didn't even know she liked girls!"

"Bullshit! You- You know everything about her! Did you do this on purpose?"

Yeji's jaw dropped, as if her heart didn't hurt enough.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" She chuckled, "Why would I do this to you?? Tell me what I would gain in making her fall in love with me, please, go ahead!"

"The fucking girl, Yeji! You got the fucking girl! She likes you!" Eli pointed to her with both hands, raising his voice.

"I didn't mean to make her fuckin— fall in love with me!" Yeji bit back. "You don't seriously think that I wanted this to happen. Had I known this would happen I wouldn't have wasted my time! Had I known this would have hurt her so bad, I wouldn't have even agreed to it-"

"I wanted you to help me get with her, Yeji. And instead I get this!"

"Are you fucking kidding me?? Are you fucking kidding me!!" Yeji screamed the second part, "I threw her at you every fucking chance I got, did you not hear her say that? It was obvious! It was so incredibly obvious!"

"Yet, you two nearly kissed and homecoming? My mom fucking died and you were dancing with my crush at homecoming? Really?"

"I didn't know your mom died, Elijah! And what was I supposed to do? Let her go home alone and disappointed?"

"Maybe not fucking slow dance with her! You two could've danced to upbeat music, but slow dance? You wanted her to fall for you-"

"I thought she was imagining that it was you!"

"Would you be using the same excuse if you two had really kissed? You wanted to kiss her, didn't you?'

"Did I kiss her, Elijah?"

"You wanted to."

"Did I though?"

"You wanted to, just admit it!"

"Yes I fucking did. I've wanted to kiss her the second I laid eyes on her! But I never did, because I was thinking of you!"

"Wow..."

"Oh, don't "wow." me... I joined the fucking baking club, befriended her in the first place, gave you every opportunity... and this is what I get. And this is all you see. The fact that she fell in love with me, that I pulled away when she tried kissing me and when I danced with her at homecoming. Ok. Let's just forget the way you've been asking me to put my life to the side for yours for every fucking second of these past four months."

"You know what? I really think... I think I just need to sleep on this." Elijah stormed out of the room, but before he left he spat at the brunette, "Did you really do enough if in the end, nothing you did worked out the way it should have?"

Then he slammed the door shut, only after seeing the hurt flash through Yeji's face.

He was having a mental breakdown. That's what it was. He was throwing it all at Yeji because he's close enough to her to let her see his ugly side. But it was a mental breakdown. It was. 

After losing his mother, he's been so desperate to fill that void in his soul. He's gotten so attached to the idea that Ryujin is the girl who will help fill that void. Elijah needs another woman in his life to love, not the way he did his mother, that love could never be replaced. But he just needs another woman to look up to and to care of.
