Sad girl: Seonghwa

"HOW COULD YOU?!" I scream in disbelief, my anger and sadness clouding my mind completely, resulting in me simply not caring about who might hear me.

"Y/n, babe, please just listen to me-"

"Don't you dare babe me after everything you've done! And no, I won't listen to you and your excuses, not anymore. We're done" I take a few steps back and take one last disappointed and disgusted look at the man I was supposed to be able to trust, the man I was so in love with just a few moments ago.

I turn around and push through the crowd of dancing drunk people, the tears I've been holding back finally running down my cheeks and ruining my makeup.

I can sense an overwhelming feeling taking over my body, my chest incredibly tight. Oh God, I can't breathe-

Clutching at my chest I finally reach a heavy door and quickly exit the club. I immediately lean on the nearest wall and my body sinks to the ground. Fresh air finally reaches my lungs, letting me breathe.

But it doesn't soothe the painful ache in my heart.

I release a shaky breath and unstoppable sobs leave my lips. I desperately grab my hair, my head hitting the hard wall.

"W- wh- why? W-why wou-would he do th-this to me?" I am barely able to say as the knot in my throat and chest tightens with every word.

As I continue sitting all alone, only accompanied by my shattered heart, the door beside me suddenly opens, making me slightly jump.

With a pool of tears clouding my vision, I can only see a blurred, tall figure stepping out in front of me.

"Hey, are you okay?" the person asks in a deep voice, making me lift my shaky hands to harshly wipe my soaked skin, as if it's not already incredibly obvious that I'm having the mental breakdown of the century.

I stare at the persons legs, as it's the only thing directly in front of me, and I somehow manage to say: "Y-yep, having a blast"

"Sorry, that was a stupid question" he apologizes, making a tiny chuckle escape my lips.

"A laugh, that's a good sign" he says, and I finally have the guts to look up at the unknown guy.

My puffy and bloodshot eyes move upward, scanning his slim but still masculine figure, and when I finally reach his face my lips part in surprise.

Yo, what the f*ck  I think to myself, because like, what the f*ck? What a fine ass specimen.

B*tch snap out of it, you just broke up with your boyfriend. This is the last thing you need to be thinking.

Before I get to do or say anything else, the man sits next to me on the cold ground.

"Rough night?" he asks, making me sigh.

"If only you knew" I respond with a sniffle, staring at the dark night-sky full of stars.

"Wanna talk about it?" he asks calmly, also looking up at the sky.

"Well, long story short, I just caught my boyfriend with his tongue shoved down some random girl's throat- and the worst part is that this is not the first time this has happened. So yeah, I'm officially done with that motherf*cker" I say with an ironic, yet bitter smile on my face.

"Well sh*t" he says in a dry tone, making me chuckle yet again.

"You can say that again"

"Hey, how do burgers and milkshakes sound?" he says and my face lights up.

"Hell yeah"

Alright so, we went to this cozy diner and are having a delicious meal that's honestly momentarily healing my depression.

I find out that his name is Seonghwa, that he's 25 years old and comes from Sacheon-si. We have a great time just discussing funny anecdotes and laughing like there's no tomorrow.

"So what will you do after this?" he  curiously asks, and I look up at him from my milkshake.

"Um, I suppose just go home and continue my breakdown. You know, the one you interrupted?" I answer nonchalantly.

"Okay, that's not happening. How about you spend the night with me? You shouldn't be alone" he responds and I process this.

That actually sounds great, but um... I don't actually freaking know this guy- he could be the next Jeffrey Dahmer for all I know. But looking at my other options- aka going home, eating a bucket of ice cream and crying myself to sleep all alone, I come to a conclusion.

Awh, f*ck it

"Fine, but no funny business. I just got out of a relationship and I don't want you getting the wrong impression" I say crossing my arms.

"Don't worry about that, I'm just your new bestie" he says smiling widely, making me giggle.

Maybe this night isn't so bad after all?
