Life Was Colorless, Until You Came

14# True Love Is In Another Person

"I'm not begging you to stay, Liwoun. I know what I did. I cheated, and I hurt you. If you stay, things are just gonna get worse. It won't change anything." What Taehyun didn't know was that Liwoun really wanted to stay. But she had to tell herself no cause Taehyun didn't want her to stay. "But why did you cheat? We were just fine a week ago. What happened?..." - "I lost interest, Liwoun. After you told me that Soobin confessed his feelings for you, I didn't even know what to do. I didn't even know if I wanted to love you anymore." Taehyun fell out of love. He tried to stay interested in Liwoun but he just can't. It was almost like he was bored of her, was it really love? "I never made any promises that I can't keep. And one of those promises that I can't keep is to love you forever, Liwoun."

"Why am I not hurt, Taehyun? Why do I feel empty?..." Taehyun felt the same thing Liwoun was feeling, he wasn't hurt either. He knew what was going on, but he's too scared to admit that it wasn't love at all. But he has to or else Liwoun will keep asking herself the same question. Why wasn't I hurt? "We've got to known eachother before getting together. And it's been two months since we've been in this relationship. Two months and we already know eachother like we've been friends for five years. I'm scared to admit this cause I know that you'll think those two months were a waste, but I have to atleast say this so you'll have the answer to your question." Liwoun stayed quiet waiting for what he's about to say, she isn't expecting anything at all. But she knows she won't like what Taehyun's gonna say.

"It wasn't love."

This is a lesson for you, don't date a random korean guy that you just met in a highschool. It's worse if you're japanese, five foot six, and can't speak any korean. "All of it ends just like this. You don't need to tell me anything because I can see you're about to recite a ten paragraph essay just by looking at your eyes." Liwoun slightly smiled, but she still felt empty. A little haha before they break-up! "This'll be our last time seeing eachother, and also the last time that we'll talk to eachother. But I don't want you to forget me and those two months. Even though it wasn't love, I still made you happy. Just like a friend." - "Thank you for being a good person to me, Taehyun." He smiled as he pulled Liwoun into a hug.

"If love isn't in between us, then it's probably in another person. Maybe you can find it in Soobin- no, I'm just joking. Who knows? Anyways, thank you for staying with me for two months. It might not have been that much, I'm just glad that I met you. Thank you, Liwoun."

"Gosh, I can't even write straight now." Soobin slammed his pen down on the table and closed his notebook as he looked at his hands. He noticed that his hand's have been trembling since the moment he woke up, but he doesn't know exactly why it was like that. "What? Do I have some kind of sickness now? Or this is just a side effect of only having two hours of sleep?..." Soobin let out a big sigh like he was a father seeing his son acting gay. He didn't even know what to do anymore. He lives alone so that explain alot. It wasn't long before he realized that he still had the two hundred pictures he took yesterday at the museum. Soobin reached for his bag on his bed and grabbed the pictures. "This is alot. Damn... I really felt like I was dispatch yesterday." He looked through each picture, he felt proud cause it looked good. But do you know what picture that really caught his attention? The picture of him together with Liwoun.

"If only I wasn't pissing myself out of nervousness yesterday, I would've kissed that shithead on the lips."

Coming from a mentally unstable person that almost committed suicide.

"Shut the hell up, pig. I'll bang your head in a wall as many times I want like I'm practicing volleyball."

Damn, chill...

Soobin couldn't see the picture that he took of Liwoun cause she kept that one. He really wished that he could've had a glimpse of it, but he didn't. He could only remember how it looked when he focused the camera on her face. "This is actually crazy... Me, liking a girl? That's horrendous. My child self would try to kill me if he knew, cause I am not being the tough, edgy person that I'm always trying to be. Everything is changing.... This is a very late age to start puberty." He's joking guys, don't believe him. Soobin opened a page of his notebook and put the picture of Liwoun and him in that page. "We'll put that aside. For now, I'll search why my hand's are trembling." He opened google and started to type on the keyboard. "Why is my... Wait, No. Why does my... Hands... Keep trembling. And... insert question mark." He pressed enter as soon as he finished typing. And he was not happy with what he saw.

"The reason why your hands keep trembling is that you have a heart disease, it is most likely that you'll have a stroke or either a heart attack. If this keeps on going, consult your doctor."

"This is absolute bullshit." Soobin closed his laptop as he grabbed his phone checking if there was any new messages from you know who. "One new message from... Who?" He closed his eyes as he opened the message. "Can you pray for me before I open my eyes?" I'll pray that message there is saying that you're suspended from your shcool. Soobin opened his eyes and looked at the message. "Soobin, can we meet later at... What's this? Oh, typo. At seven?? I'll see you at the central park, be safe on your way there." He sat there on his chair looking at the message, as seconds passed, he let out a big smile. Soobin was obviously planning something. "This is the only chance that I have left and I cannot waste it. I have to do it or else my whole life will be ruined, I just have to find the right timing to do that and it's done!... It's probably not as easy as I think it will be."

We don't know what's Soobin is planning yet. If you want to know, just keep reading and you'll know on the next chapter...
