Chapter 16
~Hundred Broken Hearts~

During the flight, I cried.
Cried because of how much I'd missed him, but I also cried because the harsh reality sank upon me.

What I was about to do.

When I arrive he is already waiting outside.
How long he must've waited.

He frowns when he notices that I don't have any baggage or an umbrella.

His frown falters as he shakes his thoughts away and a smile spreads across his lips while he approaches me, not having an umbrella too.

I close my eyes as our lips collide and I try to convey all the things I can't say to him through my lips on his. I remind myself again why I am here and pull out before looking at him with teary eyes, my chest heaving in unsteady, shallow breaths.
I don't want to, but I saw this coming from the very beginning.

Reflecting the turmoil inside me, the sky begins to growl and big raindrops begin to fall, mixing with the tears in my eyes.

"Is everything okay, Y/n? Did something happen-"

"Let's break up" I interrupt him and look to the side, too much in agony to look him in the eye. I didn't want to see his eyes, didn't want to see how I let those sparkly eyes of his turn into ones full of demise.

After my heavy words finally sank upon him he opened his mouth to speak
"Please, don't- We can work this out, right? We went through this together. I love you" he cries out, grabbing my shoulders gently.

I shake my head, unbeknownst to the heavy rain completely soaking me wet.
I didn't even realize that it rained even heavier than before, I didn't even feel the additional pain, that only added to my already existing pain.

"Please, at least look at me" He whispers and I do. I gulp seeing his broken eyes. He still has deep eyebags and the thought that I was also responsible for them broke my heart.

If he had been single he wouldn't have had me to worry about and I wouldn't have had to worry about him. He would have been fine.

My decision was made. Building a good life, having a good work position is more important and so I decided to do what's best for us now, right? I mean what did I expect him to do? Quit his job and throw his future away just for me? I love him more than to be so selfish. I don't want to turn around in circles for more than a year. Hearing "Im sorry or Im busy", and asking "When can we meet each other?" all the time.

I have a feeling staying together will only make our relationship worse than better. So breaking up seems like the best solution, the best option.

Time indeed wasn't right and I knew it from the very beginning, yet we chose to ignore reality from the beginning.

We had chemistry and all, but that's not all in a relationship, or at least that's not all I want in a relationship. I want to be able to hug him and visit him whenever I feel like it. Or spent my time with him without having to hold a phone before my face.

It's not what I'm searching for in a relationship and he probably also certainly not...We deserve better, or precisely something different and more fitting under the given circumstances.

My heart aches at the thought that during those six months in which we were together, he hid his problems from me. We'd shed tears behind each other's backs and neither of us was able to give the other our warmth and comfort...not when we were miles away from each other.

But was it fair from my side to make this decision without him? No, it wasn't, but I'm just a human and I did what felt like the best.

"I- I love you too" I whimper.

"Then why-"

"- Because, Jungwon, don't you realize...We are lovers during good times and a burden to each other during bad times.
I love us enough to don't let us continue to go through this. Pursue your dream and I will pursue mine."

"Just because we live two individual lifes, doesn't mean we can't connect them"
He tries to compromise but I cut him off.

It's ironic considering the fact that I feared he'd break my heart, however in the end, I was the one to break it before him.

"I can't let you go. I love you too much to do it." He cries out, pulling me closer for a hug.

I hug him back, caressing his back. "You need to. For yourself and for me. Let me go, please. I'm sure if we're really fated we'll meet again."

"I'll wait for you"

I shake my head. "Please don't" and now he's the one shaking his head.

"Look what you've done to me," he smiles to himself, "There's no one I can love but you. Don't worry about me. We will meet. I'm sure of it.

POV NO ONE

He reaches out to grab her hand, but she has already turned around.
The cold raindrops are now glued to both of their skins and its coldness reminds them of the harsh reality they're in.

He watches her go.
She doesn't turn back.
He will wait for her.

He decided to try to control the waves and to what destination they'll led him to.
She trusts in what the flow of life has to offer for her.

Their ways part and only God knows when they'll meet again, let alone if they're destined to meet again.

POV Y/n

I suck in a deep breath of demise as the cool water leak through my shoes, soaking my feet.
We talked for 30 minutes, and I'm glad he understood me.
I made my decision, and he respects it, he agreed to it.

Hundred Broken Hearts, it's not our fate.

He swore me.

But in the end, it was just as I predicted.
The day we'd end up under those 100 broken hearts eventually came.

And it was today.

The end
(2nd ending lmao...there's a third one btw)
