Truth (Answers pt. 2)

~Three years ago~

I remember that day when I was walking home, just a usual Tuesday after school. I remember clearly, his face becoming increasingly clear as I turned around and he took a few agonizingly slow steps until he was unbearably close. I knew him painfully well, we were once part of the closest trio in the whole school, one in which we all swore there would never be a duo.

That was why Wooyoung began to hate me. I never meant to break that promise, it was never my fault. Of course he never wanted to admit that it was his own. When he avoided us for two whole monthe and expected our friendship to still be just as strong as ever, it should have been obvious he would be disappointed with his expectations so high.

So our trio became a duo when he left the group. The last thing he said to either of us was, "I will ruin everything for you, Seo Changbin. I promise you that."

So when he appeared behind me that day, standing on the sidewalk and giving a venomous glare, I had a terrible feeling. What did he mean that day?

I expected him to hurt me, but he only laughed. The once healing sound was so sickening. "You and Yeonjun tried replacing me with each other, didn't you? Well I'll make sure you can never replace me. I'll make sure you're alone from now on, just like I was back then." When his hand moved slightly, I flinched. He cackled once more. "Oh Binnie, I could never hurt you physically. As much as I desperately want to thoroughly despise you, I couldn't ever do that."

And as he walked away, I didn't move. I was shocked, I felt more betrayed than I ever did, even when he left us. It was never even my fault, so why blame me? Why hurt me? Did he plan to hurt Yeonjun too? Or was there a deeper motive for Wooyoung's actions?

After about a month, Yeonjun met some new people, and while we still talk, I could feel the distance between us infinitely growing every second. I don't think anything has ever hurt worse than these past months of my life. The time I lost both of my favorite people in the world.

But I had to be the "strong and intimidating" kid at school, it was what I was known for. Only two people knew I was never such a person. I had to hold myeself together because if I didn't, what would people think? Would they hate me too? Call me a liar and blame me? I guess it was my fault for wearing the tough mask I always had.

After school one day, I didn't go home. Instead, I simply allowed my feet to set their own path. I shouldn't have, though. The walk I took to clear my mind only brought everything back, everything I forced away, everything I kept down, everything I pushed back. Everything. 

I was at a small, nearly abandoned park, the place where we always used to hang out as three. As two, we had avoided the spot and tried to forget. As one, I broke down, falling with my tears as my knees hit the soft grass. What did I do wrong? What should I have done differently? Why was I alone, when was never the one who tore us apart?

I was going to make this the end of the story, but I decided to make three parts rather than two, as it would be easier for me than making the backstory and ending in the same chapter. Time skips in the same chapter sometimes mix me up while writing.

I've been focusing on improving my writing lately, so hopefully that has paid off in my recent work. I personally think I've been more proud of myself lately than before.
