one > "To love is to let go"

“Hwanyoung, let's break up.” Jeonghan said coldly.

I stopped in my tracks as he dropped those words. It's unexpected. My boyfriend of seven years. Suddenly wants to break up with me. But why?

I know this one. I've witnessed this alot. It's happening to me now.

“Okay.” i didn't want to say that, but i had to respect his decision.

“What? You're accepting it that easily?” he said, concerned.

“Well, if you've fallen out of love, i gotta respect that. Not everything lasts forever.” i quoted, from my sister.

FLASHBACK

I knocked on my sisters door as i heard her cry.

“Sis? Wonyoung? It's Hwan.”

“Come in..” she said through her tears.

I came in and shut the door behind me. I sat down next to my sister as she cried on her bed.

“Won..what happened?” i ask, my voice trying to comfort her.

“My boyfriend broke up with me.” She confessed.

“Seo Myungho?!” i whisper-shout.

“Yes. Myungho.”

I jumped off her bed to go to his house but she stopped me.

“Lee Hwanyoung, wait!” she shouted and grabbed my wrist.

“I, or we need to respect his decision. If fell out of love, that's okay. Not Everything lasts forever.” she advised me.

END OF FLASHBACK

“I know that but, I didn't expect this! I expected anger, a little screaming maybe!” He shouted, in anger.

“Well what did you want me to say? “Jeonghan please don't leave me!” that?” i said, sarcasticly.

“Maybe! You're giving us up like it was nothing!”

“Jeonghan, i don't have the energy to argue right now.” i said, in a tired tone.

[The look on Jeonghan's face looked like he had realized something; Hwanyoung's acceptance wasn't nonchalance. It was exhaustion.]

“I'm gonna start packing.” I updated.

“Alright..” He whispered, while sitting down on the couch.

Yoon Jeonghan's POV

“

I'm done packing.” Hwanyoung announced, while putting her bags near the door.

Those words felt like a punch to the gut. It's all my fault.

“My sister will be here in a few minutes.”

“How long?” I asked.

I wanted to ask “How many minutes till i fall apart?” but I wanted to seem like her; composed.

“Five Minutes.” Hwanyoung said.

5 minutes..until i lose something more precious than 100 billion won. No. More precious than a 24-carat diamond.

***

After what felt like an eternity, we heard a honk outside. That was the sign.

“Wonyoung's here.”

“I know. I heard.” i informed her.

“Before i leave...Live a happy life. Without me. You're the best boyfriend I've had.”

“Then why are you leaving?” I asked, in desperation.

“I don't know, Jeonghan. I really don't know.” Hwanyoung  said.

She took her bags and left.

The soft click of the door was the indictor that me and Hwan are over.
