Sikulo

four > cafè sarang

“Give it.” i said to Seungcheol.

He hesitates, but gives it to me.

I answer the call.

“Oh, thank God you answered..” Jeonghan said, relieved.

“Can I see you?”

“Why?”

“I wanna talk.”

“About what, Jeonghan?”

“About us.” he confessed.

I looked at Seungcheol, and he was nodding.

“should i?”  I mouthed.

And he mouthed “yes. go.”

“Okay. Where?”

“Our favorite. Cafè Sarang.” He informed me.

“okay.. I'll see you there.”

I hung up, and i asked Seungcheol if he could drive me there.

I opened the door of Seungcheol's car, and i thanked him for driving me here.

“Call me if you need anything or if you're done talking to him. I'll pick you up.”

“Thanks, Choisseung.”

I waved bye and closed his door. I entered the cafè and i started looking for him.

I passed by his table but i didn't notice so he called out my name.

“Lee Hwanyoung!” he called out.

I turned around, and i sat down across from him.

“I'm sorry, Hwan.” were his first words when i sat down.

“Why did you break up with me? Tell me. Now.” i asked, stoicly.

His eyes drifted from me to his hands. 

“I was scared.”

“Of what?”

“Dragging you to rock bottom with me.” he confessed.

“I didn't tell you i was suffering with school because I didn't want to burden you.”

“You should've, Jeonghan! Sharing troubles doesn't break relationships up; It makes them stronger.” 

“You're right...I'm sorry.”

“I can't with you right now.”

I left, and i called Seungcheol.

He picked up and i asked him if he could pick me up from the cafè.

“

I still love him..do i?”

“Yes, you do.” Seungcheol replied.

“i don't think i wanna go to school tommorow.”

“Why? Also, you've got no other choice, Hwanyoung.”

“Hwagye is where i started dating Jeonghan, remember? In 7th grade.”

“Right. Every corner of Hwagye carries a memory of you and Jeonghan.”

He was right. But i had no other choice. I have to go to school. It's my senior year.
