Someone Like You

Chapter Fourteen

"You were playing with me from the start, weren't you?" I interrupted, telling him the exact words I said years ago.

His body began to tense up, but he doesn't look at me. "Ujin..." he softly let out, realizing that my memories were possibly back.

"Thank you for your wishes," I told him softly, hoping I could calm down his nerves or worries.

His body relaxes, but he pulls me into a higher hug. With me not being able to control what I did, I tightly hugged him back as well. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too," I replied weakly, knowing this was a goodbye. "But I can't keep on hurting." I paused, letting myself gather my thoughts. "I don't want to be with someone who doesn't know what he wants."

"Ujin-"

"And because you deserve better."

He became silent, unable to speak anymore. I pulled away from him, and our eyes quickly met before I looked away.

There were no words from both of us for a while. "Remember when you left me?" I suddenly asked. I looked at him this time, not mattering if he saw my eyes that were trying to hold its tears. "This time, I'm letting you go."

I bowed, making it look like it was just some conversation to the people around us. "Please don't-" I quickly said once I took a step away from him. "Don't do this."

"I have to," I said. "I can't keep on hurting. You have to understand that." Then I left him, like the day he left me at this same spot; on this same day.

Half-way home, I noticed the tears on my checks. Quickly, I whipped them off and walked a bit faster.

School was barely over yet I didn't want to go anymore. I didn't want to care anymore. At this moment, all I wanted to do was be alone.

My head dropped and my eyes met the ground, unable to look up anymore. I could feel eyes on me as I passed by the crowded streets.

Soon enough, I arrived to the familiar apartment. Carelessly, I opened the door and entered the quiet building.

The moment I stepped into my small bedroom, I broke down. "Why am I crying?" I told myself, obviously knowing the answer. "I shouldn't cry." I began wiping the tears off my face but no matter what, it wouldn't stop. "I'll be fine," said my unstable voice.

Crawling into my bed, I pulled out my phone and opened up DramaFever. Since I wasn't really in the mood to do anything, I thought watching a couple of episodes would probably get things off my mind.

There was an unknown knock on my door after a couple of hours staying in bed. For a moment there was no more knocking, so I continued staring into my phone.

I heard it again, making me sit up from my bed. Slowly, I crawled out of bed and shuffled my feet to the door.

Yooyoung appeared in front of me and I blinked a couple of times, not sure if I should be surprised or not. "Why are you here?"
