relationships

nami... oh sehun... how could the two of you do this to me?

i sat on the sofa as i hugged my knees and buried my head inside. all i could see was darkness, but i couldn't care. what was the use of facing the bright side of life when some day, the darkness would come chasing after you? memories came flooding back in my mind. the times when i would skip classes just to watch him play basketball, the times when he helped me with my homework, the times when we went on dates... the more i thought of them, the more my heart was shattered into pieces. all these years, i lived in anxiety, afraid that i would lose sehun to other girls just because he was good-looking and was popular with the ladies. i made a lot of effort to try to keep him by my side, even going to the extent of undergoing plastic surgery just to look prettier for him. but now? i was a useless piece of trash. worse still, nami probably mocked me a lot behind my back for being so miserable and pitiful, thinking that sehun would be mine forever. in the end, i was nothing but just a pawn in his game of love. he was just using me all this while to get to his ultimate goal, throwing me away when i was no longer of any use to him.

after about 15 minutes of crying, my tears began to dry up. i took my phone and scrolled through my contacts, looking for someone to talk to and find comfort in. then, i came across his name. seungyoon. i was a little hesitant to press on his number because i realised that ever since i got to know him, i had been relying on him a lot, so much that other people would think of us as a couple. nevertheless, i decided to call him. he was the only person that i could really trust now.

- seungyoon's pov -

i had just stepped out of the bathroom when i heard my phone ringing. ruffling the towel on my hair, i looked at who was calling me. and to my surprise, it was chaewon. don't think too much of it kang seungyoon, she probably just needs something but is too sick to go out.

"yeah, chaewon?"

"oppa..."

i was taken aback. for the first time ever since we met, chaewon was calling me 'oppa'. she was used to calling me by my name and i didn't really mind, since i was only one year older than her.

"is there anything wrong?"

"i... i..." she hesitated, sniffling between each word she said.

"did... did you just cry?"

"can you come over for a moment? i... i need someone to t... talk to..."

"okay, i got it. i'll be there as soon as possible."

i immediately rushed to my car and drove to her place. i could tell that chaewon had been crying. and judging by her tone, i knew that something was going on, and it was not good. when i arrived at chaewon's place, i saw her sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at her phone. her eyes were red and puffy, and i could see some streaks of dried up tears on her cheeks.

"why... why did you ask me to come here?" i asked as i sat beside her.

for a few moments, chaewon did not reply me. she stared at me with her eyes that were still watery. i knew that she had something to say, but was hesitant to talk.

"it's okay, you can tell me. whatever it is, i can promise you to keep it a secret. remember, we're siblings." i assured her as i placed an arm over her shoulders.

"just now, i was out to buy some coffee. and as i was on the way back home... i... i..." she began tearing up once again once she spoke, "i passed by a clothing shop... and i... i saw my best friend, nami inside. she was with sehun... then... then i saw them kiss..."

by then, chaewon had already broken down already. tears were continuously falling from her eyes and it seemed like she was unable to stop.

"have i done something wrong in my past life to deserve this? why is this happening to me..." she ranted in between tears.

that bastard... how could he break a girl's heart like this?

- normal/chaewon's pov -

i was constantly grabbing tissues to wipe my tears off, but they never seemed to stop falling. all of a sudden, seungyoon grabbed me by my shoulders, turning me around to face him.

"look, chaewon. you didn't do anything wrong okay? none of this is your fault." seungyoon said, his tone a bit concerned yet stern.

"but..."

before i could even finish my sentence, his hands were already cupping my face, his lips against mine. i was too shocked to even know what to do. seungyoon's lips were so warm and soft, almost commanding me to not resist it. i closed my eyes as tears continued streaming down. in that moment, i was unable to resist him. i knew that i might regret it in the future, but right now, i just knew that it was the comfort i needed.

thursday, when work resumed.

i found it weird that seungyoon had yet to arrive. he's not the type to be late though... could something have happened? i was about to step out of the locker room after changing into my uniform, when i heard some whispering. i listened closely, and found out that it was hayoung and wooshik.

"yah, have you heard? chaewon's boyfriend got into a fight with seungyoon."

"really? why?"

"not sure though... were they perhaps fighting over chaewon?"

i pretended to clear my throat and walked past them. they immediately stopped gossiping when they saw me.

"what were you two talking about?"

"uh... n... nothing." they replied as they quickly scrambled back to their work.

for the whole day, i was unable to concentrate. seungyoon didn't report to work, and i was bothered by what i heard just now as i was eavesdropping. why exactly did they fight? is it really because of me? wait... it can't be... please don't tell me it was because of that day...?
