I woke up the next morning with really swollen eyes and it was impossible to go outside like this so i decided to skip school.
" (y/n) ah are you still asleep? "
" i'm not going to school today. I'm not feeling well. "
" (y/n)? (y/n) what happened? Are you okay? Do you wanna go see a doctor? "
" i'm fine. "
" Are you sure? Please open the door and i'll take you t- "
" JUST GO HOSEOK I SAID I'M FINE. GO TO SCHOOL AND LEAVE ME ALONE. "
I screamed at hoseok. Yea i'm so " not feeling well ".
It was dead silence after that. I felt bad for screaming at hoseok, it pains my heart too.. but i needed time alone and i don't want him to see me in such a pathetic state.

It has been a week i locked myself in my room. Maybe i was overreacting. But i don't know how to face my best friend anymore. Hoseok would usually be nice enough to leave food outside my door and leave me alone. I appreciate that he gave me the space i needed. As much as i don't want to see hoseok and eun ri together, i decided to go to school. I've missed out quite alot and mid term exam is only two weeks away.
*magical time skip*
I stepped into the classroom and saw eun ri sitting on my table talking to hoseok. Not surprised. She saw me and returned back to her seat immediately.
" Woah (y/n)! You finally decided to come out huh. Why didn't you tell me you're coming to school today, i would've waited for you. " hoseok asked, surprised.
" does that even matter? " i answered coldly.
Hoseok did not speak a word after that. Probably thinking that he did something wrobg. Yea he did. He broke my damn heart.
" hey (y/n), do you wanna come over my place tonight? I could teach you what we've learnt so far! " eun ri suddenly asked.
" i can study by myse- "
" see you tonight at 7pm! Hoseok oppa has my address "

Urghh why is eun ri being so kind. It makes me sick. And hoseok oppa? Ew.
I went to her house that night anyway, after getting her address from hoseok. It's weird hoseok didn't tag along since a crazy bitch like me is going to his girlfriend's house but he told me that eun ri had something to say to me. Weird. It's not like we have things to talk about. Eun ri's house was huge like a mansion. She has servants too.
" Wait here unnie, i'll go get some drinks. "
" alright. "
She brought me to her bedroom and went downstairs to get drinks. I explored her room and came across a dusty photobook on the shelf.
" Songwon elementary school.. Wait a sec.. Eun ri was from the Songwan too? "
Curious, i opened the photobook and a photo dropped out. It was a picture of me in second grade and a girl whose face was badly ripped.
" No, it couldn't be.. "
°
°

" HEY, what are you looking at? "
Eun ri snatched the photobook away from me.
" By any chance.. Eun Seol..? You're Eun Seol? " i asked.
" I.. Yes. But it's Eun Ri now (y/n). Please call me that.. "
" EUN SEOL AH! Why didn't you tell me you're Eun Seol?! Where have you been all these time?! And woah you became so pretty! " i exclaimed.
Eun Seol/Ri and i were really good friends in elementary school. She was outcasted in school because the kids said she was ugly. But i didn't think so. I played with her and invited her over to my house all the time. She was really nice. But one day, the teacher said that she transferred school and i've never heard of her again. Then hoseok transferred to my school and that's how our friendship began.

" i wanted to start a new life (y/n).. I'm tired of all the things i've been through in the past.. "
Eun ri cried. I comforted her and told her everything is going to be fine now. We studied together that night and had fun catching up with the times we missed. I totally forgotten about hoseok till she mentioned him.
" uhmm (y/n), i have to tell you something. "
" Haha okay go on. "
" I fell in love with hoseok oppa the moment i saw him in class.. I was shocked that he felt the same way too and confessed to me last week.. I know you love hoseok oppa (y/n).. and i shouldn't be asking you this but, can you approve our relationship please? I really love him.. It would be great if we can have your blessings. Please don't be sad, sometimes things just don't go our way and i know exactly how it feels. But it would be better to let go you know.. "
Why is Eun ri telling me all of these when she knows i love hoseok.. As much as i wish to say no, she's still my friend. At least the one hoseok loves is her.. I'll be okay... I thought of awhile and made a decision.
" Okay eun ri. Since the both of you love each other so much.. Please take care of him, he's all i got.. "
" YAY UNNIE THANKYOU! YOU'RE THE BEST! "
Eun ri hugged me and i faked a little smile.

I'd be lying if i were to say i am okay. Cuz im not. In fact i felt like dying. Probably because i love hoseok too much. And that my friend loves him too. I don't think i'll be able to do this.. Watching them holding hands, talking, eating, chatting in school. The hardest thing to do is to watch somebody you love,
love somebody else..
So i made up my mind.
I've decided to transfer school.

Eun ri's pov
Crap. I got busted. She saw our photo. Urgh whatever i'll just play around with her. The nice and kind Eun Seol was dead long ago (y/n). Everyone dislike and hated me. Everyone called me ugly but only you didn't. You played with me, only because you don't have any friends. You lended me a helping hand, only because you wanted others to think you're kind. Ylu befriended me, only because you looked so much better beside the ugly me. But in reality you never see me as a friend. You're just a selfish and arrogant bitch. I've changed. It took me years to get over this and i went to change my looks and became prettier.
It's pay back time (y/n).
I'll make you suffer.
Just wait and you'll see.
