11: I'm Sorry...

~~~

Yeri's POV

Good thing Yuta gave me a break before that Jung Jaehyun could enter the tea shop. It was almost time for my job to end but Yuta gave me the opportunity to have an undertime. I bid my goodbyes to them. Yuta and Kun flashed their cute smiles while Hansol just nodded. 

I can't hide the thought of thinking that Hansol might secretly hate me. Ever since I went inside the shop, he didn't tried to smile to me. Am I that ugly? Whatever. 

I was walking home. All alone. 

When I saw my house, I saw a familiar person. Why is he here when he's manwhoring? I slowly walked and observed him. He was in front of my gate. He's probably looking for me. No, I musn't assume. I stood beside him. He was still not aware of my presence. 

I heard him sigh and turned to my direction. He was looking down but I assume that he saw my cheap doll shoes that I was wearing. He slowly looked up until he looked directly at my eyes. I quickly diverted my gaze when we had an eye contact. 

"Y-Yeri! Oh god!" He then hugged me. I remembered the last time we hugged. Our friendly hug. I thought that it was going to be our last and only hug ever, but here I am. Being hugged by him again. I didn't hugged him back to let him show the sign that I was kinda annoyed. "I missed you" He unwrapped his hands from my body and placed his hands on both of my shoulders. 

He missed me? As if he could make me believe him. I removed his hands from my shoulders and just rolled my eyes. "What do you want, Jaehyun?" I just opened the gate and entered, not caring if he'll catch up with me or go to his important business. 

As I was about to open my door, a hand suddenly pulled me to a tight hug. I don't know why he's acting like this. Isn't he late to his meeting? I removed his hands from hugging me and looked at him. 

"What do you want?" I emotionlessly asked him. "I'm sorry Yerm! I wasn't busy at all! I-" I pushed him hard. So hard that it made him stumble and stopped talking. "Really now? Jaehyun! I'm your bestfriend! You couldn't even reply to my question! You suddenly just disappeared like a bubble! If it wasn't for Joy, I wouldn't know that you're busy!" I stormed inside my house and stopped for a while. 

I stopped myself from crying. No! I can't show him that I'm weak! 

"Y- Yeri.. Sorry, I didn't knew" He held my shoulders. But I removed it and turned to him. "You didn't knew or you tried to not know?" Jaehyun was about to answer but it seemed that he can't answer. I sarcastically laughed. "Now go to your lovely meet-a-girl business and leave me alone" I pushed him outside. I pushed hard until he's outside the house. 

"You know? I didn't knew that I can be easily exchanged by a Canadian girl. Tell me if you're going to be engaged or marry each other. I would gladly attend to your party or wedding as a friend. Somi's friend" I emphasized Somi's name and slam the door close. I was about to go but I heard Jaehyun again. 

"I'm sorry..." 

That simple word that came from his mouth made a tear fall from my eyes. I went inside my bedroom and sat on my bed. I looked at myself from the mirror across the room. I looked like I was heartbroken. Well, I was really heartbroken. I weakly smiled at my reflection. "Stupid" I told myself and laid down. I tried to sleep so I can forget about him.
