Chapter 33

[Min Ha Neul's POV]

I ran back inside the stadium only to grab my bag and then left the building as fast as I could. I heard Hye Jin and Jimin were calling out my name but my mind was too messed up so I just ignored them.

I stopped running when I passed a broken fence which lead to the place that I used to love the most. I stood in front of the rusty fence before I pushed it open with both my hands.

When was the last time I visited this place?

I mumbled inside my head as I traced the familiar path. The path that lead to the abandoned park. The path that I would always ran to the moment I felt miserable and needed some peace.

But somehow it changed since I never went to the park again. Because everytime I felt sad and needed comfort, my feet would lead me to Taehyung without me even realized. And of course he would always welcome me with that magnificent smile of him and some warm hugs.

I sat at one of the benches as I brought my feet up, hugging on my knees as I buried my face in between my crossed arms. I just let the tears stream down my face, because it just bursted out offhanded no matter how hard I tried to hold it.

What am I doing?

I took a very deep breath before I lifted my head and wiped my tears with my sleeves. I put my feet back on the ground as I slumped my back against the bench.

The sky was slowly turned into an orange color with a hint of purple. I decided to leave the place and just went back home because I felt tired, both physically and emotionally. I've drained myself enough after crying for while.

Just when I stood up, I saw someone walked into the park as he looked at the ground. My heart pounding slightly the moment I recognized who it was.

He was only a few steps away from me when he brought his head up and stared straight into my face before he stopped his footsteps.

"Oh, it's been a while." He mumbled.

"Yeah." I nodded slightly.

"Are you leaving?" He raised an eyebrow and I nodded.

"Would you mind if I ask you to wait and listen to me for a while? You know, there's so many things we need to talk about." He slightly rubbed the back of his neck, looking nervous.

"I'm sorry, but I'm really ti─"

"Please?" He begged and I didn't know why I still had this soft spot for him that I finally gave up.

A few minutes won't harm me. I thought.

"Okay." I sighed as I sat myself back on the bench.

He let out a thin smile before he took a seat right beside me.

"I already heard everything from Jimin." He began.

"About what?"

"About why you're breaking up with me. You know you should've just told me that you were being bu─"

"Yeah I heard about you and Miss Jiwon too." I interrupted him, slightly feeling annoyed because I really didn't want to bring those things up.

"Look, I'm so sorry about that. I really do."

"I bet you are." I snorted.

"I'm serious." His eyes were locked on mine and I could tell from his gaze that he wasn't lying.

"You know you should've never kissed me back then." My voice almost choked over my own words as my mind recalling the night when I felt like I was the luckiest girl in the world. Apparently, I wasn't.
