I LOVED YOU FIRST- an AU ft. GOT7 Yugyeom (xreader)

Chapter 15

"There's never a right time to say goodbye... But we know that we gotta go our separate ways..."

Ah, Chris Brown. I can hear Yugyeom singing this inside my head as I flashback through that conversation.

Dessa hears me singing so she keeps on bugging me to tell her what happened. She says she noticed how Yugyeom and I don't talk to each other but she thought it was just a small fight, that's why she didn't ask much.

"He should be thankful that we're cool," Dessa can only say. It's great that my best friend has a mature mind even though her height didn't grow up at all the past years. Dessa knows her place and she knows how useless it is to get angry at Yugyeom, especially since they are friends too and she knows that he's actually a good guy. Well, friendshipwise.

Anyway, even I can't get angry at Yugyeom. I respect his decision. It's not like something will happen if I force him to stay with me. I can't blame him if he thinks I'm not enough... if I'm not that one he wants.

But I hope it's Aileen.

It's been two or three weeks since he said we're over and I overhear from our classmates that he's interested on Aileen. Of course, I was hurt because it seems too fast. Is the 'three-month rule' only used on full-pledged relationships? Isn't it applicable on 'almost but not enough' relationships too?

And why does it have to be Aileen? I have nothing against her. Actually, she's one of my good friends because she's sweet. My point is Mark likes her. Doesn't Yugyeom know that or did he just violate the bro code?

The hell. The world is a mess.

Dessa is the only one who knows what really happened. I guess Ella and our other friends notice that Yugyeom is always with Aileen nowadays and probably get the picture. No one tries to ask me what happened, partly because they know I won't say, but maybe mostly because they can't even go near me.

The semester ended. It's as if the school is saying that we should take a vacation and start anew. Well, screw you, sembreak. I'm not like someone who can forget everything after just more or less two weeks.

I hate this. I told myself before that I wouldn't be bitter. Back when I'm naïve about all of this, I may have hated cheesy couples. But I promised myself that I wouldn't be like the cliché characters who become man-haters once they get heartbroken. I would try to move on and respect whatever happens.

Wishful thinking.

Classes start again and I won't deny that I wish we're not classmates anymore. But then I saw Aileen. She was holding a bag of McDonalds' happy meal. Wow, even the meal is happy unlike me. She says it's from Yugyeom.

Why didn't I receive things like this before?

"Do you want some, Y/N?" Aileen offers her fries. The fries that Yugyeom bought for her. Yugyeom who left me mid-air.

Ugh, Aileen, I know you're really sweet and you're not being fake right now but please, spare me with the generosity! You're making me feel insecure.

"Y/N!" my club co-members call me. I quickly go to them to catch up. And maybe to avoid going out at the same time as Yugyeom.

"Hey, Y/N, this is Jinyoung. Jinyoung, Y/N. Seems like you don't know each other yet," Lynn says.

I know Jinyoung though. He dated one of our co-members but I never actually talked to him because he seems... aloof? I don't know. I'm pretty shy myself as well.

"Y/N is our secretary, Jinyoung," Lynn says.

"I'm the president's secretary, not yours," I answer. I see Jinyoung smile and God, the crinkles by his eyes!

"She's the club secretary," Lynn corrects herself. "Jinyoung just joined today."

"Welcome," I say with a smile.

"Thank you," he says timidly.
