Second Life

Chapter 2 - Why Do You Make Me Feel This Way?

"Jihyo-ya" he said.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"I'm here to tell you something..." he answered.

"About what?" she asked.

"You must be happy after telling you this one..." he said.

"Jinjja? Tell me!" she said with her curious face.

He smiled and said "I'll let you go..." and her smile faded.

"Don't you get it, do you?" he asked and no response from her.

"About my feelings to you, I'll let it go..."

"I...... will never bother you again as someone that I like... I can finally talk to you comfortably... as a friend and family of yours... So don't be uncomfortable towards me anymore... I.... will only treat you as your oppa and friend..." he continued as her heart broke into pieces.

"Oppa, I'm sorry for breaking your heart..." she said while enduring the pain.

"No, I'm sorry for loving you... Loving you was the biggest mistake that I ever had since you have Jongkook-hyung... Be happy." he said as she looks more hurt....

"Be happy with him... I hope the two of you will never break up..." he said as he hugged her and she tightened her grip towards him....

As Gary left, Jihyo fell down on the floor as she cried a lot...

"Why did he said those things that will make my heart broke into pieces?! I will be happy for hearing that his feelings for me has let go?! How would I!?" she said to herself...

Someone rings the bell, and it's Jongkook... She opens it. Jongkook saw her eyes and nose redden...

"Ya Jihyo-ya! Why are you like that?" he asked.

"Gary oppa....." she mumbled.

"What about Gary? Did he flirt you? Or did he do something to you that made you look like that?" he asked.

"Ani...." she mumbled.

"Then why?" he asked.

"He.... he doesn't like me anymore... He lets go of his feelings to me... He said that letting go of his feelings will make me feel comfortable to him... He also said that he will only treat me as his friend and oppa..." she answered and he looked hurt..

"Then how about me? You like me and I like you, right?" she nodded.

"But why did you feel hurt after he said that to you?" he asked.

"I don't know.... I don't know why I'm hurting." she answered.

Jongkook feels broken about hearing that she's hurt 'cause of Gary, so it means that she also liked him. But he feels more broken when he saw her feels hurt... So he suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Oppa, where are you going?" she asked.

"Somewhere....." he answered.

At Gary's house, someone clicks the bell... As he saw that it's Jongkook, he rolled his eyes... But he opened it.

When he opened the door, Jongkook immediately grabbed his collar, and Gary looked shocked as what Jongkook did...

"YA KANG GARY?! WHY WERE YOU LIKE THAT TO JIHYO?!" Jongkook asked.

"Nothing... And why did you suddenly grabbed my collar?" Gary asked with his innocent face.

Jongkook punched him as Gary fell down... He looked shocked...

"STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU DON'T KNOW!" he said angrily..

"I ONLY TOLD HER THAT MY FEELINGS FOR HER IS GOING AWAY, DID THIS STATEMENT HURT HER?!" Gary asked as he raised his voice..

"YES! SHE CRIED A LOT AFTER YOU LEFT! SHE HAD HURT A LOT BECAUSE OF YOU!" Jongkook answered.

"Jamkanman.... I feel confused.... Why did you punch me since you also like her? Why did you get mad at me after telling her that I had let go of my feelings to her... The both of you should be happy, right? Especially you since no one will steal her from you.... But why??" Gary asked. "WHY!!!???" he raised his voice...

"BECAUSE I THINK THAT SHE LIKES YOU!" Jongkook answered.

"It's absurd... After rejecting me because of you, but she likes me? Unbelievable!" Gary said as he laughed.

"Hyung, I have to ask you... Why in this situation, I feel that I always made a mistake to all of you??" he asked.

"Gary-ya...."

"Why in the time I liked her, I took a pain from both of you? And why when I was about to let go my feelings to Jihyo, which was a while ago, I was still the one who took a pain... plus a blame from you? You even punched me.... To be honest, I wanted to punch you so many times, but I can't because of our friendship... Why do I have to suffer so much? Why!? WHY!?" Gary asked as his tears is falling down... Jongkook didn't say anything as he wait for him to continue telling him all the things that he wanted to say...

"I felt bad and sorry for liking her... But why do I feel that I should feel bad for letting my feelings to her since it's for you?" he said the whole thing...

Gary punched him back as a revenge....

"It's unfair for me if I didn't do this.. By the way, be happy with her... I really want to ask if I deserve to be hurt always... That's all..." Gary said as he walks towards to his bedroom and he bangs the door...

Jongkook sitted at the sofa, and he touched his head as guilt for doing this to Gary....

"Gary-ya.... mianhae... I should be the one who take the blame... I'm sorry for being self-centered... Kwangsoo was right, that I was so self-centered..." he mumbled as he cried...
