Jaehyun walked out of his workplace, a small smile playing on his lips. He expected to see Jihyun at the same place, and talk to her again after all the drama.
But much to his disappointment, Jihyun was not at the place.
Ah, what did I expect? She was waiting for Yuta, after all. Not me.
He walked away with a heavy feeling lingering in his heart. He decided to walk around town, as usual. It was just 8 pm, the night was young.
He was aimlessly walking around, looking at shops. It was cold, autumn was already there, and in just a matter of time, winter will be present. He was not wearing his jacket, he was just wandering, wearing his hoodie. Mark was at home, resting, he didn't go to work, partially explaining why Jaehyun was alone.
"Jaehyun!" A familiar voice calls, he looks back, and sees Jihyun, panting.
"Oh, Jihyun." She ran to him with a slight frown.
"Why are you wandering without a jacket? Do you want to get sick again?" Jaehyun just stares at her, pain still present in his heart.
"Jaehyun?" She calls to him, as he was petrified on his spot.
"Hello, Jung Jaehyun??" She calls again, and taps his cheek, struggling to do so as Jaehyun is almost a foot taller than her.
"O-oh, what? Well, I left my jacket at home." Jihyun just shakes her head.
"You should go home, Jaehyun." Jaehyun nods, but then, looks at her.
"Did you..." Jaehyun starts, then takes a deep breah so he can prepare himself for her answer.
"Did you go back to Yuta?" Jaehyun asks. He felt a small stab in his heart, after asking this. Probably, the answer will be much more of a stab though.
"Yes, I did. I thought about it. I gave him a second chance." It was as if a thousand knives were thrown at Jaehyun's heart. He said it was just a small crush, but the pain says otherwise.
Though, despite this he forced a smile on his lips, a smile that would be believable.
"Oh, that's good, Jihyun. Well, it's getting late, I'll go home now, bye. Take care." Not wanting to see her any longer, he turned back and walked to the direction of his home.
It's the end, Jaehyun. You can't get her, she is with Yuta-hyung. And she loves him, and he loves her. You are merely their friend.
