When that time comes,
When it’s that time
Only then we can break up

-Only Then x Roy Kim-

I stomped on my way to nowhere. I did not even bother to take the bus or any other means of transportation available. I only walked and walked without any direction. It was painful but I couldn't seem to let out a tear. I did not feel like crying.

You are clearly wasting my time.

I shook my head, trying to put those hurtful words away from my mind.

I'm tired of this nonsense.

You are clearly wasting my time.

I shook my head harder while covering my ears with my palms. I knew it was nonsense to do so but I did it anyway. I knew it wouldn't go away.

After feeling a tiny bit better, I finally walked back home.

No one was home when I arrived, like usual. It was just what I needed because I need time and space to myself at the moment.

I took the basket full of unfolded garments to the living room and did other houseworks just to drive my mind away from the world. When my grandparents were back, I managed to put on a smile on. I felt empty.

That night, I was on my bed by nine o'clock. Although I was sleepy, I couldn't sleep as I kept unlocking my phone. It was stupid how something in me believed that maybe he was just out of control since we were in an argument. That he didn't mean it. I was stupid enough to wait for Mark to text me or call me. I was awake for another few hours but no notification came in. At last, I fell asleep with a silent drop of tear falling down my cheeks.

I tapped on my foot as I waited at an area near my grandparent's restaurant. I kept on looking at my watch until Mark finally arrived.

"Well it really took you so long," I started. I looked at him, who seemed to refuse looking at me, with a serious expression on my face.

"Why did you call me here?" Mark asked while rubbing his palms together. He was careful not to even look at me.

I raised my eyebrow but I was truthfully not too shocked by his behavior. "Let's end this here. Let's break up," I asked, nonchalantly.

"Fine," he answered and started to walk away.

I wanted to let my jaw drop in awe but I let it in. What a jerk. "That's it?" I screamed as he was already a few metres away.

To my surprise, he stopped in his tracks, turned around and walked in my direction. He stopped a few steps away from me. "Oh, right. Before I go, I would like to continue yesterday's conversation," he said.

I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

"We did talk about Noah yesterday, right?" he chuckled. "I'm sure he's not the only one, right? I'm guessing its what you're good at."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I said to him sternly.

"Wait, wait. Don't get too excited. There's more. That head of student council of yours suddenly came into mind. Why is this feeling so strong? The fact that you were actually lying about your oh-so-sad love story just to try and make me feel sorry for you so that I'll date you? Omg, I forgot to tell you, yeah I dated you only because I felt sorry for you so I didn't have any choice," he let out and pouted as if he was sorry for me.
