Yoon Haera's relationship with her boyfriend was everything to her. So when he suddenly breaks up with her, her world comes crashing down. Not to mention she's left with no date to her distant sister's wedding. So her sister calls upon the groom's b...
Johnny closes his eyes and sighs, "I'm sorry, Haera, I really am. I just- I just can't do this anymore."
And that's when it hits me. My boyfriend of three years just broke up with me.
My chest tightens up and it feels like I can't breathe. I want to say something, want to ask him why I wasn't enough for him, but no words come out.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry to hit you with this so suddenl-", the car behind us honks loudly and Johnny looks back before hurriedly finishing things off, "That's Jaehyun, I've got to go. Do you still want to maybe be friends?"
Nothing comes out of my mouth except a weird choking sound and Johnny raises his eyebrow slightly, "Guess that's a no. I'll see you around then, Haera."
Then I finally let out a breath. Three years gone just like that. And he didn't even tell me why. I feel the hot tears spill down my cheek as I stagger towards my car. I probably look like a mess right now but I don't even care because my whole world came crashing down with just five words. I replay the whole scene in my head one more time as I slump down on the driver's seat.
"Haera, we need to talk." Johnny says to me slowly.
"The way you say that is making me nervous." I giggle.
Johnny's presses his lips into a straight line and I instantly stop laughing.
"Listen, we should break up."

"You're kidding, right?"
I cast my eyes downwards, "That's exactly what I said to him."
Dami sits next to me on the bed and puts her arm around my shoulders. "Oh, you poor thing. I'm so sorry this had to happen."
I pull away from her and sigh. To be perfectly honest, I saw it coming. Our relationship was getting more and more strained. We had arguments almost every day and it felt like the spark we once had was gone. I went to visit my family for a week and after I came back, everything went back to normal. I thought that the short break helped but I guess he didn't think the same.
Dami jumps up and pulls open her closet. "Okay, you know what? I'm not going to let you sulk over some guy. We're going out tonight!"
I let out a groan and flop back onto my bed, "My boyfriend of three years just broke up with me and you want me to go party?"
"Come on, it'll get your mind off him for a bit and we might even get you someone new!"
I stuff my tear-streaked face into my pillow, "I'm not ready for a new relationship. It's hard to get over someone overnight, you know?"
"Believe me, I know," Dami glances over at me for a second before throwing over a sparkly black dress, "This would go well with the new eyeshadow I bought. Try it on."
Only because it's cute, I think to myself as I pull it over my head. I stare at my red face in the mirror and cup my cheeks.
"Fine, I'll go to this stupid party, but only because I like the dress and I can't get it go to waste."
"That's my girl! You can keep the dress if you like it that much." Dami smiles at me.

"Who's party is it anyway?" I ask, reaching over to change the song before Dami slaps my hand away.
"Nice try," she wags her finger at me with her eyes still on the road, "A senior. I think his name is Yukhei? Or Xuxi? I don't know but something like that. But I heard he's an asshole, plays with girls hearts, that kind of thing."
I roll my eyes. "Of course. But hey, what if I see Johnny there?" I bury my head into my hands with the thought of seeing him after what happened.
"Who would party right after breaking up with someone?"
"Me, apparently."
Dami parks the car in the driveway and turns to me. "Well, it's too late to back out now. Let's go."
She pulls me along with her as I roll my eyes and groan internally. This is going to be a long night.
Once we're inside, I'm immediately met with a series of questions. "Is it true that you dumped Johnny?" A few girls surround me, waiting for a response. I wasn't anything special, but anyone dating Johnny was already a legend in our school.
I shake my head and escape from the crowd to get a bit of fresh air, leaving Dami to answer all of the questions meant for me. The kitchen is pretty empty so that's where I head. I pull a sprite of the fridge and take in my surroundings as I sip on it.
"Hey, do you mind passing me a beer?"
