Your lips tremble.
The words that had left your mouth broke him more than anything else in the world.
Hoseok wanted to stay by your side for the rest of his life. He wanted to protect you from being hurt.
And as much as you hate to admit it, you broke him.
"I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry." you state coldly, mustering up the courage not to cry for hurting the most precious person you've ever had.
You have to be strong.
You're doing this to make him a better person, you have to hurt him.
You have to.
Sighing, your hands reach for the silver necklace inside your pocket and held it out for him to see. It was the necklace he gave during your birthday. "I'm returning it."
His eyes landed on the flower pendant that was split into two. "You.. broke it?"
You nod, and his gaze turned a shade darker at your confession. He stared at the metal before him and sighed.
"I thought you promised you'd never take it off." he mumbles, and your heart broke-just like the beautiful pendant you had shattered in an accident.
He took the necklace in your palms and brought his gaze to the traffic lights. The sky had turned gloomy, and the sunset was slowly being replaced by the moon's crescent.
He clears his throat, trying not to register the fact that he got dumped.
"I should go, I'm sorry to end it this way." you say in a low tone before faintly smiling at the guy that was facing you. "Thank you for everything, Hoseok. I hope you find someone else better."
You turn your back to leave and he clenches his jaw, grabbing your wrist. "Say my name one more time, please."
Your eyes well up, "Hoseok..."
"Again,"
Your heart crushed as you turn to face him, meeting his burning gaze and his watery eyes. For one last time, you tipped on your toes and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Goodbye, Jung Hoseok."
And he watched you disappear. Just like that.

"Are you two done?" the man in a dark suit opens the door for you and you plop yourself on the leather material.
You could only nod, and let your tears flow down to your cheeks.
He hands you a tissue, feeling bad.
"Why did he need to be hurt, Yoongi?" you frown as the tissue ate in your sadness. "He's hurting so bad, I feel horrible."
"So, you're going to pretend he didn't cheat on you?" the blonde sighs, giving the tiniest bit of attention over your rants as he balances his focus on the road. "I know you feel like shit, but he needs to feel pain in order to realize how much he loves you."
When you met Hoseok in college, you learned through his friends that his background self is something to be avoided. Sure, he was nice but he would go and soften girls up, only to leave them feeling used after that one night stand.
After meeting you, his friends noticed his improving behavior and kept their eyes on you for a while. They clearly meant no harm but they were making sure Hoseok wouldn't make use of you just like what he did back then.
And he did.
But being a soft-hearted person, revenge isn't want you want for him.
It's either he would go back to you, or leave you like you were nothing.
