"can we meet in the park 8:00pm, i need to tell you something so important. hope you'll be there."

you typed and pressed send.

it's currently 7:48pm and your flight will be really soon. you already bid hyejin a goodbye. you told her all that happened and where you were going and also asked her to just keep everything a secret from everyone.

you wore your sneakers and went outside walking your way to the park. your mom agreed to it because she know that the news was so sudden that you wouldn't have time to properly bid your friends goodbye. you also said that you will just catch up with them at the airport.

it was where you and woojin hanged out when you didn't wanted to go home.

an image of a boy appeared when your steps came closer to the park.

"yah!! why did not go to school today, do know how worried i was? and also there's a rumor in the school that you already broke up with sagang, is that true?" he exclaimed running out of breath. you were fluttered that he was worried about you but stopped yourself because it may lead you to falling more to and not wanting to leave anymore.

"okay okay slow down." you hushed him.

"so the teacher haven't told you yet?" you were surprised. and he was confused.

"so i'm transferring and we'll be flying soon. and yes i've broken up with sagang." you explained.

"huh?" he was still confused.

"yeah so listen closely and please don't say anything at all." you laughed at his cuteness.

"so i'm here to say thank you for everything. thank you for wasting time with me when you should've spent it with important things. i also hope that the girl you like will like you back and know how ridiculously amazing you are." you faked a laugh covering the pain you felt speaking those words.

"wai-" you were cut off by him but you quickly cut him off too by placing a finger on his lips.

"thank you for agreeing for pretending which led me to know you more. to be honest, i still don't know if the woojin i knew was the pretending woojin or the real woojin. and for that," your voice is now shaky and your eyes shutting from stopping your tears to to fall.

"i'm really sorry," your tears are now falling.

"i'm really sorry that i fell for you even if i'm just supposed to pretend too but every time you would spit those honey melting words that was supposed to make sagang jealous made me fell for you . i know it's my fault for not stopping myself and believed in it so please don't be upset with me. i will miss you" you then gave him a quick hug and ran.

woojin still stood there processing the words you just said in his head.

she likes me too?, he asked himself and realized you left so he ran after you.

he saw you going in a taxi. he tried to stop you but you were already too far away from him.

you wiped your tears being proud with yourself that you did the right choice. at least he knows now and you don't have to keep the feelings you had for him in a long time by yourself. you didn't want to hear his respond knowing he would pity or even be mad at you cause he already had someone he likes.

you arrived at the airport exactly 8:45pm and saw your parents with your bags, of course they had theirs too.

9:00pm, when the plane flew and you had a smile on your face.
