~ First Love ~

Today was the last day of the tournament. Even though it ended yesterday, every player from each school got to spend their last day in Busan. Enjoying the time at the moment and resting from the tournament.

Thats what Yeri has been telling herself to believe the whole hour, ever since she woke up.

'Kim Yerim, just ignore him for the whole day and you won't be seeing him tomorrow. That's it. That's all there is to do.' Yeri thought.

But she just flop straight onto the bed and whine like a baby throwing a tantrum. It may seem easy, but for Yeri, it felt like the end of the world. She sighs as she sat up on the bed. After another five minutes of debating on whether to stay in the room for the whole day or not; Yeri grabbed her string-bags with all her necessities and her phone. The ombre girl walks toward the door and opening it. In the process, a body that was supposedly leaning on the door fell forward, into her room.

"AHHHHH!!" Yeri screams as she back away from the asleep person and hold her phone, pretending it was a gun. 

The person was awaken by the impact of hitting the floor, looking up to see a scared Yeri. But as soon as they both made eye-contact, things suddenly became awkward. Jungkook quickly got up and wipe his saliva as he straighten his hoodie. While Yeri lower her phone and realizes that the latter has been sleeping in front of her door the whole night. 

They averted each other eyes, only focusing on the floor. It wasn't until Jungkook decided to break the silence.

"What happened?" Jungkook asked in a sad tone, Yeri could clearly tell that he was crying the whole night by the stains on his face and how hoarse his voice sounded. However, Yeri didn't reply to Jungkook's question, she felt guilty that she was the reason he is in this condition.

"Why did you do that?" Jungkook, once again asked.

"Do what?" Yeri finally replied

"Ruin our relationship" Jungkook said sternly, emphasizing on the word "relationship". That's when Jungkook broke down right in front of Yeri as he hold onto Yeri's wrist with his two hands. 

"I'm sorry Jungkook but I had to. There was never a relationship in the first place" Yeri said as her tears slowly rolling down her face.

"I had to pretend that I was cheating on you for me to break up with you. I faked everything. All the texts, hints, edits, photos;  They were all from me. I love you Jungkook and I still do. You're my first love. Everything we did in the past, in our relationship was real. I was happy and euphoric. I've always wanted to be the perfect girlfriend for you. Until I found out that this was all based on a bet. Our relationship was a bet" Now, Yeri was the one who was talking sternly. 

Jungkook remembered everything as he let go of Yeri's wrist, looking into her eyes.

"Now, looking back at it, I don't even know what was real. Every kiss, hugs, look and touch we shared, were they even real? Was I ever real to you? Huh Jungkook? I didn't want to conitnue this relationship, knowing that you were going to let me go in the end. I wanted to leave you first before you left me. That's why I thought of that ridiculous plan. Knowing that it could be for the better. But I didn't know that I was still going to be hurt for letting you go. I wanted to erase you and your presence but I couldn't. That's why I moved school but now where here again, standing face to face." Yeri finished her sentence and wiped her tears away as she grab her bag and left the room.

"That's why I want to end everything right now and right here, where it all began. Goodbye Jeon Jungkook" She stop to say here final words and continued forward.

Jungkook just stood there, frozen. Everything Yeri said was right, all time he's been blaming on the latter, it was always his fault. He was the worst boyfriend towards Yeri. Now, he going to lose her forever.
