Currently, I was crying in a McDonald's bathroom. You may think Are you for real? or That sounds pretty depressing or What the fuck is wrong with you, Aecha?
So maybe, I should do that whole "start from the beginning" thing.
When we met up for the club, Taeyong didn't even greet me properly. Or perhaps he wanted to but was overshadowed by Jackson being... Jackson.
"Aecha, who allowed you to be this STUNNING?", he gestured at my outfit dramatically before pulling me into an overwhelmingly long hug.
Was I embarassed? Yes. Did it make my heart flutter? YEAH, maybe. It was Jackson after all.
As I looked at the others, Doyoung mouthed a silent "Yas Queen". Ah, shit.
"Anyway, gang, let's go", Johnny clapped his hands.
The next couple of hours were spent by getting drunk and finally mustering up the courage to dance. At least some of us had to do that, unlike Ten who had taken the spotlight the minute he had walked in, as usual.
"I wish I had that confidence", Jaehyun sipped on his drink with an adorably sad expression.
"You should!", I slurred, patting his shoulder aggressively "You're so handsome and cool, all the girls want to be with you"
He smirked "Yeah, all the girls like Yuna"
Before I could answer, Jackson had already chimed into the conversation "Jae you're suuuuper attractive, like for real, bro"
"Thanks man", Jaehyun downed his drink and got up, cracking his knuckles as he went to join Ten on the dancefloor. Maybe he was rather annoyed by our talk than actually cheered up.
"Man, isn't that beautiful", Jackson nodded happily before mustering me "Is it the same Yuna as last year?"
"Yes, she's been bothering us lately... especially me", I recounted absentmindedly.
Jackson furrowed his brows "What? Why you?"
I giggled, amused by his concern and the alcohol in my system "They posted fake nudes of me and tried to make it seem like Taeyong was using me for sex"
"Wait, Taeyong?", he pointed at the redhead who was currently at the bar, crowded by girls. It stung more than I'd have liked to admit.
Jackson bit his lip "So you have something going on?"
I gulped. Taeyong had ended it, hadn't he? But still... something in me wanted to say yes. To commit to Taeyong. To admit that I had...
He kissed her. Taeyong was making out with another girl at the bar. Son of a bitch.
The tears welling up in my eyes burned like hell but I tried holding them back, instead answering with a shaky "No, there's nobody else"
Jackson smiled, putting his arms around my waist "So it's me and you again?"
I looked up, meeting his shining eyes full of expectations "I-I'm sorry", I broke free of his embrace and started rushing to the exit.
And that's how I ended up crying in a McDonald's bathroom, with a dozen missed calls from my friends. I didn't want to talk to any of them, I didn't want to explain my heartbreak. It was only one name that made me pick up.
"Aecha? Where are you? Everyone's worr-"
"Why, Taeyong?"
