Losing you

HER

"He broke up with her."
I tried to hide my smile. You can't believe how happy I was the moment Yeji told me that you were no longer with her cousin. I know, I was selfish. I guess that's what love does to you. It makes you jealous, selfish, and at the end guilty.
"Why?"
I didn't know what else to say. Yeji seemed kind of sad.
"She has been cheating on him."
I could tell she was sad, but I didn't understand why. Through her pain she still smiled.
"Go get him now."
I took it for granted. The fact that you always thought about me before yourself. Did u ruin your happiness for my sake? Is this the part when the guilt comes?
I didn't know then, but Yeji, you were an idiot for doing that.
"I will. And I will succeed. I'll make him happy and never leave him."
I made empty promises, I thought I could keep.
"I'll stay with him forever."
"I'll make sure to not break his heart."
Saying all this upset her even more. But I didn't know, so it was okay. Right?
It's fine as long as it's an accident. It was her fault for not telling me the truth. So it was fine.
"Promise me that you will treat him better than my cousin did."
I can't believe I didn't realise why she cared about him so much. I must have thought it was out of guilt for her cousin.
"Yes I will. I'll never do what she did."

I'm sorry Yeji.
