Mark: No... It's just that... I didn't think you would forgive him after the accident he was involved in. I was just buying some noodles when I saw his car crashing into Haechan.
What?!
Tell me this isn't true.
Taeyong was that bastard who crashed into Chani.
No.
I don't wanna believe this.
I look at Taeyong in shock.
Please tell me this is a nightmare.
Mark: Shit. Did I say something wrong?!
Jaehyun: Wait, he didn't tell you?!
Me: Taeyong...Why... Oh my god! Get out of my eyes! I don't wanna see you! You were the one who caused the accident?!
I normally don't cry but this time I have some aggressive tears coming out of the corner of my eyes.
Taeyong: I was... I'm sorry... It wasn't intended! He came around the corner with his bike, really fast, and I... I didn't see him coming. Well, then I did but it was too late...
Me: The accident isn't even the thing I'm mostly mad about! The worst thing is that you didn't tell me! You just could have told me! But that proves...that you're just not made for a serious relationship!
A crowd of people has already surrounded us, watching us curiously.
Me: EVERYTHING you told me on the phone that morning was a lie!! Mark was right all the time... If I hadn't trusted you, I wouldn't have those problems now! You know what?! I just need to get away. Forget about the Maldives!
I garb his plane ticket out of his hands and tear it in two pieces.
Then I run away, still sobbing from the shock.
Arsehole.
I never want to see him again.
I spend the flight crying and asking myself if I was too harsh to him. But no. Definitely not.
He never loved me. If he loved me, he would have told me that he caused the accident.
I finally arrive at the hotel on the Maldives.
I check in and go in my room.
The view from the balcony is beautiful:

But it's not the same.
I expected to come here with my love Taeyong and now I'm here alone.
All alone.
I throw on some calm music and take a hot bubble bath while I try to sort out my thoughts.
Would all this have happened if I wasn't kidnapped?
Or if Yuta would be my boyfriend?
Or, no, if I hadn't seen Taeyong for the first time in school with Mark?
I would have been the best if I had never met him.
Am I able to enjoy my vacation now?!
I guess I'll try, at least.
1 week later:
My vacation on the Maldives is now almost over.
Not one day went by without thinking about Taeyong.
But altogether the vacation was still fun.
Mostly because I met a guy named 'Winwin'. I know it's a weird name. But his personality is so adorable we became friends very soon.
He was on vacation too because he also won the dance competition but at another school.
He showed me the dance he did with 'Ten', another weird-named but nice guy, and it was BREATHTAKING:
But sadly he already flew back to his family in China yesterday.
I don't want to go back.
My heart's too broken to see Taeyong.
Of course, I do miss my friends but we could still stay in touch somehow.
I just ask myself how Chani would react to that decision.
I'll just call him.
Ring ring.
Haechan: Haechan Lee. Yes?
Me: Hey, Chani. How are you doing?
Haechan: Minaaaaaaaa! I'm doing well so far. In two days I can quit the hospital and go back AND start then at PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL SEOUL!
Me: That's a relief! Uhm... I wanted to talk to you about something...
Haechan: Spill the tea.
Me: I don't want to go back. I can't see Taeyong again. And if I go back, I'd see him in school ERVERDAY. I could not stand that.
Of course I already told him that I know Taeyong caused the accident and at first I was mad that he didn't tell me.
But I can't be mad at my brother for long.
Haechan: I understand. But you could just change school.
Me: I know Taeyong. He's gonna search for me in the whole country and beg for forgiveness. And I don't want to get weak. I don't want to forgive him. I can't forgive him.
Haechan: I mean, if you're sure about that... But what's with your friends and... Me?
Me: We'll stay in touch. How could I forget about my dongsaeng?! I'm just insecure about you living alone...
Haechan: Don't worry about that. I have Jungwoo.
I smile even if I know he can't see me.
We still talk for a while and then hang up.
Since I've called my parents, I've decided something:
I'm going to head to Paris where I'm going to meet my parents who are there because of -- guess -- a business trip.
My parents already enrolled me for an Arts school there.
So I'm going to study in France and then -- we'll see.
Now I'm calling all my friends to tell them about my plan.
-----------------------
I've called my friends and as expected they're not really happy about the news.
Especially Mark and Sun-hi!
But they all except my decision and will do everything to stay in touch with me.
