September

"Uh, I don't know if we should try to provoke her, hyung," Jisung thought aloud. "She's absolutely crazy. She'll find a way to mess with you again. I think we should get rid of her immediately and definitely."

Minho eyed his boyfriend, nibbling on his lip. He nodded slowly.

"Anyways, I'm really sorry I didn't visit you or talk to you for a while," Jisung yawned, laying his head in Minho's lap. Minho's hands immediately went to his hair, and Jisung was finally able to relax. "I just had to figure things out again."

"It's okay, Jisungie," Minho murmured. "I'm just glad that you're here with me now."

They stayed silent for a while, until Minho dozed off, the medication kicking in. Jisung let his eyes close, and eventually he drifted off, too.

A week later, Jisung was giving himself a pep talk in the mirror while Felix paced nervously behind him. Today was the day Jisung was going to confront Ji-eun. 

He checked his phone.

"Okay, are you ready for this?" Felix asked, grasping Jisung by the shoulders. He looked more nervous than Jisung, his big brown eyes calculating. At this point, Jisung was done with Ji-eun. He was tired of her ruining his life and haunting him, and Jisung was going to end it today.

Jisung nodded and walked out of the apartment. He held his head high, exuding confidence.

"Ji-eun. I'm tired of you following me around. We're never going to get back together. Dating you in the first place was a mistake, and being with you was toxic for both of us. You need to move on, and get away from us." Jisung growled the last part through gritted teeth, glaring at Ji-eun, who had a sour expression. 

She shot Jisung a nasty glare, her lips curling in disgust. "You really asked for it, Jisung," she snarled. "You're just a scared little boy who's too weak to handle a relationship. You're never going to mean anything to your boyfriend. Once you realize your worth, you'll realize that I was the only one who'd ever appreciate you. No one can or will treat you better than I can. Just wait and see, Jisung." 

Ji-eun smirked maliciously. "I'll be waiting for you when that pretty little boyfriend of yours breaks up with you."

She promptly turned on her heel and walked away, her heels clicking angrily on the pavement. 

Once she was out of sight, Jisung breathed a sigh of relief. 

"Hopefully that'll get rid of her," he muttered, sticking his hands in his pockets and walking back to the apartment. 

Felix was waiting for him when Jisung arrived home.

He impatiently asked, "So? How'd it go?"

Jisung smiled, "I stood up to her. I told her everything I wanted to, and then she threatened me, just like what we predicted. She says that I'll come back to her soon, which makes me think that she's going to strike again. But, honestly? I don't care. She can try me. I finally know what a good relationship feels like, so she can't really hurt me in a way that matters. She needs to fix herself, not me."
