Lia's POV

"Hey, wanna go to the park?" Yuna asked.

"Sure. It's got chilly air." I smiled.

We went on our way to the park, but stopped when we heard some voices. Familiar voices. Too familiar.

We hid behind a bush and peeked. We were shocked to see Ryujin and Yeji sitting on the bench. My eyes were getting teary and blurry, but I held it in.

"Lia unnie, we can go away if you want. You don't need to suffer because of this. Because of her." Yuna whispered, fists clenching and glared at the direction of the girls. At Yeji to be exact.

"N-no, i-it's okay. I-I want to know what's going on. I-I h-have to know." I stuttered, my voice cracked, as tears slowly streamed down my face. Yuna could only reply with a soft sigh.

"I like you!" Ryujin suddenly shouted.

That's when I lost it. My heart was shattering in pieces, and I couldn't take it anymore. Sure, I admit that I've fallen for her. Ever since I met her, I changed. In a good way. But I never knew she could actually break my heart. Who am I kidding? Of course Yeji would choose her. I'm no one but a bully.

Ever since my other older brother died, Yeonjun, my fragile heart was hiding under a fake tough shell. I was tough. At least, I tried to. But ever since Yeji appeared, that shell was cracking. People had confessed to me, but I turned them down. I didn't want to fall in love and break my heart.

Yet here I am, sobbing. I covered my mouth with my hand, and ran as fast as I could away from the park. I could hear Yuna's fast footsteps behind me. But I didn't stop. I have to get away.

I sat down on the hood of Yuna's car and let it all out. I cried. Yuna's footsteps were fast approaching me, but her footsteps slowed down and faded as she worriedly look at me.

She didn't hesitate to hug me.

"It's okay, let it out." Yuna whispered and I sobbed onto her shoulder.

A few minutes later, i calmed down. And all we could hear was my soft sobs and sniffles.

"It's getting dark. I'll drop you home." Yuna said.

"That's a good idea. Let's go before Chaeryeong comes down to us and kills me for hugging you." I chuckled to lighten up the mood.

"Oh shut up." Yuna grumbled but blushed and she threw my bag to me. I caught it but softly laughed, and entered the passenger's seat.

On the way home was quiet. Yuna kept on staring at me worriedly.

When we were only a few blocks away, she was staring at me.

"I'm fine really. We're almost there." I told her.

Soon, the car stopped. I exited the car and said good-bye to Yuna.

"Text me when you're feelin' alright." She said softly.

I nodded and smiled as I waved her goodbye, and entering the house.

We all ate dinner. My family was laughing and I was just quiet. To be honest, I wasn't even touching my food. To keep them from suspecting, I called my dog to go under the table, and I fed him all of my food.

"Unnie, it's not normal for you to be quiet." My little brother blinked, Beomgyu.

"Yeah, I agree." My older brother, Soobin replied.

"No, I'm okay. Just thinking stuff." I laughed it off, and they continued eating.

I studied and finally brushed my tooth, changed into my pajamas and texted Yuna.

I slept and sobbed onto my pillow.

Just falling in love with you makes me sad, does it?

I hate pain so bad. Especially the pain I feel now. It's the same pain I felt when Yeonjun died.
