Today definitely ranked as number one in the worst days of my high school life from my eyes swollen from wailing all night, my heart disintegrated into a million pieces, and absolutely no one to provide me with a simple rub on my back as consolation.
Zoning out during class lectures with every single word of my teacher going in through one ear and out the other, the only thing I looked forward to was the dismissal bell to release me from this unmitigated hell I call school.
I was currently scribbling Jungkook's name on the back pages of my history notebook, while being totally aware that I was only torturing myself more by reminiscing about my miserable breakup with him last night.
But I just couldn't help it.
I miss him so fucking much.
At long last, the bell noisily rang and created an even noisier commotion of students rushing out of class and chit-chatting about their after school plans, which soon subsided as majority of them eventually exited out of the classroom.
The only students left were Jin, Yerim, and me.
Not wanting to breathe the same air as the deceitful whore sitting a few seats away from me, I hurriedly packed my belongings and dashed towards the door.
But right as I took a step outside of the room, I froze at the sound of Jin's incensed voice.
"You lied to me didn't you."
Immediately hiding behind the nearest wall, I couldn't help but eavesdrop on whatever was about to go down between Jin and his girlfriend.
"W-What?" I heard Yerim ask out of utter befuddlement and uneasiness, and I was honestly just as confused as her right now.
"Jungkook was telling the truth wasn't he." Jin said, causing my body to flinch at the name of the guy I unavailingly love.
What is he talking about?
"Of course not! What are you saying baby?" his girlfriend questioned in her aggravating, squeaky voice, the high pitch tone of hers reminding me of the ear-splitting sound that nails scratching against a chalkboard make.
"This isn't the first time I caught you staring at his desk ever since he got expelled." Jin exposed her with conviction, and Yerim responded timorously, "I-I was just feeling bad for what happened to him."
That is total bullshit.
The entire population of students in this school knows damn well that no one is as greedy, dishonest, and absorbed with oneself as Yerim is.
But the next thing that came out of Jin's mouth stunned me more than any disinformation she could possibly come up with.
"Why would you feel bad for a guy that supposedly forced you to kiss him?"
... What?
"That day, you cried in my arms and said my best friend apparently kissed you on the lips when you didn't want to, and now you're suddenly pitying him?" he went into further detail, boiling the feeling of outrage within me even more from this sudden revelation.
I've possessed an unchanging enmity towards Yerim for a very long time now, but upon hearing what she did to Jungkook, that fervor of mine had now surpassed every emotion of hate ever imaginable.
"Baby I-"
"Don't call me that. I don't want to hear it." Jin rightfully shut the blabbermouth up, pretty sure as maddened as I am.
Surprisingly, a profound silence was heard from Yerim, presumably because she'd reached the end of her protracted list of excuses to select from.
"Just tell me the truth Yerim. I'm seriously tired of your lies." I overheard her boyfriend say as he sighed, speaking for all of us and representing our thoughts.
She remained tongue-tied as if a pause button was pressed for this nerve-wrecking situation, but after a good one minute, her tremoring words broke the tense ambience.
"I-I'm sorry Jin..." Yerim stuttered anxiously then paused momentarily, her next confession bringing the uttermost shock to both me and Jin.
"I like Jungkook."
Although I've always had a slight prediction that she did, her confirmation still induced an appalling and extreme drop in my heart.
That's why she rumored that I backstabbed him.
That's why she constantly tried to get his attention.
That's why she attempted so hard to ruin my relationship with him.
Because she had feelings for him too.
"You know, for the past year, I've done nothing but love and care for you unconditionally. I helped you when you needed me, spoiled you with things that made you happy, and did everything I possibly could to be the best boyfriend for you." I perceived Jin say calmly as he maintained his composure, but even a stranger like me could distinguish the sadness in the way he spoke.
"Was I not trying hard enough? Was I not good enough for you Yerim?" he questioned brokenly, and despite not being acquainted with him personally, it still hurt to hear him devalue himself like that.
"It's not anything like that Jin! I really didn't mean to catch feelings for Jungkook I swear! I still have feelings for you I promise!" his ignorant girlfriend defended herself nervously, I guess trying to find an accommodating and beneficial way out of this in order to make it a win-win situation.
But of course not being a dim-witted moron like her, Jin kept his straight-thinking and made a valid, agreeable point.
"You wouldn't have fallen for him in the first place if you really did love me like you always said."
"No I-"
Having absolutely no intentions of lending Yerim an ear anymore, he remorsefully admitted, "I should've known. I should've trusted Jungkook."
"P-Please Jin, don't do this... Don't leave me..." his girlfriend invoked him to change his thinking, unprepared for the impending breakup she perfectly deserved.
"You never deserved my care. You never deserved my affection. You never deserved a damn boyfriend at all." Jin straight-up stated facts which he was finally able to recognize despite the delay.
"Please... Please!" Yerim ugly cried as she ultimately acknowledged what a horrible mistake she's made, her screeching sob of despair echoing throughout the classroom and even in the empty hallway.
Giving zero fucks about her and her distraught state of mind, Jin finished off what he had left to say to her.
"I'm sorry, but we're done."
With the utterance of the phrase she dreaded the most, Yerim broke down even more and transformed into a crazy emotional wreck.
Well, karma sure is a bitch.
Detecting Jin's footsteps approaching my direction, I quickly took another route towards the exit of the school so I wouldn't get caught by him.
I felt bad for eavesdropping, but I definitely didn't feel sorry for Yerim at all.
With my gloomy day a teensy bit better now, I jubilantly skip down the hall with a smirk of satisfaction put on across my face.
