Angela's POV
I really wanted to get to know Chen and Jin better but the emergency text I got from Ga rin scared me and now I'm heading to her dorm. The text stated that she was having an emotional breakdown, I know how it feels that's why I know she needs me right now.
When I got to her dorm I knocked three times before I received an answer, The person who opened the door looked nothing like the cheerful Ga rin I know. She looked like someone who has been crying for hours, her mascara had already stained her face due to the tears and her eyes were puffy and read and her hair was tangled up like a bird nest. Whoever made her cry must have a death sentence from me. After taking her look in she wrapped me in a hug before I could ask what was going on and she began sobbing again,even though I don't know what was wrong I hugged her back feeling she needed comfort at the moment, I didn't want to bombard her with questions cause it might just make her cry more,we were in this position for minutes before she calmed down so I decided to ask.
"What happened to you? Did someone die?" I asked cause she really cried hard.
"Angie.... Do..hyeon.... broke..up.. with me" she said in between sobs. After hearing this i became annoyed, garin once told be about do hyeon being her boyfriend since high school. She told me he lives in daegu,from the she talked about him she seemed to really love him and it was a long distance relationship and she does travel from Seoul to daegu to see him. He's such a coward, garin sacrificed alot to make it work but he decided to end it.Ga rin is such a nice person and it's his loss for not realizing the diamond he threw away while searching for stones. You know I have never really had a reason to cry over a guy but break up really hurts even if it's from family.
We sat on her bed, it seems her roommate isn't home cause her bed was untouched, no wonder she texted me like that.
"So, what really happened? Why did he end it"I asked cause I really can't judge if I don't know the full story, well don't mind me if I already judge cause I just couldn't help it after seeing ga rin that way."He cheated on me Angie, and when I decided to talk to him about it he was so mean, he said he could not go on with the relationship and the long distance. He said he doesn't love me anymore" as soon as she completed her statement she burst out crying. I could not help but just hold her in my arms for comfort. She's really hurt and we have that cheating monkey to blame for it. Why wouldn't he just end it before he cheated? Why did he have to hurt her like this.
"It's okay ga rin, you will find someone better" I consoled her while patting her back.
"I told him that if it was the long distance thing we could make it work, that even if I have to change my school next year I would do it, but his mind was already made up. I really loved him Angie and I still do" she confessed.
I can't believe she was even willing to switch school for that jackass, he just doesn't deserve her."I understand how you feel, just let it out. I know how hurt you are right now but you can't keep crying over someone that doesn't deserve you." I said, she still had a bittered expression on her face.
So I held her face with both of my hands so she could look me in the face.
"Look! Ga rin, you are my friend and I know you are an amazing person who deserves the world, I may not have known you for so long but from the little time we have spent together, you have been an amazing friend and a very special friend to me, it hurts me to see you like this crying over that cheating bastard, so I want you to be like you have always been and get your ass together like the strong girl you have always been" she looked shocked and amused at the same time after I finished my confession."Hey Angie, you didn't tell me you liked me this much, but I don't do girls" she said in a sarcastic tone. I'm happy she's even able to be sarcastic. There was a wide grin on her face afterwards
"Hey look! I'm straight 101 percent, even if I did girls I won't even be your friend anymore. You'd have been my girlfriend" I said laughing. She was already laughing now and I was happy about it.
"Thanks Angela, you are such a good friend" I smiled at her then she hugged me."What are friends for? Anyways have you told kyung join about this?"I asked. Her face dropped immediately I said this.
"No way, if I have told him I doubt if do hyeon will still be in one piece by now" she explained
"Ohh.. that's the reason I want you to tell him, he deserves a few slaps and punch for what he did" I said and a take smile showed on her face
She picked up her cellphone from the nightstand, maybe she wants to call kyung Joon"Should I just text him one more time to beg him Angie" she said while typing on her phone, before she could text further, I snatched her cellphone.
"Ga rin, you need to respect yourself and your dignity. You don't beg for love. I want you to show him you can do better without him okay?" I said feeling a little bit annoyed
"But Angie...." I cut her off before she could continue.
"It's a no no, I'm keeping your phone away from you for a while"I told her and she sighed not saying anything."You know what? If do hyeon doesn't need you then same goes for you" I said with high spirits
She laughed at the way I was talking which made me happy that I could cheer her up."You can't stay here sulking when he's somewhere having fun, you can't let it take your high spirit away. Don't hesitate to tell kyung Joon okay? I'm in no position to do that. We don't hide things remember" she nodded with a huge grin and hugged me once more which took me by surprise.
"Okay, okay let's get you cleaned hope, we are going to have a nice time" I said while urging her to stand up, when she did i pushed her lightly to the bathroom cause she looked like a mess.
I didn't feel like going out today but I can't just allow her to sulk here alone.When she was done we headed to the ice cream shop and ordered a bucket of ice cream which we both stuffed down our throats like gluttons, it earned us alot of strange looks from people but we could care less. After that we headed to the amusement park where we got on the rollercoaster, when I got down from it my feet was shaking and I was feeling nauseous which caused ga rin to make fun of me. We got on the ferry wheels and played other games after that we went to the cinema to watch a movie, by the time we were done with the activities it was already 6pm and yoongi said I should be back my 7.
We were heading out of the cinema when I had to tell ga rin that I had to leave.
"Ga rin, I wish I could spend the night with you but I promised yoongi that I'd be back in time to see his mom" I explained, her faced dropped but cranked up in amusement when she finally took in all I said.
"Yoongi?mum? Wait, what I'm I missing?"she exclaimed
"Nothing! It's not what you are thinking,his mom said she wants to see me for some unknown reason but I guess it's cause of the dorm setup" I explained and she sighed
"Okay angie, thank you for today. Jang mi and song yi are coming over, so there's no reason to be worried. I will get over this like you said"she explained. I felt a bit jealous after hearing Jang mi and song yi but I'm glad she won't be sulking alone at home.
"Okay, that's great!"
"What are you wearing for the dinner? Don't tell me that you are going in hoodies and ripped jeans?" She asked looking worried about my fashion sense. Fashion really isn't my line of expertise.
"Come on ga rin, it's not like we are going for some family introduction, cut it out" I replied
"This is Korea for Chris sake Angie, you can't go to all occasions with ripped jeans and hoodies" she said which made me laugh hard"There wasn't a rule that said so ga rin" she rolled her eyes at me.
"I would have helped you with the outfit but song yi and Jang mi would be waiting for me" she said glancing at her watch
"Okay garin, I will try to dress more decent for the occasion" I replied laughing. She smiled at me and we both went to the bus station to get a bus going back to campus. Once we arrived we said our byes and went separate ways.The moment I went back to the dorm, it was a disaster.
