Hangers {Kim Namjoon}

Chapter Fifty Six ~

"At least tell me you hate me-"

"Miyuu," Namjoon began, exhaling a harsh sigh. "I loved you. I still love you. But you don't understand how much you hurt me. You don't know how hard it is to know that your one and only is going behind your back to see someone else. You don't know how hard it is to live with that for more than a month and not say anything because you're scared that you'll break up. You don't know how hard it is to finally admit that you've known that they've been seeing someone else for longer than they told you." His fists clenched. "You don't know shit, Miyuu.

"And despite all that, I still love you. But I know that I can't go back to you. I won't let myself. The only relationship I will allow between us now is – at most – a friendship." He wiped at the tears he didn't want Miyuu to see. "Taehyung texted me and said you told him I was just your friend that got you through college. He apologized for something he didn't even do, and that's why he broke up with you – not because he didn't support your career plans." He noticed Miyuu had started crying, too, and he knew it was time to head back home. "My answer is no, Miyuu, and I'm sorry."

Miyuu watched as he turned to leave, but before he walked away he looked back at her one last time. "And I hope that you find someone who loved you as I did. You're great, Miyuu, really. It's just... maybe you need to learn that relationships are two-way streets, not one-ways."

And Namjoon walked off, finally relieved that he had gotten all of his thoughts out. After bottling them up for so long, he finally felt like he was at peace. So, now that Emma was going to be with her father and Miyuu knew how Namjoon really felt, he felt like he could finally go to sleep without being stressed out.

And that was exceptionally good.
