Park Soomi

"What the hell is this?" I fumed, eyes darting between Taehyung and the girl. Despite the pure anger I was trying to emanate, I couldn't help the tears beginning to gloss over my eyes.

My mouth gaped open as the girl latched onto his arm, intertwining her hand with his. It hurt even more how he didn't push her off. Instead, Taehyung leaned in towards her, whispering something into her ear.

She nodded in response, finally letting go of him and heading back into the house.

"Wow, you've finally managed to detach yourself from her. Man, I can't wait to hear you try and explain this."

"Look, Soomi, I—"

"You know, I can't believe that while I was feeling guilty about how we left things, you were just here screwing another girl!" I shouted while forcefully closing the umbrella that was still in my hand.

"If you want me to explain, then let me explain—"

"No, I'm not done yet! How could you, Taehyung? After everything we've been through? How could you do this?"

"Is everything alright here?" I turned to the side, seeing Yoongi approaching the two of us. I noticed Taehyung's face visibly darken at Yoongi's entrance.

"No Yoongi, nothing's alright. I just got caught my boyfriend cheating on me. So, Taehyung, you ready to explain yourself?"

"Why don't you tell your other boyfriend to get lost first?"

I scoffed at the nerve this jerk had. Even when I clearly caught him cheating, here he was accusing me of having a thing with someone else. Yoongi was about to leave before I abruptly grabbed hold of his wrist, keeping him in place.

"Other boyfriend? How could I possibly have another boyfriend? See, cause that implies I have at least one, and I don't even know if I do because it seems that you've forgotten that you were my boyfriend. And whatever lame excuse you have, you can say it in front him too."

"Soomi maybe it would be best if I wait in the car—"

"Besides," I continued, cutting Yoongi off, "I'm gonna need him here to hold me back in case you say something that makes me want to kick your ass more than I already do."

Despite how hateful I sounded, how charged with anger my words were, this wall I had put up gradually came crumbling down. Taehyung's eyes were void of any remorse and pain, but the pain I tried so desperately to conceal finally showed through in my eyes.

All the bottled-up feelings of heartache and torment finally broke free from my overwhelmed and numb body, escaping in a stream of tears.

I couldn't take it anymore.

How could I act all put together when I was completely and utterly broken?

When he had completely and utterly broken me.

"I mean, what do you want me to say, Soomi? What is there to say?"

"What is there to say? Tell me there was some misunderstanding. Tell me that this was a one-time thing and that it was a mistake. Tell me you're sorry. Just say anything!" I sobbed.

"But what's the point? You won't believe anything I say, and any excuse would just make you more upset."

Just like that, it felt like my already broken heart shattered into a million pieces. It wasn't that what he said was wrong. It was that I wanted him to make those excuses anyways. Sure, I would get mad, but then, maybe we could work things out. I wanted to hear those excuses because maybe that would mean he still cared, that he still wanted me.
