Serendipity || Na Jaemin FF (Ongoing)

-««XV»»-

Everyone was so quiet. The feeling was so uncomfortable and suffocating so I decided to finish my food quickly to excuse myself from our group.

"Hey." Rihyun was about to stop me when Haechan held her arm.

"Just let her." He said softly.

I was about to enter our building when I heard a voice calling for me.

"Soojin!"

I don't know why, but I was hoping for Jaemin but it turned out to be Soo-ah with a worried face.

"Oh...Hi." I said.

"Soojin, I think you should see this." She said.

She reached her phone towards me and showed a photo of Jaemin hugging Hyuri.

I gulped and felt a painful stab on my chest.

"Hm? What about it?" I acted as if I was okay with it.

"Yah. Stop acting like you're all okay. We all know that you like Jaemin. Someone sent it to me just now and I think people in our department will start talking about this." She said.

I smiled and held her arm.

"It doesn't matter if I like him or not anyway. Hyuri is Jaemin's ex-girlfriend and here I am just a friend who has a secret crush on him. I think I don't have the right to be jealous. Please keep my secret to yourselves. I don't want to ruin my friendship with Jaemin, Soo-ah." I said.

I left her and walked away.

"Hey! I-I'll see you at dismissal okay?" She shouted and I waved at her without looking back.

My heart tore into pieces remembering the photo of Jaemin keeping Hyuri in his embrace.

I smiled sadly and went on my way towards our room.

I heard a familiar laugh and I immediately hid myself behind the lockers when I realized who it was.

"But jaemjaem still sounds cute to me until now~!" She said.

"It's fine with me though but you should learn calling me Jaemin to make it look cool." He said.

I peeked and saw them playing with each other and it felt like nothing happened between the two of them.

'Hyuri knew me the most...that I couldn't think of somebody else that could replace her as my girlfriend.'

Jaemin's words kept repeating inside my head.

I didn't knew why but I felt so disappointed. I didn't even know why I feel so bad for myself.

Seeing Jaemin look so much happier with Hyuri made me rethink so much about liking him. Who knows? They may get back together in no time?

"Soojin-ah. I think you should stop now." I mumbled to myself.

I heaved a sigh before walking towards their direction.

I plucked my earphones on both ears and started walking towards our room without even trying to sneak a glance at them.

"Its gonna be okay..." I repeatedly thought to myself.

I walked past by them and our eyes almost met.

"Soojin!" I heard Jaemin call.

I was about to stop but then I decided not to.

I blasted the volume on until I couldn't hear his voice calling and walked faster.

"It's for the better. You'll be okay soon." I mumbled.
