I was in my room, keeping a photo from the earlier. I was laying down on my bed. Trying to think about what this could be. Blankly looking at the ceiling.

I took another look at the photo of Minjun and me. I was smiling, and so was he. We were really happy, but what happened.

But suddenly I felt pain in my head. My head was throbbling. The discomfort felt like someone was holding a knife to my head. I was leaning my head against my pillow. Squeezing my eyes shut, I wanted the pain to go away.

The rest of the world had become disconnected, all I could focus on was the pain deep in my head. I could not hear anything around me. All I thought, all I knew was the pain of the moment.

Then a glimpse of the scenes popping up in my mind.

Flashback

In middle school. Finally, I have the confidence to confess to Minjun my best friend.

"Ara you 're spacing out again, are you OK?" said my friend Hei Lin. She's my best friend I've ever had in my middle school years. You know what happened, I've moved back to South Korea.

"oh, I 'm sorry I'm all right, I'm just worried about Minjun ... I think I 'm actually going to confess to him," I said while I was getting my drink.

"You 're sure this time ... you've always said that, but you haven't admitted afterwards," Hei Lin answered.

"This time, I'm sure I'm going to confess after school today," I added.

"I'm going to cheer for you," said Hei Lin.

I took my bag after school and ran to Him.

"Minjun, wait for me!" I shouted, and he turned around as I stopped in the direction of him, and he caught me.

"Hey, Ara, you've got to be careful next time ... you know how clumsy you are," he laughed as he patted my head. My cheeks trun bright red.

Here goes nothing.

I took a deep breath "Minjun... I - I like you... I really do not as just a friend but more then that" I looked at him. He was standing with his eyes widen from a sudden confession.

"So what's your answer?" I asked.

"This" He pulled me in with an embrace, then he leaned down to my height and pulled in for a kiss.

The moment our lips touched, the world vanished instantly. My eyes fell closed, and all I could feel was him. His warmth, his touch, his being. 

"What now?" I pulled back.

"Ara, I 'm going to cherish you as my one and only Girlfriend," he pinched my cheeks, and I smiled.

I thought he kept the promise he had made. But he did not do that. All went down hill a few months we been together when I saw what he did. 

Few months afterwards, he texted me because he said he have soccer practise. So I walked out the class.

"Great I will be walking home alone today... Its OK though I can spend with him when we go on date later" I thought to myself.

I was standing just at the school gate when a few raindrops drops one by one. I held my bag up to cover me from the rain as I ran inside the school.

Soon, it began to sprinkle. Little water droplets drenched the hair , skin, and clothes. Water droplets began to grow larger and to fall frequently. The light 'pitter patter' of rain turned into wet thuds as the icy water ran to the ground. The sprinkling has turned into a torrential downpour.

The coldness swept through my gauzy gown and cooled my skin. Truffle hooves shimmered through the thick, slushy mud. The clouds were darker and darker. A flash of lightning frightened me a bit. The sound of thunder rolled over the area as another lightning bolt split the sky.

I was so soaking wet. My clothes are all wet from the rain. I ran to my locker to get my umbrella and some extra clothes if I have any.

"looks like I didn't bring my umbrella"

I just remembered I brought my sport atire today but I left it in my classroom. I walked there. It is already 4pm. There is barely anyone here in school.

I walked in to see something that my heart broke into a million pieces or someone stabbed it with a knife that the pain will not banished.

My brain stutters for a moment and my eyes take in more light than I expected, every part of me goes on pause while my thoughts catch up.

They looked at me and stopped what they were doing.

"This isn't what it seem" Minjun said nervously.

"Oh so you kissing another girl counts as not what I assumed and that is cheating on me... I thought you love me... but no you cheated on me with her" I yelled and tears started to dripped down my cheeks.

"But let me explain" Minjun said back.

"What is too explain... You and her kiss or should I say making out in this classroom... No wonder you were distancing from me for about a few weeks... So I see your through colours Min... you betrayed me and I trusted you and now you broke my heart.... I want us to break up " I yelled.

" Yes you got me yes I was using you.... Good job Ara I can't believe it been years now you truly know me... good job"Minjun said and his tone change.

" But I love you I really do.... NOW I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN... What make me more hurt is that I think of you as a friend and I even fallen in love with you" I sobbed and walked away from him.

Then I got back to reality.

I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around my shins; if I could just curl up into a ball, I wouldn't have to face real life, I'd be protected from everything around me.

But I'd still have to live with myself, with the wretched memories swirling around in my head. My eyes, already red and puffy from crying, squeezed shut to push more tears out. I let my head fall down to my knees, and I pulled my legs closer to me.

As much as I tried to hold it in, the pain came out of her throat in the form of a silent scream. The beads of water began to fall one after the other, with no sign of stopping.

No matter what I did, there was nowhere I could hide from the thoughts in my head.

I hate you Minjun.
