BESTFRIENDS

[30] Regret

Jin saw in his peripheral vision that Nayeon walks into the kitchen.

He woke up earlier than her. He just sat down in the living room and let the television open with a very high volume. He's aware of what he's watching but his brain doesn't absorb the information from the news.

Suddenly, a cup of milk is placed at the center table in front of him. The girl grabbed the remote control and volumed down the TV then walked away.

Nayeon still made milk in the morning like how she usually does for him regardless of what happened.

They basically hurt each other yesterday. And seeing her state, he assumed that the girl cried because of her visible swollen eyes.

He stares at the cup of milk. He felt guilty. He shouldn't have told her those words. It isn't Nayeon's fault at all if maybe she does look like a slut because she couldn't have accepted all his affection if he didn't ask her to.

He stood up and went into the kitchen where the girl is. He saw her preparing something for breakfast.

"I'm sorry." He spoke. Nayeon startled by the sudden voice but she didn't turn her face to him.

"Don't talk to me."

"Okay." He turns his stance and went back to the living room.

After an hour, Nayeon called him to eat.

"Your breakfast's ready." She just shortly stated without looking at him then started to walk out but Jin immediately held her arm to stop her.

"We'll eat. Where are you going?"

The girl tried to free her arm from Jin's grip but the guy didn't let go of her.

"Jin, let go of me." She pleaded calmly but the annoyance is evident in her tone.

"No, we'll eat together." Jin insisted.

"Do you want to eat with a slut?" She taunted, remembering their last conversation.

"Yes. I want to eat with a slut like you. Now, co--"

She slapped him. Very hard.

That action made him let go of his grip on her arm. His cheek is turning red due to the impact of Nayeon's hand.

"That's the thing I wanted to do to you since last night," she sternly stated towards the guy in front of him.

"If I only know that I will turn as a slut to you after giving us a chance, then I couldn't have agreed. I regret everything now, Jin. I hate you! I hate you so much that I even regret meeting you! I couldn't have approached you when we were in college in the first place! I just wish we never met!" She let it out, trying hard not to suppress her anger towards him.

Jin's stare is glued on the ground while receiving all her words painfully. The girl walks out and went upstairs leaving him behind.

Nayeon walks into the room trying to calm herself. She knows she just once again hurt the guy, but she's also hurting.

Basically, they are hurting each other. Maybe that's another reason why God didn't let them end up together.

As much as she already wants to leave, she still has responsibility left for Jin. She went there for that reason, to help and regulate him to recover from his fatigue.

She still has two days.

Two days to deal with my best friend. She thought.

Best friend?

She doesn't even know if she still can call him that.
