Lovely Nights || Zhong Chenle

33

It was Monday morning before class and when I arrived at school, I opened my locker causing a small note to fly out onto the floor. I placed my books inside before picking it up and unfolding it.

"Meet me at the rooftop garden before class, I have a surprise..."
- Nana

I bit my lip and quickly gathered my books and materials I needed for today's schedule. I found myself smiling as I raced up the stairs to the rooftop. Over the weekend I decided that I would no longer let myself fall for Chenle and that he would no longer have any power over me. I already had the best guy I could possibly ask for by my side and I was going to make sure he knew how I truly felt about him.

When I reached the heavy metal door leading to the garden, I fixed my hair and uniform to make sure I looked my best. I was indescribably nervous for some reason, my heart pounding as I prepared myself to meet with Jaemin.

I pushed the door open, a loud clunky sound echoing throughout the silent atmosphere. I smiled as I shut the door behind me but all that changed when my eyes laid upon Jaemin's lips attached to Yoona's.

He quickly pushed her away when he saw me and looked at me with broken eyes.

"Y/N this isn't what it looks like."

I felt tears immediately stream down my face as I saw Yoona glare at me with a proud smirk on her face.

I wiped my tears away and raced back down to the third floor of the building, crashing into someone as I reached the bottom.

"Are you okay?" An unknown female voice asked as I rushed to pick my books off the floor. She knelt down to help me as I tried to quickly gather myself.

"Th-thank you." I politely bowed after standing back up.

"Please let me explain." Jaemin stated in between heavy breaths after catching up to me. I tried to walk away but he grabbed my wrist forcefully. "Y/N please, you know I would never hurt you on purpose." He began again.

"What is there to explain? You kissed her Jaemin, I saw you." I cried as I replayed the scene in my head.

"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me." He tried defending himself.

I wiped away my tears, a guilty feeling overwhelming my chest remembering the night Chenle kissed me. It was wrong of me to be upset. Maybe I deserved this.

"I-I think we should break up?" I looked back at him with teary eyes.

"No," He pleaded. "Please believe me, she set me up."

"You deserve better." I cried softly. "You should be with a pretty cheerleader like Yoona, not me."

"What the hell are you even saying? Y/N I like you! I want to be with you."

I wiped away my tears and walked away from Jaemin without saying another word.

"Y/N!" He called out after me. "Y/N stop."

This was for the best. I didn't deserve Jaemin and now he could be with Yoona. She might have been an evil snake to me but at least she would make Jaemin happy. I on the other hand didn't deserve to be happy. I didn't deserve to be loved. Maybe this was all some sort of twisted punishment that I was paying for.
