1 ♥ Heartbreaker
Hearts are Made to be Broken
I was waiting for him patiently, holding the birthday present I had wrapped carefully yesterday with the white wrapping paper, his favorite color.
Today was his birthday and I had prepared everything with my best so it would be special for him. It's not a really expensive watch but I used all my savings to buy the white watch for him.
"I hope you will like it," I murmured to myself, smiling unconsciously. I leaned my back to the gate as I checked my wristwatch.
I had been waiting for at least thirty minutes. I wonder where he was. Was he really busy today with his tasks as the President of Student Council?
Another thirty minutes passed and I started to feel uneasy. Where was he?
Just when I thought about giving him a call, he walked out from the building. However he was not alone. A girl which I recognized as the Secretary of Student Council was with him. Not to mention they were holding hands.
My heart ached when I saw their hands were tied together. Sunggyu was smiling brightly as he looked at her with loving eyes, the look that I never saw from him when he looked at me.
"Sunggyu... Oppa?" I dared myself to call him when he almost reached the gate. He stopped his step and so did the girl. Both of them looked at me in unison.
"Ah, Eunye," Sunggyu smiled to me but he kept holding the girl's hand. "What a surprise to see you. Is there anything I can help?"
I tightened my grip on the birthday present and glanced at the girl, "What... Are you two... dating?"
I couldn't help but kept repeating in my mind that it's impossible. Sunggyu couldn't be with her, right?
Sunggyu gave me a bashful smile. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and looked at the girl, "Well... I just confessed to her and Bora accepted my feeling so... I guess you can say so."
It felt like my world was colliding when I heard his answer.

I open my eyes and heave a sigh, rubbing my eyes and then sit up. I look around to assure myself that I'm in my own room.
"Stupid dream," I groan and stare at the ceiling. I can't believe I dreamt of him again. I'm not supposed to think about him anymore but why did I dream about the day he broke my heart?
I leave my bed and walk to the wardrobe to get my clothes. It's just five in the morning but I don't feel sleepy anymore. Besides I have an appointment with someone who asks me for a favor two days ago.
The cold water wakes me up completely. I mentally slap myself from feeling sad when I remember about Sunggyu once again.
Sunggyu is my senior during college days. He was a smart student who had the leadership skill. That's why he was chosen to be the President of Student Council.
He happened to be my mentor for a subject so we got closer than just ordinary friends. He sometimes walked me home and sent me text messages just to give me a good luck before exam or accompanied me for random topics when we had free time.
I fell in love with him in no time. He became my first love. I never thought of love before I met him but then he appeared, making my heart to go for him all along.
However I think I shouldn't have fall for him in the first place. It's just me who thought special of our relationship when he never thought of me more than just a junior.
I regretted everything when he told me that he was in a relationship with another girl, right on his birthday when I wanted to give him the birthday present.
It's the first time I ever prepared something so special for someone. Now I can only laugh at my foolish attempt when I fell in love.
"I hate you, Kim Sunggyu," I murmur in a whisper to myself when I'm done with my hair. I put down the comb and look at my own reflection on the mirror. "I hate you."
Why did he need to care for me if he never had a feeling for me? Why did he make me fall for him when he never thought the same about me?
He is my first love who broke my heart into pieces.
"Why do I even need to think about him?" I scoff and grab my bag, slinging it onto my shoulder.
I don't need to think about Sunggyu. It's not like he owned my whole world. Never and never will.

"Ah, I'm too early," I pout my lips, looking at my wristwatch. I arrive fifteen minutes earlier than the appointment. I'm already waiting for the person in the coffee shop where we agreed to meet via email.
I decide to order a cup of hot cappucino while waiting for the person. I take a seat at the corner of the shop, looking at the road through the window.
It's just six in the morning but the citizens are already busy. It's a sunny day and I will join the routinity soon after this appointment.
The bell jingles, a sign that a new customer just walks in. I turn my head to find a girl with short hair is looking at her left and right as if she is looking for someone.
Her eyes fall on me and she smiles widely before taking steps to approach me. I keep looking at her until she stops right next to my seat and asks, "Are you Choi Eunye?"
"Yes, I am," I smile politely and gesture her to the empty seat in front of me. "Please have a seat."
"My name is Jung Hyomin," she introduces herself after she took the seat. She clears awkwardly before opens up the conversation, "So... I heard about you from my friend, Woo Sunae."
"A good one, I hope," I chuckle as I remember about Woo Sunae. "How is she doing without the little trouble maker?"
"Sungyeol never returned to Seoul even after months since you, well, worked hard to break his heart," Hyomin looks unsure with her choice of words. "I'm sorry but do you mind if I ask you something?"
"Not really," I answer calmly, taking a sip of my drink. "Go ahead."
"Your reputation as the heartbreaker... Is it alright?" she asks me the most frequently asked question whenever I meet someone like her. "It's not that I try to judge you or else... I mean the guys will be aware with you, right? They will know that you are just going to break their hearts and-"
"Boys are boys," I cut her blabbering and smirk. "Even though they know, they will care none about it and give me a try in the end."
Hyomin sighs in relief, "That's good to hear. I guess I will explain about this guy now then..."
She excuses herself to order her drink first before starts about the description of the guy which will be my next 'assignment'. If I'm not mistaken, this will be my fourth 'assignment' in the past two years.
I know it sounds crazy and non sense but ever since I got over with my broken heart two years ago because of Sunggyu, I came with a thought that love never existed.
Guys happen to break girls' hearts so why don't I do the same to them now?
At first I just played around because my classmate told me about Leeteuk, his ex-boyfriend who was a playboy. She was heartbroken that she cried really hard when she poured her heart.
An idea crossed my mind so I asked her whether she felt alright if I approached him just so I could have her revenge on Leeteuk. She agreed and I made my move carefully.
It's not that hard actually. Leeteuk fell for me easily and I just played around with him, making sure that he attached with me for weeks before I dumped him, leaving him alone on his birthday after I made him wore dinosaur costume at the amusement park.
He was really embarassed that he even told me that he didn't want to see my face anymore. He was disappointed because he thought that I was serious about him. I ignored him and told him that it's his karma for breaking a girl's heart.
What goes around, comes around. That's my principal in life.
Gossips spread really quick and within just weeks, another girl asked my help to give her sister's ex-boyfriend a lesson for being so ignorant with their relationship.
I just finished my last 'assignment' five months ago with Lee Sungyeol, Woo Sunae's ex-crush. She was in love with him for years but Sungyeol, the heir of rich family, cared nothing about Sunae who came from ordinary family.
I played pretty well with my role until he fell for me. It's not easy but I did it anyway. I left him when he had bought me many expensive gifts which I sold and donated for social activities afterwards.
When he found out that I did everything because of Sunae's request, he was ashamed. I wrote him a letter that he got what he deserved after discriminating a girl who didn't have wealthy background.
I don't care if people will hate me. My reputation as heartbreaker is still trending somewhere else even though I have graduated from college half a year ago.
Well, hearts are made to be broken, aren't they?
Well, hearts are made to be broken, aren't they?
"So there is this man," Hyomin starts explaining about my 'assignment'. "His name is..."
