Why Don’t You Ever Believe Me?

Tao’s POV~

I couldn’t muster up any thoughts let alone words to reply to her questions. Her voice just continued to ring through my head, the words continuing to repeat themselves making sure I heard them right the first time. After a moment of silence, my brain managed to process the thought and I managed to croak out in disbelief,

“You think I was the one who cheated on you?” Her eyes turned into dark,emotionless orbs and she replied,

“I know it was you, Kai-oppa told me so. He told me everything.” I was in complete disbelief. My body was beginning to swell with anger and rage, ready to punch that bastard the second I would see him tomorrow.

How could Kai feed Eunjae such lies? Then again, this might as well have been the perfect opportunity for him to come in and ruin it all. The question is: why. What will he gain from all of this drama, or is he doing this for self-entertainment?

I shut my eyes for a brief second, trying to calm my nerves down and I tried to explain,

“Eunjae, Kai’s lying. He’s done nothing but feed you a bunch of lies he made up. The truth of it is…” I drifted off, thinking if I should really tell her all of it. Will she be able to handle it? Will she break down and fall apart like she did before? And will I be there yet again to pick up the broken pieces, mending them together one by one.

But her look of doubt at me was more than enough that pushed me forward. She was clearly on edge with me and I couldn’t bear the thought of losing all her trust. I took in a deep breath and began the story. Starting from the first day of school, ending to the day I carried her to the hospital on that night she found out about his cheating ways.

After I finished the story, I waited for her reply. She scrutinized me very closely and scoffed saying,

“I don’t believe you.” I couldn’t help but ball my hands into fists. Does it really only take a pretty face like his to get half of the world to fall into the palms of his hands?

Anger shot out from me and I couldn’t help but shout,

“How can you believe that fraud after all he’s put you through? That guy who didn’t even love you to begin with rather than me who you’ve known practically your whole life?” I felt my words stabbing away at her. I never wanted to hurt her but the words all came tumbling out, all of them being held back before for her own good.

I never planned on hurting her but I saw the words that came out of my mouth prick at her one by one, as her eyes grew more and more hurt.

Why is it that we always hurt the ones we love?

“Then why did I hear all of this from Kai first? Why didn’t you tell me the truth yourself before?” Her words were stronger than mine just because they came out of and I was utterly defeated. My eyes were cast downward onto the floor in shame, her questions finally coming out and I could only answer her back,

“I thought I could bury the unimportant past and make sure you wouldn’t get hurt by him again.”

Her words were ice cold and held no affection behind them when she said,

“He didn’t hurt me, you did. It was important to me because you were my first love and you cheated! How can you pretend we were the best of friends after you were the cause of all of this?!” Her voice began to rise in volume and I knew we were causing quite a disturbance.

It wasn’t me who was your first love and it wasn’t me who broke your heart.

However everyone remained upstairs and I didn’t hear one footstep coming from the stairs.

She looked at me one final time before I saw it; her tears. Something I wished I would never see let alone be the cause of. She hastily wiped it away with one hand as the other slightly lifted her glasses.

Her head was bowed and her fringe covered her eyes. I wanted so badly to see past her fringe and try to figure out what emotions are running through her honey-brown eyes at this very moment.

It was so silent and still you could practically hear a pin drop before she whispered,

“And to think I was falling for you again.”

I lifted my head at her final words but it was too late, she was already out the door and I watched her fading figure running into the rain.

Chapter 52: I finished reading this really quick. I knew Eunjae and Tao would end up together. But I felt like the part with Kai seems left out, his father wanting him to be better. Kai is a jerk but you almost make him seem redeemable with the way he always have to be the perfect guy with good grades.
Also I don't know why I'm thinking that even if Eunjae is younger, it would have been a funny twist if Kai's sister who ran away was her.
