After I dropped her off, I was surrounded by thoughts. I didn’t know it was this hard to walk the way home.

Why does my heart feel so stuffed up? It’s so hard when thoughts of you roam in my mind. I need to end this, I can’t continue to let her drag me, and I can’t drag her down.

Yeon Hyo’s POV~

I was happily running to Junghyung apartment. He called and told me to come over and I got up and prepared myself as fast as I could.

Once I reached his door step, I happily knocked on the door an even three times and waited for the door to swing open and for his smiling face to greet me.

“Come in!” I heard from the other side. He didn’t even want to open the door? I let myself in and called out,

“Where are you Junhyung?”

“In the living room!” He shouted back. I heard a small high pitched laugh from that direction as well. I instantly tensed up at the sight of Junhyung with his hand wrapped around another girl.

“H-hey.” I stuttered out. Junhyung gave me a nod and simply held the other girl’s hand. Not bothering to even say hi to me.

“Hi, I’m Yeon Hyo. Who are you?” I ask trying to keep up my composure. She gives me a radiant smile and begins saying,

“I’m Goo Hara, I’m Junghyung’s gi-”

“She’s my girlfriend.” Junghyun butts in kissing Goo Hara on the cheek, earning another giggle from her.

Junhyung’s POV~

“Wh-what?” I looked at Yeon Hyo and saw her eyes slowly filling with tears. I could feel her pain and hurt just through her honey eyes, glazed with water.

Keep going Junghyung, finish this. It’s for the best.

I gave her a fake laugh and smirked.

“You honestly thought that we can be together? Face it Yeon Hyo, it will and can never happen.” I said biting my lip at my cold icy words. I couldn’t believe I was the one speaking all these words I didn’t even mean, words that I continue to send your way.

“Just do yourself a favor, don’t bother me anymore.” I spat one final sentence. I saw the look on her face. I saw her tears finally spill and I wanted to simply run to her and hug her. Yet a thought stopped me,

You’re going to die.

I could only catch a final glimps of her as she was crumbling before me, before she ran off.

I’m sending you away, so hurry up and go. Be happy.

Yeon Hyo’s POV~

The tears just wouldn’t stop. I tried to smile slightly to prevent them from falling, yet that only seemed to increase their rate. I don’t want to even look back; I don’t want to EVER look back. My own tears blurred my vision and I found myself tripping over the sidewalk, falling in front of a car that would’ve run me over. Yet it didn’t. It swerved and stopped on the side of me. A handsome man got out shocked at my state and leaned down,

“Are you ok? I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. Can I get you a ride home? Do you need to be take to a doctor? It looks like you scraped your knee.” I figured I was too broken to even walk and felt myself nod.

“I’m Hyunseung by the way.” He commented gently placing me in the passenger seat of the car.

“I’m Yeon Hyo.” I said with no emotion in my tone what so ever.

I need to live better, I need to fight this off.

Junhyung’s POV~

I was simply sitting in the waiting room like I’ve been doing for the past couple of years or so. I’ve been going to the doctor every day since the phone call and he continues to tell me that I’m recovering, yet I don’t believe it. If I was recovering, I wouldn’t feel so broken. I would have Yeon Hyo by my side.

“Yong Junhyung?” A nurse calls me and I step into the doctor’s office. He has a smile on his face, a simple smile that he probably uses to greet all his patients.

“Junhyung, I have great news for you.” I show him a little bit of attention but my mind is elsewhere.

“You’re healthy now, you fully recovered.” He says.

I couldn’t believe his words.

“E-excuse me?” I asked in pure shock. He chuckled and showed me my chart.

“You’re fully recovered as far as I know.” I couldn’t believe it. He simply asked me to fill in some more paper work, we said our good byes and Ieft. I went home and soon, slumber took over me.

Where am I? I was simply sitting at a nearby park and I saw a simple figure standing beside me.

“Excuse me?” I call out and see Yeon Hyo.

“Y-yeon Hyo! I’m so glad to see you! How have you been? ”I ask with a smile, relief sweeping over at the sight of her. She looks me over and simply walks away. I gently grab her wrist, asking for forgiveness when she slaps my own hand away and says,

“We broke up, remember?”

I woke up gasping for air; my whole body was drenched in a cold layer of sweat. I keep telling myself that I will forget a girl like her, yet I know I’ll never forget. I know we really loved each other. I looked at the clock showing me it’s already noon. I take a quick shower and head out.

Yeon Hyo’s POV~

I was lost in my own thoughts, this was the same park where Junhyung and I went to. I quickly shook the memory away when I felt his hand gently tighten around my own. I looked into the warm, kind, and understanding eyes of my current boyfriend.

“Are you ok? You seemed a little dizzy for a second.” Hyunseung said giving me his usual smiles that bring me little comfort. I give him a small smile in return and reply

“This park just has a lot of memories.” He nods in agreement and points to the road across the park,

“That’s where we met, remember?” I wrap both of my arms around his hand and nod. He helped me so much, he healed almost all of my scars and wounds. I was so broken back then, and now he’s slowly putting me back together, piece by piece.

“Yeon Hyo?” I know that voice. I was too scared to look so I pretended I didn’t hear it. Yet I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw him standing in front of me and Hyunseung.

“Yeon Hyo.” He says in a relieved tone of voice. I quickly let go of Hyunseung’s arm and slowly felt my old scars and wounds opening up, as every second passed by with Junhyung standing before me.

Junhyung’s POV~

I looked in between Yeon Hyo and Hyunseung. I held out a hand remembering my old best friend,

“How are you Hyunseung?” I asked trying hard to prevent my voice from cracking.

“Great actually, oh let me introduce my girlfriend, Yeon Hyo.” She held out a hand and avoided my gaze.

“Nice to see you Junghyung.” Hyunseung noticed something going on between me and Yeon Hyo so he excused himself when he got a phone call.

“Wh-what are you doing here?” I asked her after a moment of awkward silence. She tensed up and replied casually,

“I’m on a date with Hyunseung.” I heard Hyunseung, but hearing those words coming out of Yeon Hyo felt like a punch to the gut.

“I see.” I said, not thinking of what to say or ask next.

“Why are you here?” She asks me with a distant look in her eyes. She’s changed so much. If it’s possible, she became even more beautiful.

“I’m here to ask for your forgiveness. Please understand Yeon Hyo. I was such a jerk before because I thought I’d die. I really loved you Yeon Hyo, yet I knew that if I died I would simply leave you behind.” I gently took her hand and kissed the top of it gently.

“I still even love you now.”

Yeon Hyo’s POV~

Loved. Love.

Those two words showing me his feeling from the past and present. I saw the truth behind his eyes. I was about to break down like last time, but Hyunseung’s back was in my view point. I gently took Junhyung’s hand off of my own and I said,

“I’m sorry Junhyung.” He had such a pained look in his eye that I wanted to hug him. Then Hyunseung came back and I was brought back to reality.

“I’m sorry Junhyung but we have to go. It was very nice seeing you again.” Hyunseung said and I simply nodded. Hyunseung saved me once again. After several paces, we were dead center in the park near the fountain.

“What’s wrong?” I asked noticing his blushing face. He simply knelt down on one knee and held out a velvet box before me.

“Will you marry me Lee Yeon Hyo?” He asked. His eyes were so welcoming; I knew we could have such a great relationship. He was perfect. Yet I felt my eyes look behind me and see Junhyung’s broad back walking away. I quickly looked back at Hyunseung and gave him a small smile.

“Of course.”
