“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care if you love someone else. I don’t care if you love him more than me. I’ll accept anything, no matter what you do. Please, just don’t leave me.”

It hurts so much.

“It’s okay. I love you more than my life. Just stay by my side, that’s all that matters to me.”

My heart is breaking every time I look at him. I know Yuri’s hurting inside but he rather not let me see his pain. This is making me hurt even more. I want him to know it’s all not true. I wasn’t dating Sooyoung or anything at all. That kiss... I don’t remember anything about it all.

How? How can I let him see? How can I clear it all up to him? How can I tell him he’s the only one I love?

Several days have passed after that incident happened and yet Yuri’s been pretending like it’s nothing at all. He’s on his usual self, teasing me, taking good care of me, loving me all the time. But, I don’t want this situation to go on like this. Even all of my friends started to avoid me. Nobody listens to me at all now, even my bestfriend...

“I had enough. I never thought you'll do the same like what he did. I'm sorry Fany. I don't want to be friends with you anymore."

I have to do something. I have to know who did all this, who framed me up.

It’s the start of a typical lonely day again. Yes, I’m really dying of loneliness now. Jessica... Every time I get to see her she would just look at me then pretend I do not exist. I don’t even see Hyoyeon around nowadays too. All of a sudden she just vanished. I did try to look for her but she’s nowhere at all.

Our second class period was done. Jessica hastily stood up and fixed her things then went out of the room. I immediately followed her and tried to approach her again. “Jessi, please... Let’s talk.” I said.

“Don’t call me by my first name anymore, Ms. Lee. I don't consider you as my friend anymore.”

“Please, Jessi. At least listen to me.”

“Stop bothering me!”

“Why can’t you understand I was just framed here?! Why can’t you believe me?!”

“The pictures, the video, tell me how can those be faked?”

“I... I don’t know.”

“The evidence does not lie, Ms. Lee. We both know that.”

“Jessi please...”

“Everything... Everything about you is a lie. Your name? That’s not even your real name. Your identity? You are not even a pauper, you’re a freaking princess. Your feelings for Yuri? You-”

“I love Yuri. That wasn’t a lie.”

“Liar. How could you? How could you hurt him like that? Yuri’s a good guy. He doesn’t deserve to be hurt like this.”

“I didn’t mean it-”

“Stop. You don’t know how much he had suffered for all of his life and now this is what you just did to him!”

“Why are you like this?! Can’t you just at least listen to what I have to say?!”

“Alright. Talk.”

“I...”

“See. You couldn’t even explain this at all. Why you didn’t tell me Sooyoung was your prince in the first place?”

“I don’t want to make things complicated. I... I want to fix things by myself.”

“Did it get fixed? No. You just made it worse. You are a liar, Tiffany. And user, a ing user!”

“I’m not using anyone in here, Jessica!”

“You did! Isn’t your plan in the first place is to live with him until you’ll get to meet your prince again? And then you did. Now what? You broke his heart to make your easy way out of him.”

“No Jessica. That’s not true.”

“Pfft. I cannot believe you, Fany. He offered you shelter, even worked for you. You are much worse than Taeyeon now. You’re the worst of all!”

“Jessica...”

“Stop. Forget about my existence, I’ll forget yours. Pretend we’re never been friends.” She ended and left me alone.

She’s right...

I’m a liar.

I’m a user.

I’m the worst of all.

I decided to walk around the school grounds to relieve myself from the pain I’ve felt on my encounter with my ‘bestfriend’ earlier. Sigh. I really don’t know how to explain to everyone anymore. Well in the first place nobody wants to listen to me. Should I announce it on the school auditorium or something? Should I make a YouTube video? Or maybe publish a statement of non-involvement in the newspapers? Arrghhhhhhhh- I’m really going crazy.

As I wandered around, I saw Taeyeon sitting alone on one of the benches. He noticed my presence and started to walk away. “Taeyeon, wait!” I ran to his direction and pulled him back. “Can I have a minute?”

“What for?”

“Let’s talk. At least give me a chance.”
