"No. No." She shook her head hard "That's unfair, Minju. You can't do this." She knew. Of course, she knew. She always have known. After all, I was never subtle with my feelings. The flowers, the special treatment, the love. How could she have not known?

I feel my heart being broken to pieces. I just confessed my feelings to her and she said it was unfair? I stare blankly at nowhere before saying, "Yeah, it is. I loved you for 13 years now but never once did you looked at me the same way." Was loving you that unfair?

"Minju… I love you also and I don't want you to be harmed. You are an important friend to me." She told me with sad eyes. That hurts. All I want to do is for this stupid heart to stop beating.

Tears fall from my eye. I scoffed. "That's all I'll ever be, huh? A friend." I looked away from her eyes.

"Minju, I thought we were fixing it." I clenched my jaw. It is like it's so easy for you to set aside my feelings for you. Like it doesn't matter.

I sniffed and wiped my eyes. I swallowed hard. "You're right." I tried to smile genuinely as fresh tears started to spill. "What do you want to do?" There was no use in fighting when I know my heart will always follow what she wants.

She looked at me hesitantly. "Give Yena a chance to show that she really means well."

I grit my teeth as I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest. You care for her that much, huh? Does she matter to you more than I do? I feel multiple needles piercing through my heart. "Do you like her?" I said spitefully. I tried. I really did try not to sound mean. But I doubt anyone can do it when you feel like your heart is being out.

"I don't. But I don't want her to drown in guilt for something she did not mean." The sadness never leaves her eyes.

"Then you have to give Chaewon a chance." I said firmly.

Confusion washed her expression. "Minju, that is a different case. She did this to you! She hurt you again!"

"This is my fault. I provoked her. Will you or will you not give her a chance?"

"Minju, thi-"

"I thought you wanted to fix this." I cut her. "You can't always be the only one making demands." I said through clenched jaw.

I saw her jaws clenching. She squeezes her eyes hard and fisted her hands. "Fine."

I am currently going out of the clinic with the help of Hitomi. I chose to only tell her I want to go out so she's the only one here. "Do you want me to ask Chaewon-unnie to cure you?" She drapes my arm on her shoulder.

I ponder on it a while. "Yeah. She should take responsibility for what she did to me."

Hitomi laughed. "Yuri told me what you talked about." She paused and gave me a meaningful look. "You, technically, didn't fix it, you know? Are yo
