Treat You RightThis idea came to my head last night and I wrote it down on my iPod c:
Crap, I’m crying again.
I lift my hand up to softly wipe away the tears that are falling down from my already puffy eyes. I already told myself that I won’t cry, but it doesn’t seem to be working out so well for me. I mean, he is the one who cheated on me without a thought of what I would feel when I would find out―which just so happened to be today. I didn’t think that I was that boring of a girlfriend that Junho would have to cheat on me—and with my best friend too. He just stooped so low, didn’t he?
I sniffle as I sit down on an empty, but cold, bench. Going to my apartment isn’t really where I want to be right now since I have memories of Junho everywhere. Going there would just make me feel even worse, so heading over to the river seemed like the next best thing to do.
Sitting back, I look out at the river―the city lights beside the river casting beautiful colors that are dancing along the water. A gust of cold wind passes in my direction and I shiver, my hands rubbing my arms for warmth. It’s getting cold, I think to myself as I feel someone sit down on the bench next to me. I frown. Out of all the benches next to the river, this person had to choose this one? I sigh, pulling my legs up against my chest so that I can somehow gain more warmth from my jeans. I could just go home... but I don’t want to see anything that belongs to Junho. I should just call him and tell him to come and get his stuff so that I can live in my apartment peacefully.
Something warm is draped around my shoulders and I stop my thinking to look up as the guy sitting next to me sits back after putting his jacket around me. “You were cold,” he tells me before I can even ask him anything. He turns around to look at me and I feel the butterflies attacking my stomach once his chocolate-brown eyes reach my eyes. I take in a breath. He’s... beautiful. He looks mature, but he still has the little bits of a child in him. “My mom always taught me that whenever a lady is cold, I should give her my jacket.”
If my cheeks weren’t almost-frozen he would have seen me blush. “T-thank you.”
“What’s a pretty girl like you doing out here late at night? You do know that there’re bad guys lurking around here,” he teases and I chuckle.
Since I don’t have anyone to tell my problem to, I guess I’ll just tell it to Mystery Guy over here. “Well... my boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend,” I confess, waiting for his reaction but I don’t see one. I turn my body around so that I am facing him completely. “You’re a guy―would you cheat on your girlfriend?”
He shakes his head. “If I were him, I wouldn’t have cheated on you. I actually feel jealous that he got the chance to date a girl like you,” he smoothly says and I feel tingles all over my body. What he said was...sweet beyond words. It hit my heart like a home-run. Junho probably would have said the same exact thing to me if he were in Mystery Guy’s shoes. Now that I think about it, he and Mystery Guy are practically the same. They both have red hair and they both know how to make a girl swoon with their words. “How about I make you a deal?” My ears perk up at the sound of his voice, “If you give me a week, I’ll make you forget about your ex. If I don’t make your pain go away in a week, I’ll leave you alone.”
You don’t normally see this happening on a daily basis, do you? It seems odd for a random person to go out of his way to help a heart-broken girl, doesn’t it? But to me... it doesn’t really seem weird or anything like that. It seems nice that he’s willing to try to soothe my broken-heart, but the thing is, I don’t think he’ll be able to. Even though I’m sitting next to this beautiful man who makes me feel butterflies in my stomach, I still know that in my heart I love Junho. Even after what he did to me, I still love the guy endlessly.
“You can try,” I respond after a few moments of thinking. “But if you do make me forget about him, what are you doing to do?”
He smiles at me boyishly and I feel my breathing quicken. “I’ll make you my girlfriend.”
