Why...
My Hurt Heart
“Where is he?” I wondered, looking at my watch. 7pm... He's late again. I sighed, getting up and walked to the bubble tea counter myself. Then, something from the corner of my eye caught my attention. Is that... Sehun? I smiled, skipping towards him.
“Sehunnie~ Where were you? I was looking for you all d-” I stopped, looking at the girl beside him.
“Oh. Erm... Hi Luhan. I was just...” He rubbed his neck awkwardly, avoiding eye contact. “This is my girlfriend, Ye Rin” Girl... Friend? Seriously? This is what I get the moment I return to Korea? I stared at him in disbelief, my heart shattering into a million pieces. I smiled, blinking away my tears.
“Hi Ye Rin. I'm Luhan from EXO M. Nice to meet you,” I reached out my hand for her to shake it. However, she gripped onto Sehun's elbow even tighter, not letting go. I flashed a cold stare at him, making sure he knew what he had done. He looked at me, glancing looks of apologies now and then but I knew he didn't really mean it. I waited so long for him... Just for him to tell me that he had a girlfriend? I could have just accepted Min Seok instead of staying loyal. At least that was better than my heart breaking the moment I went to find him.
“It's getting late... I'd better get going now. See you back in the dorm” I waved goodbye at him and Ye Rin then ran back. Why was I so foolish to think he would really wait for me? I would be better off without him anyway... I paused, looking at the keychain I got him. Then, I slammed it on the ground so hard that it shattered in just one blow. I could feel my cheeks get warmer and warmer, my tears just couldn't stop flowing. I didn't bother to fight it, I just couldn't. I broke down onto the floor, forgetting I was in a public place.
“Hey,” I heard a voice say. The figure then reached out his hand. I grabbed it, thanking him.
“You okay?” He asked. I slowly looked up. Min Seok... I nodded my head, wiping away all the tears that were streaming down my face. I flashed him an assuring smile and made my way through the dorm's door.
“Hi Luhan~ We were just discussing about the room arrangements for tonight,” Jongdae told me. I smiled and took a seat. Beside me was Sehun, who was busy texting away. I tried my best not to look at him, it would only bring back the painful memories.
“Okay so the arrangements will be; ZiTao and WuFan, Sehun and Luhan, Min Seok and Jongdae, YiXing and Joonmyun, Kyungsoo and Jongin, Chanyeol and Baekhyun. Any objections?”
I raised my hand, looking shyly at Sehun. “Can I switch places with Joonmyun? I'm more comfortable around YiXing...” Everyone stared at me in amazement, they always knew Sehun and I were the closest. YiXing patted me on the back, as if he knew what had happened. When I was ready to go to bed, I received a text:
From: Sehun
To: Luhan
Hi... Why did you want to switch with Joonmyun? Is it because of Ye Rin?
I glanced at the text for a while. Ye Rin... It's not because of her... I wish you knew how it's like to be me... I sniffled, holding back my tears.
“Want to talk about it?” YiXing turned around, smiling at me.
“Well... Sehun has a new girlfriend called Ye Rin. I...”
“Jealous? Sehun never mentioned any girlfriend to me. But...” He paused for a moment, then stopped. “Nevermind”
I looked at him suspiciously, then continued to reply Sehun.
From: Luhan
To: Sehun
Of course not, I mean, we're friends but I'm closer to YiXing. Perhaps this is better.
I closed my eyes, feeling my heart break and drifted off to sleep.
