-Hyuna's POV-

It is the day after Christmas. I was lazing around in bed when I heard a knock on my door. Memories from last night kept flashing in my head since I woke up. From the red carpet to the guests to the amazing birthday cake. Most importantly,memories of Nickhun and the other members. I was just reliving the memory of Junho saving me from the drunk stranger when I heard the knock again. "Come in!" I said.

Nickhun pushed the door open slowly and he walked in with a tray. "Morning dear. I thought you'll be tired after last night so I decided to bring breakfast to you." Nickhun said with a really sweet smile. I couldn't help but melt when he gave me that smile. It was really really thoughtful of him. "So what do you want to do today?" Nickhun asked. "Mm.. We could go for a walk by the beach?" I suggested. I love walks by the beach. It was just so romantic to me. And so, to the beach we went.

Luckily for us, it was not too crowded. With shades and a straw hat, nobody seemed to recognise Nickhun. We simply walked and held hands. No words are needed. We walked to a wave breaker eventually and we sat down enjoying the breeze. It was really relaxing and calming especially after what happened last night. I am honestly confused when I remember last night. But one look from Nickhun makes me forget my confusion.

That night, Nickhun brought me out to a cute little cafe for dinner, just like the one that we had our first date. I was quite surprised that he knew such a place. As I sat down and Nickhun took his seat opposite me, I couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with our silence. It was nothing like what i experienced by the beach. It was the first time the silence between us felt so awkward. I decided to ignore my feelings and look at the menu.

"Oh dear, there are so many choices. I can't decide what to have. This steak and this burger looks so good." I thought out loud. "Let's order both. This way, you will get to eat both." Nickhun said, smiling to me. Ain't that thoughtful of him? We had pleasant small talk during the course of the dinner. But somehow, I couldn't get rid of this naggy feeling that something is wrong and that something horrible is about to happen. After dinner, he brought me out for a slow walk along the river. As I walked along the river, I waited for Nickhun to say something. Eventually, I had enough of the silence and I gently tugged Nickhun to a stop.

"You do have something to tell me right? You were different during dinner." I said.

Nickhun simply let off a sigh. "You are right. There is something I've been meaning to tell you. I'm sorry but I don't think that we should continue with our relationship. I am so sorry that it had to be today but I really don't think that we should be deceiving ourselves anymore. It is obvious that we would eventually break up so there won't be much difference doing it now."

I simply can't comprehend what Nickhun just said. Did I just hear break up? I stood and stared at Nickhun like I was a child who couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Hyuna, please be true to your own feelings too. You know who you truly love. I should have put an end to this a long time ago. I am so sorry that I was being selfish and wanted you to myself." Nickhun continued. "I am sure you will be happier with others." I am still speechless. I have no idea what to say to him. I don't know what to say to keep him or is it because Nickhun's words are true? "Well, I am sure you will need time alone. I know the way back to TopStars. So this is goodbye for us. I really do hope we get to remain as good friends though. Goodbye, Hyuna." Nickhun whispered as he gave me one last hug. All I can do is stand there and not have a breakdown. It was like my fairytale was coming to an end. It was like a dream that was coming to an end.

Unfortunately, it was not just a dream. Nickhun eventually turned his back on me and left. Thereafter, I could only slump on the bench and try to make myself believe reality. As I sat there, reality slowly started sinking in and the tears came. I sat out there by the river for a long time, crying as and when the tears came. I couldn't bring myself to go home yet. I can't bear facing reality in the face, to know that everything just ended. It was cold as I was wearing a sleeveless top. However, I just sat and thought, sat and cried.

Eventually, I felt a presence behind me. Some part of me hoped that it was Nickhun, some part hoped he would never see me like this. The next moment, I felt the person put a jacket around my bare shoulders. I look up in surprise.
