Why Do Hearts Break?The wind was pulling my hair towards the current, and I smiled up the beautiful afternoon sky as Baekhyun drove back to Seoul.
Baekhyun and I went to Bucheon, our homeplace, for the weekend to visit some family members. It has been our monthly ritual for 6 years. We promised each other before that even though we become a couple, we should not forget our families back at Bucheon.
"How long have we been doing this?"
I answered without looking at him. "6."
From the corner of my eye, I can see Baekhyun simply smiling while still having his eyes on the road. I saw him look at me, and I casually looked at him too.
"How long do you think we'll still be doing this?"
I don't know where the question came from. I just had to conclude that he asked that to show how much he still wanted to be with me. "How long do you want?"
He chuckled. "I'm pretty sure it won't be forever."
I stared at him.
"Because we don't have a forever, you know."
"That's just a figure of speech, Baekhyun."

"I'll be dropping you off at your apartment," Baekhyun said.
I turned to him. "What?"
The traffic light turned red. Baekhyun sighed and smiled again. He looked at me. "I'm just gonna drop you off at your apartment for now because I'll just be doing something."
I stared at him. "Doing what?"
He paused.
"Doing what?" I repeated.
"I'll just clean my own apartment. I think you should do the same with yours too."
The traffic light went green, but my mind hasn't moved forward.
"Baekhyun."
"Yeah?"
"What's wrong?"
"What do you mean?"
"You've been pushing me away."
He didn't look at me. Of course he can't. He's driving. But I wanted him to look at me. Instead, he answered. "No,
