Hyunseung’s POV

Staring at the wall, I laid on my bed in deep thought. When I heard HyunA come in my room, I quickly composed myself so it would seem that I was asleep. She carefully placed blankets over me. The bed shifted a little so I assumed that she was sitting next to me. I couldn’t see her and she couldn’t see me. I was wondering what the heck she was doing in my room when I explicitly told her to stay away from me.

“I don’t know what’s bothering you. I don’t know what goes on in your mind either. But I wish you could see that I want to be there for you. I want you to rely on me. Is it that hard?” she said quietly.

“You like her that much? How come you can just give me a little of that? Just a little attention, just a little warmth? Do you know how it feels to be ignored?”

“Those are the words I’ve never found courage to say. Good night Jang Hyunseung” she said as she leaned over and planted a kiss on my cheek before she left.

The door closed momentarily. I laid frozen. I never expected this. I never expected her to end up having feelings for me. But why? Why fall for someone who obviously doesn’t feel the same way? I continued to stare at the wall in front of me. Remembering all the times she had offered her aid and I coldly rejected her. I was able to feel some sympathy for her. She shouldn’t have fell for me. She shouldn’t have because now it all ends here.

Junhyung’s POV

“I’m going to meet someone after school so don’t wait up for me. Ok?” Jiyeon said as she was getting her books out of her locker.

“Where are you going all the time?” I asked her curiously as I leaned beside the nearby locker.

“Oh… ah… just a friend. We haven’t seen each other in a long time” she awkwardly smiled.

Before I further interrogated her, I saw Jiyoung walk with difficulty as she was holding ten large hard covered books. I immediately left to grab the books out of her hand. She looked astonished to me. I flashed a smile and as we walked to the parking lot in front of the school, she looked aggravated at my presence.

“Hold on. I want to talk to you” I said to her as she placed her books in the car and was heading for the driver’s seat.

I entered the car at her reluctance and we sat in silence for a long while until she spoke. I was nervous because I didn’t want to hurt her feelings. I didn’t want to jeopardize our relationship because of what other feelings I had but I knew I couldn’t avoid it. I tried but it wasn’t going to be avoidable forever.

I cleared my throat as I spoke explicitly slow, “How have you been?”

“You know it’s a funny question to ask your girlfriend. How do you think I’ve been Junhyung?” she said, as her eyes didn’t leave the steering wheel.

“I’m sorry” I managed to whisper as I thought back to the phone call I heard a while back with Jiyoung’s father.

“It’s those words again. It’s always been like that. We haven’t spoken for four months. I’m sure you didn’t want to talk about just anything”

“Right… I didn’t. I don’t think I will be able to keep my promise to you. Things aren’t working the way I thought it was going to be. I’m making you unhappy and I don’t want to see you like this because of me. I think it’s time we break up”

The words echoed in the car. She finally looked at me with a blank facial expression.

“So this is how it ends. I mean nothing to you? Aha. I was expecting it but I thought ma
