After informing Taehyung of the breakup, Yeoju went to school with Jeongguk and went to class as if nothing had happened.
But I couldn't concentrate in class at all. It was because of the expression Taehyung had on his face when I told him we were breaking up.
I'd never seen Taehyung's expression like that. It was a mixture of so many emotions. Surprise, anger, sadness, fear—all mixed together. You'd never even had the chance to look like that before.
You always told me to break up or not, and you never thought that I would leave you, and every time you crossed the line a little, I crossed it all, so a part of you must have thought that if you begged, I would just let it go this time too. I know that you thought that if you begged like last time, I would just let it go.
But what should I do? I'm human, and I've become someone someone wants. If I told you this, what kind of expression would you make? Would you make that same pitiful expression again, or would you get angry and bewildered?
I was unable to concentrate on class and was lost in my thoughts when the door opened.
Professor: Why are you so late? It's the end of the semester, and you're already so busy. How can you possibly be so late?
“……”
The person who came in late was Taehyung.
“I’m sorry, I was taking a taxi but there was traffic so I couldn’t get there any faster.”
Professor: Come in and sit down.
"…yes."
Taehyung met eyes with the female lead who was sitting in the very back.
“…..”
“…..”
When the female protagonist turned her head, Taehyung took a step forward and sat down.
“….”
(Why are you looking at me like that…)
“…? Hey, what’s going on with you and Kim Taehyung?”
"why?"
“Hey, Kim Taehyung, why is your expression like that? Is the look in your eyes really that sad?”
“….”
“Did he cry?”
“Did you cry?”
“Hey, your eyes are red? Did I see something wrong?”
“…Oh, I must have seen it wrong.”
(I must have seen it wrong.)
“Did you fight with Kim Taehyung?”
"no."
“Then why is that kid like that?”
“….”
“..Hmm~ So you broke up?”
“Wh,what;; How did you know?”
“Hey, hey, hey~ Our innocent hey~ I’ve been friends with you for 8 years.”
“Ah.. So lying doesn’t work.”
“Yeah, right haha”
“That kid’s expression is rotten and his eyes are like that, so you must have kicked him?”
"huh.."
"Why did you say we should break up? You said you wouldn't break up when I told you to."
“….”
“Aren’t you going to tell me why?”
"…that is…"
“Okay, if it’s hard to tell you now, tell me when you feel better.”
“..I cheated on you.”
"what?!"
Professor: What's going on there?
All attention was focused on the two at the sound of their friend's shout.
“Oh, no;; Sorry..”
“Haha;; Sorry.. I was so surprised.”
“That makes sense.”
“Isn’t he crazy? Did you see him cheating on her with someone?”
“Ayun..”
“Ayun? Kim Ayun?? The Kim Ayun I know??”
"uh…"
“You’re not crazy, are you?”
“Yeah, that bitch, every time she saw Kim Taehyung, her eyes would glare, which was really strong.”
"Okay, Kim Taehyung was wrong to fall for it too. Just leave him alone. We've broken up anyway."
"Yeah, we broke up for good. We should've broken up a long time ago. What's this seven years? It's been a lot of heartache."
“…I see… I wasted my time.”
“….”
“Shall we go for a drink later?”
“Good.. haha”
Jiiing _
The phone vibrated, causing Yeo-Jin to pick it up and check the notification.
There was a text message from Jeongguk.
Psik _
“You didn’t even eat the map.”
Suddenly _
"…? who."
“Oh, surprise;;”
“Hey, what are you doing with Jeon Jungkook?”
“Oh, but what is it…;”
“I told you last time, Jeon Jungkook, you really like him, right? He only does that to you.”
“I said no.. Why are you only doing this to me? I joke around and have fun with you too.”
“Hey, you’re the one who really picks fights with me, and you’re the one who takes care of me. Are you and I the same?”
“I bet my ass off because he likes you.”
“I said no..;;”
(At this point, you should just become a shaman..)
Then the vibration was felt again.
“……”
“Oh… my ex-boyfriend and my current crush~”
“Oh, he’s not my crush.”
“Hey, you still haven’t changed your name?”
“I didn’t have time to change it yesterday..”
“If it’s an excuse, change it quickly. Even if it’s not an excuse and it’s the truth, change it quickly.”
“Okay, I’ll change it..”
“…..”
I didn't know. I knew I was doing that... I guess it felt awkward because it had been so long since I'd felt that way after always trying to accommodate her, but when she said she would accommodate me, I felt awkward.
Psik _
“Hey, I guess I’ll have to drink later tonight.”
“Yeah, but you’re not going to answer Kim Taehyung?”
“I have to do it.”
You read it as soon as I sent it, as if you were waiting for my reply.
You should do that more often than not. Why are you doing it now?
I didn't want to respond to your texts anymore. This time, I won't be swayed by you. I won't be swayed by you again. I'm really breaking up with you now.
