5 : easier said than done?

I smirked at him. He is giving me that blank treatment, not letting me get into his head. I don't know what he is thinking but i suppose he's trying to get to know me.

Mutual reasons? You can't fool me.

"Opening myself up will make me lose my mystery..." I smirked at him.  "It makes me less interesting." I retorted back at him and took another slice.

"Let's talk about something other than me. How about your ex?"

He looked away, feeling uncomfortable.

Saw that opportunity? We can attack him now he got his walls down.

"You love her alot to the point you're thinking about suicide now huh..."

He answered me with silence. Seems like he doesn't want to open up just yet.

"Okay nevermind-"

"I really love her."
I was appalled that he actually answered.

I smiled abit.

"Then why did you said those words to her? Why do you want to hurt her-"

"Because she hurt me too."

"So you're getting vengeance? How childish.."

"It's just how life is. What you did to others will eventually come back to you."

He stated the golden rule doesn't he?

"But you still want to be with her."
He went silent again, not wanting to answer.

"You know what? You're confusing me."

"I feel like you're just pushing and pulling back. How about just tell her that you still love her and go back to how you were before? That will solve all of your problems!!"
I raised my voice abit. I can't understand his logics. I mean, i don't want them to be together again since i will fail my mission but at least i want to know why.

"Easier said than done."
He answered ahortly, biting on the slice of the pizza he took.

"What do you mean? I feel like she still loves you though."

"She only did that for the show."
He said, staring at the pizza on his plate.

I can see how sad he is.

"The show? What do you-"

"You see. She'll never come back again so the least we can do is to get revenge. Let's not talk about it for now..."
He said and stood up from his seat.

What is the show he's talking about?

Is it.... What I am thinking?

"You want cola?"

"Sprite will do."
I said and smiled.

He left me there for a moment, I saw the screen of his phone lit up, a notification toggle of a message was written on it.

It's not my intention to look at it but I grew curious. Pfft-

I saw the text message...

It was from Jiwon.

Wait- you mean that Jiwon from yesterday?

His ex?

I see...

"Jay! Someone messaged you!"
I shouted.
He walked back to the living room with the soda on his hand and a glass of water.

"Who?"

"Jiwon. She said she's coming."
i told him and gave him his phone. His eyes went wide for a milisecond before he checked the message.

He threw his phone to the table and sighed, rolling his eyes.

"What will you gonna do? You want to play pretend?"
I said, sticking on the plan we talked about yesterday.

He sighed, closing his eyes to think.

"I'll talk to her first. Only the two of us."

Third Person's

"Hey..."
Jay opened the door, revealing Jiwon from the other side. She was holding a small box of his belongings.

"I just... Came here to give you these.."
She said and gave him the box of his belongings that he was keeping on her unit. Jay looked at them, his cold eyes then pierced towards her.

"You should have thrown them away."
He coldly said and looked away.

Jiwon bitterly smiled.

"I can't. They are memories..."

She said and looked down.

Jay looked at the box, taking it from her hand and glancing at her again.

Their gazes met, Jay's eyes started to soften.

Jiwon looked away, feeling guilt. She walked towards the elevator.

Jay paused for a second before following her.

He gulped his own saliva, recollecting his thoughts.

"I feel like you're just pushing and pulling back. How about just tell her that you still love her and go back to how you were before? That will solve all of your problems!!"

Haru's word made an impression to him.

"Jiwon, wait."
He said, making her stop on her tracks and turning towards him. Jay looked away, refusing eye contacts.

"Jay..."

Here goes nothing.

His eyes met hers. The warmth came back as he showed him how much he love her.

"Can we start... all over again?"
