CHAPTER Twenty-Nine:

The  Necklace

' Oppa, ' a familiar voice called making Dara stiffen in her place. She snapped her eyes open only to see the last girl she would want to see. Jiyong slowly pull himself away from her. She just stared at Jiyong with questioning eyes. She felt a lump formed on her throat as she her eyes shifted to Jiyong back to Chaerin, then back to Jiyong once more. The reason of his absence, the reason why she waited hours in rain was her, it was Lee Chaerin. She tried to swallow the lump on her throat, it feels like her breath is slowly leaving her body. Her fist clenched tightly as she tried her very best to stop her every tear, to ignore all the pain that she is feeling right now. 

' We still need to fix things regarding my enrollment, ' CL said as her eyes shifted not only at Dara but to her friends. When her eyes landed on him, she felt her heart constricted. Her eyes was glued on him as she tried her best not to hyperventilate. Her gaze landed on the silver thing dangling on his neck. He was still wearing it, still holding to it. She closed her eyes tightly for seconds trying to regain herself. ' Op--, ' she wasn't able to finish her sentence when he suddenly grabbed his necklace and pulled it causing it to break. She felt as if her heart fell to the ground with a crashing sound. She even find it hard to breath. She then turned her gaze away from him.

' Wae!? What did you just do? ' Daesung exclaimed as he turned to Seung Ri who was now gripping the necklace he had protected, he had wore half of his life. ' Seung Ri, what's the matter you were ready to go ballistic when someone dares to touch that necklace and you just broke it out of the blue? ' Youngbae added. ' It doesn't matter now, it's broken anyway, ' he said flatly, as his eyes landed on her. 

Like her promise, it's broken.

He can't even decipher how painful he is feeling right now. But most of all he can't decipher how come his heart still pound fast, how come he felt so happy seeing her despite the pain she just gave. CL tried to regain herself again, tried to stop the stinging in  the corner of her eyes. ' Oppa, let's go, ' she smiled forcely at him as she cling to his arm. Jiyong just gave her a timid smile as he nodded. Then without any words for Dara, without saying sorry, without glancing at her. He left together with CL. 

Dara just watch him as he walked away with the girl he truly loves. She doesn't know what to feel. She just felt so much pain that it's making her numb. ' Dara, ' TOP whispered as Dara's tears fell from her eyes, as it crawls to her cheeks leaving a burning trail behind. She fell to her knees as she started to cry. Cry the pain she is feeling, cry to her heart's content but why does it feel like she's not crying hard enough for all the pain to just leave her. 

' Dara, ' Bom whispered as she hugged her friend. From the time she cried that's the time they realized that she was really inlove with him. She loves him too much. ' Bom, what was that for? What was that hug for?! I can't understand a thing! Is it our last hug? Is he breaking up with me? Is he leaving me? Thanking me? Apologizing? What was that for!!? I can't understand a thing!! ' she broke into loud bitter cries once more as Bom locked her in her arms. The boys just gritted their teeth, as their fist tightened. ' He's stupid, ' TOP whispered angrily. They can't believe that they will live a day to see her like that. To see her so broken that it's killing them also.
