THE BEGINNING OF OUR END [2YEON]

CHAPTER 58

"Well, I just called to tell you how wonderful Tsushima is, it's a place I'm visiting at the moment." Jeongyeon continues. "It's hard at first because of the language barrier but I knew a few words thanks to Mina, Sana, and Momo. After some time things start becoming better. Who would have thought it'll feel this good to walk around without any worries, without the thought that someone might be following me. They would call me but not because they wanted a picture or an autograph. They would call me because we became friends. Ohh and I did make friends with an Obasan here, she owns a farm and she makes ice cream the old fashion way, all fresh. You should visit whenever you have time, I'm sure you'll love it."

Nayeon gets it Jeongyeon is happy and she has nothing against it but hearing it still hurts in some sort of way.

"And thank..." The taller girl paused and cleared her throat. "Thank you for loving me. I just thought I always tell you I love you but never about how thankful or grateful I am to have you. I know, I know." She chuckles. "You're gonna say you didn't do anything, you're always been like that. You always think that everything you have was given to you, it's never been the other way around. You always think that you don't deserve anything even though we both know you've worked hard for it. In truth you never realized how selfless you are, always thinking about others. I should've known sooner, you've been working too hard for me, right? I realized that what you've been doing was all for me, for us. I should've been more patient. But Nayeon even if you think you didn't do anything, even if you just sit next to me and do nothing all day, I'm still grateful. Because that's the only thing I want, the only thing I need was you next to me.

But we both know it's not the case anymore. I'm still happy for the short time you've chosen me. Uhm Jihyo did tell me you found out what happened that night, even tho I'm still sorry. But we both know that's not really what brought us here, we never really got to talk about it but I guess it's just we did things too fast it almost felt like we were rushing into something like somehow the end will be with us soon. I would probably regret things from now on but being loved by you would never be one of them.

Haha, I'm all over the place, I don't even think I'm making any sense right now." Jeongyeon makes this awkward laughter and it just broke Nayeon again. "Well, I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm glad it was you after all. It doesn't matter how quickly things happened between us nor how we ended.

I'm happy it was you, Nayeon.

I also called to let you know I'm signing the papers, Mina told me you've made up your mind. I know, there's no need to call for that. I just thought I should tell you I'm not mad, probably upset because it means I can no longer grow old with you but if you think this is how it should be then I'm okay, I guess? I mean if it's really something you want then I can make do with the pain. Mianhae, I've been talking for a while, I should go. You're probably busy doing something."

And out of nowhere Nayeon just got up, she walks towards her bag where her phone was. But she stopped in front of it hesitating.

"What did that guy said again? The one from your favorite movie? Oh right! "You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you do have some say in who hurts you." Did I get it right?" Jeongyeon chuckles. "He was right, this is my choice and I like it."

"Don't say it. P-please don't say it." Nayeon said as her lips tremble. A tear dropped from her eye but she quickly wiped it off.

"Be happy and live well. Goodbye Im Nayeon." Jeongyeon said.

And she thought she have made up her mind. Hearing Jeongyeon's voice after a while just made things complicated in her mind, it made everything irrelevant. The concrete plan she had was broken down into pieces. Nayeon starts to doubt herself nor her decision. Quickly she picks up her phone.

"Jeong?" It's been a while but the name in her lips tasted sweet just like the first time it came out of her mouth.

*BEEP*BEEP*

But Im Nayeon was late, just like she always has.
