Maybe One Day

"Why do we have to end everything when we can stay together?"

"For Pete's sake- Why can't you just think about it from my point of view?"

"I am! I am thinking about you, I am thinking about us! Why can't you understand that I am trying my best to understand you?"

"I just... I- I am sorry, we have to end it all. We can't continue doing this! Every passing day, our relationship turns into plain toxic."

"Why? What about the future we dreamt of together? What about us?"

 "I'm sorry, I have to go."

I woke up panting, sweat dripping down my forehead. My hand shot out for the glass of water on my side table, and I gulped it down quickly. When I set it back, I covered my face with both hands and let out a deep sigh.

"Every passing day, our relationship turns into plain toxic."  

She was right. I wasn't blind to it. The nights, once filled with cuddles and kisses, had turned into bitter, sleepless arguments. The beautiful thing we built together had slowly fallen apart—and we just watched it crumble. 

We'd been so busy chasing everything else that we forgot to take care of ourselves, and of each other. Every attempt to help only ended in shouting. One fight led to another until we both forgot what peace even felt like.

I remember how she used to yell at me whenever I asked her to have dinner together. The sad look in her eyes always broke me, even when she pushed me away. No matter how much I denied it, I knew—if we ever wanted to be happy again, we had to let each other go. 

My gaze fell on our old photo sitting on the table beside me. I smiled faintly, tracing the frame with my thumb, remembering the laughter behind those frozen smiles.

I was just about to drift back to sleep when—

"Momoring~!"

My best friend, Sana, barged into my room without even knocking. Mina followed behind her, calm as ever, completely ignoring the chaos that was about to break out and settled herself on the couch.

"Why are you still with Chaeyoung again?" Sana asked with fake innocence.

I mentally facepalmed. Mina shot her a glare but stayed quiet.

"Because you're the one having an affair with the couch ever since BamBam appeared," she continued, rolling her eyes.

There she went again, teasing Mina because Chaeyoung once thought she was seeing someone behind her back—all because she saw Mina kiss BamBam's cheek before leaving a café. Poor guy was visiting his stepsister and managing his restaurant business, but he still had to explain himself to Chaeyoung so she wouldn't break up with Mina.
