001 - Cheating On You

"WHAT THE HELL, JUNGWON?!"

Hyena felt her breath hitch as she stared at the scene before her— her boyfriend and a random girl in disarray on the bed, clothes half undone, hair wild, and careless kiss marks staining Jungwon.

Both of them froze instantly, panic surging through their veins, neither able to move as shock stole their voices, while they scrambled for words to justify their disgusting actions.

Time seemed to stretch as Hyena stared at them, the truth settling painfully into her chest. Tears streamed down her face, her heart growing heavier by the second, doubt gnawing at her sense of worth.

She even began to think ;

What gave him the courage to cheat?

How long has this thing been going on?

Was this the first time?

Why'd he choose her?

No..

Why cheat at all?

Jungwon rose at last, adjusting his shirt in a pathetic attempt at decency. He reached for Hyena, guilt clinging to his movements, but she evaded him, looking at him with pure disgust, disbelief still weighing heavy in her chest as her breathing grew unsteady.

Even she was unsure of what to do or say, because who could have prepared her for this moment to arrive?

She never saw Jungwon as the type to mess around in a relationship, she always thought he'd find it a hassle to do such a thing— but I guess she had it all wrong.

As much as she wanted to scream and be angry at him— for some reason, she was way more silent and collected than she intended to be.

People had long labeled her as someone who seemed so numb, nearly heartless— and standing there now, it felt like she was confirming every cruel assumption.

Maybe they were right after all.

Jungwon took a shaky breath and looked at her, guilt eating him alive as he tried— futilely— to find his voice.

"I- I'm sorry Hyena..I-It's a mistake..I didn't mean t—"

*Slap!*

Hyena's palm struck Jungwon's cheek, the sound echoing through the room, while the stranger still on the bed gasped in horror, her body trembling as she watched.

At this rate, Jungwon wasn't even surprised anymore, if anything— he was more surprised of the fact that a slap was all he got, because he knew he deserved way more than just that.

Hyena's vision began to blur due to the tears continuously welling up in her eyes as she stared at Jungwon who couldn't even meet her gaze due to guilt.

"How long have you been cheating on me?"

She finally spoke— voice slightly trembling as the boy's heart raced while slowly lifting his head.

"I'm sorr—"

"I didn't ask for an apology, I asked how long have you been doing me wrong, Jungwon?" Hyena cut him off coldly as she tried not to let her emotions get the best of her, knowing it was the only way she could get clear answers from him.

The way his name rolled out of her tongue so dryly made him feel even more worse, realizing just how fucked he was.

He swallowed hard before speaking.

"This is the first time." He told her the truth, certain she wouldn't believe him.

"Okay, we're done here. I'm leaving."

But to his surprise, she didn't doubt his answer— rather, she just fully accepted it like she already knew he was being honest.

And that honestly terrified him even more.

As Hyena moved to leave, Jungwon's hand shot out before his mind could catch up, fingers closing around her wrists and making her flinch in surprise.

"I-I'm sorry, Hyena..please..I know this sounds crazy, but—"

"Yeah Jungwon, it does sound crazy. So stop. I know what your explanation is gonna sound like already, and it doesn't matter, cause what's done is done, and I don't want anything to do with you anymore." Hyena coldly remarked as she shook his grip on her arm off.

"BUT I ONLY DID IT CAUSE YOU'VE JUST BEEN SO FUCKING DISTANT LATELY, AND YOU NEVER EVEN WORRIED ABOUT ME, EVER!"

The bitterness finally won. Jungwon raised his voice, unable to contain himself any longer, and being sorry for her was no longer enough to define what he felt.

He was also starting to get upset and petty.

"What?"

Hyena managed to speak in a tone that was low, unable to believe the words that came out of Jungwon's mouth just now.

No way was he justifying his acts and blaming it on her.

She could only stare at him wide eyed, waiting for him to take it back— to snap out of it and realize what he had just said—

But he didn't.

...He fucking didn't.
