Nami's POV

I continued to drag Soo Kyung with me until we were outside and were far away from the building. She pulled out her wrist from my clenched hand and grabbed my shoulders to face her. My eyes were dead on dried up tears were left on my face.

"Nami-ah, what's happened? Are you okay? Did Chen hurt you?" She asked panickily.

I was avoiding eye contact and just stayed silent. I stared at the ground, waiting for my tears to come back. But it didn't, as I probably wasted all of it.

"Nami?"

She called my name and I finally looked up at her. I started to cry even if there only a few tears that managed to escape. She pulled me close to her and hugged me instead of asking. All I needed was her right now, my best friend. For a second I thought I didn't anyone else in the world but her.

~~~~~

It's been a few days since the incident. I haven't told Soo Kyung yet, or anyone. She knows we broke up. She won't ask why. And Chen has called me like 100 times. I didn't answer. I heard he came by our house, but I told my parents I refused to see him. He also came by the dorms. I refused to see him.

My parents know about it too. I finally told them when it was too late. Chanyeol and the rest have tried to call me too, just once though. I deleted all of them on my contacts, including Chen.

Now, all I'm doing is taking time off from my studies while Soo Kyung takes notes for me. I played with the flowers Chen gave to me back in Valentine's. I thought about throwing it away. But it was the only thing left to remind me of him. Which was honestly a bad thing.

For days I've been just walking around my room. I haven't been out either. I ate instant noodles the whole time, nothing else. I haven't said a word to Soo Kyung, or had a single conversation. It's been like that for a couple of days. I felt like a baby again, I ate, slept, and cried. I didn't know what to do anymore.

But today Soo Kyung and I actually had a conversation. "Nami, when are you going back to school?" She asked.

I was eating noodles silently when I looked up at her with questioning eyes. "Why are you asking?"

"Because you've been like this for the whole week and I can't stand it anymore. I'm getting worried about you."

I frowned and continued eating. "Isn't it my choice if I want to go to class or not?"

"Yeah but you've been eating the same thing every day! You've been sleeping for half of the day, crying yourself to sleep, and waking up like you're mute!" She explained.

I stayed silent in reply.

She sighed, "I think it's time that I asked what happened between you two."

I quietly put down my chopsticks next to the cup of noodles and stared at the floor. "It was my fault."

"What did you do?"

"I almost ruined his career and I've been a burden to him. So I guess he got tired of it and told me the truth. Accidentally."

She grabbed a chair and sat down next to me. "You were crying. Chen was chasing after you. It's obvious that he didn't mean it."

"But it's the truth. All of that romantic stuff we did was a dream. Now we're back to reality and we have to face the truth."

"Did you at least hear him out?"

I looked at her and hesitated, "No."

She sighed again. "That's the problem with you. You always jump to conclusions before hearing people out. So maybe it was your fault. But what are you going to do about it?"

I shrugged. "Nothing."

"Do you still love him?" I didn't answer her. "Fine, don't answer that. But do you think Chen is that kind of person? You think he would hurt you? Maybe unintentionally."

"Chen is a good person, I know that."

"So why didn't you hear him out? If you know he's a good person, why didn't you?"

"Cause I'm stubborn," I stated.

She was about to laugh but immediately pushed it away since it wasn't part of the mood. "True but that's not the answer I was expecting for."

I groaned and rested my head on the table. "Because I'm afraid to hear the truth come out from him instead of me."

"Is it really the truth?"

I quickly sat up and faced her. "What are you, a shrink? A love expert? Why are you making me think and just cut to the point?"

"You really are stubborn. It's because I want you to understand that you're wrong! You're taking all of this in all wrong."

"So what do you want me to do? Forgive him? Talk to him?"

She nodded. "Pretty much, yeah."

"I don't want to. Just give me time, okay?" I pleaded as I hugged my knees. Soo Kyung is right. I am taking all this in wrong. But what he did was still painful, maybe I just need time to think about things.

Chen's POV

After she left the building, the boys followed me outside. Some of them were calling out to me but I only ignored them. When I finally stopped to take a breath, I fell to my knees and wiped off the sweat falling down from my forehead. The members knelt down with me, some were standing.

They were asking if I was okay and asking what happened. I couldn't answer, all I could think of was Nami. She misunderstood, and it's my fault. I should've stopped her. I should've had explained it to her.

"Chen-ah, get up. Your knees will hurt." Baekhyun rubbed my shoulder. I got up as he said. "Now what happened?"

I looked at him and let it all out. I was about to tear up but I didn't want them to see. So I just explained it to them. "I should've been more careful," I replied after I finished.

"It's not your fault. You were pressured." Suho reassured me.

As we talked longer crowds of people started flowing towards us, making us flee back inside the building. We talked longer there until it was already late. I was happy I had someone to talk to. But it still didn't change the fact that I ruined Nami and I's relationship.

I don't think I could live without her.
