I walked to the park while rain was gradually pouring down. My boyfriend called me to meet me at the park. I sat down already knowing what he would say. My vision got blurry as tears filled my eyes.
"You're here..." I said as I feel his presence standing in front of me holding an umbrella.
"You're all wet. Why did you come even if it's raining."
"This is how much I love you..."
"I'm sorry... But I lost my love for you... I love you.... But I'm not in love with you..."
"I know..." I looked up at him and stood up.
"I'm sorry that I wasn't enough for you... That I have a lot of things that you wanted... But I couldn't give..." I sobbed a little.
"I'm sorry for shaking your heart. Even though I know that we wouldn't be longing."
"You bad guy..."
"So... Let's break up..."
"I knew that was coming..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Well... Thank you for appearing in my life Myungho..." I walked pass him hoping to get struck by lightning.
"Wait... Can you help be court.... Your best friend?"
"Huh? Eliana?"
"Y-yes... I'm sorry that I loved her when we were together..."
"I have nothing to say anymore. We're nothing but strangers.... But sure..." I walked away not turning back slowly singing my heart out.
"In another life.... I would be your girl... *Sniffles* we'd keep all our promises... Be us against the world... *Sobs* in another life... I would make you stay.... So I don't have to say you were.... The one that got... Away... The one that got away..."
My brother Dino pulled up in the side.
"Go without me Dino. I'm soaking wet so you should go on first."
"I'm not driving without you nuna."
"You hard headed guy for a brother."
He came out and help me sit in the passenger side.
"Thank you..."
~~~~~~
"Hey bestie!!" Eliana said running to me.
"Hey. How was your weekend?" I asked walking inside the school campus.
"Great... I guess? She said smiling. "What about yours?" She added.
"Well... Me and Myungho broke up..."
"What?! But you love him so much!" She whined.
"I do... But it's time to let go of things that aren't for you." I looked at Myungho and he glanced at Eliana. "It looks like he's watching you."
"Eyy that's your ex boyfriend. No way."
"But I approve."
"I don't wanna be a bad friend."
"Whatever Eliana. Let's go to class."
We walked to class. After that both of us made our way to the cafeteria.
"I'll order for us. Just stay here!" Eliana said. She's always so bubbly. I can tell why Myungho likes her.
"Okay I won't." I laughed while she walked to the counter.
I feel Myungho sit beside me looking at me.
"So??"
I took out my notebook and ripped the paper off giving it to him.
"I wrote all about Eliana in that very paper. If you loose it. It's not my business anymore to interfere. So if you have questions you better read what I wrote down. PROPERLY. Anyways leave."
"Thanks Y/n. I owe you one."
"Yes you do but no thanks. I'm better off with myself than you helping me out. That will make me fall for you even more."
"Well... Thanks I guess..." He said walking away.
I sighed and put my head on the table. A few minutes later Eliana got here.
"Heyy what's with the long face?" She asked pouting. I smiled at her and said.
"It's nothing. I didn't get a lot of sleep because Dino was partying all night."
"Aww... Well, get a lot of sleep when you arrive home okay?"
"Okay. Umm... Eliana... What would you do if your boyfriend is in love with your best friend?"
"I don't know. I've never experienced it."
Like what I was expecting. She never had a boyfriend. We began eating and gossiping about boys we like. I wasn't really having any of it since I just broke up with my boyfriend.
"Look. I think Myungho's looking at you." I teased not liking it.
"I can't be with him he's your ex boyfriend."
"What if I agree??"
"Well... I guess I can give it a shot. If you say so."
"That's the spirit." I said.
If she was really my best friend, she would hate Myungho for leaving me. I'm having second hand thoughts from her. I came home full of tears and hugged my brother.
"Oh? Nuna what's wrong?" Dino asked rubbing my back.
"I don't know if Eliana is really my best friend..."
"It's okay nuna... What do you say let's have a siblings night out? Just the two of us?"
"I-id... Love that."
"Then let's go!" He pulled me in the car.
"Where are we going Dino?"
"We're going to the arcade of course! Now let's go!" He yelled out like a kid
We sang songs and even acted as if we were in a kdrama. Dino is the kind of guy I like. I prefer guys who are loud and caring instead of quiet and could care less. If only he wasn't my biological brother, I would surely date him. We got to the arcade and played games and ate junk food.
"Dino... Thanks for treating me like a queen."
"It's nothing serious nuna. You're already my queen!" He said looking at me with a kind smile. I laughed a bit and it faded away as he held his chest and coughed.
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing. I think I have a fever after playing in the rain yesterday."
"Aish. Don't scare your nuna like that."
I put my arm around his shoulder.
We were sitting in the bench looking at the sunset.
"Dino have you ever experienced having a girlfriend... And she ended up liking your best friend?"
"No. I've never been in a relationship. I'm still a baby. Your baby."
"Of course..." I smiled and got up putting out my hand for him to grab.
"C'mon let's go to a KTV!"
"Okay!"
~~~~~
"Woah namanae geudaeyo naegen jeonburaneun mal gobaekhan jeogi isseutnayeo nae unmyeongijwo sesang kkeuchiradeo"
"Jigyeojugo shipeun neo"
"Baby oh oh oh oh saranghallaeyeo oh oh oh oh ni nunbichgwa ni misowa geu hyang gikkajido baby oh oh oh oh gieoghaejwoyoeonjena uli hamkke isseumeul I love you~"
"Woah! Nuna's on fire!!"
"Thank you!" I smiled.
"I didn't know you sing so nicely." He sat down.
"Same here."
"We should probably get going though. I think it's already late."
"Are you kidding me? Kimbap kidding?? I'm having the time of my life! Let's act like teenagers for the night!"
"Okay fine."
~~~~~~
"Oh my gosh Y/n thank you thank you thank you!!!" Eliana hugged me tightly spinning me around.
"What did I do?!" I said excited
"Myungho just confessed to me yesterday!"
"Oh. I'm happy for you."
"A-are you sure you're not mad?"
"No... It's fine. I don't need a man. I have my brother." I said proudly. "I have the best brother in the world!"
"You sure are confident about your brother."
"Of course."
Lunch time came. Myungho and Eliana got so lovey dovey making me a bit jealous.
"A-anyways. Let's eat lunch.
"I'll get us lunch. Y/n?"
"No it's fine. Dino's coming any moment."
I waited. Myungho and Eliana started eating. I waited more. And more. It's getting late. Lunch is about to end.
"Where is Lee Chan?" I asked myself. "I'll be back. I have to go to the bathroom." I walked away and cried in the bathroom. I miss Myungho... He was once mine but not anymore. The bathroom wasn't separated from the girls and boys. It was only in one and all cubicles. I felt pretty uneasy and opened one of the cubicles, my world fell apart.
"No... NO NO NO!!!"
The end.
