Chapter Nine

Seunghyun’s POV

“You! What are you still doing here? You’re supposed to hate me too! God! It was really stupid. I did it so that Dara will blame you for everything. Now, my plan backfires. She hates me now! And please, I don’t want your sympathy and…”

She was talking so much that I couldn’t even reply. So, I did the thing that could shut her up. I held her head with my hands and crushed my lips on her.

I know, I surprised her because after I pulled away, she had that what-just-happened look on her face.

I laughed.

“I knew it would shut you up. Now, would you please let me speak?”

She didn’t say any word, most likely because she still can’t get over the kiss. But she did nod her head.

So, with her permission, I started talking.

“I should be the on to say sorry to you. If I didn’t say those words, you wouldn’t have done it. So, I’ll take all the blame. But, Ms. Park Bom, could you please give this jackass another chance?”

I saw her look down and I took it as a ‘no’.

‘This is your punishment for being a jackass Seunghyun!’ I said as I mentally punch myself.

My thoughts were interrupted when she began to speak.

“I’m afraid to be hurt again. I’ve already done a lot of stupid things because of you. I don’t think I can risk being hurt again. I might even go crazy!”

I stared at her straight in her eyes to show the sincerity of what I am about to say.

“Look, I’m not going to promise that’s I’ll never hurt you again. I can promise you one thing though. I promise, I will love no other woman but you.”

Taeyang’s POV

I got a call from Jiyong earlier. I can’t believe Bom-noona would do such thing. Dara must be upset.

So, I rushed to their house because I know, my best friend needs some comfort.

But, when I arrived in their house, I saw Jiyong hugging Dara.

‘Taeyang! You’re so stupid!’ I said to myself. Once again, I forgot that he’s her boyfriend, and he’ll be there to comfort her.

‘I guess I’m not needed here.’ So, I silently crept out of the house, not waning to disturb them.

I was about to enter my car when I heard a phone ringing. I followed the sound and saw a phone inside Jiyong’s car. Good thing, the window was open so, I grabbed the phone.

I looked at the caller ID and noticed that an unregistered number is calling Jiyong.

I hesitated for a few moments whether to answer it or not. But, as I remembered that I don’t want to interrupt Jiyong and Dara inside the house, I just answered it.

I was about to say hello, but the person on the other line must be in a rush, because she won’t even let me speak. So, I just listened.

“Jiyong, this is Karen. Why did you leave? We were not finished yet. And please tell your girlfriend about it already. The sooner she knows, the lesser pain she will feel. Can you..”

I just couldn’t take it anymore! My blood started to boil and my mind went blank.

I couldn’t believe he’s cheating on Dara!

I thought he loves her? If only I knew this will happen, I wouldn’t have given her to him.

---------------------------------

Jiyong’s POV

Dara was pretty upset because of Bom-noona’s confession. But I made her understand the situation. Bom-noona is not that evil. She did it for a reason right?

She was crying non-stop and all I could do is hug her--- comfort her.

Then, we heard a loud ‘bang!’ I looked at the dorr and saw Taeyang standing there. But there was something different about him--- he’s mad!

I let go of Dara and approached my other best friend. He must be upset with Bom-noona too.

As I got near him, I saw him clenching his jaw and his fist.

“TY, what’s wrong?” I asked.

But I never got any answer. All I got were punches from him.

I heard Dara screamed.

“Taeyang! What are you doing? Stop hurting Jiyong!”

She placed herself in between me and Taeyang, probably because she knew that he couldn’t hurt her.

I massaged my now bruised face as I asked him “Why did you punch me man?”

I saw that he was trying his best to control himself not to kill me. But why would he want me dead anyway?

“Why? WHY? A girl named Karen called by the way. She said that you’re not finished yet. DAMNIT JIYONG! You’re cheating on Dara!” he said.

‘What?’ I said to myself as my eyes grew wide.

“Is this true?” Dara asked me with teary eyes.

I just stared at her. I couldn’t say it. It will break her heart more.

“You’re pathetic!” She said as she slapped me on the face.

I watched her leave with Taeyang and I felt my chest began to hurt again.

I followed them outside, not knowing what to do.

Heavy rain fell from the sky as giant tears rolled down my cheeks.

‘Ran after her Jiyong! Ran after her Jiyong!’

So, I did. I ran after the moving car.

I wish Dara could see my tears now, so that she would come back. But the rain… it washed my tears away.

The road was becoming more and more slippery. The car was moving further and further away. And the pain in my chest was becoming more and more unbearable.

I clutched my chest and I slipped on the road.

I curled myself in a ball, hoping to minimize the pain, but it never did. It even got worse.

My eye sight was becoming more blurry and the next thing I saw… was black.
