for everything that haven't worked out as i wished
i deeply carve them as the reasons for the breakup
we were in a loop of arguing and regretting like crazy
sometimes i recall those bygone days

"eww, why is loser chae looking at you?" the disgusted tone in their voices made goeun feel utterly embarrassed. she ducked her head, untucking some of her hair from behind her ear to cover her red face.

though she wanted to disappear into thin air, she smiled at the thought of jisung defending her.

"she's not a loser." "because she's my girlfriend." "we're in love."

but none of those things were said.

"i don't know, bro. creepy."

creepy.

goeun knew he didn't really mean it, but that didn't make it hurt any less.

she didn't realize how much it affected her until something dripped onto her paper. goeun touched her cheek, facing her fingers to find them glistening with tears.

without asking for permission, the girl rushed to her feet and hurried to the restroom to save herself from the humiliation of a public breakdown.

jisung didn't run after her.
