-ONE YEAR AGO

"why isn't he picking up??" i asked, clearly frustrated by my boyfriend. "i'm in the hospital, and it doesn't seem like he gives two shits at all."

"this isn't the first time, isn't it? kwon sejun's toxic, hyeona." yuhwa said.

i sighed and laid back. "i'll give him one more chance. one more."

just then, yuhwa let out a gasp. "you have to break up with him. this instant."

i looked at her. "what? why??"

"do you want me to show you?" she asked.

"what? what is it?? let me see." i grabbed yuhwa's phone out of her hands and looked at the screen.

i dropped the phone and closed my eyes in frustration. "it-it could just be a friend, right??"

i wanted to deny it. that my boyfriend who i did everything for was hanging with some girl while i was in the hospital. ignoring my calls when he clearly just posted on instagram. it pissed me off like hell.

i drew in a few breaths to calm myself down. "it's fine. it could just be a friend."

"you said that last time!!!" yuhwa scolded. "it's fine, he won't do it again. it's fine, everyone makes mistakes. how many times have you said that? how many chances have you given that ugly bastard-" she stood up, her fists clenched.

"it's fine!" i yelled. "i'll just talk to him. i can't make assumptions. i won't be that type of person."

"god hyeona, why are you normally so tough but when it comes to him you make the stupidest decisions?? if doesn't even care that you broke your leg and might not even be able to play volleyball again!"

"shut up!" i yelled. "if you're not going to support me, don't bother staying with me."

"you're cutting everyone out of your life for some idiot who doesn't even deserve you." she said, standing up and storming out the hospital room.

i let out a long sigh and dropped my head back. "what am i supposed to do?"

"why didn't you answer my calls?" i asked.

kwon sejun, my bastard of a boyfriend, avoided my eye contact. "i fell asleep. i couldn't get in touch with my phone, sorry. how are you-"

that lying bastard.

"let's break up." i said.

he looked at me in shock. "what?"

"i said, let's break up." i repeated.

"why??"

"not everything has a reason." i said. "just because."

"is it because i didn't answer one call?? h-hyeona! it's not like i cheated on you, it was one call."

"you're funny." i said. "it was multiple calls."

"why??"

"because. i don't feel like dating you anymore." everything i was saying wasn't completely true. it was what i had to do. sejun wasn't going to change. i'll play him like how he constantly played me.

sejun scoffed in disbelief. "are you one of those types of people who throws away someone because you simply got bored of them??"

no, that's only yourself. "it could be." i said. "i just don't like you like i used to."

"you can't be like this!"

"we don't have a reason to see each other anymore. let's stop this."

sejun stood up. "you'll regret it, i swear."

when he exited, i sighed for the 50th time today. he wasn't worth it.

but why did my heart hurt so much?
