Chaeyoung 

"What the fuck are you doing?!"

Somi yelled at me when she grabbed me from the edge of the wall. 

"Relax. I was just looking down to see the view." 

I said. But Somi started crying. 

She approached me and punched my arm lightly. 

"I thought… You're..you're going to jump! I really won't pray for your soul!" 

She yelled again while sobbing. She's a kid.

"By the way, Mina needs you right now.." 

I uttered. I received another punch from her. 

"You need someone right now too! I'm here." 

She said and hugged me. I can feel her sincerity.

Of all the people I wanted to thank, Somi is one of those. 

"Mina needs you more.." 

I uttered but Somi didn't let go of the hug. 

"Please be with her.."

I begged. She finally stepped back. 

"Why didn't you tell her your reason? I heard everything. 

Why did you let her think that it was all because you're guilty? 

Common Chaeyoung, we both know it was all because you love her."

She said. I can feel how Somi cares for me.

"I know I told you to stay away from her so I can do you favor.. 

But I realized.. 

I was just trying to make you avoid Mina because I'm jealous. 

I hoped that if I did you those favors, you can love me.. 

Chaeyoung, I like you." 

A sudden confession from Somi but I'm not surprised. 

I know she likes me and I took advantage of it. 

That's how cruel I am. 

"Stay with her, Somi. That's the last favor I'll ask.. 

And I know you care for her too. 

Not because I told you to stay with her, but because I know you enjoyed being Mina's friend. 

You can do that." 

I said and tried to walk away from her. 

My legs feel weak and my heart is still aching. 

"I'll tell her the things you didn't tell her. That it wasn't because---" 

"It won't change anything. It will just make her feel worse. It's better if she hates me." 

I cut her off and continued walking. 

I don't know where I'll go but I wanted to go somewhere far. 

Far from all of this. 

This isn't the first time I got tired, but this is the first time I feel like quitting and ending everything. 

I found myself in front of Dahyun's new place. 

I just stayed outside. Should I press the doorbell? 

Or let the destiny bring Dahyun to me? 

I stayed there for a couple of minutes without ringing the doorbell. 

Dahyun went out with Sana. 

Ah, if it's really meant to be, it will happen. 

"Yo Chaeyoung!" 

Dahyun greeted and approached me to give me a hug. 

Sana's reaction is still the same when she saw me at the convenience store. 

Surprised. 

Startled. 

When she noticed that I'm looking at her, she quickly avoided my gaze. 

"Wanna come over? We're about to buy something for dinner." 

Dahyun said. I'm still looking at Sana. 

She held Dahyun's hand. What's wrong with her?

"Yeah. I'll just wait inside your place." 

I said and went inside her place. It's huge. 

I roam around Dahyun's house. There's a lot of pictures. 

There's a picture of me and Tzuyu. 

And a lot more. 

She has a lot of friends. 

I went to the second floor and found an open room. I went inside and was surprised to see how messy it is. 

Gosh. 

There's a lot of undergarments on the floor. 

Don't tell me, they did something here?! 

Ah.. Really Dahyun. 

When I got bored roaming around, I went to the kitchen. There's a lot of beer so I drank some. 

"Hey, you haven't eaten yet but you almost finished all the beer?" 

I looked at Dahyun. She's too fast. She has a lot of food on both of her hands. 

"Where's your girlfriend?" 

I asked when I noticed that Sana is not with her. 

"Ah. She needs to go somewhere, that's why she didn't go with me." 

Dahyun answered while taking out the foods she bought. 

Does Sana secretly hate me or what? She's weird. 

"What brought you here, anyway?" 

Dahyun asked. 

I slowly walked closer to her and let my forehead bumped on her back. 

She stayed still and didn't utter any single word. 

I wanted to tell her the things I'm thinking but I'm afraid I'll be a burden. 

"Chaeyoung, you can tell me. I just left the condo but I never left as your friend." 

I heard Dahyun say. She turned to look at me and pulled me for a hug. 

"I know you've been suffering but don't forget that I'm willing to suffer with you. 

And please know that this isn't just your fault. 

Learn to forgive yourself. 

Don't be too selfless. 

I know you love her so much, but you need to love yourself more. 

I'm just here. We're here.. You can count on us. "

Dahyun tapped my back. For a moment, I felt peace but I still can't cry.

There's something that is keeping me from crying. 

It's like I'm being tortured and crying is not even an option.
