Goosebumps appeared on my skin and that familiar feeling of being cold spread across my body. I looked in the mirror, and by seeing myself in that familiar uniform I couldn't help but feel cold. The iron-clad uniform was somehow ice cold on my skin- make me wanna strip it right now.

I couldn't help but free anxious about the thought of going back to school. I sighed and stared at my reflection. It has been a week since I and Jimin 'officially' broke up. Did it affect me? No, maybe I cried for a couple of hours but then it didn't feel anything. Maybe I'm too numb to feel anything, I finally achieved that state where tears no longer come out of my eyes no matter how much I want to cry and let them out.

I sighed and took my bag from the floor and exit my room. I saw dad who was preparing breakfast. He looked at me as soon as he felt my presence.

"Here, have your breakfast-"

"I'm not hungry dad." I declined. His eyes saddened, nevertheless he nodded.

"Sure, I'll drop you off at school."

"No need, thank you, dad." I walked out and waited for the lift. I looked up from my feet when I heard familiar voices, coming from the flat in front of you. The door opened, my eyes fell on Sungo who walked out. He was walking toward the stage elevator but stopped when his eyes fell on me. He tore his gaze away and took the stairs instead.

"Sungo," I called him out, my voice quivered. Seeing my best friend after a long time made me overwhelmed, but seeing him ignore me as if I was invisible did harm to my heart. "Am I that despicable that you're ignoring me like I'm invisible?" He stopped and looked at me.

"Yes, yes you're." He was right, but then again his words felt like someone stabbed me right in my heart.

"Why? Just because Yo-"

"Just because?" His eyes widened and he continue. "It's not 'just' because you cheated on Jimin. It's because you cheated on Jimin."

"But-"

"Don't you dare you to say it." He stopped me before I could speak. "I'm sorry Yejin, but I can't support you or be with you 'just' because you're my best friend, I can't be with you because I've morals, unlike you. Because of you and your revenge, someone tried to commit suicide. Don't you feel shame in yourself?"

I didn't speak, instead, I just looked at him. No doubt, he was being right. I made a mess, a huge mess. Things would have been right if I was just selfish- but I couldn't and that was my problem. I closed my eyes and memories once again played in front of my eyes, and my heart once again pained when I recalled those incidents.

"I don't know your and Jimin's past, nor do I want to. The only thing we know is that Jimin is bad, but you are the worst." He spoke one last time and left, leaving me all alone at the staircase. My knees wobbled as I climbed down. The faint ache in my heart constantly reminded me of my deeds, my dumb deeds.
