Chapter 22 Closed Doors
Hiro stopped the car at the side of a lonely dark highway. I can hear my sobs and cries and probably he does too. I can see him staring at me through my peripheral vision. After a few minutes, I wiped my tears off of my face and silent myself.
"(Y/N)." Hiro called me. "Do you feel guilty for leaving him?" He suddenly questioned.
I paused before slowly turning my head to the side to look at him. It was a direct question for me and I was not expecting that. I blinked a few times and looked down as I slowly nodded my head. I heard Hiro sigh. I feel bad because he needs to see me like this and deal with me in this state. I'm so embarrassed. I'm probably giving him a hard time.
"Don't do that to yourself." Hiro spoke in a cold voice. "What you did was right. He might take you for granted if you keep showing him that you give chances to others easily."
"I trust him."
"You do. But the question is: does he give value to it? Does he even know just how much you trust him? (Y/N), if he does then he wouldn't have go out with another girl and kiss her like you don't even exist."
"I . . d-don't know."
"See? I don't want to discourage you. But I know Hyunjin. He's a playboy. He's been with many other girls. He plays with their hearts, and sometimes even sleep with them. After that, he'll leave them and get another one. It's an endless cycle." Hiro narrated, making my heart suffocate.
He suddenly held the both of my shoulders and faced me with a sincere look. "And as your friend, I don't want you to be one of his victims."
"T-this is not the first time I saw him kissing a girl." I mumbled making Hiro frown. "He brought a girl with him one night and made out with her on the sofa. I saw it."
"See?" He made a clicking sound using his tongue.
"But that was before he admitted his feelings for me. I like him too, Hiro." I mumbled, my voice shaking.
Hiro inhaled and held his breath in before sighing loud, as if he was disappointed. I looked at him and I couldn't figure out the look in his eyes and the expression he wears.
"I don't want you to suffer another heartbreak. Hyunjin is not good for you. He does horrible things that will make you hate him." He persuaded.
"What do you mean by that?" He got my full interest and attention.
"He's a jerk. He always get what is originally mine." Hiro scoffed, bitterly. "Even the girl that I loved. Annie loved me but when she met that jerk, everything in me was gone in a snap." He laughed bitterly.
"W-what did he do?"
"He took him from me." He mumbled in a cold voice. Hiro leaned his head to the headrest before letting out a deep sigh.
