PART 39

Narrator

There's a knock at Eunchae's door, and she answers.

"Cheol? I thought I got you home," Eunchae cluelessly said.

"Can I stay here?" Cheol asked. "Haerin kicked me out."

"Sure, come on." She said, letting him in.

"Thanks." He said.

Y/n lay in bed with Danielle, comforting her.

"It was all my fault, I ruined everything." Danielle said.

"No, it wasn't your fault at all." Y/n assured. "Rest easy, alright?"

Y/n got up to leave, but Danielle stopped them.

"Stay here, I'll feel safer." She said.

"Alright." Y/n accepted.

She held Y/n tightly, and fell asleep not long after.

Haerin's POV

I kept crying in bed. Why would Cheolie cheat on me?

Was I not good enough? Am I too useless?

My phone vibrated as a message on the group chat came up.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I acted irrationally. I shouldn't have said what I said." Minji texted.

"Thank you for apologising," Chaewon texted.

I immediately started typing.

"Minji unnie," I texted.

She texted back with, "?"

"Is what you said about Hanni and Cheolie true?" I texted.

"No. It's not true at all!!" Hanni texted.

"It was a lie, Haerin. Hanni tried to move in on Cheol and he pushed her off." Minji texted.

There was no time to be mad at Minji. I switched to private messages with Cheolie.

"Cheolie, please come back. I was wrong." I texted, but he didn't reply or open the message.

I remembered that Chaewon was the one to go to for dating advice, and I messaged her, seeking advice.

"You know I'm still new to dating, and I messed up with Cheolie, how do I get him back?" I texted.

"I'm not sure if I should help you, Cheolie was in the right, and I want what's best for him." She texted back. "If you can't trust what he says, I'm beginning to reconsider you."

"Please, I'm not good with this dating stuff!" I begged. "Cheolie was and is still my first boyfriend!"

"Okay, but you owe me one after this" she texted.

"You have to show him you're genuinely sorry and that you still like him. He's probably thinking you don't like him anymore." She continued texting. "Want me to let you in on a little something?"
