Junhyuk and I fell in love my sophomore year and his junior of high school. We began dating a year later. Our relationship blossomed and things only got better. I knew everything about him, his favorite everything and his pet peeves. Everything seemed great, that is until my senior year of high school. A year after we were dating.

Like with everything else in the world, things changed. He would text me less, ask to hang out less, and overall was different when he did talk to me. I pushed the weird things aside, maybe he was just stressed out because of college.

Three months after he started acting weird my best friend Yaeun brought me some shocking news. They were pictures of Junhyuk and some girl being really friendly. It was obvious what went on after the picture was taken.

I spent the night with Yaeun that night crying my eyes out. Why would he do this to me? He said he loved me. Did I do something wrong?

I was ready to confront him about it the next day. Only he said we couldn't meet until the weekend because of his classes. I thought about ending it through text but that wasn't how I wanted to end a years worth of my life. I didn't want to be that person who leaves like that.

When the weekend arrived he was surprisingly back to his old self. He gave me a hug and kiss when I showed up to his house. It had been so long since he last kissed me or rather touched me for that matter. The words that I had been practicing during the week I suddenly couldn't remember. Maybe I could pretend nothing happened?

And so I did.

Everything went back to how it used to be. And just like that I graduated high school with Yaeun, who to say the least, was disappointed in my actions by staying with him. She didn't like Junhyuk anymore. She eveb refused to be with me when I was him.

Junhyuk didn't seem to care. He seemed to not like her in return. I found myself in many tough predicaments because of their hatred toward one another.

A week after graduation he started to act weird again. Ignoring my texts and calls. We didn't hang out at all that week, and it was his birthday. I had planned a special surprise for him but he didn't seem to care.

I once again fell into a slump. Yaeun would constantly threaten to beat him up but I wouldn't allow her. I pretty much gave up at that point.

Soon my summer program at my college began and he still never messaged me. I wouldn't break up with him just yet because I was naïve. I still believed we could work things out.

Boy, was I wrong.

Summer Session:

Today was kind of my first day of college, I was taking a bridge class. Bridge was something freshman students could take to bridge over easily into college from high school. My parents decided it would be best if I attended the summer class. So, here I was rushing to my class.

I make it to the classroom with three minutes to spare. There were only sixteen students in this bridge class. Each class was sectioned by majors. Everyone in this room shared the same major as me or was placed here by default.

I sigh relieved that I made it on time. I avoid eye contact with everyone as I entered, I didn't want to see weird. I spot a seat near the middle, I hurry and take the seat and relax. Here goes nothing.

The Professor waited until exactly 10 for class to start. She stood up near the front and cleared her throat. Everyone sat their cell phones down and looked up.

"I'm Professor Yang." She bows her head, we all stand and bow in return.

Another woman stood from the front of the room and moved next to the Professor. "I'm Kim Mijin, I'll be everyone's Advisor. Well as long as you stay within this major." She smiles. She was younger than Professor Yang and obviously newer to advising, she seemed a little shy at public speaking.
