"Why did you break up with her? Everyone's been so curious about it, Daniel. Just tell us." Seongwu asked again for the third time around. We were on the field, just hanging out and enjoying the free time yet here is my friend bugging me about my break up with Minji. "Seongwu, come on stop asking him." Minhyun on the other hand is more thoughtful than the other annoying friend of mine.

I never told them why I broke up with Minji the other day. What can I say? She changed a lot, she became someone that's different from the girl I liked a year ago. She used to be so prim and proper, so caring, so delicate and I liked her because that's what I'm looking for a girl. But then she changed and I couldn't even find inside her the girl I met before. That was my ideal type and I know it's something I shouldn't make as a reason to like someone.

But I know deep in myself that even if I liked Minji before, the fact that she changed is just another reason for me to lose feelings for her. Because I know even before I liked her, I have my eyes on someone else already. She's someone so familiar to me, not just her but her family and family name as well. I don't see her very often but I always hear about them especially on our household.

I never told anyone I like her and even to myself, I never admitted it. I just thought I'm really curious about her that's why she just cross my mind sometimes. But my friends knew these things more that I do. Or maybe they know it more because I try to deny it even to myself.

"Daniel must be still broken hearted, Minji was the one who broke up with you, right?" Jeahwan laughed but I also find his words funny. Not because it's true but because it wasn't. Everything he said isn't true and all I could do is chuckle. I don't feel any pain upon breaking up with her, if I feel anything, it's only relief and it's most definitely not Minji who wanted to end up our relationship.

I know Jaehwan was kidding but I don't want to correct what he just said because Minji is telling everyone that she's the one who broke up with me. The old her would never lie about it but it's the new Minji I am talking about so I'll just let people think what she wants them to think about. It's useless to argue about it anyway.

"Can we just talk about something else rather than digging about my past?" I shook my head and laughed. "Past, wow it's just a day Daniel. You're talking as if it was a year." Seongwu scoffed and leaned on the bleachers. "I told you he's heartbroken." Jaehwan laughed annoyingly as he teased me. I was about to speak when a girl passed by, catching my attention and making me gaze at her as she walks away.

Seongwu scoffed once again. "Oh yeah, I can clearly tell he's broken hearted." He said sarcastically making me snap out and tore my gaze out of her. "Don't tell me you found another girl in just a day?" Hyunbin, who I didn't see approached us earlier spoke. I saw Minhyun shaking his head.

"Don't be stupid, we all know who Daniel likes even from the start." Seongwu was the one who answered making me lower my head out of embarrassment. "Yeah, he likes that girl he always talk about and sometimes even stalk." Jaehwan's annoying laugh came out again which made me irritated. I always talk about her but I stopped when Minji and I got into a relationship.

I became a loyal boyfriend to her and I also took our relationship seriously. But after months, and after she changed, I know even Minji wouldn't be able to erase this thing I'm feeling for that girl. That girl I can't even approach and that girl I can't even talk to because she's a Lee. She's someone I shouldn't even be thinking about but my mind failed to do what is right.
