i remember that day so clearly, sometimes i wish i could forget about it.

i was home alone, my parents had gone out and my sister was on a date with some random boy she met at school. i sat alone in my room on the wooden floor, hugging my knees tightly.

why is my life is messed up? i thought to myself.

in that moment my bedroom door shot open, an angry minsung standing at the doorway. i abruptly stood up, feeling fear take over me as i took in his features. he was glowering at me with knitted eyebrows and pursed lips.

'' so.. i heard you've been hanging out with this jimin guy. ''

i gulped as i took a step back. minsung seemed extremely dangerous as the veins in his neck were visible, too visible almost as if they were about to pop out.

'' i... i can explain. ''

'' no need, princess, i know you've been fucking him. '' he spat.

my eyes widened at his brutal remark.

'' what...? is that what you heard? ''

minsung took a step towards me, causing me to take another step back.

'' i know what you've been doing behind my back. schoolwork? how could i have been so stupid, so blind? it's obvious you've been cheating on me with him for ages now, you're like all the other girls, you're a disgusting slut that should be punished for her sins. ''

i found myself at a loss for words. i felt anger soar through my veins, clenching my fists so hard my nails dug into my skin, drawing a small amount of blood.

'' excuse me? you have no right to call me a slut. you don't know anything about what i've been doing with jimin, i didn't cheat on you. yes, i have fallen in love with him, but ive never made a move on him. all we did was write a song together. is that a crime? is that so wrong? who are you to treat me like trash? you're a shitty boyfriend, minsung, and i don't want to be with you anymore. you've successfully played with me to the point of me being scared of what you're going to do to me next and im not going to let you break me completely. im done. i hate you, i hate you so much. im not your toy, im not going to let you play with me any longer. find yourself another marionette, scumbag,'' i snapped.

minsung stood still with a blank expression on his face. i crossed my arms and gave him my best intimidating stare.

for a second, i thought i might have successfully hurt minsungs ego and maybe he'd understand his wrongdoings. i imagined him properly apologising to me, owning up to his mistakes, maybe even begging me to stay with him.

oh, how naive of me.

minsung sucked his teeth at me, his murky, cold eyes piercing through mine. i was petrified. i might have pissed him off too much, i knew he was dangerous, why was i so stupid?

minsung took a couple of steps towards me. in an attempt to get away from him i reversed until my back hit the wall, i felt a huge lump forming in the back of my throat, disabling me from speaking or even breathing through my mouth.

minsung was dangerously close, his face inches away from mine. a wicked smile decorated his face.

'' you can't leave me, you belong to me, jihye. as for your lover boy, jimin... '' he trailed off, leaving the rest up to my imagination.
