34 - EVEN

A B B Y

Minnie and I went home after a long night, Miyeon wasn't there. I cried so much until I fell asleep. It was traumatic and painful for me to fall in love and believe that what Miyeon showed me was real.

At around 3am, with just a few hours of sleep, I went down to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. I was exhausted and thirsty, I could barely walk.

But to my surprise, I saw someone on the dining table. She was drinking a glass of wine. Her back was too familiar for me not to recognize who it was.

I hesitated whether I'd continue going in or not, but she probably heard my footsteps as it was really quiet into the night. She turned around and looked at me, her eyes seemed tired.

"Abby.. can we please talk?" Miyeon said.

"T-Talk?"

She wants to talk? After everything that I've seen tonight, I don't think talking with her is going to make me feel any better.

I sighed and turned around, but she was quick enough to grab me by the arm.

"Abby, please?"

I looked at her and noticed how her face was flushing. She's a little drunk.

"I-I can't deal with you right now," I said as I pulled away from her.

But as I was about to leave, she suddenly spoke again. "Are you and Minnie.. really dating?"

That question did hit me hard. I knew that I was hurt badly because of what she did.. but it's really heartbreaking to see her standing right in front of me and talking about something that wouldn't even happen if she didn't date my best friend.

"I-It's none of your business," I tried to get a hold of myself, but she made me so damn weak that my voice ended up breaking.

"H-How is it none of my business, Abby?" Her eyes were pleading. It's like she was trying to tell me something more.

But I knew that I shouldn't be carried away with her words. "You and I.. are no longer a thing now, Miyeon-ah.."

"Do you regret being with me?" she asked.

I couldn't read her. It was impossible for me to know her intentions at the moment.

I just gave her a sad look. "Were we even together?"

She bit her lip upon realizing. "You're right.. we weren't."

We could've been.. but it was all too late. I realized my feelings for her late.

I'm so damn exhausted. I felt like I lost everything that I had. That I allowed her to step on my value as a person.. I know I probably don't worth much compared to them, but I'm still a human after all.. and it hurts.

"I-I felt bad after seeing you earlier, Abby. I knew that it was my fault.. I led you on, only to leave you hanging in the end. You were surprised, weren't you?"

I looked at her in disbelief, tears nearly coming out from the corner of my eyes. "Do you expect me not to be?"

"I-I'm sorry.."

"Sorry? That's what you're going to tell me?"

"Hey.. you're with Minnie now, aren't you? I think we're just even, Abby.."

Right.. I completely forgot that I'm supposedly in a relationship with Minnie now.

It's funny how she thinks we're even, when she basically dated my best friend behind my back while I was a clueless idiot, hoping that one day she's going to officially ask me out.
