The fresh sheets made her feel like she could sleep forever and not get up
It smelled like freshly squeezed lemons and strawberries for some reason
Y/n stretched and opened her eyes slowly feeling herself pressed against someone
The memories from the night prior invaded her mind making her sigh and look at him
She admired his facial features as he slept peacefully with nothing bothering him at all
The girl whispered and kissed his cheek and stood up to collect her clothes before leaving his room carefully
It was time to go home , a place she didn't even want to go to
It was time to see everyone else , the people she didn't even want to see
Y/n grabbed her high heels and held them in her hands together with the plastic bag her dress was inside after Dawon had washed in and placed it in the living room for her to take
Unlocking the door to the boys door she went out and started walking home just to save time and prepare herself for the mental draining talk with whoever decided to gang up on her
She wanted to change and treat herself better , she wanted to be with someone who wanted her for her and not whenever they feel like they needed to love her all of the sudden
Her phone luckily survived since she didn't jump together with it into the water
Remembering the audio she send yesterday , she quickly checked if he had seen it but sighed in relief when the check marks where still grey and hadn't turned blue so she deleted them
It's not like she succeeded for it to still be there so it was kind of embarrassing for her
" Young Lady wait a minute ! "
Someone shouted and ran after her
" Can I have a moment please ? It's quick "
" Sure it's not like I have somewhere to be urgently, how can I help you "
The man smiled and took out a business card
" You look really beautiful and I would like to ask you if you had ever thought about modeling before? It's ok if you have no experience "
The girl chuckled and looked at the card and back at the man
" I have not thought about it before , I'll call if I'm interested in doing this "
" Take your time , I'm available until next Saturday before I have to leave for a business meeting in another city "
He bowed and left after thanking her
Walking for some minutes until she reached home her mind kept thinking about the offer but she didn't really pay mind to it
Punching in the code the door unlocked so she could walk in , Y/n removed her shoes and I walked into the kitchen to drink something
" Where have you been ? "
She continued to drink ignoring the said person who stood there eyes bloodshot starring at her sleep deprived
" I asked where you have been "
Y/n finally looked at the person and chuckled
" I don't know if I want to answer you or even look at your face so please let me be "
" Why are you behaving this way ? I'm worried and I couldn't sleep until I knew you where home and safe "
" Cut it out , if you cared you would add me to the reservation list , but guess what I made a fool out of myself because I thought they did a mistake when in reality you never added me "
" Baby i forgot to , and I'm sorry "
" Don't baby me , im not about to take this apology and walk with it , the way you guys treated me yesterday was not it "
She opened the cabinets and scoffed
" And don't open my stuff when im not home "
He sighed and went closer to her
" My love im sorry I know how fed up you are but forgive me this once "
" Seonghwa I want to be fed up and I have the right to , I'm not doing well and it was just to much these past weeks and months "
Seonghwa looked at her rubbing his eyes
" Whatever I just wanted to make it up to you but you're being a bitch about it "
He stood up and left making her angry
" I'm being a bitch about people hurting me all the time ?! , do you even hear yourself! "
She yelled after him hitting his back
" Seonghwa do you realize who you've become? , you where literally trying to gaslight me into accepting your apology! "
He looked back and scoffed
" Darling that's not called gaslighting , don't say things out of context "
" I don't even care at this point, you know what hurts the most ? "
" What is it again , now you're home and I can go back to sle-"
" Having loved all of you was the hugest mistake i have ever committed , each day I discover more of your rotten personality "
Y/n stared at him and laughed
" You should be glad someone loved you in the first place , and if you're so tired leave "
Seonghwa scoffed once again and went into his room
" Oh so I need to leave now because you are a bad partner? "
" You're the ungrateful one , you have eight boyfriends and it's still not enough "
" Yeah exactly , look who's talking you literally found another girlfriend behind my back and not only that , she doesn't even pay rent but I have to ? I still don't understand "
Seonghwa rolled his eyes and sighed once again wishing he had just went to sleep instead of waiting like a maniac
" Y/n I'm starting to think that you're jealous of Rin lately, you always speak with so much hate about her it's never something good "
He turned around and looked at her in a weird type of way
" Me jealous of her ? , Seonghwa you clearly don't know the meaning between despising someone and their behavior and actually hating them as a person "
" Yeah you're clearly jealous, just because she's young and beautiful and carries herself like the beauty she is doesn't mean you have to always punch her around
The moment he said those words was when her tears started building up
" Maybe if you dressed up more and showed off your beauty we wouldn't have started dating her in the first place "
Y/n laughed smiling and left towards her room before she unpacked all her memories with Seonghwa and all his clothes to the ones he gifted her and started throwing them inside a bag and placed it out her room as she wiped her tears
All the dresses she had worn as , all the pictures and jewelry and not to forget the big frame she had once thrown on the ground was laying in front of her door with glass scattered around once again alarming nearly everyone
" What is wrong with you !
Yunho woke up and gasped as he saw her front door and the way she was trashing her room
" Y/n Stop this nonsense right now ! "
Hongjoong sprinted into the room furiously and grabbed her as he impulsively grabbed her hair
" Are you insane ?! , why are you trashing your room for in this morning "
" What is wrong with her lately?"
Yeosang whispered as he stared at Hongjoong manhandling Y/ln
" I was talking to you , what is your issue "
He said angrily starring deeply into her eyes
" I'm done with Seonghwa, I don't want anything to do with him anymore neither do I want his stuff anymore I hate him "
She cried before freeing herself from his grip
" And when have you two broken up for you to act this way? "
" Today right now , and matter of fact I'm breaking up with all of you "
" Y/n you can't do that "
" Oh I can and I just did , I'm done playing the punching bag in this relationship "
The girl watched as all their faces dropped making her laugh
" Shocked ? , i thought that's what y'all wanted the most to happen no ? "
Mingi looked at her with a frown as Wooyoung held his back because he knew he'd cry
" Y/n are you out of your mind? You can't just break up with us because you want to "
" Jongho , I'm sick of y'all neglecting me and treating me like trash I've done this already for four years and I'm tired , I lost my child and my passion for most of the things I loved , not only that but I was degraded by my now ex boyfriend who told me that if I dressed myself up or was prettier you guys wouldn't get together with Rin , and I just realized that this is not what I want anymore "
San looked at her and bawled his fists
" You're really throwing away all our battles and love even after we lost Sanie ? "
" No , you guys threw all the love away "
Y/n grabbed her duffel bag and started packing her belongings and everything she needed to leave
" Baby please I'll change just don't leave me "
Mingi cried out and kneeled in front of her as he held her legs
" You can't just throw out our memories "
She chuckled and wiped her eyes
" I can't believe Mingi is the only one begging for mercy , it just shows show much he cares unlike you guys "
Packing her stuff she left the bag on her bed and started texting Rowoon to come pick her up
" Please don't leave Y/n , im begging you to not leave me for the sake of my love for you "
Mingi was a crying mess as everyone stared at him making a fool out of himself when she ignored his rants
" I-I wanted to propose to you yesterday but you weren't there so I couldn't "
He pulled out the red velvet box showing the beautiful golden ring with green diamonds on top as he wiped his runny nose with the back of his hand making her turn around
"Mingi you're not being for real now "
Yunho asked in disbelief as he looked at him
" I love her , and I wanted to propose to her yesterday in front of everyone else "
Y/n looked at Mingi with tears as he stared right back at her
" And you didn't discuss this with us first "
" I don't need to discuss anything with you , I loved her first before Seonghwa even pursued her even though he knew I had a crush on Y/n"
" But she's our girlfriend too so you had to at least tell us about the proposal "
" Besides did you consider Rins feelings ? "
Wooyoung sighed and looked at Rin that fiddled with her fingers
" Y/n is my number one priority and she knows how much I love her, I feel like an idiot for not standing up when you guys ganged up on her , have you guys forgotten about your vows when we first started dating her ? "
" You think you're better because you wanted to propose to her ? "
" See this is what I'm talking about! ever since you guys started dating that kid y'all have become so ignorant ! "
Mingi yelled and stood up and pushing Yunho out off pure rage
" We were a perfect family, but you Hongjoong you destroyed everything since the day you introduced us to Rin ! "
Y/n watched things unfold in front of her eyes as she had never seen Mingi that angry let alone push his best friend
" Mingi please calm down "
" No they have to listen, especially San who I still need to understand why he's defending the one that made him loose his opportunity to become a first time dad "
" You can't blame her it was her friends that did it "
" She commanded them too hurt her ! are you that delusional Yeosang?! Stop making up things to justify her behavior "
He yelled at Yeosang frustrated who looked shocked and held his chest
" And Rin I've never loved you like the way I loved Y/n , I felt like I was forced to love you somehow "
The boys looked at Mingi surprised as he hovered over Rin who backed away
" I've seen your tricks and plays but never said anything for the sake of the others , I can't believe a woman can degrade herself and be so disgusting to her own kind "
He looked at her with pure disgust in his eyes as he watched her tear up in shock
" The words must have hit home right ? You yourself know what you did "
Seonghwa grabbed him and harshly looked at him
" Don't touch me Seonghwa, you out of everyone disappointed me the most "
Y/n just stood there in shock seeing everything unfold before her eyes
" I'm tired of you guys , and one thing I know is that I want to stay with her and I'll move out "
He grabbed her hand and left the house in a hurry
" Mingi slow down I'm gonna fall "
she panted and held onto his hand as he stopped on the sidewalk
" I-I I just couldn't bear it anymore , I was tired of them hurting you only if you had heard the things being said yesterday at the dinner "
Mingi teared up as he looked at her
" It's like you never existed to them , they just remember you when they need you or something "
She chuckled and looked into his glossy eyes
" thats why I am leaving, you don't need to worry about me being hurt anymore "
Mingi held onto her as he teared up once more
" I'm so sorry for treating you like trash , I can't believe I turned away from the person that helped me overcome my darkest times these past years "
The girl couldn't help but hug back as she snuggled onto his embrace
" I love you so much , I don't ever want to leave you so please stay with me "
" I-I want you to stay with me Y/n "
She remained silent as she held onto him unable to answer
" I'm begging you please stay with me , you don't need to get married with me now just stay "
Her eyes glossed up as she saw the familiar car pull up from the distance but she couldn't bring herself to let go of him
" Please Y/n say something anything "
He stuttered as he feared of her leaving him
" Mingi I-I can't right now I need some time "
She sniffed detaching herself from him as she saw Rowoon get out the car in his black hoodie and jeans leaning against the car door
" Please don't leave me "
He mumbled once again as she stepped back and looked at him as her heart shattered into million pieces
" Mingi I'll text you later "
She slowly grabbed her bag and started walking away towards Rowoon's car leaving Mingi sobbing to himself on the side of the road while he watched her leave
" Please drive I can't bear to see him like that please "
She mumbled looking away as she entered the car feeling her heart clench ten times harder that before
Rowoon didn't even dare ask as he just started driving past Mingi who yelled after the car as he ran to catch up with them
Y/n closed her eyes and lowered her head in shame
She felt like crap for breaking his heart that way , especially because she knew how sensitive and soft Mingi was
The thing that scared her the most was that he'd fall back into his old ways to coupe with reality
" Has she ate anything yet ? "
Jaeyoon came into the living room where the other boys sat down watching tv
" She hasn't been feeling like it since hours now , I tried giving her some bread at least but she remained unresponsive "
Rowoon sighed as he made himself comfortable on the couch
" I don't know what went down at they house but it seemed pretty ugly , she texted me suddenly asking me to pick her up "
" Do you think she broke up with them ? "
" That's what I have guessed by the way one of them chased us after I started driving off , he screamed and cried like crazy made me feel bad for him "
The boys all looked at each other as the atmosphere turned into a gloomy one
" Gosh look what love does to someone "
Inseong shook his head as he skipped trough the channels until he landed on a specific one
They looked at the news headlines with frowns especially Rowoon as he froze
" Someone committed suicide by jumping of their home building not long ago "
Hwiyoung grimaced not wanting to imagine as he covered his eyes
" Now why would someone do that ? "
" Why are you looking so shocked? do you perhaps know the guy ? "
" That's one of her boyfriends , the one that we meet down town one day sitting at the bench "
" The undercut guy that worked at the convenience store , sharp jaw and cat like eyes "
" The guy from the dance studio we frequented Taeyang what's his name ?! "
"Yeah that's him ! ,I never knew he was her boyfriend "
Rowoon lowered his head sighing as he felt bad especially for Y/n that had yet to receive the news
" But why did he do that ? , do you think it's because of their break up ? "
" Bro i can tell you from experience that I was depressive as well when I broke up with Hana "
Zuho sighed and rubbed his head
" Love hurts man it really does "
The boys didn't notice that she stood there in tears accompanying the news together with them
her vision blurred as she felt her heart pump in pain
Not being able to continue listening she bolted out of their apartment bare feet making the boys look at each other before Rowoon ran out after
As much as it hurt running on the cold wet side walk it pained more losing someone who she once called the love of her life
Running and running which felt like hours as the rain poured on her soaking all her clothes until she reached the scene seeing the sirens of the ambulance and police cars in front of the building
Within each big breath she took as she approached the mass of people standing there watching she felt her hart shattering
" Let me pass please , I need to get to him "
Whispering as she tried to squeeze herself between the people to get to main scene
Her feet burned and ached from falling and stubbing her toes on the rocks along the way
Every single step she took she wished it wasn't true , every single breath she took she wished he could tell her that it was all a bad dream since the beginning
And that they could restart everything despite all the heart break in the past weeks and months
But that all would be a dream come true , because right in front of her two eyeballs stood Wooyoung sobbing in a squat position as everyone else sobbed circling around him
" No No , please San please don't do this to me "
Her messy self ran after the men that carried the stretched into the ambulance
" Please don't take him away from me please "
Tears streamed down her face as she begged the man who looked at her feeling her pain
" Miss we need to carry the deceased away "
" Please let me see my boyfriend one last time "
Someone yanked her away from the stretched before pushing her to the ground
" How dare you show yourself after what you did to him ?! How heartless are you ! "
Yunho yelled at her in rage before pushing her back down as she tried to get up slowly
" You killed San ! You took him away from his family and us ! I hate you so much "
Wooyoung yelled as he charged towards her his rage the double of what everyone felt
" I have the right to be here , I love San "
She hiccuped out refusing to put him in the past tense
" You should be ashamed of yourself to show up here after today "
Jongho looked at her in disgust
" You didn't only take San away from us but you destroyed Mingi, he's locked inside his room with Hongjoong because he fell back into his old ways "
She shook her head sobbing loudly
" I n-never wanted this to happe-"
" Shut up ! You just wanted to be together with that other guy , you broke up with us because of him "
Yeosang scoffed as he looked down on her face while Seonghwa stood there his eyes glossy refusing to approach her
" You're a monster and you disgust me "
The strangers just watched and filmed the scene in front of them without butting in
" Stop This instant , stop filming ! "
Someone yelled with angry tears trying to shoo away the crowd
“ Stop filming her , please go away ”
Miss Cha hugged Y/n who hyperventilated clutching her face as the rain poured on her
“ How can you guys turn your back on her ! She lost someone too !”
She yelled hitting Yunho who sobbed as he looked at Y/n
Hongjoong came out after making sure Mingi slept soundly his eyes red and puffy
“ Guys get inside, I’ll drive to the hospital ”
Seonghwa slowly gathered everyone with Rin who looked at her in disgust
“ I don’t care about why you’re here , I’m just making it clear that I don’t want you around our house anymore after what you did today don’t even think about contacting Mingi or Sans family, don’t you even dare to appear on San’s funeral ”
Hongjoong looked at her with hatred before walking towards his car and driving away towards the hospital
The only thing that took it took for her heart to shatter fully without any way of turning back we’re his words and the heavy rain pouring onto her and Ms Cha who held her tightly against her chest
Love hurts , but this hurt a million times worser
