10. The fault that ruin everything (BOM POV)
I walk to my room, throw my bag and my body to the bed. Chae rin being little quiet several days. I said that we have make some boundaries but this is not what supposed to happened.
Few days ago I ask her to go for a date but she said she were busy. We also made a promise that always go home together, but she keep telling she were busy and ask me to go home first. She barely pick up my call and reply my messages. We almost get our 200 days anniversary. Did I hurt her heart?
I sit down
"Okay. I'll buy her something nice and asks her to forgive me"
I call hyun jae
"Hello"
"Hyun jae ya.. let's go somewhere tommorow"
"Where? Tommorow is sunday. I wanna sleep all day"
"Just go with me okay. I'll call song"
"Okay"
---
Me, hyun jae and song go to mall at the city. Hyun jae said his driver is available so he cab drive us to a big mall.
We walk around the mall.
"Bom, what are you search?" Hyun jae ask me
"Hm... actually I feel Chae rin behave little strange. Maybe cause I said that I need some time to hangouts with my friend and we still going home together . But she changed lately. She keep said she were busy. I think maybe I hurt her heart. So I'll buy some presents for our 200 days anniversary tommorow "
"Wow, never thought you were so romantic" song said and both Song
"Shut up you guys"
We enter some jewelry shop. We walk and look around. I attracted to some ring at the display. I walk near it and look closer.
"That's pretty" hyun jae pop behind me
"Yes that pretty. I want buy one for Vivi too. I'll look around" Song leave us
I see the price
"Aw" it's 20.000 won
"Why?"
"My money, it's not enough"
"Hm.. use mine" hyun jae take out his black card
"No. I want to buy it with my own"
"How many?"
"Uh?"
"Just need 3000 won"
" hm.. wait"
Hyun jae call her mother
"Mom, do you still had the member card at xx jewelry?. Hm... yes, Bom want to buy something. Can we use it to get a discount? Okay, omma I love you"
"Excuse me, my mom has a member card here, can we get a discount for this ring"
"Wait we will see it"
The cashier check the price
"Yes you can, it will be 15.000 won"
"Bom, you can buy it without lend my money"
"Okay. Thank you hyun jae"
"Please wrap is nicely. It's for my bestfriend girlfriend " hyun jae ask the cashier politely
"Of course"
Song came with some silver necklace with cat pendant.
"I buy this too, please wrap it beautifully for my cute girlfriend "
"Okay " the cashier can't hide her smile
"What about you? You don't buy something for your girlfriend too" the cashier ask hyun jae
"Oh" hyun jae look shy
"He doesn't has a girlfriend " song said
"I'm sorry" the cashier feel sorry
"It's okay"
We walk out from the shop. We go to eat lunch. I look at the beautiful gift I buy for Chae rin. I imagining how happy she will.
"Bom...Bom - a"
Song wave his hand in front of my face.
"Uh"
"We already ordered. Go order for yourself" song said
"Yes.. yes... you happy annoyed me"
I walk to the counter but someone bump to me.
"Oh I'm sorry" Bom said
Little i realized, the bad things i never imagined is about to happens.
Hyun jae and song look from our table.
I look at the one who bumped to me. It was my friend from same club. And stand behind his back is Chae rin.
"Jun young? Chae rin?"
They look shock, I see they're holding hands
"What happened?"
Chae rin let off Jun young hands
"Bom - a. Let's talk okay"
Chae rin hold my hand, I look at her. My feelings changed so fast from happy to anger. But I still try to keep calm
"Let's talk there"
I, Chae rin, and Jun young walk to our table.
I sit at the middle of Song and Hyun Jae, Chae rin and Jun young sit across.
"Bom- a. Don't get it wrong we just going for lunch. And when I bumped to you I spontaneously hold Chae rin's hand"
I just look at Chae rin. She avoiding eye contact with me.
"Is it true?"
I ask Chae rin, no matter what people say. I'll believe in you so please tell me the truth.
"I.. we... just. Yeah Jun said the truth " Chae rin still avoiding my eyes
We all eat in the same table but the vibe feel completely awkward and not comfortable.
I ask Hyun Jae and Song going home separately from me.
"Guys, you go first. I wanna talk with Chae rin"
"Okay"
They leave
"Let's walk for a while"
I and Chae rin walk at the street and sit at the park.
"Chae rin -a"
"Hm, yeah"
"I'm sorry"
"Why? For what?"
"For everything, ask you to make boundaries, to make distance, without even thinking about your feelings "
I take the present that I plan to give it tommorow.
"Here, it's for our 200 days anniversary. I suppose to give it tommorow "
Chae rin look surprises , she open the box and see a beautiful shiny ring.
I wear it to her finger
"I'm sorry, I love you Chae rin"
Chae rin hug me. I thought it was an end but
2 days later
"Hyun jae!!" I run to hyun jae
"You not going home with Chae rin?"
"No she had a meeting with radio club"
"Where's Song?"
"He going home with Vivi"
"That's mean I save you from loneliness " I pat Hyun jae head
"Bom " hyun jae seems want to say something but he looks hesitated
Rrrrrr...
I feel some phone vibe.
"Hyun jae I'm sorry, my club friend said they forgot to lock the club door. They ask me to check it. Wait for me okay, I'll treat you today"
I run to my club room. When I want to check the lock I hear some voice inside.
"Is it okay?"
I hear boy voice and I hear some little giggles. I hesitated at first but then I opened it, I just think if there's dirty things happens in my club room ut won't be okay.
I open the door and I see them
---
I walk faster
"Bom " Chae rin run after me
"Bom please, wait"
I stop at school back yard, the place when I begin had a feeling for Chae rin.
" I know it, but I keep denied it"
"Bom - a"
"I try to make up but... why you do this to me"
"I'm sorry Bom. I really sorry. I just wavered " Chae rin hold my hand
--
Hyun jae stand in front of badminton club, he see everything. He just angry with himself who doesn't have a courage to tell Bom earlier about Chae rin cheating from Bom.
"You know her girlfriend is the one who comes to me" Jun said arrogantly to Hyun Jae
"Your friend is so dumb. He caught us but still date Chae rin"
Hyun jae clenched his fist
"Why you still friend with him? He's bellow our class" Jun young walk pass me. Jun young is my father business partner son.
"Are you jealous ?"
He stopped
"What?"
"Are you jealous with him? Cause he plays better than you?"
"What do you say?" Jun young grab Hyun jae collar
"Seems it's true. I Don know you can going this low to make your rival mentally broken"
Jun young clenched his fist ready to hit Hyun jae
"Why? Are you afraid that your dad will scold you. You had all the facilities but lose from Bom?"
"Shut up" Jun young hit Hyun Jae face and make him fall
Hyun jae touch his lip that bleeding, he stand up
"So this is your true color. If I want I can destroy you. But you said last time that's not serious and will leave her for good. That's why I let you go. Don't play with my friends"
---
"Wavered?" I'm surprising by her answer
"Yes, but I made up my mind now. We haven't do anything "
"You haven't do anything that's not mean it's not happened. You being unfaithful to me"
I let go her hand from mine gently. Even I feel so much in pain, I don't want to treat her badly.
"Bom -a" she chase me and hug me from my back
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's because I need you. But you don't take care of me. You set a distance between us. You get ride of me for your friends "
I open her linked hands in my waist. I turn around and look at her.
"Still, you can say it directly. It's better than you being cheated from me"
I walk away, this time she doesn't chase me. She just stand there and crying.
that's how my first love ended. I'm going home alone. I can't see hyun jae anywhere. but it's better than he see me in my very bad.
I'm walking out from the school, going home and sleep. I got text from Hyun jae and Song. I said to them I'm okay. but my stubborn friends don't believe me and coming to my home at night. I see Hyun jae lip, there's bleed scar. but he just said he is been bite by his dog.
it's feel like happened for long time ago, but now I see her again.
