Chapter Text
"Singnie~!" Siyeon rolls her eyes as her girlfriend approaches her with that big goofy smile. The girl had asked her to come and meet her before she goes to her last class.
"Woah, stop right there Yoohyeon. You might ruin my clothes. I still have to meet someone." Annoyance is clear on Siyeon's face, making Yoohyeon frown.
"You're going? I thought we're going to play overwatch?"
"I'll catch up with a friend. Do I always have to play games with you? My goodness,we're already in college. Stop being too childish and lame."
Yoohyeon doesn’t respond, instead she just smiles.
"Okay, then. I think I'm taking too much of your time that I forgot you might have plans. I'm sorry for always asking you to play with me. Take care, okay? I guess I'll be joining Dami then."
Feeling a little bit guilty, Siyeon drapes an arm around Yoohyeon's waist, pulling her closer. She squeezes the girl’s waist before letting go.
"Hey, babe. I'm sorry. I'll see you tonight, okay?"
"I love you, Singnie."
"Hmm."
Yoohyeon doesn't know if she should kiss Siyeon like she used to when she's leaving so she just kissed the girl on her cheeks. Yoohyeon turns and walks back towards the university. Before she goes too far, she looks back at where she left Siyeon. A car stopped in front of her girlfriend then a girl gets off and hugs Siyeon. Siyeon is smiling at the girl widely. Yoohyeon tried to hold back her tears, wishing she could turn back time. The time when it was only her and Singnie. The time when she was the only girl that mattered to Siyeon.

"What the heck?! Yoohyeon this shouldn't be happening!"
"Yubin, it's fine."
"It's obviously not! Siyeon is fucking cheating on you!"
Dami is mad, her hands balled into fist while Yoohyeon tries her best to smile at her friend. She couldn’t cry. She tries to remain calm as they are at a cafe and people are starting to look at them.
"Maybe she was an old friend, Yub. Or a relative." Yoohyeon looked down to her lap as her hands fidgeted with her clothes.
"Yoo-"
"She might be, right Yubin?" Yoohyeon looks up and there are tears in her eyes.
She knows it wasn't just a friend. It wasn't the first time Siyeon ditched their dates and she'd seen that girl with her. She knows the girl, back then in high school. She knows all this girl's friends and one of them is her first love. She didn't tell Yubin who the girl was. Yoohyeon tries so hard to make herself believe that she saw the wrong girl.
"Yoohyeon, oh my god. Don't cry." Dami stands up and goes beside Yoohyeon to hug her.
"Yubin. It's not true right? She-- Singnie loves me. She said she loves me."
Dami has been her friend since diapers. She is known as Yoohyeon's protector since the latter was always too nice even if people hurt her. Yoohyeon loves to help and would do anything that pleases her loved ones. She wouldn't tell if she's already hurt that's why Dami always stands up for her when the girl notices that something's wrong.
"Yooh, look at me." Yoohyeon looks up letting Dami wipe the tears rolling down her cheeks. Dami fixes her hair and holds the girl's hand tight.
"I know you're old enough to know what's right or wrong, Yooh. I cannot be always there to protect you, especially when it's your own girlfriend. Yoohyeon, think about yourself. You deserve so much more. I know that we were all friends. But look, I know you can see how much she's changed when we entered college. Talk to her. She shouldn't hurt you like this. If she really loves you, she wouldn't do any of these. Please, Yoohyeon. I don't want to see you hurting."
Yoohyeon hugs Dami tight as her tears start to fall again. She doesn't know if she'd been too much or she lacked something. She doesn't know when Siyeon started to drift away.
"Give me time. I think I need to collect myself first."
"I'll be here, hmm?"

Yoohyeon goes home late. She is surprised the lights of her dorm were open. She lives alone and only Siyeon knows the passcode.
"Singnie?"
She hears noises in her kitchen and then sees Siyeon with take-home fast food.
"Yooh! You're home~"
There she goes again. One moment, she's cold and then she'll come back as if she didn't do something that hurt you.
"Oh, you're here." Yoohyeon is tired. Her head hurts and her eyes too.
"Babe, I'm sorry for leaving you earlier." Siyeon goes near and holds the younger girl's hands.
"It's fine. I went with Yubin anyway." Yoohyeon tried her best to smile.
Siyeon hugged Yoohyeon's waist and tried to kiss the girl, but the latter turned her head away.
"Singnie, maybe you should go home. It's late and we need to rest."
Siyeon scoffs and releases from the hug. Yoohyeon gets surprised at the sudden reaction.
"Fine. I came all the way here and now you're asking me to leave? Really, Yoo?"
"No one asked you to come, Si."
"What the fuck? We're supposed to be together today!"
"Bullshit! Lee Siyeon!"
Siyeon is surprised. Yoohyeon rarely curses unless she's really mad.
"Yoo, I'm--"
"Yes! We're supposed to fucking spend the afternoon together not until you told me you have plans with some other girl! And now you're complaining that I'm asking you to leave so we could take some rest? Siyeon, you didn't even ask my permission if you could enter my apartment."
"Yoohyeon-"
"You think I don't know? That you've been meeting that girl behind my back? You really think I'm THAT dumb? I may not be one of those girls who you can pull to join you in the club, but I'm not fucking dumb Siyeon. I'm your fucking girlfriend who you think is too childish, too boring, too lame and too clumsy. I thought you loved me but you changed. You're even the first person who's disgusted by me when you're the one who asked me out in the first place!"
Yoohyeon lets herself cry, her hands clutching the hem of her shirt tightly. She couldn’t pretend to smile anymore.
"I can explain, Yoo. Please-" Siyeon tries to reach for Yoohyeon's hand but the girl steps back.
"Forget it. Let's end this. I don't want to see you. Please. Just leave, Siyeon."
"Yoo-"
"I said leave!"
Hearing the door shut, Yoohyeon falls onto her knees, crying her heart out. Siyeon told her she wouldn't be like her first love, unrequited. Siyeon was a friend she met in her second high school and was the one who pursued her. Here she thought that the girl had accepted her and her flaws but with all that has happened only proved that people will always get tired of her.
She tried to dial Dami's number even with her eyes full of tears.
"Y-yubin... eotteokhae.."
"Yoohyeon? Kim Yoohyeon?"
That voice.
For a moment, she thought her world stopped. She checked the screen and she was right. It wasn't Yubin.
"Fuck."
Why hadn't she deleted her number? And why the hell did this girl didn't change her number?
"No! Please don't drop the call! Yoohyeon please."
"I-I'm sorry!"
