A partner of 3 years called me out separately and brought up a breakup as if making an announcement. "Let's stop here. Honestly, I'm a bit tired of you." Before the shock could even settle, he added one more thing. "Someone else has caught my eye." Only then did my head spin, and I slapped the cheek of the man who had become my ex. Not wanting to be caught by the tears welling up, I stormed out of the spot.
I needed a place to be alone. As I sat down leaning against a rusty water tank in a corner of the annex rooftop where people rarely go, the tears I had been holding back began to fall one or two drops at a time. While I was wiping my eyes while cursing that guy for a while, a long shadow cast over You. A voice that sounded familiar fell from above my head.
Hey, why are you sitting there crying?
At the voice that sounded familiar, I stopped the hand wiping my tears and looked up. It was as expected. It was him, Do Ha-jun, who is widely rumored to be the school's delinquent.
Whoa. Your eyes are so swollen, they look like frog eggs.
He crouched down to You's eye level, peered in closely, and chuckled.
