"If you go, I'll stay. You come back I'll be right here"

"I have something to tell you"

"Are you going to give me an explanation about wha-"

"Let's break up, Minsoo" Fuck, I said it. "I can't do this anymore"

I looked into her eyes. Devastated, but trying to hide her tears. I'm sorry, baby. I never wanted this to happen to us. But in order to protect you, I have to let you go.

"You're right. Relationships can't be continued when one is not trust worthy" her voice cracked. "Goodbye" she slammed the door on my face.

That's my girl. Don't cry over a man who couldn't protect you. I'm not worthy of your love and affection.

"Just like that? She didn't say anything else?" Eunjoo asked sitting on the couch.

"No" I said. "Now that I did what you wanted me to do, delete those pictures permanently from everywhere" I ordered.

"I don't think it's over yet. You have one more thing to do" she said.

Damn, this wench is testing my patience. What else am I supposed to do to make this work?

"Date me" she said. "Go to prom with me"

"No!" I yelled. "I can't force love" I tried to leave.

"So you want the photos to leak"

Shit! This wench is into blackmail again.

"Fine. I'll go to prom with you"

"I heard your prom date is Eunjoo" Felix said as he walked into the room.

"How do you know? I didn't tell anyone" I said as I was getting ready. Yeah. I didn't tell anyone about the prom. Not even Felix.

"She is literally so loud about it. I heard her talking to others" he said.

I looked at my mirror one last time before I leave to the venue. This is the look I'm supposed to have when I take Minsoo to prom. Unfortunately, I'm taking someone else.

What's more to it is that Minsoo is also attending prom. With Minho hyung. It was weird that Minho hyung agreed to take her to prom because he is still in love with his first love. Either way, it doesn't seem like it's any better if she attended with someone else. I trust Minho hyung.

I drove to the venue. Our school hosts prom in the most palace looking places every year. The venue looked like a Victorian castle. Minsoo loves these kind of buildings. She likes mysterious things and vintage stuff.

I was getting inside and I heard a car honking. I turned to look whose car it was. It was Minho hyung's. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. She took his hand and got out of the car. She was wearing a white shiny gown paired up with white heels and diamond earrings. She left her hair open. She was glowing. She locked her hands with Minho hyung.

Ouch. It hurt.

Of course, it hurts to see someone else with the person you love.

They looked at each other and smiled.

That should be me.

She looked at me and her smiled disappeared. I didn't even notice how long I was looking at her without blinking. I couldn't take my eyes off her. Minho hyung read the room and took her away into the ball room.

I sighed.

I waited for Eunjoo to come but it's been a while since she said she was on her way. I didn't bother to call her. I went inside to the ball room.

MINSOO'S POV

The music started to play and everyone started to dance with their prom dates. Everyone were taking turns with each other's dates and spinning around. I looked at Minho who wasn't really happy to be here. "Minho?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry-"

"You don't really have to do this. I know you still love Nabi"

"I do but since you asked me for a favour, I'd do that. We're friends. And you are not in the most happy situation as well"

Minho is still in love with his first love. They broke up a while ago because of some education issues. I knew it as we became friends after I started dating Hyunjin. I asked him to take me to prom even though I was initially not planning to come but I had to since I needed to get out of my room and get a life.

We were dancing and it was his turn to pass me to the next person. I spun and fell into the next person's arms. It was Hyunjin. He looked right into my eyes. I maintained my cool because I didn't want to ruin the dance. We continued to dance.

His eyes. They weren't normal. I found a sense of ........ sadness in them.

"How are you enjoying the night, Minsoo?" He smiled.

I didn't answer. I didn't know how to respond so I just kept quiet. To my surprise, he smiled again.

"It's okay if you don't want to answer. Dancing with you is an enough blessing"

How could he say those words after all the mess? How could he said that after he told he no longer loved me?

"I'm doing fine" I said not making eye contact with him.

He hummed in response.

We locked our eyes and danced without blinking. The eye contact between us had a lot emotions embedded to it. I felt anger, sadness and embarrassment. While I sensed love, hope and softness in his.

The music ended. I took my hands off him and left the ball room. I didn't know why my heart is fluttering so much to a guy who broke my trust. I'm losing my mind.

I went the restroom and looked at the mirror.

How pathetic.

My phone rang. It was Giselle. I picked it up and said "hello?"

"Minsoo, where are you?"

"Prom. Why? What happened?"

"You need to be here. I've sent you the location. Come here fast" she hung up.
