One Mistake After Another

I sat down and, even if I wanted to talk, I couldn't. Honestly, I don't even know how I managed to haul myself back home.

"Just what happened? This whole time...Ye Joon thought Sun-Hee was the one who saved his life? Heh, Sun-Hee...she didn't even care, I was the one who begged her to donate for you...I was the one who stayed by your side for so long and loved you."

Quickly at that moment, the words said by Ye Joon flashed in my mind. "You were the reason my mother died. If it weren't for your tantrum that day, she could've still been here with me. That's the reason why I hate you. While you took my mum's life away, Sun-Hee was the one who saved mine...and that's why I love her. So I can't be with you anymore. Honestly, if it weren't my mother's lifelong wish that we'd be together forever, I wouldn't have even agreed in the first place." Just as Ye Joon was leaving, he turned around once again and said, "Oh, and...It was me and Sun-Hee. We were the ones who spread that video."

...When he first said that, I didn't think much of it because I was still too shocked at the news of our breakup to comprehend the last part. But based on what he said...those three months of torture was all because of him and Sun-Hee...

Tears began to fill my eyes. I always thought of myself as a strong girl who couldn't cry. But it hurts so much.

At that moment I heard the cries of a kitten, and the noise...was coming from my balcony? I hurriedly wiped away my tears to see what was making the noise and when I leaned over the handle rails, I saw a small, grey kitten holding on for dear life on the pipes of a ten-story building. My first instincts were to call the local fire force crew to help, but the chances of Mr kitty holding on till then were pretty slim, so I decided to be reckless and climb out to get him.

---||Same time at the front of Lee Ari's apartment||---

"You told her?! You told her that I, her closest friend, and her boyfriend posted the video?! How am I supposed to look at her now? Why...I...I regret posting that video and thought it could stay in the past, but you had to go and tell her?!" Sun-Hee's voice began to tremble as tears swelled up in her eyes. She looked at the man that she loved yet hated so much at that moment, and all she could think about was how to explain everything to her friend, Lee Ari. "It was a mistake telling you my feelings...I-I never knew you'd go and break up with her..."

There was no use in holding back the tears anymore.

"But you're the one who told me that you won't date me unless we break up..." Ye Joon said as he held the necklace with his large hands, which he originally planned on giving to Sun-Hee.

"I've said this before. We aren't in the wrong. I'll admit what we did to Ari a few months ago wasn't one of our best decision, and I regret it too, but what we did was bound to be found out eventually. She'll move on as well once she figures out how much better off she is without me. Please, I love you, so please don't reject me."

Sun-hee looked up at the naive boy in front of her.

"You love me because I'm the one who saved your life, right?"

Perplexed at the sudden question, Ye Joon hesitated before he answered. "Yes...You're the one who donated your kidney for me and saved my life... Why are you asking that now?"

After some silence, Sun-Hee smiled at the pathetic person she was.

"Your right. The kidney inside you is from me. But I'd had never gone through with the operation if not for Ari...She begged and pleaded to me, saying her childhood friend was in the hospital and needed a kidney transplant. And that I was the only one she knew who matched up with your blood type that she could ask help from. As for me, the only reason I fell for you was because of that face of yours. I'm pathetic. So pathetic...but Ari still stayed with me...and yet at the end, all I accomplished was hurting her. The one who you should be grateful and love dearly is Ari, not me."

"wh-"

*Thud*

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Only the sound of cries which were soon diluted by sirens could be heard afterwards.
