Prologue

"It was a mistake," you said.

But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you."

"Min Yoongi" someone cried and I looked over to see it was Jimin who was a buddy of mine since elementary school. We worked in the same cafe, but he was late today he was going to get a scolding from the manager who was looking for him since morning.

"What is it?" I said while serving latte to one of the costumers.

"You won't believe," he said panting and pale. He then went to the manager who was doing some accounting at the front desk and said "Hyung, Yoongi and I need to be somewhere can you please give us some moment". It scared me what was it that he wanted to tell me?

"You're late" Seokjin our manager exclaimed.

"I swear I'll make it up to you" after that he took my hand and I could hear Jin calling us from the cafe.

"What is it?" I questioned once we were on the street.

"I don't know how to say this," he said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"What is it" I shouted louder and now everyone was staring at us but I didn't care. All I could think of was Jae Hwa, she was everything to me, she was my lifeline I could never think of letting anything happen to her, she was all I had in this world, she was the reason I was alive.

"Did something happen to Jae Hwa" I asked, my hands were shaking and so was my whole body.

"Jae Hwa is getting married" he replied and I felt as if the ground beneath my feet had shaken, I couldn't believe my ears.

"No, no no," I said in disbelief this couldn't be happening " It is not true, we went out yesterday she didn't tell me anything".

"I am sorry," He said his eyes filled with sincerity and I knew that it wasn't some sort of prank.

I ran as fast as I could, crossing the road even though everyone was in line for the pedestrian signal to turn green.

"What are you doing?" I could hear people calling as I crossed the road.

"Wait, Yoongi it is no use" shouted Jimin as he ran fast to catch me.

I could slowly feel the scar of betrayal getting wider as I made my way to her house.

My feet now sore as I approached her house, it was covered in beautiful white roses, and people were going inside the house with gifts in their hands.

I rushed inside the house and I could hear the security calling me.

"Do you Kim Jae Hwa take Choi Joon Woo as your lawfully wedded husband?" asked the priest a tall man soon to be her husband held her hand but before she could say anything I called out at the top of my lungs" I object".

The whole crowd of guests who were seated in the garden turned their heads and looked at me.

"How could you do this" I shouted, tears rolling down my cheek, I could see her she was shocked and she couldn't stop staring at me.

"I would tell the whole world what you did to me" I exclaimed not knowing what I was saying or what I was doing.

Her mother walked in front of the stage told something in her daughter's ear.

"I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this mad man. I guess he just came for money, you know poor people and their greediness for money" she lied, but how could she say something like this I wasn't crazy or insane and yes I was madly in love and I lost badly.

I wiped my tears as new tears started running fast down my cheek, Jae Hwa excused herself and came up to me.

"Let's go inside," she said without even looking at me and I did as I was told cause I needed an explanation.

We went into the living room where there was no one.

I stared at her unable to believe that she was the same girl who made me laugh, who told me she loved me more than anyone, who made me feel special and who made this gloomy world look bright and beautiful.

"You need an explanation right, so here it is," she said aggressively making me feel as she was some sort of stranger I didn't know.

"I didn't like you, I just pitied you cause you were just a lonely lost kid and you mistook my actions for love. He has everything money, fame, and a huge business what do you have?" she said without looking at me and her words broke my heart shattered it into a million pieces.

"No, no I know this is not you who is talking. You told me a thousand times that you loved me right?" I asked placing my hands on her shoulder making her look at me but she shrugged off.

"Didn't you hear her" walked in her mother with a bunch of bodyguards by her side" Or do you need a nice beating".

I ignored them and held her warm hands" If they are making you do this, I swear I will make it alright just tell me once, just give me a sign' I pleaded my eyes filled with tears. She burst into tears and left the living room.

"Take him" ordered her mother. The world around me turned black into a nightmare that I wanted to desperately escape from, I couldn't feel a thing even though the grip of the bodyguards around my arms was strong.

They took me by my arms and threw me out on the street. They punched and kicked, I was just a dead man standing there, another punch on my stomach and I blacked out.

Around the corner, I could hear Jimin pleading them to stop it. But on the contrary I wanted to stop him cause I wanted to die, right now. The pain that burned like fire a few moments ago had faded away to an icy numbness. Black filled the edges of my vision and the only thing I could hear was my heartbeat.
