"Some people believe holding on to the storm and fighting it are signs of strength. But there are times when it takes much more strength to let go, then battle with it for the rest of your life to no end."

They say falling in love is the most wonderful thing in the world, but imagine falling in love with your best friend; it's the best feeling in the whole galaxy…

We had known each other for the longest time; all thanks to his mum who sold the house next door to theirs after my parents got married and moved to Seoul.

We naturally became best friends since we were neighbors, and we went to the same schools.

Both of us fell madly in love with each other when I turned 15. I still vividly remember the day he finally confessed about his feelings towards me.

It felt unreal, and I was scared out of my mind. I knew if I fucked up, I wouldn't just lose a boyfriend, I'd lose my best and first friend.

'You know if we go through with this, we either would get married or break up, right?', I asked him.

He took a long pause and moved closed to me, 'Then I'd just marry you after I land a job'

That was eleven years ago.

Little did we know, things changed so drastically after he got discovered by an agency.

He was supposed to take over his father's company, but his parents supported his dreams of becoming an idol and being the supportive girlfriend that I was (or always tried to be), I watched him becoming something I never thought he'd be.

He put all of his effort in it, and I was so happy when the group finally got the recognition that they deserved.

Right after they debuted, he kept his promise.

We decided to get married because we thought that'd be easier with all the traveling and long distance. At that point, it was the right thing to do.

Being a partner to an idol was nothing easy, especially when everything had to be done in absolute secret.

We hid our relationship and our wedding had to be done so discreetly to the point where there were not a lot of photos because the agency wanted to make sure the news did not leak to the public.

I was proud of him and as much as I was supportive of what he was doing, we always got into lots of fights, and it was mostly because I couldn't understand why do we have to keep everything so discreet.

Our dates were mostly spent at each other's houses and we were never once seen in public.

He got tired of us fighting and his agency finally gave the green light to announce our marriage and honestly, we were not surprised with the amount of backlash that we received because we saw the treatment Exo's Chen got after his news got out. So we were prepared.

Maybe he was prepared because I was sure as hell wasn't.

We tried to make it work, but I was getting tired of sasaengs and never having any privacy after the announcement.

So both of us took an easy way out... We got a divorce after 4 years of marriage.

Damn you, Kim Seok Jin.

You promised we'd either break up or get married; getting a divorce was never part of the deal.
