THE BEGINNING

The three went blank when I told them I want to stop our relationship but as I finish talking they actually said

“Yay!”

“What’s with the yay?” I asked as cold as an ice.

“Well you know we are just umm worried. There’s this rumor that Yan and Tor had an affair and we didn’t know how to say I mean we just want you to catch them first before telling you”. Emi explained.

“You’re actually dumb expressing your feelings and you know it might be troublesome for us since you don’t know how to react or what to say and you may end up losing the argument and give him a chance again and both of you may start dating again and because of your kindness he may end up having an affair with Yan again heheh….nevermind”. Marco added.

Actually, it was me who spread the rumor, hehe. You see, he had multiple affairs before, but I pretended not to know and didn't tell my friends. However, not long ago, they found out it. We had just started dating for three months when I discovered he was having an affair with Yan. I told him I wanted to break up, but he pleaded with me, promising he would never do it again. Against my better judgment, I gave him a second chance.

I didn't give him a chance because I believed his words, but because I didn't want my first relationship to end after just three months of dating. Looking back, I realize it was a foolish decision, but at the time, I couldn't blame myself for making it, considering it was my first time in a relationship. So we ended up staying together for over a year, but during that time, he continued to have affairs every month.

It's embarrassing to admit that I overlooked his repeated infidelity, but I was naïve and inexperienced in relationships. I learned the hard way that trust and honesty are crucial in any relationship, and I shouldn't have tolerated such behavior. It's a valuable lesson that I carry with me as I move forward in my dating life.

……

2 days had passed and at last Leo is here.

I didn’t waste my time to grab his hand after he enter the house.

“Let’s talk”.

“Oh my, I didn’t know Rin-chan missed me this much”.

*Door closes*

“Well what do you want to talk abo-“

As soon as I closed the door to my room, tears started to flow uncontrollably as if I was experiencing the pain for the first time. The weight of despair, anger, regret, and hatred felt overwhelming, and I struggled to find the words to explain these complex emotions. I've always wanted to confront Tor with my anger, but whenever I try, no words seem to come out. My thoughts become a jumbled mess, making it difficult for me to express myself clearly.

In an attempt to cope, I resorted to being cold towards Tor whenever I'm angry or when he does something wrong. However, this only seems to further misunderstandings, as my coldness is often misinterpreted by him. This is another reason why I hate him, as it seems like his feelings are the only ones that matter to him, and he fails to understand mine.

“tssssk” This is embarrassing, I can’t slow down nor say a word.

Leo’s POV

I didn’t even say hi to Aunt an Rin immediately held my hand, maybe she wants to talk something important…ahhhh I wonder what it is, let’s just follow mylady’s decision.

“Well what do you want to talk abo-“

She's in tears, but it's not due to any physical injury. Rather, it's clear that her tears are fueled by anger. Although she didn't explicitly state the cause of her tears, I stumbled upon the truth when we were younger. It was quite amusing to me when I finally realized that she would cry out of frustration, and I found it endearing in a way. I couldn't help but chuckle as I came to understand that all it took was a comforting hug to soothe her.

It was a revelation to me that she would cry out of frustration, and I couldn't fathom why at that time. But looking back, I found it cute in a peculiar way. Knowing that a simple gesture of a hug could alleviate her distress was heartwarming.

I guess it can’t be helped, a tight hug can calm her down.

“Mirin is frustrated again, its Tor isn’t? Is he being immature again? Is he forcing you? He’s not being considerate is he? Oh I know! He’s doing it again, right? What an illiterate man.”

This brings back memories of when we were kids. There was this joke going around about me having a girly face, but it quickly got out of hand and Mirin ended up offending me. It's true that I had long lashes and hair, and my demeanor was soft, unlike Mirin who was brave enough to stood up for me and scared them off with her assertiveness and so I ended up crying in front of her.

Despite knowing the reason behind my tears, Mirin didn't hesitate to hug me and ask me many questions. It was her way of comforting me and trying to understand why I was upset. Looking back, I didn't anticipate that I would end up confiding in her and seeking her support. It's interesting how our roles sometimes reverse. Mirin's compassionate response to my tears left a lasting impression on me, and I didn't realize that one day I would be doing the same for her.

“I-I’ll tell you e-everything-“.*sobs sobs*

“I know, I know, take your time, I can wait”.

Then she cried again.

*vacation comes to an end*

I'm glad the midterm are finally here, what a relief! However, the aftermath of the breakup has been quite challenging for me. My ex has been constantly pestering me every day, and to make matters worse, he has been spreading rumors about us, claiming that we were involved in something. But I've decided not to let his lies bother me, and I'll leave it to those who adore him to believe in his false stories.

In fact, he has gone to great lengths to make my life difficult. He has threatened me, talked to my mom, and even tried to take me away forcefully. Fortunately, during that tough time, I had the support of my dear friends Leo, Emi, Akari, and Marco. They had just returned from their vacation, which they had found quite tiring, and were planning to head home.

However, when I reached out to them for help, little did I know that Leo had already informed them about Tor's behavior, describing how he was causing a scene. As a result, they decided to extend their vacation and stay at my house to lend me a hand. I was truly grateful for their unwavering support during that period.

After everything that Tor put me through, I had to take a decisive step to protect my emotional well-being. So, I made the tough decision to block him on all social media apps. Seeing his presence on my feed or receiving any notifications from him only served to fuel my anger and frustration. I realized that distancing myself from him was essential in order to heal and move on from the hurt he caused.

It's bewildering to me why Tor would continue to pester me, especially considering he had Yan in his life. It's difficult to comprehend why he would behave in such a contradictory manner, as if being a two-timer. Nevertheless, I am determined to avoid him and create a healthy distance between us. I want to give myself the space and peace of mind I need to fully move on from this toxic situation and ensure that Tor's presence in my life becomes a distant memory.

“Come my child for I am leaving again to study”.

“Cut it Leo, I’m late”.

“Let me drive you, you cold hearted crybaby”.

*smack*

“Let’s go Rin-chan you’re going to be late”.

What an annoying brat but I owe him a lot ahahah.

…..

“Leo, when-“

“I’ll be back in two weeks then I can finally run the business”.

He always knew what will I going to say, but wait just two weeks? So that means he’ll start running their company since he’s finished with his studies. Ahahahah I didn’t know I had a big time friend hihih.

“The hell?! you looked like you want to steal money from me”.

“Quite accurate hihihih”.

Since he answered my question I’ll be going to the class then.

“Mirin, don’t be-“.

“I won’t eheheh, see you in two weeks!! I’m late takecare!!!!”.

“What a troublesome girl I had, I guess it can be helped…See you in two weeks Midori”.-Leo talking to himself.

.....

"Rin!!! Did you finished your artwork?" Emi rushed to me in panic.

"Oh I completely forgot about that".

Right, before break our Art teacher told us to make some kind of stuff related to arts. I can't believe I forgot, that's my favorite subject.

"Oy you three what's with that look?"

"We're so blessed you forgot, Mirin our friend". The emotionless Akari is now saying such words. I'm a bit touched to be called Mirin our friend by my Akari hshshhsh.

"You three didn't do it too right?"

*nods*

"Oh my I'm also blessed having you guys".-sobs sobs.

(Four of them hugging and crying each other because they all forgot about the activity)
