chapter -5

"Dak-ho, you are here! " she said excitingly.

But to her surprise, it was not Dak-ho but a girl who was actually not unfamiliar to Aki. She was the girl Dak-ho's grandmother set him up on a blind date with.

"What are you doing here".said aki while trying to not make a bad expression.

" Akiko I know you don't like me, but please listen to me this once. I know we don't have a good past together but this time I want to talk to you as a woman. "She said with gloomy eyes.".

She directed Aki to sit on the chair .

"Akiko I know it wouldn't be easy to digest but I am also dating Dak-ho".She said that with expression as if she was pitying Aki.

"What the hell are you talking about.I trust Dak-ho enough to not fall into your lies .You can not fool me with your lies".She said that in cold tone and asked the girl Kim Nam-gi to leave but the girl just sat there silent.

"Oh! you don't seem to be in the mood to leave . But that's okay because I am leaving" she said that while picking her bag in order to leave.

"And what if I say I have proof. " she said confidently while looking straight into Aki's eyes ..

Aki sat on the chair again after listening to her though not believing her and said "Show me what you've got. And if you don't have any solid proof then don't ever show me your face again."

Nam-gi pulled out her phone from her handbag and showed her the screenshots of conversation between her and Dak-ho of the previous day

Conversation:

Nam-gi: It's been such a long time now.. why haven't you broken up with her yet.Do you still like her?

 Dak-ho: What are you talking about... I only have you in my heart.

Nam-gi:So why are you still seeing her.It makes me think that I am just your side-chick.

Dak-ho:It's not like that my love. It's just that we were best friends before we starting dating each other.So I feel bad about breaking up with her. I have already lost feelings for her a long while ago because she just used to use me as her emotional support animal .I couldn't even breathe freely a single day without her telling me some lame ,sad story about her past.I just can't break up with her because she used to be suicidal jn the past and I am worried she will die if J am gone and then I would have to take responsibility.I really feel suffocated around her but I can't even tell her that for the sake of our past friendship. I truly just pity her and I don't have any feelings for her.

Tears started dripping on Aki's cheeks as she was reading those messages.Her throat was heavy at that time , her heart was aching and her hands started shaking.

She got up without saying a word and came out of the restraunt . She then started walking towards her house while her tears didn't stop. She was trying so hard not to cry but tears just wouldn't stop coming.

"So all those beautiful moments I experienced with him were just an act" she thought.

" Or maybe I was being too selfish while dating him and didn't even realize I suffocated him."

"But still , did he really have cheat on me. Why did he raise my hopes. Why didn't he tell me he lost feelings for him. I wouldn't have forced him to date me. I love him enough to let him go. "

After around 15 minutes of walking her phone started ringing. She looked at the screen and found out it was Dak-ho calling her. She didn't pick up the phone as she was feeling so guilty about making him suffer and was also resenting him.

After some time she reached their shared apartment and found Dak-ho sitting on the couch.
