At school, you were the quiet one, not many friends, but you did have Ryul. You and Ryul had been best friends for who knows how long. You guys hung out everyday to the point where you eventually gained feelings for him. Currently you guys are hanging out at your house watching a movie, specifically a horror movie. You hated horror movies, which is why he picked it, so you’d cuddle up to him when you got scared. During the movie Ryul got up to use the bathroom, leaving you alone for a bit.
Quietly he walked back behind the couch to scare you.He put his hands on your shoulders in a quick movement, causing you to jolt. “Ryul don’t do that!” you smacked his arm as he walked back around to sit next to you. “Why not, hm? You're cute when you're scared..” He trailed off. “What?” “What, something wrong?” “Yeah-um what’s that supposed to mean?” you asked quietly. “It means..” he looked ahead of him at the paused tv “I like you y/n” he let out a sigh looking at you. “oh.” “shit, is it a bad thing? I’m sorry, j-just forget it” he laughed nervously, standing up. “No wait-” you grabbed his wrist to stop him from leaving.
“I like you too Ryul” you looked up at him. In one swift motion he quickly sat down and kissed you. Pulling away you let out a relieved sigh. “Does this mean..?” you started. “That you’re my girlfriend? Yeah-yeah” he stuttered. That night ended with you cuddled up with Ryul. You had thought everything was going to be perfect, and it was-for at least the first month.
Like normal, the two of you hung out all the time, but having a popular boyfriend doesn’t make you popular-it makes you a new victim. Considering half the girls in the school wanted him as their own boyfriend, people only bullied you harder, putting death threats in your locker, putting their foot out to trip you. At first Ryul did stick up for you. every. time. But slowly he stopped.
You were sitting in your seat, in the far back corner, ryul normally sat next to you. But today was different. He walked into class and came right over to you, “hey baby, i’m gonna sit with my friends today alright?” but without even giving you time to respond he walked away. His friends sat on the other side of the room, which meant you were alone for the whole class period. You sighed out of defeat, putting your head down.
When class started the popular girls came over and stood around you, “your boyfriend left you to sit all alone huh” you didn’t lift your head up to look at them just ignored and waited for them to leave. Eventually class ended, it was now lunch time, you went to sit with ryul in your usual spot, but instead he responded with “sitting with friends today, baby” giving you a kiss on your forehead. “Oh okay..” you said quietly. You walked to the bathroom to eat your lunch not even trying with your other ‘friends’, after all it was obvious they didn’t really even like you.
Over with Ryul
After his friends sat down they were talking. They weren’t talking about anything specifically until ohyul brought you up, “So you finally done with her?” “Yeah, where is she anyway?” Woojin said. “I think I saw her walk to the bathroom” Ryul chuckled and looked back towards the bathroom for a second then back at his friends shaking his head. “Dude you need to do something about her.” “like what?” Ryul said back “like ghost her, I don’t know. But she don’t deserve you. Like eating lunch in the bathroom stall? You can literally get any girl here you want. And chose her. Seriously?” Ryul laughed and nodded “yea, i guess you're right, thanks bro” he said dabbing up ohyul.
Time skip (back to your pov)
When you got home, you just layed in your bed confused. The only time Ryul had talked to you today was when he was basically just telling you to go away. You called him, and unlike normal he didn’t answer. You called again hoping that maybe he just wasn’t near his phone, and he answered after the third ring. “Hello?” ryul said on the other side of the phone. “Ryul? Are we okay you barely talked to me today?” “Sure-yea, we’re fine don’t worry” “Can we hang out then? I miss you.” On the other end Ryul hesitated but ended up saying yes.
The two of you ended up going to the mall, but he was quieter than he is most of the time. You had asked him if you could go into miniso, usually when you go in he comes with, buys you a few things, but this time? He didn’t, instead he let go of your hand and told you he had to make a call leaving you to go on your own.
You were in the shop for a few minutes but just decided to leave due to your mood being a bit down because of Ryul acting weird towards you. But when you did walk out ryul just said, “Hey i have to get home my mom needs my help with something.” He didn’t even look up at you from his phone? “Oh okay, can you at least take me home then?” To that he just nodded. The car ride back to your house was silent other than the quiet hum of the radio.
Later that night, you had gotten no texts nor calls from your boyfriend, it was just pure silence. And you hated it. Everything was different in the span of one day. ‘Maybe today’s just an off day, and we’ll be back to normal tomorrow.’ You told yourself that over and over just hoping that you weren’t going to lose your best friend, the person that got you through some of the toughest times in your life.
School the next day was the same. Ryul sitting away from you, getting made fun of, and eating lunch in the bathroom. You had no clue what was going on, or what you had done wrong to him for you to even deserve this. After school you had decided you were done waiting on him to talk to you, so you went to his house and knocked on the door. But his mom answered, “Oh hi,” You let out a tired chuckle with a smile. “Is ryul here?” “He actually just went out to the park with some friends.” Your smile dropped but you thanked her, leaving to go to the one park that you and him had gone to all the time.
Just as you thought, he was there, with Ohyul. “Ryul?” You asked quietly, Ohyul laughed at how you came all the way just to see the one boy who didn’t even want you anymore. “Y/n? What are you even doing here?” “I wanted to talk to you” “About what?” he sounded annoyed, like actually annoyed. But you asked anyway, “are we okay?” “You’re asking me that again?” he looked at you like you were crazy. “God you’re pathetic. Don’t you get it? I don’t like you. Those girls are right, I can date almost anyone I want, but I chose you?” he shook his head as tears fell down your cheeks. You couldn’t believe what you heard, you had to be hearing things wrong. Right? You just couldn't do it, your knees gave out and hit the grass, you sat there numb, but Ryul?
He walked away like it was nothing.
