Chapter 8 - Broke Up

° ° °

It's been more than 2 hours since Ara woke up from her drunkenness. She was already sitting on the nightstand right next to Tiffany, from the beginning she realized that until now she has never stopped crying for a second, even though it wasn't a hysterical cry, it still made Tiffany confused.

Outside the room, Gio and Juna were talking face to face. They let each other out what they both had hidden, this is the problem with Juna, and Gio certainly doesn't accept someone he cares about being treated like that. Not only is Gio, but Juna is also annoyed with himself but he has an ego that is too high so he can't give in to Gio.

"This is my business with Ara, haven't I told you many times, Gio? Stop lecturing me, if Ara is really upset with me, she can say it herself!."

"Are you that stupid, Juna? Ara hasn't even stopped crying since she woke up! Do you know? How big are the dark circles around her eyes right now?!."

"What upsets you so much, Gio? She's just your best friend! Don't act so outrageous!."

"Damn, don't you realize your mistake?! Okay, it's just a photo of Tiara in a swimsuit, but about the baby... whose baby is it?! Did you two have a plan when you were in Seoul so you wouldn't be lonely if neither of you was lonely?" back to the apartment?!."

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH! DON'T JUST TALK!."

"Then explain in a gentlemanly manner! Don't just dare to reply to my words! Explain to Ara, apologize to her, if necessary you prostrate at her feet!."

Juna snorted in annoyance, he didn't want his pride to have to go down in front of Gio, a man who was always looking for his faults.

"What do you need to be upset about, Juna!?."

In the room, Tiffany was tired of hearing voices that answered each other without any sign of peace. The two of them were out there yelling at each other, and it made Tiffany's head hurt with dizziness.

"Ara wait here a moment." said Tiffany who then rushed to meet the two men.

The door opened, and the attention of the two men was now turned to Tiffany who was looking at the two of them with a flat gaze.

"What's wrong, Tiff?." asked Gio who thought Ara wanted to say appropriate through Tiffany.

"Juna...." said Tiffany who then stepped out and closed the door of the room.

"If you don't regret your mistake, I think you better go home, get out of here." continued Tiffany.

"Wait- Wait, Tiffany. What does this mean?." Gio asked in confusion and surprise.

"Can't the two of you think clearly? You guys are busy yelling at each other here, in there Ara hasn't stopped crying even for 1 second. Juna! You know it's your fault, but if you can't shake off your ego even just a little bit, then what's the point of you staying here? If there's nothing you can do, then you'd better get out of here, go, I or no one will stop you. Including if you want to go with Tiara...."

"What do you mean by going with Tiara, Tiff?." Gio asked.

"Because... yesterday what I met was, Tiara... she was here, to meet me, and she knew you all were also here... there's no way Juna didn't know about this... right, Juna?." Tiffany looked at Juna with an intimidating look, but Juna showed an expression as if she didn't know anything about what Tiffany said about Tiara, he even blinked his eyes repeatedly, looking at Tiffany and Gio alternately.

"What did you see, Juna? Don't act like you don't know." continued Tiffany again.

"I don't know, why would I lie to you both? Why am I acting stupid? I didn't know Tiara was here, as far as I know... she's still in Seoul!."

"Certain?." asked Tiffany which made Juna start to get annoyed.

"Tiffany, please stop acting annoying! You are nothing Ara! If Gio is currently angry, it can be said that they are best friends! You are nothing! You are just a girl who is crazy about Gio, that's why you're looking for attention right now, right?! Can you shut up, shut your mouth-."

"Juna, shut up!." The scream that came from the door of the room in which Ara was in made the three people there freeze in shock.

Slowly, Juna turned towards the door and... he saw Ara. Yes, it was Ara who snapped at him just now. With small steps, Ara walked toward Juna, and after she stood face to face with Juna, she tried hard to look Juna in the eye. She looked into the eyes of someone she loved so much, the person she had been with for years... the one she trusted the most...

"Juna, I think I should say it." said Ara.

Ara's words that just came out of the girl's lips made Juna's heart beat fast, the problem is... Ara has never spoken to him in this tone of voice.

"Ra." Juna called softly and tried to hold Ara's hand, but Ara refused.

"We should broke up." said Ara quickly.

Yash!

Not only Juna who was surprised to hear those words out of Ara's lips... but Gio and Tiffany were also surprised to hear that. Disbelief heard the word 'break up' that Ara said made Tiffany unconsciously hold Ara's shoulder.

"It's okay, Tiff. I... have thought it through."

"Are you sure, Ra?." asked Gio who also approached Ara.

"Ara... you... want to break up?."

"I didn't ask, Juna. I said we broke up, it wasn't a request, but a statement, and it was absolute."

"Ara, don't decide things in an emotional state!." Juna said in a slightly raised tone.

"I think you're the one being emotional, Juna. I told you, I've thought about it carefully. I broke this relationship, not only because I found Tiara sending her sexy photos to you, or when I read your conversation about baby, I don't know. Whose baby is that, I don't know and I don't want to know... I broke our relationship because..." Ara's words stopped, she took a deep breath and...

"Because I no longer feel your sincerity like I used to, like when everything was still comfortable for me, Juna." continued Ara.

One week later...

The busy field this afternoon comforted Ara's heart, which still felt empty since then, since the moment she decided to break up with Juna.

"I can't be like this, after all this is my decision! I can't stay in sadness for long, I have to move on!." She said with a determined heart.

On the other side, Tiffany who was buying 2 bottles of mineral water at a shop not far from where Ara was sitting waiting for her was suddenly surprised by the arrival of someone who about 3 days ago started to approach her...

"Hey, Tiffany." he said smiling.

"Ah, you turned out...hey too Bryan!." Tiffany said.

"You often exercise here too?." he asked who then also bought mineral water at the shop.

"Not really, just accompanying people hehe. Are you alone?."

"Me? If you say it often, I haven't, because I just moved here. You know I'm a transfer child."

"Oh yeah, I forgot hehe."

"Where are you going?."

"Accompany my friend who has been waiting for me, there!." said Tiffany who then pointed to Ara who was sitting.

"Oh, come on."

The man named Bryan took out his wallet and paid for the mineral water...not only the mineral water, but the mineral water that Tiffany bought he also paid for. After that he took Tiffany's hand and held it without asking Tiffany's availability to hold her hand first, then the two of them walked to where Ara was sitting.

The arrival of the two of course made Ara wrinkle her forehead in confusion, the problem was... they both kept holding hands until they were in front of Ara.

"Eh- this is Ra. Hehe." Tiffany who stuttered made Bryan chuckle in exasperation next to her.

"Why are you so cute!?." said Bryan, who then stroked the top of Tiffany's head, of course it made the girl freeze instantly. Ara who witnessed that was also silent, she spoke in her heart...

"Gosh, it's really bad luck to be single like this, watching the romance between the two of them!."
