Prologue

"Let's break up, Junpyo." Geum Jandi wanted to take back all the words she had said. It hurt but she had to, "There's no use of continuing this."

"I'm sorry." She didn't want his apology. She wanted him to deny that all she had seen was not like what it seemed. She did want him to say sorry but didn't want them to end their relationship. Where was Gu Junpyo who always opposed her every stupid idea? Who was this Gu Junpyo?

It's still clearly pictured in her mind how wonderful her life had turned since the first time she met him a month ago.

"I… I hope you'll be happy with your life, Junpyo," Jandi almost couldn't recognize her own trembling voice. God help her, the last thing she wanted was him seeing her breaking down because the pain in her chest was now suffocating her as he wound his arm around the girl in the skimpy black dress waist, the same arms that possessively had wrapped around her waist just days ago.

Jandi couldn't help that the girl he was with now was way much prettier than her, hotter than her, and even taller than her. It wasn't fair that he made a handsome couple with the girl. She could never be that girl, Jandi was forever Geum Jandi the ordinary and pathetic nerd who was doomed to live her life alone.

Jandi eyed the girl who should have been her. Why did she agree to go? She should have stayed, tugged safely in her bed. She was so bored because Junpyo didn't call her like he usually did on Saturday night, so when her friends asked her to go she immediately agreed. And now she knew why he hadn't called her. He was busy. Part of her regretted for coming here in the first place but another part of her was grateful that she finally saw who he was. It was fool of her that she fancied herself in love with someone who didn't even have a slight feeling toward her.

"I'm sorry I can't be…" Jandi couldn't find the right words to say as turned to the girl and whispered, "…like her."

"I…" Jandi saw a flicker of hope, seeing his expression change as he tried to mutter something but it was gone with his quick change expression.

"Yes, you can't be like her and will never be." He said as if he had regretted those weekends together with her. As if he regretted those sweet kisses they shared under the tree where they had carved their name together. God, she didn't know this could be this painful.

"Good… bye, Junpyo," She couldn't prevent her tears from flowing because damn it did help to cry, "Good bye…" Jandi turned her heels to leave. All she wanted to do was to crawl onto her bed and cry her heart out. She didn't know what had made her turned around because when she saw the smug smile on his handsome face it angered her and before she knew it she had lifted her hand and slapped his face. It seemed to startle him and damn it felt good.

Jandi said nothing. This time she would leave. Time would heal her broken heart.

"Who is she? She seems nice?"

Jandi wanted to ignore what the girl had said to Junpyo. She was thankful that he didn't answer the question. She didn't want to hear his opinion about her again and she didn't know if she could bear whatever he was going to say because the bridge looked tempting to jump off.

No. She wasn't going to jump off the bridge because some guy broke up with her. She was not suicidal. The girl was right. Geum Jandi was just a nice girl and no one would want her. She had to stop being nice. Yes, she had to change and show him one day if they would ever meet again she would show him that she was better without him and he was going to regret ever broke up with her.
