Jun kept his phone away and went back to cooking. He let out a mocking chuckle, recalling what happened in the past life on New Years Eve.
*Flashback*
Can you please stop this, Jun? Our Christmas already didnt go as planned, Shui expressed, exasperated. I want to go to the mall and come home by myself.
I am just worried about you! I am your boyfriend. There is nothing wrong with picking my girlfriend! he narrowed his eyes.
There is. Isnt it already enough that you blamed my friend for harassing me even though it was proved that he didnt!?
Jun stiffened.
It was indeed a misunderstanding from Juns side in gauging her classmates intentions who was just trying to save Shui from falling on the floor. The whole party atmosphere was ruined after that.
She gritted her teeth. Not only did you accuse him, you even refused to apologize to him. You know, some people at my college still give him disdainful looks as if he is some pervert even though he is innocent. He and his girlfriend even had a huge fight. I dont want you to accompany me. So, leave!
Jun exclaimed in frustration. Why does it matter if I come with you? I feel at ease when I am by your side. What? Do you hate your boyfriends presence now? Have you become sick of me?
I didnt say it like that! Dont make me sound as if I am a terrible girlfriend. Sometimes, I feel that you dont trust me, she curled her fingers..
Jun widened his eyes. Of course, I trust you. I am not insecure because you will find another man. I just
You just what Jun? She pressed her forehead. You dont have to be so protective of me.
And is it bad that a boyfriend is protective of his girlfriend? His voice had a dangerous ring to it.
That Shui didnt know how to express her point clearly. There grew a nagging feeling the more they spent time together. But she couldnt put her finger upon it.
Jun remained adamant. I will drop you to the shopping mall. Its not a big deal!
Shui was frustrated. Jun you are not willing to listen to anything! You want to neither apologize to my classmate, nor let me go! Lets justjust leave me alone for now.
His gaze darkened. I wont. I dont feel I did anything wrong. He touched you, and I cannot tolerate that!
That was to help me! She angrily laughed. But its okay. If you want to keep behaving like this, then we dont have to talk anymore. Dont show me your face!
She turned on her heels and rushed away.
Shui!
*Flashback ends*
After Christmas, it was their second big argument that happened on this same New Years Eve in his past life. Shui had ignored him for the rest of the evening. Even when the clock struck twelve, they didnt exchange new year greetings.
That fight was the onset of their rocky relationship that slowly began to deteriorate the more time passed.
Jun smiled.
But there would be no arguments today because guess what? I am not there, he laughed. Hm. What must she be doing? Dancing with Jin? Holding hands? Orkissing? He applied more pressure to the knife.
Its better for everyone if Jun is not present to ruin the party. Cheers, Jun, he sneered.
He looked outside the window and frowned.
Why hasnt Ai returned yet? She cannot possibly forget the plan she made for tonight, right?

His dinner preparations were already over, but there was no sign of Ai yet. He exhaled and rested on the living rooms couch. Tired, he dozed off to a nap.
A few hours later, he woke up to the sound of someones cars engine stopping outside. He glanced at the time and was shocked to know that it was already 11.17 PM. Less than forty-five minutes were left for the new year to come.
Ai still isnt back?
He picked his phone but remembered that he didnt have her number.
Damn it!
He was about to find it out when he heard the sound of a car stop outside. Somebody stepped out it and shut the door.
Is it Ai?
Jun slid open the curtains and watched his condos gate. Suddenly, his body went numb.
It wasnt Ai but Shui who was heading towards his condo.
Why is she here? Didnt I already tell Jin that I am out of the city!?
Jun scrambled out as soon as he could. Before Shui could reach his door, he already met her outside in the small garden between the gate and his house.
Shui stopped in her tracks and slightly stiffened. Her lips parted in disbelief as she stared at him.
So, I was right. You werent out of the city. You lied to Jin.
Jun stayed silent. He spoke after a long pause, Why are you here, Shui?
I should ask why arent you at the party?
He gave a vague smile. You shouldnt care about that after our breakup. Whether I am at any party or whether I lie, it really shouldnt matter to you anymore.
Shui blinked her eyes.
Whats the matter, Jun?
He said nothing.
I dont understand. Did I do something wrong? You just suddenly came to me one day and announced that we should break up. But we didnt fight. So what went wrong? I have been reaching out to you for several days now. I wanted to talk about this on Christmas because it was too sudden when you broke up. I felt there was something unresolved between us. If we dont talk, then I wont understand anything. But you ignored all my messages! What am I supposed to tell my family about us when I dont know what is going on?
Enough!
His shrill made her jolt.
Enough already Jun sharply inhaled. The string of his patience was close to snapping into two.
Leave, Shui. Just leave.
It was the first time that Juns voice had a touch of coldness towards the woman he loved so much.
Her voice broke, W-why are youReally, have I become such a terrible person to you now?
Jun stared at her and chuckled, which turned into a loud, ironic laughter. Funny you say that, Shui. Its not you who is terrible. It is me. I am the most horrible man here who always got in the way of your and Jins love. Am I not right?
