1 A Last Coffee in the Snow (1/2)
”I can't do this anymore. I'm leaving.”
Seojoon looked up from his papers and stared at his girlfriend in confusion. ”Excuse me-”
”I can't stay with you. I'm done. I want to break up.”
Seojoon let out a dry laugh as he placed his papers down and slowly stood up. ”Is this some sort of joke? Are you angry that I forgot about our anniversary? I promise you that I would make it up-”
*Paak*
Seojoon flinched as a sharp pain appeared on his cheek. He had been slapped.
Holding his burning face, he slowly faced his girlfriend once more with a dumbfounded expression.
”Dear-”
”SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!”
Seojoon watched his girlfriend with a blank look and saw many things he hadn't seen before. The dark circles under her eyes, puffy eyes from many nights of crying, her trembling lips, and her tearing eyes. A scarlet gem glittered sadly on her chest, a necklace he had bought her for her birthday many years ago.
How long had it been since he had last celebrated it?

Seojoon took a deep breath before lowering his hands. ”.... how can I make it up?”
She shook her head before taking off the necklace around her neck. She stared at the glittering red gem in her hand for a moment before placing it on his desk. ”You've done enough. All I want you to do is for this to end. We never spend time together and you love this job more than me.”
”It's not that I don't love you, it's that I need to work-”
”I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR WORK!” She screamed, causing Seojoon to flinch.
”I CAN HANDLE THE FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE MONEY! WE CAN JUST WORK TOGETHER TO EARN A LIVING! I CAN UNDERSTAND IT IF YOU GET ANGRY WITH ME OR FIGHT WITH ME! ITS HOW WE GET CLOSER! BUT YOU DONT DO ANYTHING! YOU DONT EVEN TRY TO SPEND TIME WITH ME! YOU ARE ALWAYS WORKING OVERTIME FOR WEEKS AND MONTHS! YOU NEVER SHOW UP AT OUR HOUSE!”
She burst into a torrent of tears as she stood screaming at Seojoon.
”I LOVED YOU! I STILL DO! BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO TREAT ME LIKE I NEVER EXISTED! THEN I'M GOING TO LEAVE!”
Seojoon watched her with a blank emotion. His head whirred at a high speed as he tried to formulate a plan, just as he would do when he was trying to help his student with a question. However this time he didn't have an answer.
All he could do was stand and stare at his girlfriend.
”.... is this your answer?” She said, biting her lips. ”After all this, you still have nothing to say to me?”
