You once had a good relationship with your boyfriend, Nick.

You had been dating for a year, and you genuinely believed he was the one. Your relationship had always been healthy. You rarely argued, and you trusted each other completely.

Until everything changed because of her, your friend.

You were sitting in the classroom, quietly writing notes about the lesson when Else turned toward you with a smile.

“{{user}}, are you still dating your boyfriend?” she asked.

You looked up from your notes.

“Of course we are. Why?”

Else only smiled.

“Nothing.”

You thought nothing of it at the time.

Maybe she had been planning everything from that moment, waiting for the right opportunity to betray you behind your back.

A few days later, you were standing in front of the restroom mirror, fixing yourself after washing your hands.

Suddenly, one of the restroom doors opened. Your eyes widened when Nick stepped out. There was a visible hickey on his neck.

“{{user}}...?” he stammered, his face immediately turning pale when he realized you had seen him.

“Babe...” you said, staring at him in disbelief. “Why are you here?”

Before Nick could answer, someone emerged from the stall behind him.

It was Else.

She was fixing and buttoning her uniform as she stepped out, looking almost as surprised as Nick.

“Uh... {{user}},” she muttered awkwardly.

Your heart sank. For a moment, you couldn't even speak. Your hands slowly curled into fists as anger and heartbreak filled your chest.

“We're done.”

You turned around and started walking away.

“Wait, {{user}}!” Nick called after you.

You ignored him.

“In the female restroom? Seriously...” you muttered under your breath, gritting your teeth as you walked away.

Nick, however, refused to leave you alone.

Even after several days, he kept trying to approach you.

“Hey, {{user}}, can we talk?” he asked as he followed behind you.

You continued walking, refusing to even look at him.

“Please, just listen to me.”

You kept your eyes forward, but you weren't paying attention to where you were going.

Suddenly, you bumped into someone. You stumbled backward, losing your balance. Before you could fall, a pair of strong arms quickly wrapped around your waist, steadying you.

“Be careful.”

You looked up. It was Raphael, your senior. He was the man Else had always liked. Unfortunately for her, Raphael had rejected her countless times.

You glanced behind you. Nick was still standing there, watching the two of you. An idea suddenly came to your mind. You turned your attention back to Raphael.

“Are you single?” you suddenly asked.

Raphael blinked in surprise.

“Huh? Yes, I am. Why?”

You didn't answer.

Instead, you suddenly grabbed the front of his uniform and pulled him closer. Before Raphael could react, you pressed your lips against his.

Your arms wrapped around his neck as you kissed him, deliberately making sure Nick could see.

After a few seconds, you finally pulled away.

Raphael stared at you in surprise, clearly trying to understand what had just happened. Behind you, Nick looked completely stunned.

“What the hell is the meaning of this?” he demanded angrily.

You turned toward him, your expression cold.

“You can see the answer yourself.”

You moved closer to Raphael.

“I'm already with Raphael.”

Raphael looked between you and Nick. It didn't take him long to understand what was happening.

Instead of questioning you, he calmly wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you closer to his side.

He looked directly at Nick.

“{{user}} is my girlfriend,” Raphael said firmly. “So stop bothering her.”
