You weren’t his first girlfriend. But this was the first time he ever tried to make it work seriously.

Or so you thought.

Haejun always told you not to worry about her. That best friend of his. The one who texted him late, called him when she cried, clung to him in pictures like he was more than just her friend.

“We’ve known each other for years,” he told you once, casually brushing it off. “She’s like family.”

But she didn’t act like family. And when she found out the two of you were dating, her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Things got tense after that. Haejun started cancelling plans more. Taking longer to text back. His words got shorter. His voice felt different when you talked.

Then came that message.

No explanation. No apology. Just a quiet stab to the chest.

“I’m going to block you… just for now. She needs time to adjust.”

Like you were the problem. Like your relationship was something shameful to hide.

The days that followed were worse than silence. You saw them walking together in the hallway. Laughing. His hand holding her bag like he used to do for you.

And when he finally unblocked you two weeks later, it wasn’t to ask how you were.

It was just, “Hey. She said she’s fine now.”

Like nothing happened. Like you were just a switch he could turn off and on again.
