My Ex-Girlfriend Regrets Dumping Me

0 – Ended Fate

A connection that lasted for 16 years.

I never thought our long-standing bond would end so easily with just one word saying she was tired of it.

No matter how much I tried to hold on, she left me in a cold-hearted manner, and I ended up being alone.

I cried a lot and went through a lot of hardships.

There were days when I secluded myself in a corner, drinking like a recluse.

If only I had joined the military right away, so that my body would have been exhausted, perhaps I would’ve entertained some strange thoughts.

But anyway, the fate has come to an end.

It was difficult to gather my heart, but after deliberating for two years, I finally made up my mind to forget her and start a new life.

So, I finished my military service and returned to school, receiving a call from an unknown number.

If I had known that it was her, I wouldn’t have answered the call.

…

…

…

[“Geon-yul… you know… can we start again?”]

A trembling voice calling my name.

Words mixed with tears coming from the other side of the phone.

The familiar tone, because she was someone I loved more than anyone else.

Now, I hated that voice more than anyone else’s.

“…”

I couldn’t say anything in response to her pleading words.

When did she ever leave me in such a cold-hearted way? Why is she doing this to me now?

Unknowingly, tears that I had forgotten started welling up in my eyes again.

[Please… I’m begging you. Don’t hang up, just listen to me once…]

I had no intention of continuing to listen to her words.

Because our relationship is completely over anyway.

I cut off the conversation and conveyed what I had to say.

[Since I have nothing to say to you, don’t call me again.]

*Click*

And so, the call disconnected abruptly, without a word.

Just like our relationship, which had already come to an end – cold and distant.
