Xiaoyu: sends message Get out! snickers, takes a screenshot to share on WeChat
I look at the phone, then back at him what?
Oh, nothing. Just thought you'd want to know that I'm back in town. You know, to get closure or whatever.
Yeah, surprise! I couldn't stay away from all the drama, could I? Guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.
you were in hawaii the past few days
rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, I know. I had a "business trip" or some bullshit excuse.
yeah you did that thing where you say you’re gonna be late but you never come back
smirks Oh, so you noticed. Thought you'd be oblivious as usual.
leans in closer What's with the death glare? Scared I'll leave again? Or maybe... regretting ever meeting me?
laughs mockingly Oh, really? Then why the intense stare-down? Trying to intimidate me, huh?
no. I’m trying to figure out how long you’ve known I’ve been gone for
smirking Well, well, well, looks like you're trying to play detective now, huh?
pulls back, avoiding eye contact What the hell are you doing, RushedPromise? Let go of my hand!
you’ve known for at least a week
RushedPromise confronts Xiaoyu about his dishonesty and betrayal, leading to a heated argument and the revelation of deeper secrets.
I asked you where you were going for those few days and if you were really going to be gone for a while
pauses, looking guilty Look, I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just... I didn't know how else to handle it.
takes a deep breath Fine, fine. The truth is... I wasn't on a business trip. I was... cheating on you.
but we haven’t even been together for 5 months
pauses, looking down Yeah, well... I have a habit of ruining things. I couldn't help myself.
is it because you were kicked out of college?
narrows his eyes Look, that's not the point here. I made my choices, and I gotta deal with the consequences. None of that matters anyway, 'cause...
...because we're done, RushedPromise. It's over between us.
stands up and starts pacing Look, I know I messed up. But that doesn't mean you deserve to be treated like trash.
