The 500th Journey Chapter 11 Five Hundred Tickets, One Final Goodbye
I lowered my gaze to the familiar metal tin, now badly dented out of shape. Then, my eyes fell on Marcus' hands, covered in tiny cuts from digging through the trash.If this had been a year ago, I probably would have cried from heartbreak if I'd seen him in such a state. I might even have forgotten all about the promise of 500 tickets and agreed to marry him right then and there.But now, my heart didn't even stutter at the sight."Marcus, I've counted them. The first 280 at the bottom were the tickets you saved during freshman year, when you would come to visit me every few days. During the second year, we took turns traveling to see each other, saving another 120. "On our third, you told me you had taken on a new project and were too busy. Even then, I was still willing to help us collect another 60."Marcus stiffened with each word. It seemed he finally realized what I was getting at, and the panic in his eyes slowly grew."But that last year…" I trailed off, looking him
The 500th Journey Chapter 10 Will You Marry Me?
Marcus began searching for me like a man possessed. He quit the internship he had worked so hard to secure as a permanent position and bought a plane ticket to my hometown.I had never bothered to hide my whereabouts, so he found me easily enough. Still, he no longer dared to approach me. Instead, he followed me from a distance.He began desperately recalling everything I'd liked over the past four years, trying to recreate those moments with his clumsy attempts to please me. He wanted the Yvette who had once looked at him as though he were her entire world back.I would often notice a familiar figure at the cafe downstairs or outside the convenience store in my neighborhood. Soon, an umbrella would inexplicably appear on my desk on rainy days. Whenever I worked late into the night, the security guard downstairs would hand me a pot of loaded baked potato soup. This time, there wasn't a single chive in it.However, I never accepted any of his gestures.Eventually, Marcus
The 500th Journey Chapter 9 The Only One I Loved
Marcus locked himself inside the apartment and didn't step outside for an entire week. When Jane finally found him, the whole place reeked of cigarette smoke, with empty liquor bottles scattered across the floor.Marcus sat dejectedly in the corner of the sofa, his hand tightly clutching the pull tab from the soda can I had thrown into the trash.Jane's eyes were red-rimmed as she walked over, heartbroken. She tried to take the bottle from his hand as she pleaded, "Marcus, please. Stop doing this to yourself."Finally, she threw her arms around him with a loud sob. "Yvette is gone, but you still have me! "I've always liked you. I've liked you since the very first day I joined the club. Everything Yvette could do for you, I can do too. I'll learn how to cook, how to take care of the house…" I'll be more obedient and easier to please than she was. I'll treat you better than she ever did…"Her confession was sincere and passionate. Unfortunately, Marcus only felt as though a
The 500th Journey Chapter 8 He Finally Understood
When I returned to school, the first thing I did was withdraw my application to the magazine I had been planning to join.My counselor was surprised and asked me several times to make sure that I was serious about it. "Yvette, you fought tooth and nail to get this offer! Didn't you say the magazine was conveniently close to your boyfriend's company? Why the sudden change of heart?"I handed them the signed withdrawal statement, my voice calm. "Because I don't need it anymore."Once I stepped out of their office, I took out my phone and blocked Marcus on every platform—WhatsApp, his phone number, Messenger… I even removed the family-linked account on Venmo. Then, I went through my social media and deleted every trace of him.Six years we'd been together. We'd been dating from high school to university… That was more than 2,000 days and nights filled with happiness, anger, laughter, and tears. Yet, all it took was a few taps of my fingers to make all of it disappear.Actuall
The 500th Journey Chapter 7 Marcus, I Don't Want You Anymore
Before I realized what had happened, I found myself standing in front of them. Marcus' smile vanished when he saw me, replaced by unmistakable panic, and he jerked his arm out of Jane's grasp as though he had been shocked."Evie… what are you doing here?" he stammered, instinctively taking a step toward me.Jane's mother looked at me with some confusion before turning to her daughter. "Jane, who's this?"Jane's expression changed slightly before she quickly put on an innocent smile. "Mom, this is Marcus' older sister."Sister?I let out a cold laugh and turned to look at Marcus. He didn't correct her.After a two-second hesitation, he looked at me with an almost pleading expression and silently mouthed, "We're just pretending."Hah! Just pretending? Please.I looked at the man I had loved for six years and suddenly couldn't help but chuckle."That's right. I'm his sister," I affirmed, and then handed our 500th, and last, train ticket to Marcus."I came to give you a graduatio
The 500th Journey Chapter 6 The Promise He Gave Away
That afternoon, I changed into ordinary clothes and still went to Marcus' graduation ceremony, all to give him, myself, and our relationship some kind of closure.We had made a promise on the very first day of freshman year. We vowed that Marcus would wear his cap and gown, hand me a bouquet, and take our very first graduation photo together when we graduated.The June sun was scorching.I stood beneath the shade of a tree, my stomach twisting with wave after wave of pain. I had barely eaten anything the entire day before. Then, I had spent the night exposed to the cold wind. I hadn't been able to stomach the soup that morning, either. So, it was really inevitable that my stomach problems would flare up.Cold sweat trickled down my forehead. I pressed a hand tightly against my abdomen, forcing myself to stay upright.Marcus still hadn't appeared even after nearly an hour, so I took out my phone and called him.It rang for a long time before he finally answered. "Evie, I'm swa
