What scared me the most was that I could no longer tell if we were still playing games or if he was telling me the truth. Part of me wanted to believe that he was feeling horny and needed to use me to get it off like he always did, but the naive side of me wanted to believe him, that he actually waited for me.

But my heart dropped when a twisted grin pulled at the edge of his lips. "Was that believable enough?"

His grip tightened around me while his lips hovered mine. "If you don't give me an answer, then I won't know if I'm a good liar."

His minty breath sent chills down my spine. I smiled, my brows raising as I looked at him, seeing my own reflection in his clear, blue eyes.

Desperate, pathetic, needy.

"Fuck you," I whispered in a hurt tone and he laughed, pinning both hands behind my back with a single grip as he examined my face as if I was some kind of toy to him.

"I wish I could tie you up so you'd never leave my side," he whispered against my skin, his bitterly sweet words making my eyes widen. "I want you to be mine forever, mine only."

A grim smile pulled at my lips. I stared back boldly into his eyes, rolling a lie of my own off my tongue. "And I wish you'd die, but we can't all have what we want, can we?"

He blinked before laughing such a beautiful laugh, it almost made me feel embarrassed. He pulled be closer towards him, our lips only inches apart.

"Then kill me," he dared in a dangerously low tone.

I barely registered the heat of his mouth pressed against mine until he pushed me to the ground, a sharp pain jolting up my back from the fall. Jax's grabbed a handful of my hair, forcing my neck back as he kissed down my collarbone. My heart accelerated, his strong thighs crushing my waist while he squeezed my chest so tightly that I could hardly breathe.

"Jax," I gasped.

I bit my lip, feeling a desperate ache in my lower stomach. But right as things were heating up, he stopped. Jax pulled away with that domineering grin of his, gently caressing my cheek.

"Too bad we won't be able to do it tonight," he smiled.

"Where are you going?" I frowned.

"I'm taking my girlfriend out for dinner tonight and I don't want any marks."

My lips parted in shock, feeling almost betrayed despite the fact that he made no promises to me. He got off of me and ran a hand through his blond hair.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I asked, sitting up in frustration.

Damn it, he was messing with my head again.

"It's called being straight, something you'll never know," he chimed, walking past the table with the dinner that I bought for the both of us. He went to his room, closing the door behind him. I swore under my breath, plopping onto my back in frustration. My mind was fuming with anger but my heart ached miserably, hurt more than anything.

The doorbell rang and I looked up. Hesitant at first, I went to the door and opened it. There was a beautiful, tall girl with dark hair and hazel eyes. Her ivory skin looked flawless, patted down with a thin layer of make-up. She wore a simple, but elegant black dress, that brought our her slight curves.

She was beautiful, and anyone could tell just by looking at her that she was a model.

"Oh, did I get the wrong house?" She asked, breaking the silence. "I'm looking for Jax."

I realised that I was staring, envious of how she looked, and shifted my gaze to the side.

"No, you have the right house," I said in a small voice. "Jax will be out in a second."

"Are you his friend?" She asked with a polite smile, giving out her hand.

"Not exactly," I chuckled sheepishly. I was surprised by how thin her wrists were and how frail her fingers looked. With a body like that, Jax would probably have a hard time trying not to break her in bed.

I pushed my thoughts away and shook her hand. "I'm Ji Hoon, his... His roommate."

"He didn't tell me that he had a roommate," she gasped, her words pierced through me like a spear. "Well, it's nice to meet you Ji Hoon. I'm his girlfriend, Madison, but you can call me Maddy."

Dang it, I can't even hate her because she pronounced my name right.

She looked so kind and seemed so sweet, I felt guilty for harboring an unjustifiable bitterness towards her.

"It's nice to meet you," I had to choke out the words. Jax finally came out of his room, dressed in a nice navy blue shirt and his favorite pair of pants.

"Jax!" Exclaimed Madison with a bright smile.

"Sorry for the wait," he apologized, wrapping a hand around Madison's nonexistent waist and pulling her towards him, kissing her right in front of me. I scowled, quickly looking away, jealous but also feeling bad for her.

Jax always put on a mask, pretending to act like the nice guy in front of others when really, he was probably thinking of all the ways to get another woman in bed with him. He had a shitty personality, but showed none of it, playing the perfect, ideal boyfriend in front of others. He was just too good of a liar for anyone to find out.

"Stop, your roommate is still here," I heard her giggle, teasingly hitting Jax's chest.

"It's fine, he doesn't care," he shrugged, kissing her again. This time she didn't resist.

"Okay, I'm just going to go back into my room now," I grumbled, sliding past them.

"Hey, Ji Hoon," called Jax. I turned towards him and couldn't help but frown. They both looked like a real couple standing like that, and they looked undeniably beautiful together.

"It's called being straight, something you'll never know," his scarring words echoed in my mind.

"I won't be home tonight, so don't wait for me. You won't be going anywhere, right?" He asked with a condescending smile that looked almost threatening. My fists tightened at my sides, my chest throbbing in pain. I swallowed thickly, putting on a polite smile in front of his girlfriend.

We probably looked like normal roommates to her eyes.

"Right," I answered, the word grating through my throat like sandpaper. Jax bit his lip as if he was trying not to smile any wider.

Jax 2, Ji Hoon 0.

Without sparing me one last glance, he closed the door behind them and I was left alone in the now empty house.
