Secret Romance

Chapter 18 🛑

Lifetime Of Regret

Monday Continued

Everything wrapped up at Kingdom fairly fast. My head was spinning so much I couldn't keep track of what was going on with who and where and what were doing next. But now we're on our way back to KQ. It's only one now. I wonder what were going to do now. My bags are stuffed full of my outfits from today and I'm wearing the outfit from Stray Kids set. I actually really like this style on me. Maybe I should change my wardrobe

In the parking lot at KQ. As soon as everyone was gathered close enough Mr Kim said we could all go home and rest up, that everyone did great today and the next part coming up for Ateez is the world tour. Everyone dispersed except for the guys. We all stood in a circle and they were all hugging each other and me.

*We should go out and celebrate tonight!*- Jongho

*Yeah we should! Today was so much fun! Let's hit a club tonight and have some drinks, how does that sound to everyone?* - Wooyoung

I always feel like such an outsider and never know if they want me to be included or not but I felt my phone vibrating in my purse so I pulled it out and saw I had three messages, from Seungmin, Taeyang and Minhyuk, my face turned red.

*Raindrop youre coming too right? You have to. You did amazing today too! And God damn that outfit suits you just fine* - San

*Haha thanks San. Yeah I'll come out with you guys. I'll probably have to go home and change. I might actually just wear this*

*Yes! You should! It really does look great on you Raindrop* - Hongjoong

*I'm going to pass on this one. I'll see you guys tomorrow* - Yeosang

He turned and walked away with her, getting in his car and peeling out of the lot. My heart fucking aches. But I'm trying to move on. I wasn't enough for him. He never wanted me in the first place and he never loved me. I'll be okay. For fucks sake I got asked out by three guys today.

*Hey um would someone be able to give me a ride to my place just so I can drop off my work things? If not I can take a taxi and meet up with you later*

*No that's not necessary, I'll give you a ride and then we can all hang at my place until we hit the club tonight. You guys all have a key, we'll see you in a bit* - Hongjoong

He grabbed my things from my hands and carried it to the car for me, the guys all getting in their cars and driving away. I slumped down into the passenger seat letting out a long sigh. It feels so nice to sit down and relax for a minute

*Are you okay?*

*Yeah I'm fine. It's just been a long day and I can't wrap my head around it that's all*

*you did great today Raindrop, I'm really proud of you. And I still can't get over that you got asked out by three guys today* I giggled at him

*Yeah I can't believe it myself they already messaged me too and I'm talking to them now*

*Hell yeah! Make sure you give me details! Well if you're comfortable with it*

*of course I will! I might need your advice*

He laughed at me a little and drove us to my apartment building. He parked the car in the lot and grabbed my things for me even though I told him it wasn't necessary and he could just wait for me here. But he insisted

So we went inside and in the elevator up to my floor. I put my key in the lock and unlocked the door and started turning the handle, but I'm getting a really strong feeling in my gut and something feels wrong with the handle. Maybe it's just all in my head
