The Bet

Breaking

"You shouldn't have fought them, stupid." Taehyung, my best friend, pinched my sides.

"You should've stopped them for me, idiot." I flinched.

Taehyung's gaze lowered. He looked sad.

"H-hey..I was just joking..sorry."

"Yeon Hee..What if somebody courts you, and tells you sincerely, that he loves you?" He asked.
"I'll date him." I smiled.

His face started to crumple with worry.

"Hey, look I'm so sorry. I'm sorry because I wasn't able to protect you, as your best friend." He sighed.

I was about to speak up, when Jungkook approached us.

Taehyung glared at Jungkook.

"Hey, Yeon Hee. Mind eating with me?" Jungkook invited.
"No."

He smirked, stood up on the cafeteria's table, calling everyone's attention.

"To all students of Seoul Performing Arts High School, I, hereby pronounce that the school's two groups, Bulletproof boys, us..and their group.." He pointed at me.

"Will no longer fight, and instead collaborate. School, peace is back again, so go back to eating your crappy food." He sassily went down the table and held my hand.

"Now, shall we?" He smiled, many people looked at us, I feel pressured.

"Fine." I saw Taehyung facepalm himself.

As we walked away, many people screamed in delight as they saw us holding hands. "JungHee! JungHee! JungHee!!"

"What the hell?!"

"I find it cute. They merged our names together! Cute, isn't it?" He smiled.

"It's not." I shortly replied.

He took his car keys and opened the door for me. "Miss?" He smiled, again.

I feel eerie about this. But, boohoo, I just went inside.

"What do you wanna eat?" He asked as he drove us off.

"Food."

He laughed, he's totally strange.

"Fine, I'll pick our place then."

I read the cafe's huge sign, "C'est La Vie Cafe'

"Hey." I tugged his sleeve.

"Hmm?" Woaahh there! Gawd. He smiled again! I feel like a potato beside a big bowl of imported grapes.

"Aren't you gonna order yet?" He gasped, "Oh, right."

As soon as he left for the counter, I found myself lost in thoughts.

Why is he acting all flirty?
Isn't he my mortal enemy?

and worse,

Does he like me?" I choked up on the water as I thought.

"Hey there, stop downing the water, you're choking!" Jungkook ran to my side and wiped the goo I mean water around my face.

Something's going on here.

"Hey--"
"Aren't you sick of saying just 'Hey'?"
"I'm not." He flashed a smile, a smile so bright I'm gonna get blind.

"Why so?"
"Because you're pretty." He smiled, much better than the last one.

This is insane. Sick. Crazy. I just can't believe I just blushed.

"Calm down Ms. Tomato! Woah there!" He giggled.

"There's no connection with that." I replied coldly.

"But we do! You're pretty, I'm handsome! We're meant to be!" He tried to pick up some cheesy lines.

"Shut up. So, what do you want?" I changed the topic.

-----------------

I can't believe I'm doing this. It hurts to flirt with her. I feel like destroying her innocence. You're so stupid, Jeon Jungkook.

What if she really falls for me just like that? What should I do?

-----------------

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"Please be my girlfriend." He repeated.

"What the hell, Jeon Jungkook?!"

"Look, I did everything. I had our war aborted. I gave up my whole pride just for you." He pleaded.

"No. I never asked you to. Okay? We're done here. I don't want to see you anymore." I stood up.

He didn't react. I walked out. I left, leaving him.

I had been suffering from family problems, now he's gonna add up? No shit, Jungkook.

"Yeon Hee.." He called out as he tried to catch up with my pace.

"You won't be able to run away from me..You're mine." His voice crept me out. What a creep.

I fished for my phone and called Taehyung.

"Taehyung.."
[Did he.. umm, you know? Did he ask you out?]
"Do you..by chance..aware of what's he's scheming? Goodness gracious. His words scare the hell out of me."
[H-huh? Me? N-no! Certainly! No!]

"You're wei--"

My phone call got cut off as another line came up.

"Hello? Who's this?"

[Yeon Hee? Sweetheart?] My dad.
"Don't 'Sweetheart' me, Dad. Tell me what you've gotta say, There's somebody else on the line."
[I'm leaving for HongKong today. You can stay at Mom, your brother is staying over too.]

Oh. Yeah. My dad got remarried since last year. I never had a single glance of my new mom, nor my 'brother'.

"Me? Are you f*cking kidding me? Go to hell." I cursed.

[I shut the house down, I cut your credit card and..took away your car. I also sent your luggage there so enjoy your vacation, Dear. I'm off!] Then, he hung up.

"WHAT YOU GEEZER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

OH MY GAWD. I CAN'T..I CA--

My cab got blocked with a bunch of cars, I'm guessing it's my dad. Yep. It's his.

Suddenly, I got dragged by one of my dad's bodyguards. Cool. Dad. Real Cool.

I hurriedly contacted Taehyung again.

"KIM TAEHYUNG!!"

[Seo Yeon Hee?! What's happening??]
"I'm being kidnapped here!! AAAHHHH!!!" I screamed. I'll do everything, I don't want to stay with those wenches! No!

As soon as I had expected, I finally stepped on the Jeon's ground. No way.

I hesitantly lifted my fists, of course to knock, not knock both of them down, knock the door, k?

"Omo. Welcome home, Yeon Hee!" The foxy b*tch greets me.

"Hello, mo..mother." I giggled.

"Waahh..my daughter has grown prettier.." She touched my hair.

Who the hell do you think you are?

"Hmm? You were saying something, Honey?"
"I didn't say anything, Mother." I smiled.

"Wanna see your brother?" She offered.

"Yes, mother."

I wished I should've never agreed on it.
