Valerie's POV

"Val.." I hear, basically an echo. My head is throbbing like crazy. "Valerie." I hear, this time clear. My eyes struggle to open. When my eyes finally adjust I see Ivan. I grunt. "Come back in five minutes." I say rolling over, then I wonder what he's doing in my room.

"Hey." I turn and look at him. "How'd you.." I see that the walls are a light powder blue instead of cream colored. I sit up, realizing this wasn't my room. "How did I end up in this bed?" I ask him. He sits on his bed across the room. "I put you there." He says. I then realize I'm on Taehyung's bed. I know because of the way the sheets smell. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Ivan says. I look at him.

"I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to spend the night or anything." I say trying to fix my horrible mane of a hair do. "No. Its okay. I don't mind that you're here." He shrugs. Realization hits me. "Where is Tae?" I ask. He shrugs again. "I haven't heard from him, he never showed up last night." He says. I become worried. "He didn't?" I ask. He shakes his head. "I was up all night.. I finished everything and I couldn't really sleep." He says, and now that I got a look at his face, he did look pretty exhausted.

"Was it cause I was here?" I ask. He shrugs. "I just couldn't sleep." I frown. "You shrug a lot." I say. He chuckles and shrugs, making me laugh. "So what should we do?" I ask. He stands up and walks over to his desk where small sized equipment sat. "Wow.. Is this it?" I ask. He nods. "Its not a lot. They're not big.. But they'll do the work." He explains.

"I also bugged this room. So this room is ready and all we need is your room." He says. "Speaking of my room, I should go so you can sleep." I ruffle his hair. He grins. "You sure?" He asks. I nod. I give him a small, unexpected hug before walking out. "Thanks for everything Ivan." I say. He just nodz quickly, reminding me of the first time I met him. I chuckle and walk out of his room.

My wonders about where Taehyung could possibly be, still stirred in my head. I wondered where he'd be, what he was doing.. And if he was with her. I'm pretty sure he'd be with her. He's so good at acting. Much sarcasm implied. I wondered if he'd remember last night. His words, the way he kissed me with so much feeling, the way he made me feel extremely weird... How he touched me.

I open the door, as I walk in I almost trip on something. I catch myself. I look down. Laurens heel. My eyes follow the mess on the floor. I'm not gonna lie, once I see Taehyung's shoes... My heart shatters. My eyes landing on the bed.

She's under his arm, cuddled up against him as his arm is wrapped around her. I feel my eyes watering. But its stupid, because I shouldn't be crying. I turn and close the door. I needed to get out, I can't be in the same building as them. Though I look slutty as fuck, I don't care. Maybe the only thing I cared about was my face, hair and breath. I crash into someone. I look up to apologize. "Val. I was gonna come and see you." Its Samantha. My tears fall. She frowns. "Come on." She wraps her arm around me and we walk to her dorm.

**

I walk out of the bathroom with some of her clothes on she let me borrow. "Are you gonna tell me what's wrong? I just watched you cry for half an hour." She says. I frown. "They slept together." I say. Her eyes widen in shock. "They did?" She asks. I nod. "That's what I saw when I went to my room..", "Awe Val... I'm so-" she stops short.

"Wait?" She pauses. "What?" I ask. She looks at me weird. "You went to your dorm last night.. How come you weren't already there?" She asks. I sit next to her on the bed. "Oh. I ran into Ivan " I say. She makes the creepiest face. "Whose Ivan?" I see where this is going. "Ivan is Taehyung's roommate. The one helping us out with this plan." I explain. She keeps the creepy look on her face.

"He's just a friend okay? He's nice." I say. She wiggles her eyebrows. "Wow. He's real generous to let you ... What?" She asks, her face dropping. "He walked me to my dorm building. I didn't want to be alone. We ended up going to his dorm room and-" ,"You hooked up." She interrupted excitedly. I smack her arm.

"No! We didn't." I exclaim. "He showed me his progress on the cameras. Shared a story with me.. And I fell asleep." I say. She nods. "Is he cute?" She asks. I look at her weird. "Why?" My nose wrinkles. "I'm just asking." That look growing on her face again. "Yeah. He's cute. And?" I cross my arms. She smiles. "Ding ding ding! You have a winner!" She says loudly. I look at her confused. "He'll help you forget about Taehyung." She says.

I bite my lip. But I didn't see Ivan the way I see Taehyung... Though I shouldn't even see Tae the way I do. "He's a friend Sam." I say. She shrugs. "I'm just trying to help you out. I don't like seeing you sad when you think of Tae." She says. Would I really get sad when I'd see Tae?

Taehyung's POV

I stretch in bed and slowly wake up. I feel something weird on my chest. I open my eyes and look down. My heart starts to pound like crazy.

Taehyung.. Please tell me you didn't! Please tell me. I become scared as my thoughts yell at me. There's only one way to check. I pull up the blanket at my waist. Yup. There it is. That thing. She wraps her leg around mine. Her thigh rubbing up against it. She pulls me closer, her clotheless body pressing against my side. I felt so disgusted of myself, and the bad part was... I can't remember what I did last night.

My head throbbed and I want to get out. This is what guys felt like when they had one night stands... I didn't like it. I turn my head realizing Val wasn't here. Thank God, I don't think she saw. How would I explain myself? Luckily she rolls over and I'm able to get out of the bed. I start to get dressed. "Tae?" She calls. I stop, standing up straight, letting the waist line of my boxers smack into place. "Yeah?" I ask.

"Where you going?" She sits up. I turn and look at her, forcing a smile. "No where.. Baby. I was just feeling uncomfortable naked." I blush walking back to her. She grins. "Awe Tae. Don't feel uncomfortable. Your body is beautiful." She says. I lay down next to her. "And I love being up against you." She bites her lip and leans in. I smile. "I love being against you too." I say.

"Last night was crazy, wasn't it?" She asks, her pink lips pecking my neck. Making me feel uncomfortable. "I honestly don't even remember what happened last night. I had a lot to drink." I confess. She chuckles. "Then we'll have to help you remember. Won't we?" She asks as she slips her hand down from my abs to inside of the covers. My breath hitches when her hand touches me. "L-Lauren.." I whisper. She smiles as she continues to kiss my neck.

**

I walk into my dorm. "Wow. There he is." I hear Ivan. I look at him, he's not even looking at me. "What's up man?" I ask walking over to my dresser. I really wanted to take a shower, and maybe drink some holy water. "Nothing.." He says. "How come you seem upset?" I ask. He shrugs. "You don't care about Val's feelings.. Do you?" He asks catching me off guard.

"Excuse me? Of course I care about her feelings." My eyebrows knitting. "And plus. Since when do you care?" I cross my arms over my chest. "She's my friend. And friends care for each other." He says. "What are you talking about? Are you referring this to us? Just because I didn't tell you where I was?" I ask.

"The fact that you think its okay to sleep with Lauren, is beyond fucked up Taehyung." He says looking down at the small camera's he's working on. "What the hell? Valerie told me to go along with what ever Lauren does. Even if its sex. Do you think I want to? I can't stand her." I say walking up to him. "You can at least cut me some slack. You're not in my shoes." He looks up at me. "You're the one who came up with the stupid plan anyways." He says. I bite my tongue.

"I care about her a lot Ivan. I'm crazy about her. And its stupid I'm doing this." I confess now thinking about it. "But you're doing it for her." He says quietly. I nod. "I gotta shower. I feel dirty." I say heading to the bathroom. We were left in silence.

Valerie's POV

I try my best not to think about it. "What are you gonna do when you see him?" Samantha asks. I bite my lip. "I really don't know." I whisper. "And I was trying not to think about it." I add. She frowns. "I'm sorry." She apologizes. I shake my head, "Its okay." I say. She hugs me. "We should go out and do something." She suggests.

I lean my head against her shoulder as I hug her back. "Do what?" I ask. "Let's go to the buffet and then we can figure it out." She says. I nod, my stomach growling. We get up off the bed. "Your roommate?" I ask. She shrugs. "She doesn't even come around anymore." She explains. I just nod, not putting much thought into it.

We walk to the buffet. "Val." I hear my name being called. I turn my head. I just stare at him. "Hi." He greets. My eyebrows knit. "What the fuck are you doing here? And why are you talking to me?" I ask. "Do you want to meet me at the buffet?" Samantha whispers in my ear. I nod and she walks off.

"Val.. I know I owe you an explanation." Anger roars inside me. "Explanation!? I don't want your shitty explanation! I don't care!" I feel my face heating up, my heart pounding in my ears. His eyebrows knit. "Valerie. What happened... I was stupid." He steps closer to me.

"You cheated on me! I don't want to talk to you Robert!" I push him. He grips my arms, "Don't raise your voice at me." He says dangerously close to my face. I try my best to push him off. "And don't you dare scream." He pulls me close to him. "Now. I heard that Chinese guy isn't into you anymore." I try my best to register what is going on.

"Its okay Valerie... You were supposed to be with me anyways." He kisses my head. I look up at him. "How do you know about Taehyung? Who, by the way, is Korean." I add. His face drops. "How did you know that I was going out with him?" I ask. His arm drops and he says nothing. "Tell me Robert." I demand. He bites his lip. "Look Val. I know people. Okay?" My eyebrows knit. "People who know me." I say. He shakes his head.

"Well.. They obviously know me if they are telling you about me." I catch on. "And they seem to be near by if you knew where I was." His jaw clinches. "I was on campus and I saw you." He says. "Honest." He adds with a serious face. "And about this person?" I ask. "I can't tell you that." He replies. I'm taken back. "Why not?" I become extremely curious about why he's acting this way. He's acting extremely weird.

"Val.. Please take me back. I'm a complete idiot. I was stupid to do think that it was okay to cheat on you.. And I've been thinking about you nonstop. I'm still in love with you." He says brushing my hair behind my ear. "Don't lie to me Robert. You know how you used to make me feel. You hurt me so bad... I couldn't trust another guy." My eyes water. "I hate you Robert.. I hate you.. You didn't even tell me what I did to deserve what you did to me." He frowns.

"But you'll never change." I push him away from me. "Never. I don't want you to come around me anymore." I turn and run off to the buffet, trying my best not to look like shit. Samantha flags me down and I walk over to her. Her face drops. "Are you okay? What happened? You looked like you were crying.. Who was that guy?" She asks. I shrug and sit down in front of her. "That was my ex.." Her face changes.

"Robert. That jack ass that cheated on you?" She looks mad. "If I would have known that was him, I would have kicked him in the balls for you." She says. I chuckle. "I should let you, he was talking out of his ass." I add. Her eyebrows knit. "What did he tell you?" I let out a breath. "A lot of stuff I'm still confused about and that he still loves me." I stare down at the table mindlessly at the thought.

"Really?" She asks. I nod. "But I know he's lying. I can't let him come into my life again." I look at her. She grins. "Good. You need to be strong. And I know you are." Her words make me smile. "I'm thankful I have you as a friend. I guess it took a fake person to meet the right friend." Her face lights up. "You're the best Val." She says.

I knew that Samantha was a great person. But the more I thought about friends, the more I thought about Lauren. I became more antsy thinking about what she was hiding, I wanted to know her big secret. It made me wonder if the answer was more obvious than I thought it was. That the answer was right in front of me.

I couldn't wait for all this to be over so that all this scandalist stuff can stop. But it seemed that Taehyung liked being with her, so much that he'd go as far as sleeping with her.

I've become a huge question mark. Everything in my life so far needs answers. What was Lauren hiding? Did Taehyung really like me? Or did he do this for another reason? Why did Robert come back?

All these questions stirred in my head, making me noxious. My stomach growls and I realize that I'm hungry. Samantha gets up and we head over to the numerous food carts.

Robert's POV

I couldn't stop thinking about her. This weekend I had seen my mom. I hadn't seen her for almost three years. So she had no idea Valerie and I were over. My mother asked for her, and when I told her what happened she legit smacked me across the face.

She actually started to cry, she told me I was turning out like my father. Becoming a womanizer, a cheater. I had been so caught up on the new and shitty life I had created for myself, that I didn't realize that I was the spitting image of my father. The man who left my mother and I when I barely reached my teenage years.

My mother had told me how good of a girl Valerie is, and it was a smack of realization. So after a long talk and other things, I decided to go talk to her. I wanted to let her know that I was sorry, in hopes I'd receive forgiveness. And I'd understand if I wouldn't.

And the way she almost cried in front of me, hurt me. Because after all that stupid shit I had myself involved in.. I've realized I'm still in love with Valerie. Lauren was a mistake, and every girl after her was a mistake. I hurt a girl that didn't deserve to be hurt, a girl that deserves nothing but love.

**
Taehyung's POV

I walk to the buffet. Ivan seemed pretty pissed with me, and it gave me the idea that Val had walked into the dorm this morning, and texted him about it.. They're getting closer.. And I didn't really like the idea of them becoming close friends. I knew she'd want answers, though I didn't have any.

I walk into the buffet and pay with my student card. It wasn't as packed as it usually is... Maybe everyone has a hangover and they stayed in their dorm. I don't get hangovers anymore. Not to get into depth with it.

My pupils dilate when I see Valerie. She's eating with a girl, she seemed familiar. Yes, I remember. She's the girl Val was walking with the day I got knocked out by some jerk and Lauren threw herself on me. I take a chance and walk up to them. "Hey." Is all I can say. She looks up at me, her beautiful deep brown eyes look into mine. Something was off.

She looks back down at her plate. "Hey." She says as she continues to eat. "Look. Val. I know you saw." She looks up at me, "And? That was a rule right?" She gives attitude. I yank on her wrist and pull her away from the people. We're in the hall way that led to the bathroom. I block her with my arms, she looked uneasy against the wall. I bite my lip.

"Look Val. What I told you last night was true." I say in a whisper. Her eyes widen and I get the idea she knows what I'm talking about. She says nothing. "I want you Val.. Every time I'm with her I pretend I'm with you." I can tell that her breathing is becoming uneasy. Her lips part. "Don't push me away.." I whisper as I lean in. "Because after this is all over.." I feel her breath against my lips. "I only want you." I press my lips against hers.

I feel her hands gripping my shirt, she wanted this. My lips only wanted hers, her soft, warm lips. I wrap my arms around her, bringing her small body against mine. I can kiss her all day, if I could. My lips falling to her neck, I can hear her jagged breathing in my ear. "T-tae.." She whispers. I slowly pull away, trying to control my urges. I look at her. "We can't." She says, my arms drop to my side.

My eyebrows knit in confusion. "Why not? I could feel it when you kiss me that you want this." I press my hands against the wall again. "Don't lie to yourself." I whisper. She bites her lip. I'm surprised when she grabs my face and kisses me. I knew it.. I'm about to wrap my arms around her again when she pulls away from me and walks back out the hallway. I almost fall against the wall, I luckily catch myself when I set my hand up.

I can still taste her on my lips, causing me to suck on them. So sweet. I hated that I couldn't have her. I put myself in this situation. This quickly needed to be over before I go crazy.

**
Roberts POV

She walks out of the dorm building and up to my car, opening the passenger door. "What do you want?" She asks. "Lauren.. I feel that I owe you an apology." She sits and closes the door. She looked at me confused.

"Excuse me? Did you just say apology? I didn't know you were capable of such thing." She chuckles. I grip the steering wheel "I'm not lying Lauren." I say. Her face drops. "Let me take you somewhere." I suggest. She pulls on the seatbelt, and it was a sign of an okay. I start up the car and we head out of the parking lot.

**
Ivan's POV

I witness Lauren get into a car with a other guy. Not long after the car pulls out of the parking space and drives out of the parking lot. I grab my phone and text Val, letting her know we can proceed with the plan.
