ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ 13: ꜰᴀᴋᴇ ɢɪʀʟꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ (ɢᴀᴊᴊᴀ ʏᴇᴏᴊᴀ ᴄʜɪɴɢᴜ)-가짜 여자 친구

Yi-Ahn

"Well, if you are really sorry, then do me a favor," he smirked at me, 

"You have to act to be my girlfriend for a while."

"Why?" I rolled my eyes.

"You see, I need to shove off some silly girl." he shrugged.

"So, you need my help to dump your girlfriend. Alright, got it." I said mockingly as I looked directly into his eyes, resting my hands on my waist.

I've seen plenty of dramas and a lot of mangas with this same scene. It was not anything unfamiliar to me. A rich guy getting bored of his girlfriend is a common topic and hiring a fake girlfriend to dump her is even more common.

"Nice! You're pretty fast at getting things, I see," he smirked before pulling me by my arm and heading toward the door. He dragged me out without even asking if I agree or not and now I was already in it with him. 

"Then, let the show begin."

I could sense the excitement in his voice as well as the spark in his eyes that indicated profound danger. And... danger is the only thing that attracts me.

He dragged me with him to the living room, intertwining our hands, where that lady from before was sitting uncomfortably, fidgeting her hands. Her face went white as a sheet upon seeing me as if she had seen a ghost. She looked down at our intertwined hands and she winched in pain closing her eyes right after.

"Come, sit, baby" I shivered at his sudden sweet tone, but thankfully Sung Rin couldn't see it (If I've got the name right...), and before I could even realize it, suddenly I was sitting in his lap. I froze at my place at the sudden closeness. 

Dmnit! He didn't even give me time to restrict physical contact. 

He wrapped one of his arms around my waist and bought his other one over mine and squeezed my hands which suddenly brought me back to reality.

Focus, Yi-Ahn. It's not time to think about those things. Focus on your work. Act like a real girlfriend, and be comfortable! It's not a big deal.

I looked back and smiled at him trying to look as much comfortable as possible, though deep down, I was planning different ways to kill him for making me sit in a position like this.

"Nice to meet you. Though we've already met before, still I'm Lee Yi-Ahn," I smiled at her brightly making sure to highlight that I was not so pleased about our first encounter. 

Well, if I am to tell the truth, the reason why I agreed to do this for that punk is that I have nowhere to go. And if I manage to do a good job as his fake girlfriend, I may ask him to let me stay. I could take advantage of this opportunity, so I was not doing it just because he asked me to, I was doing it because of me. That's why I must be good.

"Who is this?" she asked to Jungkook as if I was completely invisible to her.

This girl is too innocent and fragile, not understanding who would dare to sit on her boyfriend's lap other than someone who he's cheating her with. I pitied her, poor girl.

She must be feeling those things I felt a couple of days ago. She must be blaming herself for creating this situation where there was nothing she could do about it. The one to blame in this situation was me. And I feel worse for her because I know how hard it is to see the one you loved for ages with someone else, someone other than you, someone new.

I hated myself for letting her see me in this form. It disgusted me. In her whole life, she'd never be able to forgive me and accept me frankly. Still, I am sitting here making a bad memory in her life or maybe the worst one.

I am really sorry.

I looked at her and apologized in my mind. I can't help it even though I hated it so much.

Sometimes we do things that even we ourselves despise. Human beings are such complicated creatures. 

"She's the one for whom I feel those feelings and the only one who shows me the light," he answered bluntly hugging me from behind while I kept a happy face.

It was not that hard for me, I am an expert in hiding my true feelings. But, really... I cringed at how he sounded.

 He could've just said that I am his girlfriend... I see, he's playing safe for if we were to get caught he'd just say that he never addressed me as his girlfriend. What a sly guy!

"She's the 'someone else' that I mentioned," he added.

"Jeon Jungkook," I was shocked at how broken her voice sounded. She was tearing up but was good at controlling them till now. (unlike me, heh...)

"If you are trying to do this to ditch me, then please forget it. If you need more time to think then take it. I am not pressuring you to get married right away. But, right now, telling those lies, you really are hurting me. Both you and I know that there can be only one pair feeling it for each other. Only two destinated people can see the other's light. Can she even see yours? I feel it for you and so you must feel it for me too sooner or later. That's fate, you can't deny it." She added and it sounded a bit confusing.

It was funny how she was obsessed with him so much that she thought he must love her back if she has feelings for him.

Even I was not this obsessed with the one I broke up a few days ago. Or maybe I was.

"It's not required for him to love you back just because you have feelings for him," I couldn't stop myself from replying sassily.

"And I'd like you to stay out of our business," she glared at me before looking back at Jungkook again.

"As if," I murmured, rolling my eyes.

Jungkook, this time opened his mouth to defend me, and trust me if he was not acting right now, I'd be moved by his sweet tongue

"If you know me, Sung Rin, then you must know it too that I won't waste my time with just any girl. I don't know why I am explaining this all to you, but please think with logic. I could just turn down your father without making a scene. But I couldn't because I needed his help and the only condition he agreed to do so was for me to marry you. But, you see, I'm not the person to play with two girls' minds. So, I'm using this opportunity to let you know that my heart belongs to someone else. So, even if you are to marry me, you can never be happy with me. I don't know how this happened, but it indeed is true. So, please accept it the way it is."

A tear rolled down her eyes. But, that bastard didn't stop, he kept digging whole into her heart, "I know after going back, you'd probably tell your father to break off everything with Jeon Corporation. But believe me, I'm not blaming you and I don't regret it too. I'd just feel too guilty to hide everything from you. So, it is not possible for me to use you. Please forgive me for that."

Tears kept falling one by one from her eyes. She grabbed her mouth, sniffing and breathing very fast. But, still, it was not enough to stop him. "I don't know why you agreed with this marriage contract. And I really don't know how you can have feelings for me when undoubtedly I don't feel anything for you. So, I hope that you and your father stop this nonsense. Even if your father refuses to make the deal with Jeon Corporation and my company goes bankrupt, I will never in a million lifetime agree to marry you. I am not enamored with you. So, move forward an-"

"Stop it." I half yelled as the memories of a few days ago covered my head, still hurting me badly. I was straggling to hold back my tears as I remembered his last words and it kept repeating in my head nonstop.

Not long after the words left my mouth, Sung Rin ran off to the door and slammed it out before leaving.

Seeing her leave, I jumped off him and rushed to the door but he grabbed me by my arm. "What do you think you are doing?" He yelled.

And finally, the tears I was holding back so hard started falling one after another. I just looked him in the eyes as the teardrops fell down my cheeks before running upstairs and slamming the door behind me as I entered the room.

I sat there crying nonstop hugging my knees as my back rested on the door. It was too much for me to take. Those scenes revealing one after another hurt like hell. It felt as if someone was re-opening the scars on my heart and stabbing there until they bleed enough to turn the blue ocean red.

Some sweet-sour memories unfolded before my eyes as I kept crying. The memories of the day I first met him.

I really did hope to be happy with him. He was the only weak spot I had in my life. And now that he is not here anymore, I wonder if it is good or bad...

I wonder how he is doing. Does he even miss me?

"I'm sorry. I am so sorry!" I mumbled between my tears.

"I shouldn't have done that." I cried helplessly. I cried and screamed and begged her to forgive me. But she wasn't here to listen to any of my regrets.

I shouldn't have done it. I was being selfish. I should've denied to act as his girlfriend. It's all my fault. Next time we meet, I'd tell her everything and apologize to her.

I somehow dragged myself into the washroom and washed my face, in an attempt to calm myself down. I took a deep breath and headed toward the room across the hall.

I knocked at his door, waiting for a response.

I few seconds passed and then with a click sound, he opened the door.

"What do you want?" he said with his usual cold tone. Wow, like really wow. I've never before seen any guy who'd just walk out without saying anything after seeing a girl cry and then pretend like nothing ever happened.

I wonder what made Sung Rin like someone like him. Well... It's none of my business.

"I have something to tell you." I managed to say without sounding annoyed.

"Well... That's what I am asking. What do you want?" I don't know why he is sounding offended when I should be the one offended here.

"I can't do it. The fake girlfriend thing. I've had enough of it. And-"

He cut me off before I could finish, "I know. You are not fit for the role. Your acting is horrible and you've got a bad temper. And what was the change of mood-"

So I decided to do the same, cut him off before he could ask anything about why I was suddenly crying. Cause he is the last person on earth with whom I wanna share my personal life.

"And... I'm gonna tell Sung Rin Everything." I stopped.

And it became suddenly quieter. He was searching in my eyes for any jokes, but when he realized that I was being serious, he grunted and stepped inside his room, and grabbed his neck from behind with both hands.

He sighed and his hands moved frustratedly over his face, "You got to be kidding me, Yian? Do you think I am a joke?"

Well, I messed up. He is really pissed off right now.
