"Y/n, we need to talk." Jungwon said as he turned to look at me.

"About what?" I asked.

"You know what." He started as he sat beside me on the bed. "We haven't really talked much except during work."

"I know, I'm sorry. I've just been so busy with school and practice." He took my hand in his and set them on his lap.

"What are we?" He asked. The question seemed unreal because I thought that type of question only existed in movies. My mind has been all over the place. I like Jungwon, a lot. He's so sweet and has the prettiest smile. He made me feel happy when I'm with him. But at the same time, I was a mess.

"Well, what do you think?" I looked into his eyes.

"Y/n, I really like you. Like a lot, and I want to spend more time with you." He said, now holding both of my hands in his.

"Jungwon, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm kind of a mess right now and a relationship is not something I need at the moment." I removed my hands from his. "I know I said I liked you too, but, I need some time. Okay?"

Everything is not the same anymore. I can barely recognize myself half of the time. I mean, I'm going to parties every week.

He paused for a while. I felt horrible inside. It made me want to disappear from the Earth.

"Okay." He finally spoke. "If that's what you need. But y/n," he continued. "I'll always be here for you." He tried to smile softly.

"I'm sorry. I really am." I looked him in the eyes.

The door suddenly opened and I quickly stood up.

"Y/n, are you dating this guy?!" Jay asked in a slightly yelling tone.

"What guy?"

"Jungwon." He said. I looked at him confused. How would he know so fast?

Jay pulled his phone out and showed us a picture.

"What the fuck is that?" I asked him.

"Both of you kissing at the bar."

I turned to look at Jungwon and he looked just as confused as I was. I walked past Jay into the living room. Everyone was looking at their phones and talking to each other. I grabbed Sunghoon's phone and it was the same picture.

"Why does everyone have this?" I asked him.

"The real question is, why were you two kissing?" Sunghoon said. Everyone was staring at me at this point. Jay and Jungwon came out of the room and stood behind me.

"Are you guys dating?" Niki asked.

"I didn't know you had a boyfriend. Why didn't you tell us?" Jake asked. I stood there in silence. Heeseung suddenly got up and looked at me in disbelief.

"Heeseung, wait-" I tried to stop him, but he walked out fast. My heart sunk as the lie I told him got out. Jungwon ran after him.

"Someone's mad." Minji laughed.

"Did y/n play with someone's feelings?" She and her friends laughed some more. I started tearing up.

"Guys stop." Jake said.

"Are you okay y/n?" Sunoo asked.

I looked at him. "Where did you get that photo?" There was silence.

"I did." I looked to see Harin stand up.

She walked towards me with a smirk on her face. "I don't know who you think you are to be playing around with Jungwon, but I knew him way before you did." She said, placing her pointing finger at my chest.

"So what?" I asked.

"I like him. And I want you to stay away from him." She said. This wasn't the Harin I first met. Her gaze was cold.

"He doesn't need a slut like you following him around like a lost puppy." She continued.

"The fuck did you just call her?" Jay said, stepping in front of me. I couldn't take her anymore. I turned and walked out of the room.

Jake's pov:

"Harin, what the fuck was that?" I said after y/n ran out.

"What? Just playing around. No different than you." She said with an attitude, sitting down on the couch.

"The fuck you just say?" I said standing up. Niki put his arm on my chest to prevent me from wanting to punch her.

"Relax, Jake." Sunghoon said, taking a sip of his drink.

"Im just saying. You're a player too, it's no different." She said.

"Y/n is not a player. You're delusional." I said as I walked out to find y/n.

Y/n's pov:

"Heeseung, wait!" I yelled as he walked out of the house. "Please, stop. Can we talk?" I reached for his arm and he shrugged it off to finally look at me.

"You lied to me, y/n. You fucking lied to me." He said. "You promised me that nothing was going on between you two but then I see a picture of you guys all over each other."

"Heeseung, stop." I pleaded. Water filled my eyes. "It's not like that!"

"Oh well, the picture says otherwise, y/n. You could have told me. But you decided to lie. What kind of person does that?" He scoffed at me.

"Why does it matter to you so much?!" I finally broke. Tears streamed down my cheeks. "You're always asking me about Jungwon and telling me that I shouldn't be around him. Why does it matter?"

"Because I like you!" He yelled.

I stood in silence.

"I like you so much that it drives me crazy. It drives me crazy when you're with some other guy." He continued. "Tell me we weren't just friends. I know you, y/n. You don't act like how you're with me with just anyone."

I didn't say anything. I just stared at him. The cold wind made my tears on my face start to dry up. He sighed and turned around. He walked to his car and drove away.

I stood still, processing what he had just told me. Heeseung liked me the whole time and I never knew the slightest bit. I feel stupid to the core.
