"I should probably go..." I stood but he grabbed my hand before I even go. My heart started beating like crazy. What the hell is happening? Is Kiel's plan working? Probably no.

"Are you drunk?" He asked scanning my state. I sat down back at the sofa.

"No. I'm not." He is still holding my hand. Why is he still holding it? I'm going crazy over it.

"Do you usually kiss each other everywhere?" My jaw dropped when he asked me that. I don't know what to even say. We looked at each other as he hold my hand tighter.

I can't even looked at him straight in the eyes after knowing about what really happened between us. And now why is he holding my hand?

"No." I chuckled nervously. I just chuckled to make the atmosphere lighter. It's too quiet and a little bit serious. I should probably need to change the topic.

"Uh...by the way, where is Giselle?" I changed the subject and looked at our hands together.

"Just curious, I haven't seen her." I added while he is just quiet. Then he looked at me, "I don't know. Why would I care? We're not even that close."

"Hmm...okay." I tried not to smile because that's absurd. I don't why but him being not close to Giselle makes me so happy.

What am I, a child? Oh my gosh, I cannot believe that I am happy because of that tiny fact. This is so awkward. He is not usually like this. We usually just talk when it's about work but now, he asks questions about me.

He finally remember to let go of my hand.

"Are you...are you two together now?" He asked again while looking at me. The way he stares at me made me feel so conscious. He is so close to me. Should I answer it? I don't even know what to answer.

Is he...is he jealous?

"No...uhm we're just friends." Should I pretend that Kiel and I we're together? Oh my gosh. Did I just screwed Kiel's plan? I should've said we're together. What is even the mission of the plan? To make Jughead jealous? What kind of jealousy? To make us talk? How can I even consider if it's fail or success? Crap, I should have listened to Kiel.

I am going insane. How to escape this kind of conversation? I tried distracting myself by drinking. I drank a shot of tequila again. Whatever, I don't need a plan I'll just leave later.

"Friends? Fuck. Stop lying. Friends don't sleep together." He scoffed at me and I just looked at him in disbelief.

"Hey! Your mind is so green." I said to him jokingly and pushed him a little. Trying to be friendly to him. Why am I suddenly being playful?

"I'm not even kidding." He said as he looked at me seriously. "You two didn't even want to hide your relationship. It's all over the internet."

Did he see the pictures in the internet? He probably just saw it in his newsfeed or what. I don't know what to feel. I feel like he still kinda cares about me but only as friend, I guess. I started filling the shot glass tequila again but before I even shot it, he stopped me.

"Can you fucking stop drinking? You know you always do crazy things when you are drunk so...you almost went in the room with that asshole." He brushed his hair using his hands.

"Are you lecturing me?" I asked but he didn't even answer and proceed to asking me more qustions.

"Are you friends with benefits?" He asked me and I almost laughed but I stopped myself from bursting. Wow...Eugene Kiel is a good actor he really made Jugehad believe we're together.
