The Show Must Go On

"Can you unfold the blanket?"

I lazily went outside of his car and followed him, walking up to the hill. It's midnight and we're still here outside. It's cold, it's windy. It's not my favorite weather.

He gave me the stripes blanket so I could unfold it on the ground. He placed the basket I saw on the backseat earlier. He did prepare, huh? For what tho?

"why do you want this?" I asked while staring at him opening the basket and putting the food carefully on the blanket.

"what do you mean?"

"you could've just denied the rumor about your tattoo girl, but you chose to be in this situation." I explained.

He sighed and sat on the blanket. I sat on the edge too, keeping our distance.

"I couldn't deny it." he answered that added too much confusion.

"I like her."

My lips parted because of his sudden confession. I mean, I didn't expect him to confess to me, were not close. We just talked.

I knew it. You never act sweet to someone you doesn't like, even if you're friends, or close friends.

"I don't want people to throw hates on her. And she doesn't deserve it. I will never forgive myself if she'll be hurt by our fans."

My lips were pressed together  as he said that. He doesn't want hates to be thrown at her. But, what if the fans didn't like the idea of me, dating him? But the company pushed it?

I don't like what I am thinking. I think that he rather choose to hurt me, because he like that girl.

I don't care about his feelings toward her. He's taking advantage of me, while I'm adjusting so I could play this role.

That's what love can do, huh?

I can't imagine myself sacrificing just to make someone stay, or be happy.

"does she like you too?" I asked and for the first time. My eyes laid at the view in front of us.

The cold wind blew to my skin, making my hair dance with it.

"No."

Its a short answer but I can feel the pain in his voice.

"her loss right? She has no feelings towards Jeon Jungkook, the famous member of a famous band in the whole world." he smiled and looked down.

I shook my head and laid on my back. I just realized that there's a big tree here, serving as a shed. The sky was full of stars, acoomonying the lonely moon.

It's very relaxing. I want to sleep.

"I doubt that she has no feelings for you." I said while my eyes were close, Feeling the wind.

"how.. I mean, why did you say that? To comfort me? You don't have to." he replied

"she let you hugged her from behind, which is awkward if you're just really friends. Maybe she's just afraid to risk and fall for someone who has a soaring career, while she's just.. there."

I've never been in love. But I can say that, love change. One day, people fall in love then suddenly, it faded.

For two reasons.

They found someone else or they're just tired of being in a relationship and needed a break.

"I don't want to assume anything from her."

I didn't reply. I just closed my eyes. I can't hear anything but the cold wind, the rustling of dry leaves.

"it it possible to be in a relationship with your friend?" he asked
