Beautiful Lies

Chapter 3

"Holy shit..."

That was the first word Kai said after our extremely awkward walk which was only from my room to the parking lot. Kai placed his hand along my car hood. Then he took a walk around my car, taking every inch of my car with exclaims of 'wow'.

"You got a nice car here," Kai looked at me with that smile again.

As much as it affected me before, I just simply nodded this time. Seeing him like this reminded me of this morning when my brother, Daesung gave me the most memorable present in my life. Since I was young, I always told Daesung that I wanted to ride my grandpa's car, 1967 Camaro SS. I never thought that Daesung would really make my dream came true. He felt sorry that he couldn't send me to the college because of his work. Therefore, he bought this dream car of mine to make me happy. Thank you, oppa.

"Minzy I never knew you are the type of girl who drives badass car,"

"Do you even know me?"

"No... but I am planning to get to know you better,"

I knew that I should draw a line between right now. This was dangerous but I didn't care about it. Even I wasn't fully recover from my past broken heart experience, I wouldn't let this chance pass by.

"Well, I guess that you should stick around then, who knows? I might let you in," I said. Kai winked at me and asked to open the boot.

"Wow, you are so different from Luna, you only have three boxes and one luggage bag. Luna has ten boxes with her. Half of them are 'my precious dresses'" Kai mimicked the way Luna talk mischievously. That successfully made me laugh.

Kai took the largest and heaviest box on his arms. This guy probably had some serious strength on him.

"Can I ask you something?" My curiosity was seriously killing me. I wanted to know about the relationship between Luna and Kai.

"No!" Kai exclaimed while holding my box. I was taken by suprise. Ok. Maybe Kai didn't like to be asked about his personal questions. I looked at him, as if he could read what my eyes were trying to express. I am sorry.

Kai shook his head vigorously. "No... no no no. I meant no, Luna isn't my girlfriend. I just wanted to help Luna's brother. He is my best friend. I knew him since our freshman year, we got along very well. Today he is having an appointment, so I offered myself to help his sister which I knew from high school,"

I didn't know what made me burst out laughing. It might be Kai explaining every thing without catching a breath and trying not to lose his coolness while holding my box. Kai took a long breath and joined me laughing.

"I just wanted to make sure I'm not playing with someone else's boyfriend,"

I took out my bag from my car and followed Kai who was waiting for me to lock my car. The walk to my room changed from awkward to a getting-to-know-each-other conversation. We exchanged questions like my age, where

did I come from, what music did I like and other stuff. I told him I am 21 years old. When I received the blank look from Kai, I told him I was taking a break from college two years ago. Kai told me that he is a member of a dance group in the college. No wonder, every time when we were walking pass some girls, they will be either giggling with thier friends or greeting Kai. Being polite, Kai gave each of the girls with smiles. When we arrived at my room, we were still arguing about songs should be represented by the music or lyrics. We didn't realise how fast time flew. I let Kai in, since I saw how red his face had became. Kai put down the box at the edge of my bed before landing himself on the top of my bed. We took a break before moving the last box.

After minutes had pass, we started again for the last round. Halfway to parking lot, I forgot to bring my car keys. I told Kai to wait for me at parking lot while I took the keys.

Didn't want to make Kai wait for any longer, I ran to my room and grab my keys, then made my way to the parking lot. I smiled thinking of how careless I was when I was around boys.

It was already half past eleven o'clock, there were only a few people wandering around the dorm. Maybe most of them were going out for lunch. I suddenly felt lonely in the empty hallways. I saw someone coming from the opposite direction. The moment I laid my eyes on him, my smile was gone. I couldn't move my legs. He shouldn't be here. Memories about us were playing in my mind like an old film. He saw me. That pair of eyes landed on mine. They were cold. They were foreign on my radar of knowing him very well. Instead of trying to avoid me, he walked straight to where I was standing. Slowly but confidently, the way I was not used to. The closer he got, the stronger the pain of a broken heart trying to overwhelm me was.

When there were merely three steps between us, he smiled at me before walking pass me like he never know me. I was glad that maybe he couldn't recongnize me but at same time I couldn't deny that it was hurting me too.

I slumped to the ground as the energy was sucked out from my whole body. There was no tears. I wanted to hurt someone. I wanted them to feel my pain. I hate him. So much. It had been two damn years. I underestimated the power his held on me. I told myself that I was getting stronger, everyday. No I was wrong. I was not strong at all. That guy who made me so weak. Oh Dehan. I hate you.
