My Boyfriend is a Mannequin (EXO Xiumin Fanfic)

Chapter 7

"How are you, Jihye? I wonder what happened to the girl who got dumped at school? She cried, didn't she?" Sehun smirked. I sat up staright feeling like I was struck by lightning as he mentioned the girl.

It was me.

"Poor girl. Who would do that to her? Did she recover from it?" Jaena's mum placed a hand on her chest as if she felt the same pain as me when I got humiliated by Sehun.

"Yeah, I did. I 'know' her. She's doing totally fine. In fact, she was glad since an asshole isn't by her side anymore." I made a comeback, purposely looking at Sehun when I did it.

He was taken aback and I smiled. Jaena didn't look too pleased at me.

"Did you know her best friend set her up too? By spreading it to everyone?" I said and Jaena wasn't looking too good.

Jaena's mum looked shocked and displeased at the behaviour of the best friend I mentioned before.

She gasped. "Who would ever do such despicable matter?"

I shot a look at Jaena and she was sweating.

Jaena quickly changed the subject.

"The buffet seems appetising. I think we need to grab some food. Care to come with me?" Jaena faked a smile and held her hands out to reach mine.

I'll go along. I thought. Since we could solve this privately. She was smiling and when there's no one, she turned into this frantic woman.

"ARE YOU MAD???! Oh sure, tell everyone that I'M the one who did it to you." She tossed her hands up in the air and peeked at our table, making sure our parents won't hear the conversation.

"I won't. Because I'm not you. I just need to know something.-" She looked at me and I continued, "-Why did you do it?"

She bit her lips but the looks in her eyes showed no signs of guilt.

"I wanted something. Therefore, I did it." She crossed her arms.

"Is it because of Sehun?" I asked.

Her face was shocked. "How did you know?"

I looked up at her. Her expression gave it away. "You just did."

"I knew Sehun was using you all along. But why should I tell you when you confessed to him before me?" She explained.

W-what? She never told me she likes Sehun.

She rolled her eyes and carried on. "It's not like you'll look good with him anyway. I should be the one who's beside him. That time when he kissed you, I felt that it should be me. So if it's me, then there's no you."

She rolled her eyes again. "Aren't you just 'glad' to see me with him? In case you're wondering, when I confessed to him, he accepted it wholeheartedly." She smirked.

"But Jaena! If he could do it to me, he could do it to you." I said, sincerely worried.

"Whatever, Jihye! It doesn't matter now. As long as I have him, I'll be happy. And you won't."

"What were you thinking Jaena? If you would mention to me that you like him, I wouldn't even try to write him that letter. Don't you know me? I'd rather give him up to continue our friendship. I-" I told her but she cut me off, trying her best to not feel guilty.

"I know you're not smart. But I didn't think you're that stupid. Why did you think I become friends with you anyway? It's your brother, Kyungsoo. He's friends with Sehun, so it'll be easier for me to approach him."
