Seduce Me {GNCD (Golden Child) Joochan}

<35>

"Y did..." I stammered as I let Seungmin enter my house. "I'm so sorry, Rosa," He cried, "I guess I was too caught up in his trap," he hugged me as I just stood there. Right, why had I been this selfish? I knew Y was working together with Jibeom.. why didn't I foresee this happening? I could've helped him, been there for him...

"I'm sorry, Seungmin," I told him, "I knew.. that he would break up with you." I said fair and square as his head darted up and he looked at me with teary eyes. "Jibeom.. he betrayed us. Not only me, but you included. He... played a game. A game he involved Y in and thus you. He appearantly knew you liked Y, and hired Y to be your boyfriend to distract you from his game to seduce me from Joochan." 

Seungmin didn't seem to understand well so I rephrased the story another time for him to fully comprehend. 

"But... that's.. Y told me something like this before," Seungmin told me as he helf my arms. "He told me that Jibeom and Bomin were telling him to interact with me. But he told me that he wanted this relationship, that he loved me..." 

"That was probably just a lie," I patted his shoulder and sighed, "You didn't know he was getting paid for it did you?" I wondered and he shook his head. "Don't worry Seungmin. There will be someone right for you. I am sure of it. Also, we already caught Jibeom. I'm sure everything will return to its rightful place," I assured him as he chuckled a bit, "Except for Joochan."

I stared at Seungmin briefly as he folded his arms. "What, did you think I didn't see him leaving the house?" he chuckled and I blushed awkwardly. "How do you even know he's not involved?" Seungmin questioned as I smiled. "He was Jibeoms target in the first place. I've witnessed it myself. Plus, he's not as badboy-ish as he may seem. Deep down inside he is a softie. You should've seen him pout when I don't cuddle up with him." 

Seungmin and I teased each other for a while before we decided to go for a walk and go to Jaehyun. He only knew part of the story too. Plus, it had been a long time since we hung out together. "Do you think he'll forgive me? I basically dumped our friendship." Seungmin stammered as I reassured him it would be fine. If anyone was loyal, it was definitely Jaehyun. 

"Also, what happened with Daeyeol and Daeyin? Weren't they involved too?" Seungmin asked as I shrugged. "I honestly don't know. Daeyeol helped us set up a plan against Jibeom but well that didn't go as well as we hoped for. Also, Daeyin seemed to have known for a long time he was evil. That's why she was acting and talking so weird about him. For the rest, I haven't really spoken with them. It seems like Daeyeol has his eyes on someone too, so he got distracted" I smiled and Seungmin did too when we stopped in front of Jaehyuns house.

"Shall we go inside?" I asked as we had rung the bell and the door of the building was opened after Jaehyun had asked a bunch of questions to check if it was really us.

"Guys!" Jaehyun hugged the both of us when we stepped inside. "Did you guys see the test scores already?" 

I completely startled when I realised the exam scores were supposed to be uploaded today. because of all the hardships and stuff going on I hadn't even thought about that for a split second. All of the last few days had been so intruiging I had completely forgotten about it.

"I passed! with 76%," Seungmin happily said as he pushed his screen in my face, "You passed with 78%!" He cheered as Jaehyun smiled awkwardly. "A solid 61%," he scratched his neck as we laughed. Some things would never change.

"Hey, shall we go to our café tomorrow? We should celebrate everything's over. Exams included." Jaehyun suggested as I nodded happily and cheered with Seungmin. "Yes, let's go do that!" I said, "But for now, let's binchwatch some drama," I suggested as both of my friends nodded.

I was just extremely happy to be with my friends again.
