Rule no.1 [Nct Jaemin]

Part 10

"Where did you sleep last night?" Ria asked. I nervously sip on my coffee then avoided her gaze.

"If you don't want to answer me that's fine. You're here breathing and... no wounds, I guess that's fine." She said while checking my arms. 

"I swear, I didn't do anything wrong last night." She just smirked at me and left me here at the booth. Today is the last day of the program. 

"Sandy." I looked at person who called my name. Aiden was standing in front of me. 

"Hi!" 

He sat down beside me and gave me a ice cream. As usual it's our favorite flavor, strawberry!

"So, that was your boyfriend?" Boyfriend? Who? he continue speaking, "The guy who took you home last night, that was you're boyfriend, right?"  So what am I supposed to answer this? 

"That was he said? Do you see his face?" 

"Yeah, he said you're his girlfriend and no, I didn't see his face." I felt relieved upon hearing his last words. Luckily no one recognize him! 

"If that was he said then."

"Am I still allowed to talk to you or should I distance myself?" He looked at me weirdly when he heard me laughing after what he said. 

"Why do you need to distance yourself?"

"You have a boyfriend. I don't want to cause any-" I cut him off

"He's not a jealous type. Seriously, you have nothing to worry about." I assured him. 

"Okay. I'm fine with it as long as I wouldn't get a punch from that guy." I laughed again at his remarks. 

I looked at my phone again. I'm still thinking if I should meet Sev or not. We're fiends and in the first place, it's my fault for not giving him assurance. 

"Let's meet when I have free time. Prepare the invitations. Ria was excited about it. I'm happy for you."   that was my reply to him. I'm sincere when I told him I'm happy for him. He deserve the happiness and I deserve the pain. This will fade soon. 

"Are you going home tonight?" I got startled when I heard Ria's voice from behind.

"Y-Yes"

"Okay. We have after party again later and uh... you can stay at your boyfriend's house for dinner." She playfully said. I looked at her with my eyes widen and she just laughed at me.

"He's not my-" 

"So, is he the guy who ghosted you for a month? I really thought you and Sev are something but last night Aiden told me that your boyfriend fetch you. Aiden said, it seems like the dude just got off the plane? Is that true? When did you guys become official? You stayed at his place the whole night, right?" She bombard me with questions.

"Ria... he's not-" I wasn't able to finish my word when my phone suddenly rings. Ria snatched it from my hands and answered it. She even tuned the camera on. 

"Uhm... hon, what time I'm going to fetch you?" My soul almost left my body when heard his voice. How am I going to explain this to my best friend that me and my bias know each other's existence?

"Oh, hi! Where is Sandy? You are Ria, right? Nice to meet you! Hope to meet you personally soon. Can I talk to-" Ria was so shocked that she suddenly clicked the end call.

"That was the korean dude you're crazy with! How the fck you-"

"He was the guy who ghosted me for a month."
