the bet

part nine: i win

I run out of my house quickly. I can feel the cold wind hit my face as I shiver.

"Sunoo!" I yelled a continuous amount of times before finally stopping. I ran back inside towards the garage and was stopped by Heeseung.

"Hey, slow down." He says in concern.

"I'm sorry I can't I'm looking for someone." I say trying to get away from him.

"Sorry about Sunoo." He says.

"What?" I ask confused.

"I invited him, I really didn't think he would see you kissing Soojin." He says in a cold tone.

I could feel the anger build up inside of me. I didn't plan on what happened next but I was so mad that I didn't care. I punched him. I could feel the stares on us but I also didn't care about them. I left the area and went to my garage.

I quickly got into my car, freezing not to mention and drove to Sunoo's.

As I got into Sunghoon's car I couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier. It kept replaying in my wind which led even more tears to come out of my eyes.

I decided to go to Sunghoon's dorm instead of my house.

As I sat in the car I couldn't feel more confused, I didn't know what me and Niki were at this point. He's always nice to me lately which he's never been like before. I couldn't tell if he liked me or just felt bad for me like many people do.

I arrived at Sunghoon's dorm with tear stained cheeks which led people to stare with sympathetic looks. I looked down avoiding the stares. I knew which room was his because he gave me his keys and dorm number a while ago when he first moved in.

I decided to take a warm shower to hopefully help my stuffed up nose. I left my phone to charge outside of the bathroom because I didn't want to risk it getting wet. I learned that the hard way when it got soaked and wouldn't turn on for a week.

When I arrived at Sunoo's I quickly ran to the door, almost slipping. I knocked on the door frantically waiting for an answer that never came. I figured he wasn't home. I needed to see him, it was all just a misunderstanding. I didn't want to hurt him. I decided to try and send him a text.

"7-Eleven, 10 PM."

I could only hope at this point that he would see it.

As I got out of the shower and finished getting ready I reached for my phone outside the door. I looked at my notifications and I got a huge burst of nerves as I read one of the names on my text messages.

Niki:

"7-Eleven, 10PM."

I sat there confused as I re-read the text over again. I figured he wanted me to meet him there but I didn't want to.

I have been trying to distance myself from him for awhile but kept failing. This time I knew this time I couldn't fail. I didn't want him to get my hopes up. I put my phone down and decided to watch Netflix on Sunghoon's TV. Time went by and sooner or later I heard a knock on the door.

"It's me!" I recognize that voice as Sunghoon's so I get up and open the door to reveal Jake. I see Sunghoon behind him and feel a relief.

"I had to use Jake's car." He says while walking in along with Jake carrying chocolates and flowers. He hands them to me and says,

"Breakups are tough, sorry man."
I look at him confused as Sunghoon nudges him.

"I didn't go through a breakup."
