The Devil's Sweetheart

A while ago..

Jeongyeon had a nap to remove unwanted thoughts from his mind after coming from school. He woke up in the evening and went to the kitchen to fill his stomach. ''What's special today?'' He asked his mom, tasting a cinnamon cookie that his mother baked. Black bean salsa, chocolate chips, everything is his sister's favorite. Now Jeongyeon realized. His sister is coming home for vacation.

''Rosé is coming home, right? So, I have made her favorites,'' Mabel said, packing the cookies into a box and handed to Jeongyeon. ''Go, and give these to Jisoo. He loves chocolate chips which I make.''

Jeongyeon smiled and drove to Jisoo's house. Unlike every day, he got a chance to spend time with Aunt Lily. In between their talks, Jisoo's Mathematics tutoring classes came into the picture. Jeongyeon was shocked to hear that Lily has no idea of his classes. Then why did Jisoo lie?

Something is wrong. With Lily's permission, Jeongyeon went into Jisoo's bedroom and searched the cupboard, and he found a beard, mustache. ''Why is he keeping weird things?''

Jeongyeon found strange things in one of the drawers to his further search: Medical pills, play stations, Fart machine...Jeongyeon's eyes widened in surprise. ''J-isoo.. He was the one who played the prank?''

Grabbing the device, Jeongyeon charged out of the room to directly go to school to confront him. But to his luck, Jisoo was just three steps away from him. His anger even rose to pitches seeing Nayeon tagged along with him.

''Jeongyeon-''

Before Jisoo uttered a word, a punch landed on his face silencing his thoughts, sending Jisoo to the ground. Before Jisoo picked up himself, Jeongyeon laid another punch on Jisoo's jaw. ''Was it you?'' Jeongyeon screamed, raising the fart machine so that Jisoo could see his work.

''Jeongyeon, please listen to-''

''Why did you do it?'' Jeongyeon barked, straddling Jisoo's torso.

Nayeon panicked and tried to stop their fights. ''Jeongyeon, please don't-"

''You stay out of this!'' Jeongyeon's roaring voice made Nayeon cringe in terror.

''Why did you betray me, bastard! What have I done to you to humiliate me?'' Jeongyeon screamed and held his throat. Jisoo coughed, unable to breathe, blood drained from his face.

''Jeongyeon, please. Don't hit him.'' With all her might, Nayeon pushed Jeongyeon, but to no avail. In the third attempt, she knocked him to the ground.

''Nayeon, I told you to stay out of this,'' Jeongyeon yelled.

''What has gone into you?'' Nayeon shouted as she looked at the surroundings. Slowly, people would come and make a scene if Jeongyeon keeps acting like a mad man. ''Are you planning to kill him?"

''All my girlfriends broke up, and the sole responsible is this culprit.'' Jeongyeon pointed his finger at Jisoo.

''Stop blaming him when you don't know the truth,'' Nayeon spoke up, her voice trembling. ''I was the one who asked him to ruin your dates.''

''W-hat?'' Jeongyeon's eyes widened, his voice shaky, disbelieving. ''Why did you?''

Without looking at Jeongyeon, Nayeon helped Jisoo to get up.

''Why did you do it, Nayeon.'' Jeongyeon pushed Jisoo to the ground. ''I am not letting you leave without giving me-''

''Because I like you, and jealousy overstepped me to do all sort of evil things.'' Nayeon screamed, letting out her feelings finally. ''Happy? Now, will you leave us in peace?''
