Ch. 8 - Have To Lie

-

***Chaeyeon/Jihoon's POV***

"Oh, so do you guys want to get a ride from us? I mean we could drop your girlfriend home and drive you back to school." Suho asked as soon as we exited the restaurant. I gave Jiyul an unsure look. Everybody seemed to look and stare at her. D.O gave me a really intense look and then shifted his gaze.

"Are you sure? I mean isn't the car full already?" I asked nervously, as I looked at Suho's van. Okay maybe it wasn't, since he had a van. "Oh, I mean since it's a van, it's alright."

They kept staring at her on our way towards Suho's van. They seemed to be glancing everywhere awkwardly. Jiyul seemed to have a really awkward aura around her. Suddenly there were outburst somewhere, "Jiyul noona!"

"Yah Sehun." Xiumin gave the younger one a glare. Chanyeol seemed ashamed as he opened the car. Lay looked confused as ever. We all piled inside. Jiyul seemed nervous somehow, everybody was acting weird.

They all had an awkward and uneasy expression. Did they hide something from me? But I was tired of knowing too much so I slumped on my seat as Jiyul was beside me. Suddenly she linked our arms, as I looked at her and gave her a 'what the hell is going on' look. She shook her head at me.

Suho was driving off the parking lot. I looked at their expressions, it was something weird about them. "Uhm, maybe I should show you the directions-"

"I know them already." D.O muttered not looking at me, he sounded bitter. Kyungsoo pointed out the directions for Suho. My eyes widened. What? Suho swung left as D.O told him to. But the weird thing was that, the directions were all right. I gave Jiyul a confused look. But she ignored it. Then I turned my gaze to Chanyeol, receiving an awkward look from him.

"What was that in the car?" I questioned Chanyeol as soon as we both entered our room. He looked at me, his expression was blank. "Yah Park Chanyeol!"

"What was what?" He pretended to look confused as I smacked his shoulder. He winced and stepped back. "Yah, you shouldn't hit your roommate like that!"

"Tell me."

"Why would I tell you?" He groaned and was about to lie down on his bed, but I grabbed his shirt. "Yah, let go off me, Lee Jihoon."

"Just tell me." I groaned, as he sighed in defeat. I let go of him, making him stumble a bit.

"You are so noisy seriously." I just gave him a serious look as he sighed once again. "Remember when I told you about D.O having a girlfriend?"

My eyes widened, wait how did I not know? I groaned in frustration. What am I supposed to do? Confess that we were just friends? But I called her jagiya in the restaurant. Just because I'm covering my identity, D.O got hurt. He probably would feel awkward around me now and hurt. "Look, Chanyeol. It's hard to-"

"D.O hasn't gotten over Jiyul yet." Chanyeol cut me off. "But since she's your girlfriend, there's nothing we can do. You love her right, Jihoon?"

"Yah..." I didn't know what to say. It was starting to frustrate me. I don't think I can ever lie to them, but I had no choice. I groaned, why did I even bother to get close to them? Why am I so stupid? Now that I'm close to them, I have the urge to confess the fact that I'm a girl.

"Jihoon?" Without knowing tears were starting to form in the corner of my eyes. I was starting to sob in anger. To be honest, I hated this. Why did my fate had to be here? And the worse is, I have to fucking lie to everybody. Chanyeol's eyes widened. He looked lost like a 5-year old kid, well I didn't blame him. "W-Why?"

But soon enough he engulfed me in a hug. His long arms wrapped around me. I was literally screaming on his shoulder, not knowing what to do. "Why am I an idiot?"

"Jihoon..." He muttered and let go of me to look at my face. "I don't know what to say... But I'm sure we all respect you cause you love Jiyul. Yeah, she was D.O's ex-girlfriend. But you didn't know it at first."

Chanyeol had to stay by my side till 12AM trying to cheer me up, when I suddenly had the urge to take a walk. "It's past curfew."

"Just let me." I growled, as he nodded. Then I grabbed my jacket and opened the door.

"Call me if anything happens." He muttered, I nodded and closed the door behind me. I made my way through the hallway. Not knowing where to go. The exit doors were locked at this hour.

I was walking around the dark hallways, not caring about anything at the moment. Because of me, both D.O and Jiyul doesn't probably know how to deal with this. I groaned in frustration. I wish I could reveal my identity, but who knows what could go wrong. After all, all of these unexpected things has been happening lately.

It's not the time to reveal my identity yet. I still have to find Jongin, I don't know where Jongin is. He probably has something to say. And I don't want that Jongin kid to end up like me. I don't even know if he has found out anything behind his mother's death. But is it really his mother? I was dying to know.

Suddenly I felt a pair of arms pulling me to a darker corner, and pin me to the wall. The figure was tall and a little slim. He was wearing dark clothes with a blue snapback, who was he? But he shook his head, signalling me to not scream, with his palm covering my mouth. "It's me Kai."

"K-Kai?" I muttered, still shocked by his sudden appearance. His eyes which was barely seen in the dark, was staring into mine. When he suddenly leaned to my left ear. "E-Excuse me?"

"I know..."
