Lie or Die | BLOCK B B-Bomb

Chapter 10

"No, it's fine, Raeki."

He did remember me. Hyunsik knew exactly who I was.

"I'm sorry, but my name is Raekyo, not Raeki."

He laughed right in my face, "You're kidding, right? You don't actually think I'd forget you, do you?"

"We didn't meet until today, right?" I played stupid, but he wasn't buying it.

I'm really gonna die, aren't I?

"We never actually met, I guess. But I still know you. Jiwon talked about you before."

Jiwon talked about me before, probably about his plan to molest me. But like I give a damn that he betrayed me. I don't care.

"Yea. I assumed he would tell all his friends about his plan before actually going through with it." I muttered, looking at the floor.

"What plan are you talking about? Do you mean about us smoking? Because that wasn't our idea. We didn't even have a choice. We were kind of threatened."

That didn't make any sense. Threatened if they didn't smoke? It was just a cigarette, so why would anyone threaten to do ANYTHING if someone didn't smoke?

"By who?" I asked, suddenly taking interest in the topic.

He sighed and looked at his feet, scratching his neck. "Sookyo..."

That made even less sense. Why would Sookyo was upset that they smoked, and she was even more upset when Jiwon hung out with Hyunsik. Why would she force them to smoke?

"Are you lying to me?"

He shook his head. "I wish I could say it wasn't true, but Sookyo really does have problems. I wish Jiwon would've realized it sooner..."

I let it slip out before even processing his words, "You mean before he tried to rape me?"

I saw B-Bomb spotting me, so he stood and started hauling ass toward me.

"You don't actually-" he was cut off.

"Raekyo, are you ready? I bought you hair dye and a bunch of stuff."

I averted my eyes from Hyunsik to Minhyuk quickly. "Oh. You didn't have to do that!"

"No big deal." He shrugged, and turned to Hyunsik, "Hey, Hyunsik. What're you doing here?"

"Just getting some stuff for the guys. What about you, being here with Raekyo and all? You know each other?"

I looked at him and gave him a look to thank him for not revealing my actual name.

"She lives with us now. It'll be a few months." Minhyuk informed him. The reason on why I was staying was unknown to B-Bomb, but probably not to Hyunsik.

"That's convenient, since you'll be working at the café. And you live in the apartments, like me and the guys." He smiled a smile that I'm sure was just to make B-Bomb think nothing was happening before he walked over. "Raekyo, you can text me. I'll put my number in your phone, and you can do the same, if you want."

I shrugged, afraid to reject his offer. He might end up being a safe haven. Like, if something goes wrong with Block B, I have him to fall back on, because he knows what I went through, even though we aren't friends. But I pray that I don't need to leave Block B, at least not for a few months, like Jaehyo said.

"Sure. And what do you mean, you and the guys live in the apartments? Who?" I scrunched up my eyebrows.

"Changseob, Minhyuk, Ilhoonie, Eunkwang, Peniel and me. Our old friend, Sungjae, used to live with us, but he moved out a few years ago."
