chapter 21 | liar

Mid-week, mid-fall and start of October. Chayoung had just gotten the news of the halloween party the college was hosting at the end of the month. The girl was eagerly on her way to the football field, expecting to bring the news to her roommate and her boyfriend who should definitely both be there!

Chayoung was of course not one to party too much. She never had the friends nor the will to voluntarily go to a club or anything. But this time was different.

She had friends now. One who even knew her darkest secrets, her biggest regrets and her strongest guilts. Haneul was just like her name. A sky, a beautiful and clear one that continuously lit up Chayoung's day — if not life.

She had a boyfriend. One who cherished her, made her laugh and feel somewhat important. Sometimes she still had troubles believing that Jungkook was actually real and not some hologram or illusion she made up... or even that he hadn't gotten some dare from his friends. But nope, he just was that great of a guy.

Which was like a constant reminder that the girl was not. She had secrets.

There was no reason for Chayoung to tell Jungkook about her former secret job other than to lift a weight off of her chest. But that weight was pretty damn heavy, meaning the one reason was pretty reasonable. She had her moments, feeling like the worst girlfriend ever, but she also had moments of intrusive thoughts, warning her of all the things that could happen if she told Jungkook. And alas, her fear outweighed her guilt.

Today however, Chayoung was in a good mood. The day before she paid the loan repayments of the previous month and she had more spare money than she usually had, which meant she could pay off a bit more than usually. And in addition to that, the girl didn't have a shift on the day of the halloween party. And above all, the sun was shining making it nice fall weather to be out in.

To Chayoung, the day just couldn't get any better.

Especially because school was over and she was heading to see her favorite people.

First she'd go see Haneul. She figured the football team would have some kind of post-practice meeting or something and the cheerleaders were always finished a bit before them anyway. Chayoung had timed her appearance so she wouldn't have to wait for the cheer team to be finished. She would get there, spot Haneul, tell her about the halloween party, maybe ask if they should have a girls-night on Friday with snacks and all and maybe—

...maybe Taehyung would be joining?

Right in front of her eyes was Haneul, cornered up between the concrete wall and Taehyung's body. Each of his hands were placed firmly on the wall next to the girl's head. Haneul's hands however were roaming around Taehyung's hair, entangling her fingers in his strands as she pulled him closer to her parted lips where his tongue was buried deep inside.

Chayoung stopped in her tracks at first sight. Her eyes widened and her body stiffened as if she saw a ghost. Actually, maybe she would've been less surprised if she did. A ghost would be more likely to witness than this.

She was just at the opening of the tunnel leading to the football field beneath the seats. She was at a safe distance from the two people to notice her as they were way ahead in the tunnel, and way busy.

Chayoung didn't willingly stand there and watch her self-proclaimed best friend make out with said girl's ex-boyfriend — for whom she by the way always made sure to point out her long gone feelings — but it was such an unexpected sight that she had trouble looking away. It was almost as if she didn't believe her own eyes... last time she checked, her eyesight was just fine?

The lurker didn't know how long she stood there, watching, before she left... but she watched the two sucking tongue long enough to decide that she didn't hallucinate. And that Taehyung's tongue was indeed far down Haneul's throat.
