Soda | Seo Changbin

25

The day of the festival had finally arrived. The day before, our booth had been set up and we put our dancing machine inside.

My entire family planned on attending, worrying me just slightly. Namjoon was probably going to start sharing stories about me.

I was getting ready, while Jisung and Changbin were sitting on my bed. Hyunjin was going with Lia so we were by ourselves.

"Jihye, you look fine, hurry up so we can go.." Jisung whined.

"He's right. Let's just go." Changbin said, getting up and walking over to me.

"Okay, okay. Let me ask Seungmin if he's coming with us." I got up and quickly ran to Seungmin's room.

"Seungminnie~ are you coming with me or with Joon?" I asked.

"I'm actually going with my girlfriend. I have to go pick her up now." He smiled, getting up to leave.

"Girlfriend?" I questioned.

He just nodded, walking away. I hummed to myself, walking back to my room. "Let's go!!"

We got to the festival within a few minutes, and we instantly found Hyunjin and Lia.

"Woah..I didn't expect it to look this good." Jisung chuckled.

"Jisung, why don't you bring your girlfriend over? We could all hang out." I suggested.

"She's not my girlfriend. But I will invite her to join us." He said, trying to seem angry.

I rolled my eyes. "You like her."

"I do not."

"You do-"

"Yah, cut it out." Hyunjin scolded. "We don't need to show the entire school what happens when you two fight. It's embarrassing."

Lia suddenly smacked Hyunjin on the head, causing him to screech. "You're embarrassing."

"LiaaaaAAA~ that hurt.." Hyunjin whined. "Abuse-"

"I'll hit you harder." She warned.

"Sorry ma'am." Hyunjin's gaze dropped to the ground.

"I'm going to go meet Seungmin's girlfriend. Jisung, go get your girlfriend." I smiled as I walked off, eager to find my brother.

I saw him leaning against a tree, looking around.

"Seungmin!! Where's your girlfriend?" I asked once I walked over.

"She said she had to talk to a friend and to wait right here." He replied.

"Who is she?" I asked.

"Her name's Yeji." He smiled.

"Yeji?" I questioned, all the emotion draining from my face.

"Yeah..is something wrong?" He asked.

"When did you start dating her?" I asked.

"I couldn't tell you..you'd get mad that I hid it from you for so long-"

"Just tell me!" I almost yelled.

"Right before you started dating Felix. What's wrong, Jihye?" He questioned.

"She cheated on you. She's probably cheating on you right now." I blurted.

"What?" He asked. "Jihye, don't lie about stuff like that."

He had a look on his face, almost a look of shame.

"You know." I said. "You just aren't breaking up with her."
