(im going off script from the original book from this chapter here on now)

She smiled then went to whisper in my ear, "So are you curious?"

The way she caressed my arm was so seductive, it was almost daring. If this was a way of her asking to sleep with me, I don't know if I could say no to such a beauty. So I stayed silent for a while until I thought of an answer.

"Ryujinnie?" Lia called.

"I don't know, you did just.. reject me, ya know? All of this feels wrong." I said truthfully.

"I really don't want a relationship, but we could have a fling." She says. What the fuck is a fling? Is that even a thing?

"A fling?" I asked.

"An intimate relationship where there aren't romantic feelings involved. Don't you just wanna have some fun?" Lia smiled, still creating goosebumps along my arms as she touched them up and down gracefully.

"I don't know, I'll think about it." I told her. I wonder what Yeji would've asked me to do. I needed my best friend's opinion about this.

"Decide now or never, I don't have time to wait, Ryujinnie." Lia said, clearly impatient. But I'm leaning more towards the answer no.. Will I be able to talk to her as a friend at least?

"If I say no, will you stop seeing me?" I asked.

"Probably." Lia said, coldly. Damn, what the fuck, no emotions or anything.. I know that this would be a toxic relationship, but I feel more cool when I'm around her since she's popular. Plus, if I stop liking this fling or whatever, I can always just call it off.. Even if that means I couldn't see her anymore. I only just wanna see how this works..

"Okay," I said. She smiled at my answer then grabs my arm.

She leads us to her room.

And that night.. It was wild.

(skipping jinlia scene)

I woke up on an empty bed as per usual. Oh, well.

I wonder if I sleep with Yeji, will she do the same thing? Why am I wondering that?

"Yeji, I need to talk to you as soon as possible!" I told her on the phone, not being able to wait about telling her about what I had with Lia last night.

"Couldn't you tell me when we were in class? You didn't have to call, our class is in like 20 minutes.." Yeji said, annoyed already.

"I know, I have so much to tell you!" I said happily.

"Okay, tell me then." She said, ending the call. Damn, what a mood-kill. I think she had enough of my bs.

When I got to class, I got there really early. Like, there was 25 minutes left

Yeji comes in the room just 5 minutes after me. Surprised to see me in class before her. I usually come into class when there's like 5-10 minutes left.

"You must be really excited to tell me then, huh?" Yeji sighed.

"Yeah, last night Lia flirted with me!" I said, beginning the story of what I was going to tell her.

"Didn't she reject you?" She rolled her eyes, not interested about my story. Whatever I'll still keep telling her anyway.

"Yeah, but it turns out she wants to have a fling with me!" I smiled. Yeji look at me with an annoyed expression. I need a friend who can handle all my bs, Yeji gotta do better.

"Let me guess. You said yes and had sex with her?" Yeji groaned. Was it that obvious?

"Yeah, basically." I said, I don't even need to deny.

"Oh my god." She said, facepalming.

"What?" I awkwardly laugh.

"Why did you even say yes?" She's gonna lecture me again..

"She said that if I said no to her offer, she would stop seeing me!" I whined.

"Ryu, she only wants to have her fun with you. She doesn't care about you, she only thinks you're hot." She crossed her arms. Well, ouch.

"Well.. Damn." I said, unable to come up with anything else.

"Truth hurts." She said.

"Well, maybe she'll change her mind after a little while..." I'm not delusional, I could probably change her.
(ryu ur love interest is right in front of u 😍)

"Don't you know? You aren't the only person she has this fling with!" Yeji yelled.

"I'll prove that I'll be the best to date!" I argued.

"She doesn't date!" Yeji groaned. What would she know? She only had a relationship with one person in her life.

"How would you know?" I asked. That should end the argument.

"I didn't want to tell you but.. she messed with me before. Like, 2 years back." Yeji sighed. But, that's around the time when I started liking her..

"Wow." Was all I could let out.

"If you're going to have this fling with her, you better not get feelings involved, alright?" She lets out a loud sigh.

"But I thought you've always hated her." I asked.

"I hated her from then on." She said.

"Why didn't you tell me this! Now I feel unimportant." I complained, mocking her from before.

"The fling I had with Lia was unimportant. Why did I need to tell you?" She rolled her eyes.

"Girls in the back, do you have anything you want to share with the whole class?" The professor asked. Another mood-killer.

We went silent, not wanting to answer.

"Thank you. Now.. make sure you know how to do this formula, alright?" Is this a warning for a pop quiz?

"I bet there's a quiz tomorrow." I said, not knowing it was loud enough for the teacher to hear.

"Well, since miss talkative in the back bet that there's a quiz tomorrow. We should let it come true, eh?" The professor chuckled while the whole class groaned. Now everyone in this class is gonna hate me.

They're all staring me down, "Bro, I was literally 40 miles away!" I said as an excuse.

"Thanks a lot, Shin." Yuna sarcastically says as she rolled her eyes out of the classroom.

The bell rings, dismissing the class.

"Make sure you study tomorrow." Yeji said. I rolled my eyes before she said, "I'll reward you with something good."

She left the class winking at me, which I was hypnotized by. Then I started running after her, yelling, "Wait! What's the reward?"

"I'm not gonna say." She smiled mischievously. When I caught up to her.

If this is about letting me touch her breast, I'll definitely get a hundred percent. But I'll study hard just to see the surprise.
