Chapter 6

He scoffs at you. "You should end the deal, he's no good." Seungcheol tells you. "Whatever." you say rolling your eyes. "It's going to get me more famous either way." you say stuffing food in your mouth. 

[TIMESKIP]

It's the end of the day, and you're walking back home. You're on your phone and listening to music. There's light rain, and its dark outside. Just how you like it. While you were walking, you felt someone grab your wrist and dragged you somewhere else.

It was dark outside and you could only see the figures back, so you didn't who it was. "What the fuck!" you scream. "Stop screaming, no ones coming to help you." They said. The figure dragged you to the back of the school, where there was no one there.

They turned around to face you, and it was Hyunjin. Of course. You sighed, you felt like punching him. "What do you want now. My heart sank for a second." you said. He chuckled. "If you want to end this deal, you can whenever you want to." he said, bending down to your height.

"You're jealous, aren't you?" you ask. "I'm not, you're just not taking this deal serious enough." he explains. "So, if I talk to another boy, I'm not acting professional? That's stupid." "See, you get it. Now act like you know how to be in a relationship."

"You, are taking this too seriously. This is all fake, stop acting and talking to me as if I will die if I don't act like this is real."  you say, making sure to empathize the 'you' at the beginning. 

"Just say you want to end the de-" "Can I just go home?" you cut him off. "No, I want to figure this out first." he says, with his hands in his pockets. "I'll play the role, okay." you mutter. "I'm going home now." you say.

You turn around to leave since it was getting late. Your about to leave, but he pulls your hair. You stumble backwards as he grips onto your hair still. You turn around to face him. "What do you want now, and let go of my hair." you say, reaching up to grab his hand.

He releases his grip on your hair and stares at you blankly. You stand there facing him, without saying a word. 

"Do you still have something to sa-" he cuts you off as he slaps you without any emotion. It felt different though. You've been slapped before, but not this way. "Excuse me?" you ask. Your voice is trembling.

He doesn't say a word as he turns around and leaves you there. You put your hand on your cheek once you realize he's gone. You are on the verge of crying, but you save the tears until you get home. 

You walk home while it's still raining. You make sure to walk quick, since you don't want to get soaked. While you're walking, you thought about that slap. He was being really aggressive today. Not that you haven't seen this side of him, but he was acting different.

Why? You didn't know. "Was it because I sat with Seungcheol at lunch today? I mean, he did bring up the fact that I'm not acting like we are a real couple. Why did I even agree to this?" you thought. 

You sighed as you looked down at the sidewalk you're walking on, made of concrete. The raindrops left small, dark, messy circles on the concrete. So many thoughts were going through your head. You couldn't even walk without almost slipping.
