Betting On A Boy // Hyunlix

Heartbreak

Felix's POV:

"What's got you smiling like that?" Jongho asked me while we walked out of the locker room together to start gym class. "Is it Hyunjin?" He teased.

"He's taking me on a date tonight." I tried to contain my smile, but it was practically impossible. My cheeks were starting to hurt.

"You must've done something wild for him to call off that bet." He smiled.

"Bet? What bet?" I felt an intense wave of anxiety consume me entirely.

"Did he...not tell you?" Jongho was confused, then started to look around for someone. "Hold on." He walked away from me and started a conversation with his friend, Yeosang, from afar.

What kind of bet? Was I the bet? That wouldn't make any sense. Hyunjin wouldn't do anything like that to me. He's been so open and genuine from the start.

"Hi." Yeosang came back with Jongho and greeted me. "You're the one that's with Hyunjin?"

"Yeah, why?" I timidly responded, beginning to feel nauseous.

"So I used to...hook up with him a long time ago. He's not a good person." Yeosang warned me and I could tell he was being genuine in a way that he was just trying to look out for me. "You and Jisung were a part of a bet. It was Minho's idea."

"What kind of bet? I don't understand."

Jisung too? Meaning Minho is bad news? But they've been so happy together, I don't get it.

"The bet was trying to get someone to fall in love with them in a month. Minho picked you for Hyunjin, and Hyunjin picked Jisung for Minho. If Hyunjin lost, he couldn't have sex with anyone for the rest of the school year. If Minho lost, he had to do Hyunjin's homework."

"So...all of this has just been..." I couldn't even finish my sentence. I felt tears welling up in my eyes once it started to process.

Hyunjin isn't falling in love with me. Hell, he probably doesn't even like me.

"A bet." Yeosang sighed. "Did you already have sex with him?" I nodded. "And he stayed with you after that?"

"Well, I told him I was falling in love with him last night like a fucking idiot apparently." Although I don't know Yeosang, I could tell his heart was breaking for me. He pulled me to the side and tried his best to be comforting, allowing me to cry in his arms. "He said he was falling in love with me too."

I should've known.

Everyone tried to warn me that he was bad news, but I refused to listen. From the second I saw him, I was so blinded by his looks and his charm. I thought he was letting me see past that hard exterior and allowing me to know the real him.

All of it was a lie. He went through such efforts to convince me. Picking me up, buying me things, dinner with his parents, opening up to me about his sister. Here I thought he was this amazing guy who was heavily misunderstood.

And what about Jisung? He's in love with Minho. This will destroy him, but he needs to know.

"I'm sorry Hyunjin put you through that. He's always been a manipulative person who's up to no good."

"Thank you for telling me." I sniffled, pulling away from him. "I need to go though."

I ran out of the gym and into the closest bathroom, locking myself in a stall as I cried.
