Bluff (BBANGSAZ)

XIII

Hanni's POV

No, I have no reason to like her. I mean, I have no definite explanation for how this happened. If that rumor hadn't started, maybe my life would be peaceful.

I massaged my head as I debated whether to accept her invitation or not. My mom had just finished scolding me after I slept at Minji's again, and now I didn't know how to convince her to let me go later.

Lily, Bae, and Danielle haven't found out yet. Maybe I'll tell them tomorrow, or maybe tonight or whenever I want to. I feel like I look crazy right now, regretting my past decisions again. I don't want the idea of me liking Minji. I mean, I liked it at the start, but now that Sullyoon is involved, it seems like I am being challenged to ignore these feelings.

I tossed and turned in my bed, feeling restless and uncertain. I covered myself with a blanket and whined like a kid, kicking the pillows below. A knock from my room made me pick up those pillows.

"Hanni, your friends are here!!" it's not that obvious that they're really excited for the party; we have 3 hours left, and yet they are already here.

I groaned, not in the mood to socialize. But before I could even say anything, Lily barged into my room, followed by Bae and Danielle. They looked excited for the party, but as soon as they saw me, they knew something was wrong.

"HANNIIII-"

"I NEED PEACE FOR A MOMENT, SHUT UP LILY," I interrupted her, but they were faster than lightning entering my room.

"What happened to our princess? Is there something bothering you?" she replied.

"Yeah, I have a huge problem," I answered, still being embraced by my lovely, soft blanket. They came closer and sat on my bed.

"What is it?"

"Tell us," Bae commanded, with her eyes wide open.

"You can tell us once you're ready," that's why I love Danielle. Don't get me wrong, I love them all, but Danielle made me realize that I should think wisely every time I do something regretful.

"I think I like someone," I said, biting my lower lip, waiting for their response. I thought they would be excited, but it seems like they are disappointed.

"Nothing's new," Bae replied.

"I thought it's something IMPORTANT," Lily added.

"Who is it this time?" Danielle asked, looking done with me. I couldn't count how many times I told her that I liked someone. But this time, it's different because it's Minji. Shit, it looks like I'm down bad for her. No, it's not that deep, and I shouldn't act like this.

"Minji" they all looked shocked from my revelation. I assumed that they already expected it, but why did they react like this.

"Eh?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I suddenly felt it ... that I'm starting to like her, but it's not that deep. I could easily move on from her," I explained.

"Since when and why?" Danielle inquired, intrigued by my story.

"Since the night she treated my sprained ankle, every thing seems magical...I felt special and safe at that moment. But don't worry, I've already experienced all of these, like people being kind and sweet to me, and I eventually like them, and after about 2 days, my feelings are gone. So it's not a huge problem, perhaps?" I assured them, but they seem unconvinced.

"You better ignore those feelings, Hanni," Danielle said sternly. She's scary right now. I know that when she's joking and when she's serious. I nodded and smiled at them.
