"You know she plays you like a fool, right?"

Recognizing the voice, I felt an instant rage course through me. Turning around, I saw him leaning against the bar with a smug look on his face.

"What are you doing here, BamBam?"

He ignored my question and proceeded to order a drink. Watching him stand there so nonchalantly, I could tell that he was up to something. Watching  him pick up his drink, he glared at me as he take a sip. With a deep breath I clenched my fists tightly to the point they shook, I wanted to punch him where he stood, but knowing that the people around me were all connected to Mina's family, I could risk tainting their image and ruining Mina's performance.

"Relax, I'm not here to cause you trouble. quite the opposite, I'm here to save you the trouble." He said placing his glass on the counter.

"What are you yapping about?"

"Mina of course," Without a second thought I stepped closer to him and he put his hand out "Woah, woah. Let me talk first." Letting out a huff I knew I shouldn't be wasting my time talking to him but wanting to know what he had to say, I stayed and glared at him.

"Anyways, Mina. She doesn't love you, she's just using you." My anger grew when he said that, but I stood my ground "Thanks to you and her, I'm now the bad guy at the school, you ruined my image. So I'm here to ruin something of yours."

'What the hell is he talking about?'

"The truth about your relationship is that she is just using you, she told me herself a few months ago. The principal gave her an offer. Date you to keep the school's reputation and funding high, and in return, she gets a free pass to any university she wants."

I couldn't believe what came out of his mouth thinking that he was making up lies. I wanted to go up to him and grab him by the shirt. I couldn't let him show up to ruin Mina's night, but as I took the first step, I heard her voice.

"Hey, I for...got my bag." Slowly turning around, I see Mina. The smile on her face slowly faded when she saw BamBam and me. "What's going on here?" she asked.

"I'm just here to tell Y/n the truth about you— it's an eye for an eye," Bambam said as he walked closer to me. "Remember, she played you like the fool you are." Patting my shoulder, I watch him disappear amongst the crowds. Looking back at Mina, I see her eyes well up and they were on the verge of pouring over, reaching out I tried holding her hand but she pulled away

"Mina..." I called, stepping closer I saw her tears begin running down her cheeks, and she covered her mouth to muffle the sound of her cries. "I don't-" But before I could finish, she turned and ran away.

"Mina, wait!"

The anger I felt from BamBam instantly vanished and was replaced by my concerns for Mina. Picking up her bag, I started running in the direction she ran off to, but before I could make it far, I heard someone calling my name.

"Y/n!" Looking around, I see Mina's father waving at me. Walking over to him, he began introducing me to some of his work colleagues and others who were connected through his business. They started talking to me and I tried to find an appropriate time to excuse myself but her father continued to introduce more people as they came by, and it pushed me further away. after a dozen or so people came and go I thought I was able to go look for Mina but I was wrong.

"Where are you going, Y/n? The show should be starting soon, let's go to our seats."

"Could you give me a moment? I need to look for Mina and return her bag," I said, trying to excuse myself away so I could talk to her.
