Chan's POV

-

"How was it?"

I just shrugged and threw my car key to the couch. There wasn't the slightest desire to talk about what just happened, but these seven damn kids started swarming me like ants in spring. "No one's ordering something? I'm hungry."

"Don't change the topic~" Oh God, this Han Jisung's mode was too annoying. He had started to act strangely by sniffing my whole body, "There's no sign of Liv. Or is it because I forgot her scent?"

"Stupid! You're just like kkami." The most gorgeous boy between us was never bored to declare how lovely his fur baby was. He insulted Jisung in the most dramatic face I'd ever seen. "And how do you know about her scent ?"

"It was always blowing like hell every time Chan entered the room. But it's true, It's been a year since we met Liv. I was surprised to see her suddenly here and join the organization."

"How could she join us just like that ? I still remember the hard requirements to be a member."

"She has money, bro. And power. But that's just my suspicion. Maybe she changes ?"

They're not wrong, they must be curious about what I talked to Liv. Considering they'd been with me for a long time, from high school too, my relationship with her had become their daily topic. So, if you think boys wouldn't gossip, nah! They just did it behind and even more than everyone ever thought.

No one didn't know Liverra, the spoiled girl of a famous businessman Eric Miles Lee, who owned several big businesses in our country under EML corp. . Because of her parents' work, she probably felt lonely and kept seeking my attention so I dated her out of pity. I was too naive and kind to someone like her. Not Han Jisung, not Hyunjin's dog kkami, I was the dumbest here.

"But Chan, is she still like that?"

Well, Seo Changbin's question was the most normal right now, and my answer was- "No."

Jisung frowned, "Are you sure she changed? Did she eat something weird? Or is she possessed by a ghost ?"

"I think it has something to do with her absence for a year." This time, our smartest Kim Seungmin spoke even though his eyes were fixed on his laptop. His part-time job seemed pretty busy so he had to finish his university assignments early. Still, the world wasn't fair, he could still get good grades.

"Make sense, it's just, where was she?"

"I don't know, she doesn't have any friends. She only has you, Bang." Lee Minho's were just spitting facts. "She hasn't called you in a year?"

"Yeah." I sighed, this was really weird honestly. Liv would call me 24/7 and make sure I was in her grip but then- she was suddenly missing.

"Maybe something bad happened to her."

"Wow, you're so caring, Felix."

"Bro, it's his character."

"I think she was just going traveling around the world visiting twelve countries for a month each. And might be dating a new boy because she found Chan's too boring."

"Such a nice story to make a fanfiction, Jisung."

"Shut up Jeongin."

"Why you mad ? That's a compliment."

I let them gossip about Liv, which could be true. The past year was like heaven because she just disappeared without any trace. I could finally date my longtime crush since high school, Madelaine 'Maddie' Hayes. At first she was hesitant to date me knowing about Liverra who was always sticking with me. But, after a long fight with many other boys who also wanted her, I won.
