My Secret Lover | HEESEUNG

22- All Eyes on Me

Y/N'S POV;

"Yeah and that's what happened..." "I'm going to need a moment to process all of this," Jina says and dramatically exhales. I was hanging out with Jina today and I figured this will be a good time to catch her up on things.

"Well— Are you okay?" Jina asks me, feeling worried. "I don't know," I sighed and fell back on her bed. "It just... sucks. I thought we had something, but I guess I was like any other girl he's been with." "Screw that jerk. He may be hot, but unless he doesn't have dozens of girls all over him, he's a no go."

I chuckled at Jina's words as I stared at the ceiling of her bedroom. "Can we go out and drink later?" Jina abruptly sat up beside me in surprise. "For real?!" I rolled my eyes, "Yes, for real. I need to get my mind off of this situation."

"Well that's one way to get you to go to the club with me," Jina says, trying to suppress her smile.

————— ★ —————

The club was loud and many people were here. The place wasn't too bright or dark, the dim light made the atmosphere perfect. I followed Jina and she led us to a table with people I'm unfamiliar with.

"Y/n, these are some of my friends taking the same major as me from university. And this is Park Y/n, my bff!" I awkwardly waved after Jina introduced me to them. I sat beside Jina and drank my drink silently.

"Are any of you single? I can hook you up with Jeha here," a girl named Sooha — I believe, asked. Jina pointed a finger at me. "Y/n is!" My head immediately turned to her and my eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Nam Jina, what are you doing?!" I quietly scolded her under my breath.

Jina just gave me a sly smirk. Then a guy who I believe is Jeha, spoke up. "Will you be down for a date, Y/n?" I turned my attention to him and looked at him shyly. "Uhm... Uh..." "It's okay if you don't want to—" "I'll talk to her about it, don't worry, Jeha!" Jina suddenly interrupted and giggled.

Jeha smiled softly and proceeded to talk to his other friends. He was attractive and cute... but not as attractive as Heeseung... God why did he have to be so good looking?! Now I'm comparing him to everyone.

"Jina, let's get more drinks." I stood up and pulled her arm to pull her up and dragged her before she could reply. "What was that?!" "What was what?" Jina asks me, clearly playing dumb. "Nam Jina..." "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I just want you to move on from Heeseung. One date with Jeha wouldn't hurt. Nothing else after that."

Her persuasive words made me think for a bit. She was right, I can't be stuck on this silly crush forever. One date with a cute guy wouldn't hurt.

For the past 30 minutes, I was silently drinking my drink beside Jina. I would only talk if I was talked to, but other than that, I was just clearing my mind. "Jina, do you want more—"

"Y/n?"

My head immediately turned to the direction I heard my name get called from and a foot away from me was Jake. Jake and the boys. Except Jay, Jungwon, and Niki weren't there. I guess Jay and Heeseung haven't made up yet.

"Jake?!" I stood up and called his name out in surprise. The boys walked over and waved. "What are you doing here?" "Just... having fun, with Jina and uh," I turned around and looked at Jina's friends, "and her friends. You?" "Sunoo wanted to hang out but uh... only a few of us could make it," Jake replies and awkwardly rubs the back of his neck.

My wandering eyes found Heeseung. He was beside Sunoo and his eyes met mine too. I quickly looked away, breaking our brief eye contact. "Jake, you wanna join us?" Jina asked with eager eyes. Jake looked at me, "Uh—" "We will join you!" Sunoo joined in excitedly.

I didn't want to interact with Heeseung of any sort, so I had to get away, quickly. "Jina, wanna dance?" "Huh—" "Okay, let's dance," I quickly cut her off and dragged her to the dance floor. I started dancing to get my mind off of things.

"I'm gonna kill you," I hissed at Jina. "I came here to forget Heeseung, not think about him!" "Sorry... I got too excited..." Jina apologized and looked at me with pleading eyes. I sighed and continued to jump around, dancing with her.

"Here's my cue to leaveee," Jina sang and slowly danced away, leaving me puzzled. "Hey." "Oh, hey, Jeha," I greeted him back with an awkward smile. "Wanna dance?" I could tell he was trying to be nice and bring the mood up. I nodded and danced with him.

Jeha was a nice guy. He easily made things less awkward between us so that made things easier for me. I guess he's a mood maker. But despite having a fun time out on the dance floor, I was able to see a girl from Jina's friend group all over Heeseung. I don't have a say in this but still, it made me annoyed.

Fine, two can play that game. I wrapped my arms around Jena's shoulders, catching him off guard. "Just have fun!" I spoke up loudly. I saw his cheeks flush pink. The moment I saw Heeseung's gaze look over at me and Jeha, I couldn't help but feel satisfied. His stare was cold. I looked away and smiled at Jeha, fueling the fire.

After some time, we sat back down at the crowded group at our table. Jina looked at me with an obvious smirk, which earned an eye roll from me. Jina clapped her hands together looking rather excited.

"Jeha! I forgot to tell you, Y/n agreed to go on a date with you!" My eyes widened in shock. "What?" I heard Jake and Heeseung say out loud. I couldn't care less if anyone heard but it just felt weird because Heeseung was right there. I sat there frozen and awkwardly, but Jina's friends were all "ouu-ing" and "ahh-ing."

Heeseung and Jake both cleared their throats, causing Jina to giggle. It was way too awkward for me here and I felt rather... uncomfortable. "I'm gonna use the bathroom," I stood and excused myself.

I needed to escape for a moment because I could not handle all of that. Why did Heeseung even react to me having a date? Why should he care? And Jake was probably taking over Jay's role of being protective tonight. or something...

I sighed and dried my hands after washing them, but I was surprised to see Jake waiting outside. "Jake, this is the ladies bathroom," I joked, folding my arms. My comment earned a chuckle from him. "I was waiting for you silly." I smiled sheepishly at his words.

"I'm not a baby, you know. I can go to the bathroom myself." Jake laughed and shoved his hands in the pocket of his jacket. "So... you going on a date?" I hummed in agreement. "Yeah, he's Jina's classmate or something." "With a stranger?" Jake asks and raises his eyebrow. "Well... I refused at first but Jina was practically begging for me to go and claimed it'll help me 'clear my mind' or something," I replied and quoted Jina's words with my fingers.

"Don't go then."

I slightly tilted my head to the side. "You don't want me to go?" Jake looked away shyly. Well— Ah, Nevermind," Jake quickly dismissed and turned around to walk away. Hm, odd... I followed behind him and we sat back down with the group and chatted.

I have to admit, having Jake, Hoon, and Sunoo here made me talk some more. I felt a bit more comfortable talking casually and drinking. Though I didn't know if this alcohol was helping me distract myself from looking at Heeseung or doing the complete opposite. I always found myself staring at him and then getting pissed that some girl is all over him and he doesn't give a damn. On top of that he doesn't even bother to look at me. It's as if we are total strangers. Jerk. He's acting like he didn't take my ability to walk.

"Jake keeps looking at you," Jina whispers to me. I rolled my eyes, knowing she was trying to imply something. I drank my drink and ignored her silly words. I reached my arm out to refill my drink, but Jeha was quicker than me and poured more for me.

"Thank you, Jeha." He smiles back at me. I saw Heeseung scodd in the corner of my eye. The hell is he scoffing for. The audacity this man has is unbelievable.

"Y/n, can I talk to you for a sec?"
