THREE MONTHS LATER

Jisoo's POV

"I'm really tired. I don't think I can come" I said as soon as his eyes fell on me.

"Come on, Jisoo. Don't be such a bore. You've been studying like a maniac for the semester exams, you need to chill out and besides I really need your company tonight" Hyo Seop folded his hand in front of me in with a low smile gracing his lips.

I rolled my eyes at that. "Right. I almost forget about our date"

He grinned. "Perfect. Be ready till eight and don't forget to look beautiful" He said as he stood up intentionally to leave but he immediately halt on his steps and turn to face me. "But I forgot that you're already beautiful"

I chuckled. "Piss off!"

Waving him goodbye, I walked to my dorm. My head will explode if I don't get some sleep. I haven't blinked a sleep in last flurry eight hours. Pudding air out of my mouth, I fell on the bed with my arms wide open and as I tried to fall asleep, i felt not sleepy at all. Not a single piece of satisfaction in me.

When I joined PHD programme, I thought they I'd be busy and happy. It was always my dream to study human genetics but in past three months, I not for once felt any spark. It was dull. I was forcing myself to indulge in classes, complete assignments, study hard.

I clicked my tongue and get up to drink coffee. These days, I'm surviving pretty much on caffeine. I need to ger ready for the date. I promised Hyo Seop to go with him in return of all the things that he had done for me.

I still remember how I met him on the first day of University. He made me smile for the first time in a while by cracking shallowest joked after I almost tripped my food on him accidentally in cafeteria. He's my classmate and pretty much the only nice person I know here.

Taking a shower, I changed myself into a red tight little dress. Jennie had gifted me this dress. It's nice, sluty maybe but it's kind of cute. I need to were this dress for Hyo Seop.

I slipped into heels and with dark lipstick and my hair left open, I sat on the edge of the bed and I don't know for how long I stayed like that when finally I heard the knock on my door. Opening the door, I offered him a small smile. "How am I looking?"

Hyo Seop looked at me, his eyes lightning up in admiration. "Woah! You looks sexy"

"You look fine top" I said, walking towards his car.

"No seriously Jisoo. You look damn! Your Brian hair and tattoos on forearm and man, this red dress, i-i"

"Keep the compliments for later" I laughed to which he simply nodded and drove us to a nice restaurant.

He held my hand and walked inside. We sat on the table that he reserved for us and soon Sejeong came to say on our table.

Her gaze flicker on me briefly before she shifted her attention to Hyo Seop. "You didn't tell me that you are coming with someone else"

Her voice sounded bitter and I couldn't help but chuckle. That'll exactly what we planned, right?

"She's my date for the evening" He introduced me to her and God, the second she heard him say that, her face fell.

"Oh, I see.." she whispered giving me a stare.

"She's pretty isn't she?" Hyo Seop said, leaning in to press a kiss on my cheeks.

I somehow suppressed my urge to roll my eyes at him. He's such a dramatic ass. He practically begged me to go on a fake date with him so that he can make his childhood best friend jealous.
