UNTOLD LIE: LOVE AND HATRED.

The ball

"Sujin, hurry up, we'll be late for the ball" Said Bahyyih.

"Okay, okay I'll be out in a sec" I said trying to put on the dress. When I finally walked out of the closet, Bahyyih looked like she saw a ghost. "What? Is it that ugly? I told you that the blue one was better. Let me go change" I said. Before I can even take a step out of the room, Bayyiy held my wrist.

"What are you talking about? You look gorgeous."

I smiled and hugged her tight. Ricky's family supported financially and put a roof over my head when my parents died. But Bayyih was there for me every single step of the way and I will forever be grateful to have her as a friend.

"By the way, you know who'll be their?" She asked. I looked at her and shook my head in confusion. "Jiwoong '' She said with an excited tone. I rolled my eyes and pretended that I didn't care at all. I do care. A lot. "Don't pretend that you don't care. I know that ou do."

"No I don't" I said. I lied.

"Yes you do and you can't convince me otherwise." She said. I knew that I couldn't change her mind so I just sighed and started putting on my shoes. She giggled and said "You still like him" in an amusing tone

I roll my eyes and say"Let's go, we're already late."

When I got to the venue, it was beautiful. It looked like a scene from a fairytale. The decoration matched perfectly with my outfit. Me and bahiyyih took our corner and sat peacefully when suddenly, people started looking on the opposite direction and started whispering. When I look back, I see him. Jiwoong. But what catches my eyes the most was the girl that was with him.

I tap a random person on the shoulder and ask "Who's the girl with Jiwoong"

They shrug and say "I don't know, must be his girlfriend"

I'm such an idiot. Of course he'll have a girlfriend. I mean look at the guy. He's handsome, smart, funny, he's all you want in a guy. I felt Bahiyyih patting my back to comfort me.

I was staring into midair when I felt someone tapping me. I look up to see Jiwoong and his girlfriend. "You clean up nice," he said. Butterflies took over my stomach.

"You too" I say with an awkward smile. I look at the girl next to him "Is that your girlfriend?" I ask him. I know that it's obvious but I just wanted to make sure.

"What? Her? She's my twin sister, Yunjin. You guys know each other" He says

All of a sudden, memories start coming back to me. I was a freshman and Jiwoong invited me to his party. He introduced her to me then but I was so sick I didn't really pay attention. As the memories start coming back to me, my world lightens up.

"Oh yeah" I say "It's nice to see you again, Yunjin ''I say hugging her. I was about to say something to her when someone tapped her and she turned around. It was a freshman. I think her name is Eunchae or something. She excuses herself and leaves me and Jiwoong alone.

The silence was awkward and I don't dare to break it. Suddenly, a slow music started playing. He reaches for my hand "Do you wanna dance" he asks me

I nod and give him my hands. Before I step on the dance floor, I turn back to see Bayyih taking pictures of me and Jiwoong. She gives me a thumbs up and signals me to turn back to Jiwoong.

I put my hands on his neck and he puts his hand on my upper waist. People that are watching us without knowing us must think that we're dating. We were at a safe distance but yet, I felt like we were inches away.

"So who are you sharing a dorm with?" He asks me. He's so popular that he knows everyone and everyone knows him.

Before I can even get words out of my mouth, someone puts their arms around me and points at themselves. Ugh. What does he want?

He points at himself and says "Me"

"Ricky?" says Jiwoong. He turns to me and says, "You're sharing a dorm with him?"

I nod and push Rickys hands off my shoulders. He grins with amusement.

Three of us go to the food bar to grab a snack or something. Honestly, I'm not that hungry but I needed to eat something. The only thing I eat today was a bag of chips before dance class.

Then someone stands next to Jiwoong. I notice that it's Bob, he was in my class last year but we weren't really that close. "Hey" he says. We all greet him and started a conversation.

"Hey, do you want a drink" says Bob interrupting the conversation that we were having. I can see Ricky giving him a dirty look and strengthens his jaw like he was about to punch him.

"Yeah sure" I say. I drink the juice that he handed me. Just when I finish drinking the juice. He reaches for my hand and asks me to dance with him. I really didn't want to dance but at the same time, I didn't want to be mean. I nod and we head over to the dance floor.

He put his hands on my back and we started dancing. I can feel Rickys eyes over here. What is he looking at? I ignored him and just continued dancing with Bob.

Suddenly, I felt weak. Everywhere. I was trying not to pass out but at the same time, I felt Bob's hand traveling lower down my waist.

Shit. The drink that he gave me.

I don't have the power to fight back or do anything, actually.

Immediately, I felt another hand around my lower waist. I look over to see Ricky. Normally, I would kick him in the guts but now, I was fighting not to fall asleep.

Ricky was towering me and says "Let's go babe" I nod then Bob stands in front of us.

"Oh sorry, I didn't know that you guys were a thing"

"Well now you do dick-head" says Ricky. I've never seen him this pissed before.

He's still holding on to my waist when we're walking out.

The moment we get out of the venue and no one was at sight, I collapse into his hands.

I try and getting up he says "It's okay, relax" He lifts me up and the next thing I know, am in his bed
