UNTOLD LIE: LOVE AND HATRED.

Butterflies and him

I was just there, no being able to move and shocked by what he just said. I was staring at him and he was doing the same thing.

"Sujin-" I cut him off.

"Ricky, why the hell would I want to date you?"

"Fake date me" he corrected me.

"Whatever. Ricky, I can't just date you, your support to be my enemy, remember?"

"Sujin, all I need you to say right now is 'yes'. I will explain everything later when we get home" he said.

I looked at him intensely. I hated him ever since my childhood. Ever since my mom introduced me to him when I was 4.

I remember the first time I met him, it was at a play ground. He was playing with Seunghan. My mom walked me over there and Ricky's mom stood up as well. She said with her usual soft voice "Ricky, Seunghan, this is Sujin. I want you guys to be nice to her okay?"

They both responded with "yes!"

When our moms left, I sat on the ground with them. Seunghan offered me a toy but Ricky didn't even bother to say hi. He wouldn't share his toys and he was arrogant. That's when I started to hate him.

Now, I still hate him.

But I've been confused since the first day of school, since the first day in the dorm. And I need to figure out what I'm feeling right now. I need to get my shit in place. So to figure things out, I need to date him...Fake date him.

He was still looking at me. I almost gave in. His eyes were full of sadness and I almost felt bad for him.

God Sujin, get your shit together. Ricky? Really? I shook my head to brush those thought away.

I made eye contact with him again as I gently nodded. A soft smile almost excepted his lips before he cleared his throat and looked at the driver. "George, can you drive us home" said Ricky.

George looked at us through the rearview mirror and smiled "Yes sir" he said. George has been around ever since I knew Ricky. He was kind and soft hearted. He used to bring me toys that his daughter had when she was a kid whenever he knew I was coming over to Ricky's house because my parents never bought me toys. He was like a father that I never had.

The whole way to Ricky's house, we haven't talked at all. With George or with Ricky. When we finally arrived, some maids where out to greet us. Goerge got put first to open the door for Ricky. After Ricky came out, George helped me out of the car. The maids greeted lead us to the dining table where I saw Ricky's parents.

"Sujin, sweetheart" said Ricky's mom.

"Misses Shen" I said with enthusiasm. I went in her arms and hugged her. She's smells good as always. When I caught sight of mister Shen, he didn't look too good. He looked pale and weak.

"Sujin!" He said. But even his greeting was weak. He stood up and I noticed that he lost a lot of height.

One of the maids pulled a chair out for me and I sat down and Ricky sat next to me.

Why would he bring me where after he just asked me to fake date him.

We sat their talking about school, how we're sharing a dorm and how dance class is.
