Decoy Girlfriend

8: The Ultimate Betrayal

Ji-eun sat in her apartment, her mind racing with frustration and jealousy. She couldn't stand idly by any longer and decided it was time to take drastic measures to reclaim her position and prove her dominance.

Late one night, Ji-eun scrolled through her phone, selecting a series of photos of her and Sky together. These were intimate moments captured during their happier times, meant to be private but now serving as her ammunition. With a determined glint in her eyes, she crafted a post and uploaded the photos to her social media, accompanied by a scathing caption:

"Sky and I have been together for years. Yuna is just a substitute while I focus on my career. The truth will always come out."

The post went viral almost instantly, spreading like wildfire through social media and news outlets. The backlash was swift and brutal, with fans and anti-fans alike taking sides.

Sky was in the middle of a recording session when his phone started buzzing incessantly. He saw the notifications and his heart dropped. "What the hell did Ji-eun do now?" he muttered, excusing himself and heading to a quiet corner to check his phone.

Yuna, on the other hand, was at home when she saw the news. Her heart shattered as she scrolled through the photos and read Ji-eun's cruel words. The pain and betrayal cut deep, leaving her feeling more vulnerable and exposed than ever.

Sky rushed to Yuna's apartment, finding her sitting on the couch, tears streaming down her face. She looked up as he entered, her eyes filled with hurt. "Sky, is it true? Was I really just a substitute? I always suspected..."

Sky's heart ached seeing her like this. He rushed to her side, taking her hands in his. "Ji-eun... she's... She's desperate and trying to manipulate the situation. You were a substitute but... I now care about you deeply."

Yuna looked into his eyes, searching for sincerity. "I want to believe you, Sky. But this is so much to handle. The hate, the threats... it's too much."

As if on cue, there was a loud bang on the door, followed by the sound of something being thrown against it. Sky rushed to the door and opened it to find the remnants of eggs and tomatoes splattered across the entrance. Vandalism and hate mail had become a daily occurrence for Yuna, and it was only getting worse.

Sky's face hardened with determination. "Yuna, this has to stop. You can't stay here anymore. It's not safe. I want you to move in with me. My house has security cameras and is well-protected. You'll be safe there."

Yuna hesitated, the fear and uncertainty clear in her eyes. "But, Sky..."

"No buts, Yuna," Sky interrupted gently but firmly. "I love you, and I can't stand to see you hurt like this. Please, let me take care of you."

Yuna nodded slowly, the weight of the situation pressing down on her.

Within hours, Sky had arranged for a discreet moving service to transport Yuna's belongings to his house. As they drove to his home, Yuna felt a mix of relief and anxiety. She was grateful for Sky's support but couldn't shake the fear of what lay ahead.

At Sky's house, the security measures were immediately apparent. Cameras monitored the perimeter, and a high fence provided additional protection. Sky showed Yuna around, making sure she felt comfortable and safe.

"Thank you, Sky," Yuna said softly as they settled into the living room. "I don't know what I would have done without you."

Sky pulled her into a reassuring embrace. "You'll never have to find out, Yuna. We'll get through this together."

Despite the security of Sky's home, the emotional toll of Ji-eun's actions weighed heavily on both of them. They spent hours discussing their plans, strategizing ways to counter the false narrative Ji-eun had spun.

The next day, Sky decided it was time to address the public directly. He scheduled another press conference, determined to set the record straight once and for all. Yuna stood by his side, her resolve strengthened by Sky's unwavering support.

At the press conference, Sky's voice was firm and clear. "I want to address the recent photos and statements made by Ji-eun. The truth is, those photos were taken during a time when Ji-eun and I were together. But our relationship ended long before Yuna and I became close. Ji-eun's claims that Yuna is a substitute are completely false. Yuna is someone I deeply care about, and our relationship is genuine."

Yuna stepped forward, her voice steady despite the pressure. "I've faced a lot of harassment and threats because of these lies. I ask for your understanding and respect as we navigate this difficult time."

The room was silent for a moment before a reporter asked, "Sky, what's your plan moving forward with Ji-eun and Yuna?"

Sky took a deep breath. "My focus is on protecting Yuna and our relationship. We will be taking legal action against Ji-eun for defamation and harassment. I hope this will put an end to the lies and give us the space we need to heal and move forward."

The press conference had a powerful impact, shifting public opinion and garnering support for Sky and Yuna. Fans rallied behind them, sending messages of encouragement and condemning Ji-eun's actions.

Back at Sky's house, they felt a renewed sense of hope and determination. The threats and harassment didn't stop overnight, but they faced each challenge together, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.

One evening, as they sat on the couch, Sky turned to Yuna, his eyes filled with love. "Yuna, I meant what I said at the press conference. I love you, and I want us to build a future together."

Yuna smiled, her heart swelling with happiness. "I love you too, Sky."

As they embraced, the outside world seemed distant and unimportant. They knew the road ahead would be difficult, but their love and commitment to each other gave them the strength to face whatever came their way.

Ji-eun watched the press conference in her apartment television, her plans unraveling before her eyes. Her desperation had only pushed Sky further away and solidified his relationship with Yuna.
