[ Yoon Jieun's POV ]

Finally, all my classes were over. I couldn't focus during them after hearing about Sohyun’s plan. Part of me wanted to give it a try, but I also didn’t want to. I didn't want to "fake" date Zhang Hao just to get Hanbin's attention. I could date any other guy, right? But Sohyun had a point—Hao is his best friend, so it would definitely affect him, even if only a little.

I was standing in front of my locker, putting my things away until I felt a slight touch on my shoulder. I turned around, seeing Sohyun standing with a grin on her face. She pointed at someone, I followed her way as I looked at that person. It was obviously Zhang Hao, peacefully putting his stuff on the locker. I groaned in annoyance, facing her.

"What do you want me to do?!"

"Just go up to him and talk. Simple as fuck." She shrugged, rolling her eyes.

I shook my head, glancing at him. should i really do it..?

"I'll be waiting for you outside. You better come up with good news!" She blew a kiss and turned around, walking away. I stared at her figure, slowly disappearing. How can she leave me alone in this situation?!

"I'll get that asshole later.." I muttered under my breath.

I took a deep breath as I looked at him again. Glad he's still there. I mentally prayed as I slowly walked towards him.

Why am I even doing this? Am I that desperate? This is wrong.. but I should try.

I calmed myself down as I reached out, slowly tapping his shoulder. He turned around, his mood immediately going down. Damn, am I that bad?

"Look who's here? My favourite rival. What do you want now? Came here to argue?"

What the- No, I need to act nice. I plastered a smile, fake one obviously before speaking.

"Just wanted to see my rival. How are you doing?"

He scoffed, looking back at whatever he was doing, "You know, being nice doesn't suit you. So cut the crap, what do you want?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his words, "Yeah, of course. I wanted to talk about something."

"And what's that?" He asked, completely uninterested.

"Can we talk somewhere private-"

I couldn't even finish my sentence as he suddenly slammed his locker shut, causing me to flinch. What the..?

"Just say whatever you want in here. I don't have much time for your bullshit." He said, turning around to face me.

I swear, he's getting on my nerves right now. I'm being kind and this is what I get in return?!

"Okay, Listen. I know this is weird but hear me out okay?" He rolled his eyes, telling me to continue. I took a deep breath before speaking.

Oh god, this is wrong. I shouldn't be doing this-

"I want you to fake date me."
