A Smile That Hides Pain (Karina x Male Reader)

Micah Bell Sends His Regards

Narrator POV

"You sure you're okay?" Karina asked Y/n. Despite what she told him, he'd stayed silent while they walked through the mall. "I will be." He said as they walked. Soon enough, they found everyone else sitting at some tables, eating McDonald's. 

"Save some for us!" Karina said as she and Y/n walked over. "We already got some for you lovebirds." Hyunjin said as he handed them each a bag of food. "Having sex in the bathroom is crazy." Han said, causing Y/n to laugh his ass off and Karina turned redder than a tomato. "We didn't do that! I just waited for him!" Karina retorted. "Y/n didn't deny it." Han said. "Because he's dying of laughter!" Karina interjected. "Aw! Aw, shit. Oh man, that's great. No, we did not have sex." Y/n said, trying not to laugh again. 

"Now that the lovebirds are here, can we go into the arcade now?" Han said. "Sure, guys go ahead. I'll just watch until I get done." Y/n said before shoving a handful of fries in his mouth.

As everyone else got up to go to the arcade that was across from the table, Y/n and Karina sat there, eating their food. They really weren't helping to prove they weren't dating because it definitely looked like they were on a date.

"Who was that man?" Karina suddenly spoke when she swallowed a piece of her cheese burger. "What man?" Y/n asked. He had guessed that she meant Arthur, but really hoped she didn't. "The guy in the black hat and brown coat. I saw him hand you a letter." Karina said. This was exactly what Y/n was afraid of. She'd seen Arthur and he really didn't have a good lie to tell. 

"Believe it or not, the mail man. I dunno why he was dressed like an 1800s cowboy or why he showed up on a motorcycle, but he just gave me some mail to give to my parents." Y/n lied.
"Mail that you opened and read?" Karina asked with a slight smile. "Iwaaasscurroiious." Y/n spoke, mouth full of fries. Karina laughed at his muffled speech as he tried to swallow the fries.

"I was curious." Y/n finally said after swallowing the fries. "I'm not judging, Mr. Iwaaasscurroiious." Karina said and started laughing again and Y/n blushed before eating some of his cheese burger.

Suddenly, Karina noticed Yuqi and Kai walk into a clothing store. She would've brushed it off, assuming they were siblings or something, but they were holding hands. Just to be safe, she decided to check it out. She quickly stood up after finishing her food and excused herself, under the pretense of getting gifts for her friends.

After walking to the clothing store, she scoured the store for the two. While Karina was suspicous of Yuqi, she hoped, for Y/n's sake, that the girl wasn't a cheater. She went to the changing rooms and heard muffled sounds on the other side. She tried to open the door, but obviously, it was locked.

"Occupied!" She heard two voices yell from the other side. She knew she wasn't strong enough to kick a door open, but she did have an idea that could work. She took her phone and hovered it over the door and recorded the two of them. After keeping it there for a few seconds, she looked at the recording.

They were kissing. Like a full on make-out session. They were even getting to the point of undressing each other.

"You dirty bitch!" Karina said as she watched the recording. "K-Karina?" Kai asked from the other side of the door. She ignored him and went back to tell Y/n.

"Y/n!" Karina said as she ran to the table and saw him finishing him burger. "Yeah? Wait, where'd you go?" He asked. "That's irrelevant. I need to tell you something." She quickly said as she walked over to him.

"Karina, wait. It's not what it looks like." Kai said as he ran after Karina, followed by Yuqi. Y/n looked at the two of them and saw that Kai had make-up smeared around his lips. And so did Yuqi. And Kai's shirt was only half buttoned, like he put it on in a rush.

"No..." He said as he got up and looked at her.

"Don't act shocked. You already cheated on me." Yuqi spoke. "No, I didn't." Y/n retorted. "Then how do you explain this?" She said as she handed him her phone. It was a picture of Y/n and Karina when they were eating earlier. 

"Kai showed it to me." She said.

"We were fucking eating. JUST EATING!" Y/n said. "And she just happened to be laughing!" Yuqi yelled. "Guess YOU just happened to be the neighborhood thot!" Y/n yelled back.

Yuqi looked a little undecided. Despite the 'evidence' she had, Y/n didn't confess. "Did you really not cheat on me?" She asked with narrowed eyebrows. "No, I didn't. But your tiny ant-sized brain was so insecure and jealous that you believed this shithead instead of, at least, coming to me to ask me if it was true." Y/n spoke. Yuqi's face dropped and she reached her hand out, but Karina smacked it away. "You need to leave." She said.

"Karina..." Kai began, but couldn't find the words.

"Both of you, just get lost. Trash likes garbage, you two were made for each other." Karina said before taking Y/n's hand and leading him away before a fight could break out.

Y/n noticed Karina was about to speak. "Please don't say I told you so." He said. "I was going to ask if you were okay." She responded. "No, not really. I know we didn't date for very long and I shouldn't be so torn up about this, but..." Y/n stopped as they kept walking back to the arcade.

"Whoa, who pissed in your cereal?" Han asked as he saw Y/n and Karina walk into the arcade, both of them having sour expressions on their faces. "What happened?" Haerin asked. "Yuqi cheated on me with Kai." Y/n simply said. Hyunjin quickly went to hug him since he knew he was upset by it. 

"I'm sorry bro. You okay?" He said. "I'll be fine, I just wanna go back to the resort." Y/n said. "It's alright." Haerin said as she hugged him too.

As they walked back to the resort, Karina was holding Y/n's hand to comfort him. He was clearly torn up about it and she wanted to help him as best as she could.

*buzz buzz*

Y/n hesitantly got his phone from his pocket and checked the notification. It was a text from Yuqi.

Yuqi
Y/n?

Y/n❤️
You got 10 seconds before I block your number.

Yuqi
Y/n, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I saw that picture
and I went off the rails. I'm so sorry.

Y/n❤️
That's it? All you have to say is you went
off the rails because of a fucking picture?
We didn't even kiss, we just ate together.
The LEAST you could've done was text or call
to ask me about it

Y/n❤️
But you didn't even do that.

Y/n❤️
Instead, you went and had a make-out session
with the same prick who shoved me through a
window.

Y/n❤️
Karina was right about you. She warned me from the start
and I didn't listen. She told me you'd break my heart
 and you did just that. I trusted you.
Won't be making that mistake again.

And with that, Y/n blocked her number and pocketed his phone again. "That was her, wasn't it?" Karina asked. "*sigh* Yeah. I just want to watch a movie or do something to get my mind off of this." Y/n said as they got to the resort.

The moment he walked in, he just walked over to the couch and rag dolled onto the couch like earlier.

*knock knock*

"I'll get it." Hyunjin said as he walked over to the door and opened it. 

There was a delivery guy holding a small box. Long blond hair and a blond beard that didn't have a goatee. The guy also had a scar on his chin.

"Package for Kang Y/n." He said. "Hang on, gimme a sec." Hyunjin said before leaving the door cracked open. "Y/n, it's for you." Hyunjin said.

Y/n slowly got up and walked over to the door, but when he opened it, he saw an all too familiar face and revolver aimed at him.

"Micah?"

"Miss me?

BANG BANG BANG
