Never in my life I thought I would be standing in front of the lecture hall of the business department. My hands were continuously fiddling with each other while my eyes darted at the door of the room which was closed.

My heart was accelerating at an uneven pace while I felt anxious. I needed to confront that guy.

To clear up everything.

I don't know why I was desperate to give an explanation to Heeseung, maybe I was afraid.

Afraid of being seen as a wicked person in his eyes or maybe afraid of losing him.

I was so occupied by whatever happened yesterday that I couldn't sleep properly and the first thing I wanted to do after coming to campus was confronting him. To make all those misunderstandings clear from my side.

Finally the bell rang and in seconds a crowd of students rushed out of the room. My eyes looked for just a particular figure among all the people. One by one every person came out of the room but I could still not find him.

After a minute of waiting I realised the room was now almost empty as the professor also walked out making me frown. I peeked inside but found no one.

Did he skip his classes today?

Roaming my eyes in the corridor to see if I somehow missed him due to the crowd but yet no glimpse of him. My heart sank in my chest a wave of emotions flowing inside me in the silence.

“Kim Haerin?” I heard a familiar female voice behind me which caused me to turn around only to see Jiyeon standing right in front of me. One of her brows raised, scanning me from up to down before I heard her scoffing at me.

Greeting my teeth I clenched on my fist ready to walk past her but what she said next made me halt on my spot. My eyes darted on her face that had a smug smile now.

“So you also earned the title of Heeseung's new toy?” I felt blood rushing through my veins, rage slightly taking over me, burning my whole body. Her words sting like a needle to my ears.

“There is nothing like that. Just because you have that title doesn't mean everyone has one, Park Jiyeon!” I retorted angrily but the girl didn't get affected at all. Instead, she laughed, clicking her tongue as if mocking me.

“At Least I know the truth unlike you, Haerin. Let me guess, Heeseung hasn't told you the truth yet, did he?” She smirked, her puzzling words made my brows to shoot up in confusion. The girl folded her arms across her chest, enjoying the reactions of me.

“What do you mean? What truth did Heeseung hide from me?” I asked, the curiosity and desperation building up in me. Taking a step forward Jiyeon looked straight into my eyes, the mockery and hatred for me perfectly visible in them

“Do you really think Heeseung approached you because you were attractive to him? Do you actually think that he likes you, Haerin? If you do, then you are living in the biggest lie of your life because....”

“You were just a dare to him from the start.”

I felt like the ground disappearing underneath me as if time stopped and something inside me crashed into pieces. My ears were still trying to differentiate if what I heard was indeed the truth or if this girl was playing another mind game with me.
