The bet

Ch.9

Chaeyoung's POV

Morning came,my bed seems so empty. I could only feel the cold air entering my room through the window. Jennie's warm cuddles was now gone.

When I opened my eyes, I was right that he had already left. But I'm still hoping that maybe she's just down, eating her breakfast already.

So I immediately made my way downstairs to check if Jennie is there,but I only found my mom cooking. My mom notice my presence and she give me her most precious smile.

"Morning princess" I made my way towards my mom and give her a kiss on her cheeks. "Good morning mom" I greeted back.

"By the way Chae,Jennie left earlier,around 5:30 I guess?" What?! Sobrang aga naman ata?

"Did he tell you the reason mom?" I asked

"Yeah, she needs to go home early so she can prepare for school" Oh yes, there is school today, why didn't I think of it right away?! "TURKEY CHAEYOUNG-AHH!!"  I mentally cursed myself.

"So you better get prepared for school too,if you don't want to get late" Mom said while pinching my cheeks.

"Mom stop it hurts" I pout and she giggled "Alright mom I'll take my shower. Tirahan mo ko ng toast okay? I'll just eat after I take my bath"

Mom hummed as a response, and I hurried upstairs to take my shower.

While i'm taking my shower,I remembered all what happened last night.

*flashback*

It's already 2 in the morning until I heard Jennie mumbling something while her eyes still closed. Nananaginip siya.

"I think i'm falling for you Chaeyoung" I gasped then smiled sadly. Of course cause it's just dream.

Why do you have to bet and everything that happens is only in Jennie's dream? Why is it not true?

I keep all those thoughts run in my mind until I fell asleep again.

*End of flashback*

"Arrrghhh! Park Chaeyoung! Can you just stop?!" I mumble to myself and continue taking my bath.

After taking my bath, wearing my uniforms and grabbing my things, I immediately went downstairs to have breakfast. But I didn't stay long, I have to leave immediately, I'm running out of time.

"Goodbye princess take care! Get home early!" My mom said "Yes mom,goodbye,love you!"

After I left the house, I immediately called a cab to ride. After 30 minutes of ride, we finally reached the school, I paid the driver the enough money and went out.

Thankfully, when I entered the school, I immediately saw Lisa.

"Chaeyoung-ahh! Good morning chipmunk!" They run towards me giving me a tight hug.

"Good morning monkey and Jisoo unnie" I smiled at them but they gave me a smirk and it made me confused.

"What?" I asked them

"Your mom told us that Jennie stayed the night in your house. How does it feel Chae?" I suddenly blushed.

Mom is so talkative that she doesn't shut up. As I told them everything that happened last night, I couldn't help but smile. I still can't get the cuddles out of my mind, she felt so warm and I felt secure around her embrace.

"O my god! How does her cuddles feel?" Jisoo unnie asked  "Well she's so warm and I felt secure around her embrace. And she suddenly dreamt about me"

"Awww what dream is it Chae?" Lisa asked "While he closed his eyes, he suddenly spoke and said " I think I'm falling for you Chae young " that's right Lisa didn't want to thrill!" I said and they laughed.

"I guess you already have your best night" Jisoo said. Well she's right,that was the best night for me.

We arrived in our room. And Jennie was already there. Sobrang aga niya. Since nung first day na inaya niya akong mag recess kasama niya,she always greets me a "good morning" but this time she didn't greet me or even dare look at me. "Weird"

Jennie's POV

Everything that happened last night, I can't get those things out of my mind. And I get annoyed with myself every time I remember the feeling of his cuddles. As I remember those I found myself wanting to feel her embrace again.

"Fuck it!"

So I decided to sleep early because I didn't want to wake up seeing her smile. It makes like I'm falling for her and I hate it so damn much! Since I arrived at home I decided that I must distance myself from her. So I didn't greet her since she entered the room.

*timeskip*

Recess time came and I'm with my squad now. I know I use to be with my friends everytime like this,but something was missing.

"Oh, why didn't you invite Chae?" Somi asked me

"I'm distancing myself from her. I'm honestly getting annoyed by her everytime she's around and I hate it so much!"  I lied

It was supposed to be: i'm distancing myself from her cause i think i'm falling when she's around.

Of course i won't admit it. Cause this thing is just a bet which i guess the biggest mistake. But i know this is only 2months right?

"Alright, you said, let's go eat?" Nayeon said and we nodded.

When we sat in the spot where we always sit, Chaeyoung and her best friends passed in front of us. But then suddenly my heart clenched a little cause she didn't even look at me, she just looked down. She looks sad. I really wanted to go over her and comfort her but I don't want to swallow my pride. I chose to stay away from him so I have to stand by it.

Chaeyoung's POV

Yes i get it,Jennie was distancing herself from me and I also know what's the reason. She regretted what happened last night,i can't hate her cause i know this is just a bet and it hurts so much. But there's one more reason why she's distancing herself from me.

Since the class this day ended, Mrs.Choi asked me to go to the principal's office cause she needed to review me since the quiz will be held this friday. As i'm walking i saw Jennie,kayakap niya yung lalaki sa kabilang section. I think his name is Kai.

Then the reality sinks in, she has a boyfriend. And now I really really hate myself because I agreed to date him even though I knew that at the beginning it was just a bet.

At ito ako ngayon,nakakulong sa room ko. I didn't even eat my dinner since i arrived,cause i keep on crying again and again. I was hurt,i was hurt so bad. But i still can't hate her.

"Lord please make the day tomorrow fine. Make me smile again please,make this pain gone." I pray before i sleep.
