Lost In Her Eyes | Book 3 |

3rd person POV

The night grew darker and people are still coming over to the venue. Music is getting louder, people are getting more drunk, and it's becoming more fun compared to past hours they are all there.

"Let's call our birthday celebrant, Prince Seungmin!" the DJ called and people started cheering

Seungmin went to the mini stage and there is a blue four-tier cake which has a simple design, and a candle that is shaped as the number of his age. Everyone started singing him a happy birthday and people were cheering for him even outside the bar.

"Make a wish!" someone shouted

He did make a wish and blew the candle.

"Speech! Speech!" people started shouting

He had no choice but to talk in front, "First of all I would like to thank everyone who attended this birthday celebration. I wasn't expecting this to be this fun but I'm glad I did this. Of course, my friends who are really busy but still manage to go here. Thank you everyone!"

Everyone started cheering for him once again.

Seungmin had to rent another bar across the venue he first rented to cater the other visitors that arrived for his party. He had to keep coming back and forth to make sure everything is fine and everyone is having so much fun.

"Excuse me, I'll just use the bathroom." Felix said and left the VIP area, while Aina is greeting some friends she saw at the other table

Minho sighed, "I'm sorry for what I said earlier."

"Are you sober?" Hyunjin asked

"I was sober when I said that, I am also sober now that I am apologizing to the both of you." Minho said

"Hyunjin and I are in a relationship?" Chaerin chuckled

"I'm sorry. I know each one of you will find out about things and I just revealed it sooner. Felix is getting married, living in one apartment with Aina, and you... You're hurt. I just hate it." Minho said

"I know you did that for a reason. You could've told us earlier, I would've shown you guys how good I am to play pretend." Chaerin smiled

"Until now I'm still blaming myself for planning such things, making you and Felix meet that night and hide to everyone where you guys at. I'm really sorry. In the end, you lose-" Minho

"Don't worry. I didn't lose anything. I just know and expected this to happen. I knew already he is in an arranged marriage and we will need to let each other go. It just came too soon." she said

"Don't worry, Minho. I'm actually having fun pretending to be this girl's boyfriend." Hyunjin smirked

Chaerin pinched his arm, "You're crazy."

"Am I?" he laughed

Little did they know, Felix is watching them being all clingy and happy with each other but it was a good thing he didn't hear what they talked about. He pulled himself together and went back to his seat as if he didn't see anything.

"Hey, where's Aina?" Chaerin asked Felix

"She just went to some friends, she'll be back in a few minutes." Felix answered casually

Hyunjin put his arm around her shoulder and whispered, "Do you think he will kill me if I acted so clingy and touchy towards you?"

"Go to hell." Chaerin whispered

_________________

Everyone is getting drunk but the venue is still full of visitors. Seungmin wanted to go home but he needs to make sure everything is going well even without him there. Instead, the bouncers from the venue was assigned to make sure no fight will happen since it's a party hosted by Seungmin.

"Should we go home?" Minho asked

"I have to stay for a few minutes." Seungmin said

"Then we'll stay with you." Jisung said as he sat as well as Jeongin

Changbin went home already.

"I'll stay as well." Chan said as he thought Seungmin needed some people

"How about you guys?" Jeongin asked Hyunjin, Chaerin, Aina, and Felix

"Oh. I think we will go home. Chaerin has to sleep early. You know she gets mad when she lacks sleep." Hyunjin jokingly said

Chaerin playfully punched his stomach.

"We'll go home but our driver has some errands to do." Aina said

"I am okay with you guys coming with me but it's out of the way." Minho said

"Maybe we can take them? I mean same building." Hyunjin said

"Are you okay with that?" Felix asked Chaerin

It surprised Chaerin how natural Felix is when he asked those questions for Chaerin.

"Yeah, sure. Of course." Chaerin answered with a smile on her face

They agreed to go home. Minho drove his way home while Hyunjin is driving the car to the apartment they were staying at, Chaerin is beside her, then Felix and Aina are sitting at the backseat.

Hyunjin can feel how nervous Chaerin is knowing that the two are sitting at the backseat, "You guys want to eat some food first? I mean soup. It will help us be sober for a little bit."

Chaerin glanced at Hyunjin but she looked away.

"Yeah. Sure." Aina excitedly answered

"How about you, Felix?" Hyunjin asked

"Yeah. I guess so. I mean where are we going to eat?" Felix asked

"I'll drive around to see." Hyunjin said

He did drive around some block, hoping that they are going to see an open restaurant for a soup but they failed to see one. Chaerin took a deep breath as she doesn't need to be in an awkward situation again-

"I'll just cook for everyone. How about you guys go to Chaerin's apartment?" Hyunjin asked
