Lost In Her Eyes | Book 3 |

Felix's POV

I know I shouldn't have said yes but what can I do? I was asked on the spot. Aina wanted to go, it's okay with Hyunjin and Chaerin. What should I do? Act like some guy who couldn't move on from a girl.

It's really wrong for me to say this but I hate it when I see Chaerin looking well as if she wasn't hurt with what happened to us. Hyunjin and Chaerin are in a relationship? Oh, please.

To be honest, I don't want to believe it but seeing them acting all clingy and sweet towards each other... They look so natural and happy. I can't help but believe what Minho told us. I really don't want to believe him when he said they are living together–

Hyunjin wanted to cook for us in Chaerin's apartment. How can I doubt that? He sounds so confident as if it was his own place. Shit. I can't help but be hurt with what I'm finding out.

"Do you guys want me to drop you off at the main entrance?" Hyunjin asked

"We can wait for you two in the lobby." Aina suggested

"Sounds great." he said and parked the car in front of the main entrance

Aina and I got off and went to the main lobby to wait for them. I wanted to go home and just rest but there's a part of me that wanted to see Hyunjin and Chaerin even more. Maybe if I believe them this time, I will forget her.

"You okay? I'm sorry I had to say yes." Aina said

"It's fine. Don't worry." I said as I assured her it was nothing for her to worry about

A few minutes later, Chaerin and Hyunjin are walking towards us, holding each others' hands. It was like a dart was thrown into my heart when I saw them. I didn't know this would hurt so much.

"Let's go." Hyunjin said

They are leading the way. As we got in the elevator, it was really awkward for me. I mean Aina and I are not really in a relationship, everyone clearly knows that it was just some arranged marriage between us.

We arrived on the floor where Chaerin's apartment is. I am familiar with the place as it has the exact same design as the one on my floor. As we entered her apartment, first thing that caught my attention–

It was house slippers for Hyunjin and Chaerin. He has his own slippers here. I can't help but think that he is really staying here, or he just bought it for him to use while he is playing pretend.

"Sit down." Chaerin told us

Her apartment is fully furnished– everything is here and it wasn't the same as mine. Fuck. Do I have to keep seeing something that will clearly break my fucking heart?

It was a photo of Hyunjin and Chaerin on the side table.

Shit.

"I'll cook for you all." Hyunjin said and went straight to the kitchen, he knew where things were located. He knew where the utensils were, plates, and everything.

"You need help?" Chaerin asked him

"Nope, thank you. If you want, you can watch me cook." Hyunjin chuckled

"You're funny, huh." Chaerin said and jokingly rolled her eyes

I guess playing pretend is their expertise that's why it looked so natural to them.

"Are you enjoying the view?" Aina whispered to me

"More like enjoying the pain."

She chuckled, "Admit it, this is better than avoiding them. It will hurt you but you will be able to see her over and over again."

I smiled.

A few minutes later, Chaerin came to us and brought some coffee to drink. Then she sat on the other sofa across from where Aina and I are currently sitting. She is using the remote control for the air conditioner.

"Minho looked drunk earlier. He kept dropping bombs." Chaerin jokingly said

"Yeah. I guess he thought it would be awkward for the four of us to be there and talk about it." Aina said

"I'm glad he said those things. I mean if we didn't find it out tonight, when are we going to know?"

Chaerin nodded, "I'm sure they would all die if they saw the four of us hanging out. I can feel them glancing at us."

"Maybe they are trying to catch our reactions." I chuckled

"Should we take a picture and send it to them? I'm sure they would talk about this and ask us." Hyunjin said as he joined us

"Where is the soup?" Chaerin asked

"Chill. I just left it for a few minutes. Why are you nag-" Hyunjin

"I'm not." Chaerin said and pinched his arm

"That hurts. Fine. I'll get the soup only if you tell me that I look handsome." Hyunjin

"You are." Chaerin

"What? Say it." Hyunjin laughed

"You're handsome." she rolled her eyes and chuckled

He went to the kitchen.

"I'll hell you." Aina said and followed him

Fuck. Now this is awkward.

"So, you and Hyunjin are in a relationship?"

She looked at me, "Yeah. Congratulations on your engagement."

Kill me right now. I never wanted that. Her greeting is the only one I hate. I don't want her greeting me as if it's fucking fine.

"Are you happy?"

"I am... Hyunjin is really nice and caring. How about you?" she asked

"I am happy that you're happy."
