His Secret Girlfriend

➺CHAPTER SIX

Jae's pov

It's finally Kayla's birthday party. Haneul fetched me from home and we went together. I insisted on going to Kay's house earlier but she declined my offer saying that the her council friends are helping.

I wore the green dress that I bought the other day. I was so distracted by all the events and forgot to get Kay a present. In the end, I just painted a picture of the three of us. It wasn't really much but that's all I could think of.

Its loud and there's a lot of people from our school here. We bumped into Kay and wished her happy birthday and went to her room for awhile. I handed her present and felt a little guilty because of how last minute it is.

"Sorry, it's nothing much." I apologized.

"That's alright. Your presence and oppa's presence is the best birthday gift ever!"

"Alright! Group hug!" Haneul said excitedly. Idiot Haneul got too excited which made us fall on the floor.

After we got up, we left the room since Kay had to be in the party. Haneul and I walked around and grabbed food for ourselves and sat in the tree house which Kay's dad had built for us. After we're done eating, I climbed back down to get drinks for Haneul and I. I entered the house through the back door and made my way to the kitchen.

I got the drinks and made my way out of the house. But on my way there, I saw Sehun leaning forward to kiss Hana. I saw everything yet I couldn't do anything to stop him. To stop them. I have never felt this heartbroken before. I wanted to cry but it felt like there's hundreds of knives on my throat. My hands felt clammy which made me drop the drinks.

Someone grabbed my hand from the back and pulled me to face that person. It was Haneul. He then took me home. He was about to enter my room when I stopped him.

"I'm sorry I just want to be alone. Just this time. Please."

Haneul's pov

After she locked the door, I just couldn't move away. But if that's what she wants at the moment, I'll leave her to it. I looked at the door wistfully for the last time before going down the stairs and saw her parents confused faces. Dae Han's wearing his earpiece listening to something which I assumed he can't listen to our conversation.

"I thought she'll be back tomorrow?" Her mum asked.

"Right..." And I began explaining to them what had happened.

Jae's pov

Not long after Haneul left, someone knocked my room and I opened the door. It's mum. Mum sat on my bed and said "If he's not the one, let him go. You are still young. And pretty too, thanks to me. Why not go for Channie instead?"

Mother, I really want to hit you with my pillow. Well she said Chanyeol because she frequently went to Chanyeol's mum's cafe and they got close somehow and that's how we got close too, somehow.

Monday. It's an uproar. Everybody knows. Everybody saw. There's some of Sehun fans who waited outside of school and protested. I heard that the company said that they're not in the right state of mind due to the 'party' blah blah blah and that Sehun will reflect on his action yada yada yada.

Haneul and Kay have been constantly checking on me to see if I'm okay and all. Even exo members tried to talk to me but I managed to avoid them,  I just don't want anything that had got to do with them for now.

He didn't bother to explain. He didn't even want to approach me. He didn't even feel guilty.

Days passed by and it's still the same. Sehun and I are not on talking terms and it's breaking my heart that we're not talking to each other. Sometimes the members would call me and asked me to sit with them during lunch but I had to reject them since Sehun would be there and I don't want to talk to them. I don't even want to face him.

Haneul and I's practice were halted for awhile. But we're even closer than before. He's even trying his hardest to cheer me up. Kayla would come round and helped too.

I visited Dae Hyun alone on a Saturday morning. I didn't know why of all places I went to the empty grave. I felt stupid. Talking alone and crying alone out there.

I was crying until someone offered their handkerchief. I took it and wiped my tears away. I wanted to return back but the person is not there.l anymore. I looked at the hankerchief that has the person's initial. S.D.H

My phone buzzed in my pocket.

Meet me at the usual cafe.

It was by Kris. It's been a while since we talked ever since that incident. I wanted to say no as I really don't want to talk to any one of them. But I decided to meet him anyway.

I walked to the usual seat at the back as I saw him wearing his usual hoodie.

"Ge, there's no point and you're wasting your time." I used Kris' nickname.

At this point of time. I really don't know even know where Sehun and I stand.

"I..." He said as he looks up. No freaking way. Kris set me up.

My tears began to form again and my heart aches every time I see him.

"I'm really sorry Jae. My feelings were mixed up and I just... I'm sorry." Well he apologized but it felt like bricks toppled over me.

"Us, let's take a break from each other until our feelings are really sorted out and we'll see from there. I'll see you around." I said without crying, thankfully.

Though I slightly felt betrayed by Kris, I'm glad and thankful that I got to relay what I wanted to say.
