It's Now or Never

Artificial Love

"I thought that was you," Monica said drying off her hands. 

-FLASHBACK-Monica's POV

This was my first time traveling with Sehun while he was working. I felt elated that he asked me to go with him. We were enjoying ourselves on the flight when I start to feel a little dizzy from the turbulence. I got up to visit the restroom. As I was approaching the door, a young lady with glasses on, bumped me. I thought I recognized her, but she had her head down so I couldn't make out her face. When I went back to my seat, I told Sehun that someone familiar bumped into me, but I didn't know who it was.

After we arrived at the hotel, we were on the elevator to our room. Sehun was playfully kissing me on my neck when the elevator's door opened and all of a sudden, Sehun stopped playing with me. I didn't know what happened. The elevator's door opened again and I felt a sense of relief from Sehun.

After Sehun shoot, we went out to explore the island. I couldn't help but feel like we were being watched. It's Sehun, he's an idol, so I didn't give it too much thought.
Sehun decided he wanted to take a nap before dinner and I wanted to go to the pool area. I sat my bag down next to me and then I got in the water. Next to where I was sitting a girl with a long brim hat sat next to me. The brim of her hat covered her face. I watched as she pulled out her phone and begin to talk. Her laugh...her laugh was familiar. She turned to get up and dropped her phone.

When I was done swimming, I went back to the room. I looked in my bag and couldn't find my key card. I knocked on the door and didn't get an answer. I swear I could hear voices coming from the inside. I finally got in the room and we decided to go out for dinner and dancing.

I absolutely love the club atmosphere in Korea. Everyone danced, the music is lively and I'm not mad at VIP, where you are treated extremely well. I went to the restroom to check my hair and makeup. I looked up at saw a familiar face.

"Having fun?"
"Min Ji."

I knew it was her. The one who had been following us around. The one who stole my key card and the one coming out of my room. But my question was, why didn't Sehun tell me about her.

"How's everything been going? Are you surprised to see me?"

"Everything is wonderful," I said with a big smile on my face. And no, I'm not surprised to see you," I told her, reapplying my lipstick.

"You're not?" she asked with a puzzled look.

"Didn't you bump into me on the plane, and followed us around all day? You even stole my key card!"I raised my voice a little, which shocked Min Ji.

"I'm not going to deny it. I did everything you said I did."
"I don't understand, what's the point in all this?"
"You took Sehun from me and I want him back!"
"You and Sehun weren't together anymore. I wasn't the cause of the break-up."
"You were supposed to be my friend, how could you do this to me?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I tried calling you to talk this over, but you never responded."

Min Ji stood in front of my face and said, "Did you know that I am EXO's stylist and that wherever they go, I go?"

I tilted my head and looked at her, "meaning?"
"Meaning there will be plenty of opportunities for Sehun and me to grow close again."
I looked at her and smirked, "this isn't a drama. I will not allow you to cause issues between the two of us. So I think it would be best for you to crawl back to your corner and leave us alone."

"But haven't I already caused an issue?" She replied as I was about to leave out the door.
