Just a Kiss 》WinWin

Eight 》 Telling secrets

Hye Gin's POV:

I began to worry since Hae Soo seemed to be growing more and more suspicious as to why I have been skipping class. If she knew the real reason, she would be so dissapointed, that is why I have no intention of telling her. I know it made me seem like a horrible best friend but I was doing what was best for me. I have always put everyone else first and that is what my problem was. It was time for me to be about me for a little while. I lied to Hae Soo about everything to protect her. She wasn't a bad friend, in fact she was the best one I have ever had and she had never really ignored me, I just wanted her to think that so she wouldn't get so suspicious. The less she knew about the truth, the better.

But in truth, Hae Soo and I had always been bullied and treated different by the popular girls because we seen as lesser than them in every way. I was tired of being treated that way and I knew that Hae Soo was not going to do anything about it so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I had decided to try to fit in with the popular girls. Not only were they the most popular girls in school whom everyone on campus adored, but they also got to hang out with the main frat boys. I had lied to Hae Soo for a long time about my true feelings of those boys, we always talked about how disgusting they were and how much we hated them. I had actually thought that they were very very attractive and I even like three or four of them but my sights are set on one in particular. As I was thinking about these things Mi Na and her gang showed up. "Hye Gin-ah! You're late, again" Ji Su said.

"Sorry, I just had to deal with some things." I said, not feeling like explaining too much and just wanting to meet up with the boys. "You mean that THING again, I thought we told you to stop hanging around with that Hae Soo girl, she is honestly a nobody." Mi Na said as the other girls shook their heads in agreement. I wanted to deny it, thinking of all that Hae Soo and I had been together and the fact that she wasn't actually a bad person but I knew if I said anything, it would ruin all of the progress I had made. "Yeah, sorry about that, I was just telling her off, she keeps trying to talk to me but clearly doesn't see that I am not interested in hearing about her stupid little problems and about her little crush." I said as I gave a disgusted look, earning a smirk from Mi Na. "Wait, so trash has a little crush?" She questioned, giving off an evil glare, signaling that she was up to no good.

The other girls giggled and copied her smile before they waited for me to speak up. "Yeah, she likes someone, actually she likes him a lot but it isn't a big deal" I said as I started walking, wanting to avoid the conversation but instead the followed closely behind. "So, who is it? Come on, just tell us, who does that little girl like" Mi Na said as she laughed sarcastically while the other girls copied once again. I pretended to not hear them since I didn't see why it was such a big deal until Yu Na walked in front of me, stopping me as the other girls walked ahead too. "Alright so if you want to be a part of us you have to tell us everything and we mean EVERYTHING and that is rule one of our group, you should know that by now Hye Gin" Mi Na said as she shook her head and started to walk away, signaling for her gang to follow. I panicked, not wanting to be a nobody again so I decided to get them to come back, which meant I had to do something I didn't want to do. "Wait?!" I yelled, making them all turn towards me as Mi Na smirked and walked back in my direction. "I will tell you" I said as the stopped in front of me, gesturing for me to continue.

"Alright, so Hae Soo likes one of the frat boys" I started. "Oooooo, tell us, which one of those poor boys got her attention?" Mi Na said. "It is Sicheng" I said as I sighed. "That cute foreign exchange student! Didn't he get a nickname or something? What was it? WinWin I think" Mi Ji spoke up excitedly. "Does she really think she has a chance with a boy like that? Or any of them if we are being honest here" Mi Na laughed.

"I know right, he is way out of her league" I agreed before they looped their arms with mine, ready to go meet up with the boys as we began talking trash about Hae Soo. At first, I had felt bad about it but now it was starting to become natural. "So why did you guys want to know so bad?" I asked. "Oh, we are going to embarrass that little bitch" Mi Na said as we continued to walk. "What?!" I said before they got suspicious of my reaction. I coughed awkwardly before talking again. "I mean, why?" I spoke softly. "Hmm, I think her existence is reason enough" she said before laughing loudly.

After we saw the boys in the distance, everyone ran ahead, leaving me behind to think about this, did I make a mistake, telling them about Hae Soo's crush. But then again, it was what I needed to do to fit in and I would do anything for that, even if it meant dropping the best friend I had ever had, besides, I had made plenty of new friends in the process and the possibility of finding a cute boy to date so I didn't see it as much of a loss.
