Fake Love (Jaemin X Female Reader)

6. Game On Mina

I turned back to Jaemin and saw him glaring at the group of girls who were busy gossiping. When I turned to look at the girls again they had already left.

I sighed in relief and looked back at Jaemin, giving him a look of gratitude. He was still staring at the spot that the girls were, so he didn't see the grateful look I gave him.

He looked like he was in deep thought as he stared at the spot for a couple seconds. Once he snapped back to reality he looked back at me.

"Did those girls just say you were the one who cheated?"

I nodded my head and bit my lip. I don't think I should talk just in case another group of girls decide to show up and take this out of context.

"That's bullshit!" He suddenly shouted causing me to flinch. "I saw Mina fucking Felix, I know you weren't the one who cheated."

Wait, he also saw Mina and Felix last night? But how? I don't even remember seeing him upstairs.

"Yeah, well there's a rumour going around that I was the one who cheated on Felix, and most importantly that I cheated on him with you." I sighed, momentarily stopping before continuing, "I think we should call off this deal. It's only going to make things worse."

Before I knew what was happening or I before I could protest, Jaemin had grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the basketball court. He kept dragging me in silence until we were at the side of the school building, that was quite a distance away from the school's sports fields.

I kept my head low, not wanting to meet Jaemin's potential deadly glare. He stayed silent as he stood in front of me with his hands in his pockets.

The longer the silence stretched for, the quicker my heart would ram against my chest. The suspense was killing me. I didn't know if he was going to agree with what I said or if he was going to be mad, and that was driving me nuts.

Still nothing. I finally broke the silence when I realised that he probably wasn't going to say anything soon, and I'm sure the bell was going to ring soon.

"Are you going to say something?" I said in a low tone, still hanging my head low.

"I will once you look me in the eye."

Should I? I didn't know if it would be a good idea. I don't know what will happen if I do.

I shook the negative thoughts away and hesitantly look up at Jaemin, meeting his eyes. They weren't cold or heartless at all. He was staring softly at me, his face had no trace of anger.

Instead, he was looking at me with soft eyes and a saddened expression.

"Are you okay?"

His sudden question and concern took me off guard. My eyes widened and my mouth gaped open slightly with the shock. Honestly, I didn't know he would care about how all this made me feel.

"Honestly... I'm pissed off, as well as hurt. Mina blamed me for you breaking up with her and made a scene in front of half the class. And after that, false rumours started to spread around school about me, and not a single one is correct. I'm pissed off that I was blamed for something I never did, as well as rumours going around that is totally destroying the image I had built for years. I'm hurt that people would actually believe that I would ever want to steal my sister's boyfriend. I've never even thought about it, but obviously, she has."

A tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away with my hoodies sleeve.

I've never given anyone in this school any reason to hate me. I've always kept my head down and kept silent. That was the only way I knew I would survive without getting hurt.
