7. White Lies

[SEOKJIN'S POV]

Should I tell her?

I don't know if it is right to tell her about it.

"See you later. Thank you for your help." She said goodbye after we ate our lunch and we went back to our respective office.

I can't look at her eyes because my conscience is killing me.

[Flashback]

Earlier at the restaurant.

I entered the restaurant to claim Y/n's food.

When I was about to go to the counter. I saw Hanbin sitting at the nearest table near the counter.

I played it cool. I acted like I didn't see him. I was minding my business and the boy on the counter told me that I will wait for 5 minutes for the food that they're preparing.

I wonder if Y/n is here with me, what would she do?

I sit next to Hanbin's table and he still didn't recognize me.

After a minute, a girl sit next to him.

What??? Is that his new girlfriend???

I was so shocked.

Well, It's been months but...

If Y/n would see this situation, I swear she will be really really hurt. I know she still love him.

When they were standing up to go out of the restaurant, the boy at the counter called me.

I hurriedly get the food. I was so worried that Y/n might see them.

"This is not good." I whispered. "I need to act fast."

I took my fastest and biggest steps to go to the door first before them so I can divert Y/n's attention before anything happen.

When I was about to exit, someone called me.

"Excuse me?"

I turn around and look at the person who called me.

"Seokjin hyung." Hanbin said.

"Hey. It's been a while." I told him.

"Yeah. Are you in a hurry?" He asked.

"Ahh. Yes."

"Wait—" He grabbed my shoulder. "Let me ask you a question..."

Here it goes...

"Look, Hanbin." I faced him. "If you're gonna ask how she is, just please stop. You have someone now and I think it's not right to ask how your ex is."

He stopped.

"You're right..." He looked down. "Well, you can have her now."

What??? Is he nuts? Do he really think that Y/n is just a toy that he can play and when he's done playing, he can give it to someone? He is really something.

"You know what?" I am losing my chill. "Y/n is happy on her own now. She don't need anyone to be happy. She don't need me... and especially you. So don't worry about her and do your own thing."

I turn around and hurriedly went back to Y/n outside the restaurant.

"What took you so long?" She asked.

"Well, there's a long line. I had to queue. Let's go." I lied.

[End of Flashback]

I told Hanbin that she's happy now.

Is she really happy?

I don't think so.

These white lies are now creeping in my mind. She will be really hurt if I tell her the truth.

I am very sorry, Y/n. I lied.

He's with someone now.
