The bar was bustling and I sat there, chewing on my fingernails anxiously as Amanda sat beside me. I looked around the bar warily, my hand grabbing my phone to bring it up to my face to see that Jeno had sent me a text. My last text with him was that I had to study for finals and Jeno replied with a simple: Sure. See you tomorrow.
I have been with Jeno for one year and a half... ish? I don't remember. I just remember that I have been with Jeno for more than 8 hours a day every single day since he had come back and today would be the first time, I lied to him. To be fair, I only did it because Amanda said she wanted a friend for a double date and I told her that I would help her out. But that didn't stop me from nudging the female, grabbing Amanda's hand, and whispering to her.
"Amanda!" I said, lowering my voice. The boys that came with her had gone to get drinks and I sniffed. "I know this isn't wrong but why does this not feel right?"
"Come on, Bunny! You promised! You told me that you'd help me out—Besides, it's not like you're ever going to see them again. Also, I ditched Suzy for you, remember?" she told me and I chewed on my bottom lip. "Quiet now, they are coming."
I blinked, two very tall men coming to slide onto the bar seats. They had biker jackets and the only thing I knew about them were that they were once students from Pledis Highschool and were now studying at Big Hit University. I licked my lips nervously, the men placing the beer onto the table in front of us, Amanda beaming at them.
"Thanks, Mingyu... and Wonwoo," she said to them and I shook my head, telling them that I didn't drink. Guilt was gnawing me inside out and all I wanted to do was rush back into the safety of Jeno's arms but I really wanted friends and if this was the only way to do it, I would try my hardest. "Uh... Bunny..."
"I'll have coffee," I said and Wonwoo frowned at me.
"This is a bar," he pointed out. It was obvious that Wonwoo didn't want to be here either and he was just there to humor Mingyu who was louder and already drunk. Wonwoo didn't pressure me, the male shrugging nonchalantly and sitting by me when he smirked. "What's a girl like you going on a double date?"
I hated how his voice was, the male reaching out to drag a finger over my arm. I squirmed, passing him a glare. I wasn't dumb. I knew what men thought when it came with double dates. They always thought that those who went on double dates, especially in bars, were looking to get some. I pressed my lips together, telling him the truth.
"I'm taken," I said simply, my eyes darting back and forth when Wonwoo scoffed.
"Looking to cheat on the poor guy?" he asked and I shook my head aggressively.
"No! Nothing of that sort!" I gasped, Amanda chuckling from the side. I looked towards her to see Mingyu nibbling on her earlobe as she squealed. Oh, she loved the attention from him, didn't she? Mingyu was handsome, had to give it to him... But he wasn't Jeno.
