A Bet - S01 E37

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 37

Mary’s POV

The plane finally landed in South Korea and I couldn’t help but breath in Korea’s air.

This place is really beautiful, I wish I was born here. No wonder why Koreans have beautiful and sp-otless skin.

I mean, who wouldn’t have a great skin in this kind of beautiful atmosphere?

I took my luggage and looked around for a cab. Luckily for me, I found one and he needed just one more pa-ssenger.

“Good day mister. Please, can you drive me to the nearest hotel?”

“Sure! But I have to drop this people off first.” he said apologetically

“No qualms sir”

He kept my luggage in the car and I got in also. After he dropped the pa-ssengers, he drove me to a hotel like he promised to.

“Thank you” I said bowing a little before giving him his money

The hotel was beautiful, not too big though but it had a nice view.

I hope I enjoy my stay here.

The first thing I need to do now is send evidences to someone that Min Ju is behind Khloe’s leaked nu-de pictures.

I don’t know what Min Ju has in sto-re for me but I’m going to make sure I enjoy the little time I have left and exp-ose her throu-ghsomeone.

Aubrey’s POV

The detective I asked to carry out a background check on Jae in called me last night. He said he has sent the necessary things about him that I need to know to my mail but I was too tired last night so I guess I will check it when I come back from school.

I walked to the bus stop, took a cab and headed to school.

“How are you doing today, Khloe?” I walked up to her and asked her when I sighted her.

“I guess i feel better than yesterday. The mockery from the students has reduced and I’m sure the topic will die down before next week.” she said with a small smile

“Alright. Don’t think about it okay? You’re a fighter and you will surely scale throu-gh” I a-ssured her

“Thanks Aubrey” she said and pulled me into a hug

“Errm errm!! What am I missing here?” we heard Natalie’s voice behind us

“A lot of things” Khloe said with an eye roll

“Whatever. Let’s go to cla-ss”

“Bookworm” Khloe muttered

“What did you say?” Natalie asked her with a ha-rd glare

“Nothing”

“Better” Natalie rolled her eyes at Khloe before we all went to cla-ss

I’ve got cute but crazy friends.

Liam’s POV

I’m not taking this plan seriously. I should have been done with Aubrey now so we can move to another bet.

I will make sure I move on to the next level today unfailingly.

Closing time

School closed for the day and I consider this the perfect time to talk to Aubrey.

I walked up to her before she could get into the car with Khloe and Natalie.

“Aubrey please I have something to discuss with you. Pardon my manners! Good afternoon”

“Afternoon. Whatever you have to say can wait till tomorrow, I’m leaving with my friends” she said and turned around to leave but I stopped her

“Are you upset with me?”

“No. Why would I be upset? I just want to go home”

“Please…..” I pleaded with my cute puppy face that walks on every lady

“Fine then” she groa-ned

“Khloe, Natalie, I’m sorry guys but we won’t be going home together. Liam wants to discuss with me” she said apologetically to Khloe and Natalie.

“It’s okay” Natalie responded but Khloe just drove off without a word.

“Thanks” I said to Aubrey on our way to the school garden

“You’re welcome but please don’t take much of my time, I have to be home early”

“Sure”

I just have to play my cards well.

“So what do you want us to talk about Liam?” Aubrey asked when she noticed I wasn’t saying anything

“Errm…. I… I really don’t know how to say it” I stuttered nervously

“Ohh Liam! You deserve an award for being a perfect artist” my subconscious said but somehow, I feel like what I’m about to confess to her is real and not because of the bet.

Come off it Liam! Go ahead with your plan and win the bet as always

“I don’t un-derstand. What’s making the almighty Liam stutter?” Aubrey asked clearly confused

“Uhhm…. The thing is, I like you Aubrey and I want you to be my girlfriend” I said trying my best to avoid her gaze but when I didn’t hear from her, I took that as a cue to look at her.

She was staring blankly at me with an unreadable expression. Why is she looking at me like that?

“Aubrey” I called snapping her out of her thoughts

“Sorry, can you please repeat what you said?”

“You mean you didn’t hear a word I said?” I asked with a small frown

“Sadly, yes! But I’m sorry, I will listen carefully now”

“Okay. I said I like you” I said staring at her face this time

“Ahh…. Yeah! I mean, I like you too and that’s why we’re friends” she said nervously

“Aubrey, you know what I’m talking about. I mean I don’t like you as a friend, I love you” I explained

“You.. love me?” she stuttered

“Yeah”

“But how come? I mean, we just recently became friends so how can you love me?” she asked not believing me

“I also don’t know Aubrey but I know I really do love you”
