A Bet - S01 E45

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 45

Aubrey’s POV

I watched as Min Seok walked away without looking back even though he heard me call him.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Liam cooed

I wanted to roll my eyes at him but then again, it isn’t his fault. I’m the confused and selfish one here.

If I had chosen to go with one of them, this wouldn’t have happened.

“Nothing, I’m fine” I replied faking a smile

“Okay. How was your night?” he asked holding my hand and taking slow steps, I figured I had to follow him

“It was fine. Yours?”

“Fine too. Hope you ate before coming to school?”

“Yes”

“Good. So…. I will be waiting for my answer on Friday ….. about you being my girlfriend” he said and I felt my body tense up a little but I quickly relaxed when I remembered he was holding my hand

“O.. Kay” I stuttered a reply

“Alright then. See you at lunch” he said and left while I released the breath I didn’t know I was holding

Min Seok’s POV

I watched Liam and Aubrey as they held hands and walked slowly like couples. They look cool together so I guess it’s high time I give them space.

I’m not even sure of my feelings for Aubrey yet. Besides, even if I was sure, the last thing I want to do during my stay in this school is fight over a girl.

I know what I mean to my mom and I wouldn’t want to send the poor woman to her early grave.

“Hey Seok!” Min Ju called from behind and I turned to smile genuinely at her for the first time.

From now on, I’m going to forget about Aubrey and focus on Min Ju. I might not even date her until I leave this school but at least, being friends with her won’t be a problem like my friendship with Aubrey is.

“How are you doing Kim?” I responded addressing her with her surname for the first time and I didn’t fail to miss the shocked look on her face

“Wow! Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today? You’re smiling genuiely at me and also treating me differently. What’s the secret because I’d definitely do anything at all for you to continue with this behaviour everyday” she asked making me feel a bit guilty

“There’s no secret Min Ju. I just realized I’ve not been a good friend towards you and I’m really sorry. Can we start over again?” I asked with utmost sincerity

“Ohh my goodness” she exclaimed covering her mouth. She was obviously overwhelmed

“Yes, yes…. We can start over” she said hugging me ti-ghtly. Does she like me this much

“Uhhm… I can’t breathe Khloe” I said and she quickly pulled away

“Are you okay? I’m sorry” she said checking me out

“I’m fine Khloe. Ohh….. the bell has been rung, let’s meet later”

“No, let’s go together”

“Alright then” I said knowing I had no choice

Min Ju’s POV

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! I just can’t stop wowing. I never believed a day like this would ever come. This is jackpot!

“Min Ju, you have to be of a good behaviour from now on just to have Min Seok date you. You can’t ruin this only chance, got it?” I said to myself inwardly with smiles on my face

I held Min Seok’s hand ti-ghtly like my life depends on it. From now on, every other person should fu-ck off because Min Seok is mine.

Aubrey and Khloe, I hope you are watching this amazing sight wherever you are, especially Aubrey.

Wait! Now that Min Seok has chosen me, it means Aubrey will be with Liam. No! I can’t let that happen.

Liam and Min Seok are mine and I don’t plan to give up on anyone of them. Looks like I can’t really relax yet, I still have to put Aubrey in her place.

Why is America this troublesome? I thought I wouldn’t have a problem here because I’m Korean and Koreans are the most beautiful girls as far as I know.

This place su-cks! Totally!!

Aubrey’s POV

It was lunch time already. I stood up, packed my books and wanted leaving the cla-ss but Khloe stopped me.

“What’s wrong Aubrey? You’ve been really quiet and moody since morning” she asked genuinely concerned

“It’s nothing Khloe, I’m fine” I answered faking a smile

“You don’t have to pretend to be fine Aubrey, we’re friends and we shouldn’t hide things from each other”

“I know Khloe, I’m just confused”

“Let’s talk about it over lunch” Khloe suggested

“Alright. Let’s go”

We had almost gotten to the cafeteria when Liam came to meet us. Ohh… I forgot we’re to have lunch together, I guess that will be some other time.

“Hey girls” Liam greeted revealing his dimple making him look cuter.

“Hi” surprisingly, Khloe also responded

“Uhhm… Aubrey, can we have lunch together now? I told you about it this morning”

“I’m sorry Liam but I want to be with my friends today. I promise to make it up to you tomorrow” I said giving him my irresistible puppy face

“Alright then. Catch you later!” he said and left

“So…. Why have you been moody?” Khloe asked after we settle down with our food while Natalie just watched with keen interest

“Well …… I’m confused on what to do about Liam and Min Seok. I like Min Seok as a friend but I don’t know what I feel for Liam, it’s like I’m stuck between them. What should I do?” I asked helplessly

“Hmm…. is it a friendly relationship that you have with both of them?”

“Yes. Although… L.. Liam asked me to be his girlfriend but I haven’t given him an answer yet”

“Ohh….. Liam really loves you obviously so you should just say yes to him and keep a friendly relationship with Min Seok but you shouldn’t be too close to him” Khloe advised

“Thank you Khloe, I feel better letting it all out”

“Can I say something?” Natalie asked

“Sure” I and Khloe said

“I don’t trust Liam and I don’t think it’s a good idea to trust him” Natalie said facing me

“But why? I mean he’s fun to be with and I think I feel something for him”

“It doesn’t matter whether you feel something for him or not. There’s one thing that will never change about him and that’s the fact that he’s a playboy.

It’s just my opinion though” she concluded with a shrug

“Thanks for your opinion. I know Liam has changed because of Aubrey, just wait and see how their relationship will blossom” Khloe said

I’m really confused right now. What if Natalie is right? Khloe and Samantha are asking me to say yes to Liam but Natalie said I shouldn’t trust him.

Majority may not always be right. I think I will just listen to Sam because she has been my childhood friend.

I think I will have a migraine if I don’t get rid of these thoughts.
