A Bet - S01 E52

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 52

Min Seok’s POV

I sat on my bed lost in thought. I don’t even know what to think about, I just feel really weak.

First I had to stay away from Aubrey, someone I love so much just to avoid Liam’s trouble.

And now, the only friend I have turns out to be a murderer. Isn’t my life so interesting?

I sighed tiredly and took out my phone staring at the pictures of Aubrey on my phone. I really miss her but I’m trying so ha-rd to avoid having a problem with Liam.

Like she heard my thought wherever she is, her call came in.

I was tempted to pick the call but I know if I do, I will start telling her how much I miss her and I might even tell her Liam asked me to stay away from her.

I don’t want to be the one to ruin their relationship so I’m not going to pick her call. I have just few months left to spend in school so I will just endure until then.

Besides, the person my heart really wants is Byeol. I wonder why I’m feeling the same way for Aubrey.

I watched the phone ring till the end the second time and when I noticed she doesn’t wants to stop, I decided to turn off my phone.

Aubrey’s POV

I called Min Seok twice but he refused to answer my call. I decided to keep calling until he picks the call but when I tried it the fourth time, his phone was off.

But what exactly did I do to make him decide to stay away from me? I know I’m supposed to just let him be but I really miss him.

I’m so confused right now. Who do I really love between Min Seok and Liam? What am I even saying?

I love Liam and not Min Seok. If Samantha was here, I won’t even be this lonely but she has been busy with some things lately.

This is one of the things I hate about being the daughter of rich people. My parents haven’t been home for about 3 months now and my siblings aren’t around too. I feel really lonely.

Although Sophie told me she will be coming home soon but that doesn’t change anything.

I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling when I suddenly heard the doorbell. Huh? Who could that be?

Whoever it is, I’m sure the guards and maids will handle them. I sat up immediately I heard a voice that sounded like Samantha’s.

“Sleepy head, open the door” she said and I quickly stood up and ran to the door

“Sam!!” I screamed pulling her into a really ti-ght hug “I’ve missed you so much” I said again

“I’ve missed you too. Why do you sound this dull?” she asked pulling away from the hug

“Well… I feel really lonely, I have no one to talk to” I said staring down at my feet

“I un-derstand how you feel, totally. But that doesn’t say you should behave like a baby. Should we go out?”

“Yes, I love the sound of that” I said excitedly

“Alright. Get dressed, I’ll be waiting for you” she concluded and left

Liam’s POV

I can’t believe Min Ju was the one that posted Khloe’s nu-de pictures on net. No matter how much I think think about it, it just doesn’t make sense.

I’ve always thought the person that posted Daniel’s nu-de pics is also the one that posted Khloe’s nu-de but it looks like I’m wrong.

Daniel said his kidnappers are behind the leakage of his nu-de pics and I know there’s no way Min Ju can be behind the kidnap, it has to be someone really powerful if not powerful than I am.

Gosh! This thing is getting really confusing and complicated because I don’t know what to think anymore.

Since when did our school become like this? First, the posting of nu-de pictures and now, there’s a murderer in our school? What is the world turning into?

I sighed frustratedly before going to bed. Tomorrow is another day, I wonder what will happen next.

Next day

An emergency bell was rung almost immediately after the morning devotion and all of us had to run back to the hall.

I just hope this go well because the last time we heard the emergency bell, a student was expelled from school.

“Good day students” the principal greeted without a single trace of smile on his face

“Good day sir” we responded

“I don’t like what has been happening in this school these past days. I keep quiet and pretend not to know anything but that doesn’t mean you said take it for granted.

How can one of you be a murderer? The first nu-de was leaked, I didn’t say anything. The second one happened and I still kept quiet, but this third one is not something I can keep quiet about.

A large number of parents have withdrawn their students from this prestigious school. Why? Because of the video about Kim Min Ju that has been going viral.

I don’t even have much to say to you guys because I’m so annoyed. But first, listen to these things I’m going to say.

Starting from tomorrow, no student should be seen with a phone in school. Failure to abide by that rule, be ready to bear the consequence.

Mind you, there is no exception to any student here because the board of directors already agreed to the rules.

The second rule is, there should be no group chat whatsoever for any cla-ss. If I ever find out about it, I’m going to punish everyone in that group so take note. Delete every group you created for the school.

Lastly, I don’t want to see any student in any secluded area of this school. Make sure you are up to about eight in a particular area. The only exception given is the toilet and there’s going to be strict monitoring there.

Dismissed” he concluded and left the podium.

Wow! I’ve never seen the principal this angry, Min Ju went too far. We all left the hall and went to our various cla-sses.

I haven’t even set my eyes on Aubrey since I got to school. Is she avoiding me or what? I shrugged the thoughts off and decided to concentrate on the teacher.

Break time

I left my cla-ss with Daniel and Jayden.

“Catch up with you later guys, you can go ahead”

“Yeah whatever, just pray she doesn’t find out what you’re up to before you carry out your plans” Jayden said with an eyeroll

“She won’t find out” I said confidently “except if you guys decide to tell her and I know you won’t do that. See ya” I said and left

I went to the cafeteria to check if Aubrey is there but I didn’t see her. Where can she be?

I decided to check her in cla-ss but I met her on the way. Oh, perfect!

“Good afternoon ladies”

“Afternoon” they chorused

“How are you doing sweetheart?” I asked going over to Aubrey

“Wait, what’s wrong Aubrey?” I asked her but she kept mute “what’s wrong with her?” I asked her friends

“We also don’t know, she has been like that since morning” they said with a shrug

“Excuse us” I said and pulled Aubrey with me but Natalie stopped me

“Sorry to ask, but hope you aren’t taking her to a secluded part of the school. You know the principal…..” she was saying but I cut her off

“Don’t worry about us” I said and left with Aubrey

“What’s wrong Aubrey?” I turned her to face me after we got to a quiet place

“Nothing” she said shaking her head

“What do you mean by nothing? I know something is wrong so just tell me, please”

“I’m really fine Liam, don’t worry about me”

“Is it about Min Seok?” I asked and she snapped her head up instantly

“No” she answered taking her eyes back to the floor

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I’m fine”

“You tell, come over here” I heard the principal’s voice. Oh my goodness!

“Didn’t you hear the announcement I gave this morning?” he asked when we got to him

“We’re sorry, it won’t happen again” I said

“Your sorry won’t change a thing. Both of you, get ready for detention” he said and left without sparing us a glance.

I just got Aubrey into trouble!
