A Bet - S01 E73

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 73

Aubrey’s POV

I took out my phone and went throu-ghsome things online since I was the only one at home, I wonder where Samantha went to though. I feel really bored.

“Good afternoon Aubrey! How are you doing?” I saw Min Seok’s message pop up on WhatsApp. Why is he still trying to talk to me after he said we were no longer friends and I should stay away from him?

I ignored the message at first but my mind wasn’t at rest so I decided to reply after some time.

“I’m doing good and you?” I replied

“I’m good too. You don’t seem to be really busy, can we meet please? I won’t take much of your time”

I thought about it for a while. Since Samantha isn’t at home and I’m really bored, going to see him won’t be a bad idea. I’m also going to let him know that I was aware of his true identity all along but I kept quiet and didn’t judge him because I believe he must have a reason.

With that concluded, I decided to reply him.

“Alright then! Send the location, I’ll be there in fifteen minutes” I hurriedly sent it to him and went to change my clothes

When I was done wearing my clothes, I checked my phone to see he had already texted the location to me. I don’t have to hide my face with a mask anymore since I already revealed my face to the world. Although, no one knows I’m the president’s daughter yet!

I got into one of my cars and drove to the garden myself with my guards following closely behind me. I have to go out with my guards now that everyone knows who I am.

After about ten minutes of driving, I got to the garden and got down from my car. The view was eye-catchy but that isn’t why I’m here. I looked around the garden and I sp-otted Min Seok waving at me.

I walked elegantly to where he stood and greeted him casually.

“You look beautiful” he complimented with a small smile on his face

“Thank you” I replied with a straight face

“I admit I was wrong Aubrey. I shouldn’t have spoken that way to you but I felt really hurt. Even if you wanted to hide your identity from others, I didn’t expect you to do the same to me because we’re friends.”

“Really? Friends you say? You were hurt? At least I still told everyone about it in the end, but what about you? For how long are you going to hide the fact that you’re Jae In?” I asked throwing him into a huge state of confusion

“You’re surprised? You shouldn’t be” I said with a sm-irk

“S..since when have you known?” he stuttered

“It’s been a while. At least, it’s been over a month already” I said with a shrug

“Over a month? How come you didn’t say a word to me then?”

“I don’t judge people the way you do. I didn’t say anything to you because I believed you had your reason for doing that just like me, but you flared up when you found out about my own. I still apologized for hiding the truth from you even though I knew there was no difference between both of us.”

“I’m really sorry Aubrey. I know I don’t have any excuse, I’m sorry Aubrey.”

“It’s okay, I’m not mad at you even though I really want to get mad at you”

“That’s because I’m too cute” he said with a wink

“Cute my foot!”

“Am I not cute? Who is cuter between I and Liam?”

“I don’t know” I said with an eye roll

“Whatever! Should we go to the beach?” he asked turning to me

“Why will I want to go to the beach with you?”

“Why can’t you go to the beach with me? Am I not human?” “Well…… I can’t say for sure” I said and stuck out my tongue at him

“Did you just say that to me? Wait until I catch you!” he said running towards me

I should make this a little fun! I might not be good at anything but when it comes to running, I’m really good except if I don’t feel like running. Let’s see if he can really catch me like he said.

Liam’s POV

Prom night is over now so all I have to prepare for now is college. It looks like I and Aubrey were never meant to be! I admit I hurt her feelings and probably don’t deserve her forgiveness, but she still forgave me.

I should just focus on Khloe for now and see if I will be able to fall in love with her. If things don’t work out between us, then I will travel out of the country to continue my education.

“What are you thinking about Liam? I’ve been standing here for minutes now but you didn’t notice me. Is something wrong?” I heard Khloe’s worried voice which kind of startled me a bit

“Not at all, I’m fine” I replied with a rea-ssuring smile

“I’m not buying that. You were thinking about something but you don’t want to tell me about it. It’s fine though!” she said sitting beside me

“I was thinking about us and my school too” I said after few minutes of silence

“I don’t want to hear it, just keep it to yourself” she said and continued bringing out foodstuffs from the bag she brou-ght

“Are you angry? I’m sorry I didn’t tell you from the start, I just felt it wasn’t important” I said holding her cheeks tenderly

“It’s fine! I’m not angry, I just felt things might not work out between us. I thought you were thinking of going back to Aubrey” she said truthfully

“Don’t think that way Khloe. I won’t go back to Aubrey because I realized we probably weren’t meant to be so you don’t need to feel insecure. Even if things don’t work out between us, I won’t go back to Aubrey because I know I don’t deserve her”

“Okay! Thank you, I feel a lot better now” she said with a heart melting smile

“Are you sure? Can I get a kis-s then?” I teased and she bowed her head shyly

“Wow! I can’t believe you’re shy! I still want to apologize for the bet I and my friends placed on you, forgive me”

“It’s okay! I actually feel a lot better after you apologized, although I will feel much better if things work between us. I don’t want you to feel pressured just because I said that! If you fall in love with me then so be it, but if you don’t, I will wait for the right person” she said with a smile

“Who am I not to fall in love with this beautiful angel before me? Things will definitely work out between us so don’t worry”

“Thank you Liam”

“I should be the one thanking you for giving me an opportunity to love you. You’re one in a million! Thank you for giving your heart to me” I said before pulling her into a de-eper kis-s which I’m sure is going to lead to something else
