I didn’t tell him.

Well, I told Min that I said it already.

Fork it. I’m lying too much.

Now, I’m getting ready to meet Sehun. For the magazine launch.

I’ll just go to that legendary bench and wait for BIBS.

***

“Are you sure that Tao is sincere?” BIBS asks while driving.

“I think.”

He shrugs it off.

“Ok.” He unbuckles his seatbelt and I follow.

He holds my hand as we walk inside.

“It’s true!” Tao says and looks at our hands.

“Aigoo~ Chukahae~ Merry Christmas! Nice, Lu Han.” She winks.

I chuckle at her action.

Would you believe that I’m really friends with her?

“I reserved seats for the two of you.” Tao leads us to the front row. The very middle of it.

“Wait, I’m busy organizing. Can’t entertain you”

“It’s alright, Tao”

“Kamsa.” She smiled and walks away.

There are many people here right now. Impressive.

The lights go off and smoke comes out of the stage.

The neon lights appear on stage.

Models come out walking is style, after.

All I can say is ‘wow’

Whoever has the idea of this is freakin’ awesome.

When the modeling finishes, a speaker appears on the side of the stage.

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Merry Christmas. I’m Huang ZiTao, editor-in-chief of First Look Magazine”

Whoa. I didn’t know that she has writing skills.

Hmm… She’d been fired after our meeting.

“This is a special issue for the magazine. Not only because it’s Christmas but also because we are working with a very famous fashion designer.” She looks at me then smirks.

I’m having a bad feeling about this.

“Can we go now?” I ask BIBS

“Why?”

“I’m—“

“Let’s all welcome, Ms. Kim Min Seok!”

Everyone claps.

This would probably be the end of everything.

“Good evening and Merry Christmas. I want to thank you all for coming. Let me tell you a story. Friends, do you know that I was just a piece of junk before? No one accepted my designs. Everyone rejected me. But then… a man came along. Thanks to you … Oh Sehun”

A spotlight shines above him.

“He made me SOAR HIGH. And also to my ever supportive best friend, Lu Han”

A spotlight shines above me too.

It’s all ed up.

“Hunnie, I send Lulu to look over you and copy my trademarks. Noticed that?”

He looks at me with a poker face. I am now shivering to death.

“Lu, I heard that you didn’t tell him the truth. That I PAID you to make him come back to me not for you to cling on. But maybe… it’s a part of your plan. But I really want him to know”

He just looks at me. Nothing more.

I try to speak but I can’t

He stands up and walks away.

I follow him.

“Sehun! Let’s talk about this!”

He doesn’t stop.

“Sehun, listen!” I hold his wrist.

“Listen to your lies?! No wonder you’re best friends. A cheater and a liar”

I slap him. Unexpectedly.

“. I’m sorry”

“No. Just go away and be gone. I don’t want you in my life anymore. Liar! I thought you’re not like any girl, but you are the worst! So… it’s for money. Do you also love my money? How much do you need?!”

“It’s not what you think!”

“It is—“

“I love YOU. I LOVE YOU. I. LOVE. YOU. Saranghae. Aieru. Wo ai ni.”

He turns away, walks a little and stops without facing me.

“If you loved me, you must’ve told me the truth.”

That was so painful.

I have an oath to myself. I won’t let this pass. Even if she’s my best—No. She isn’t anymore.

I go back inside and march to the stage

“Hi Lu, how—“

I slapped her. I slapped Kim Min Seok.

A/N: Srsly. There are 3 chapters left. Oh gosh.
