All's Fair in Love & War
Description
We were best friends, together through thick and thin. I knew I could always count on him, and he knew that he could always count on me. Not.
Even though we knew each other since practically birth, we hated each other with all our hearts. He started it, always making fun of me and playing pranks, and so what could I do but retaliate?
But when his girlfriend cheated on him, I agreed to fake-date him to get her jealous. After all, I could benefit from it too; the cutie Kim Jongdae would finally notice me!
But all's fair in love and war.
Foreword
“Taeyeon, she-” He broke off to exhale, and I raised an eyebrow. “Did she finally get tired and dump you?” I nodded in appraisal. “Good for her.”
He didn’t even have the heart to glare at me. He kept his gaze trained on our fluffy rug, and idly, I thought about how he’d hate the rug immediately if he knew that I was the one who picked it out.
“She didn’t dump me,” he murmured, and I grumbled exasperatedly. “Then what?”
“We didn’t even break up,” he continued sullenly as if I had never spoken. Well then.
“Well?” I bit out, patience swindling down like the amount of ice cream in my once-full tub. “What is it?”
He looked up at me with hurt eyes, and at that moment, I remembered that behind the cheerful front of the boy that made my life a living nightmare, there was a person who was capable of being hurt as well.
Not.
...
“Taeyeon- she cheated on me,” he started, and I watched him, feeling sorry for him. He had been so in love. But at least he seemed a bit better now. “I know,” I commented. “And I said that she didn’t deserve you anyways.”
He let a small smile play on his lips, but it disappeared with his next confession.
“She cheated on me with Byun Baekhyun.”
...
“What? Yeol-ah, you want… revenge?”
His eyes darkened, and he nodded firmly. “Yeah. Definitely.”
"How...?"
"Pretend to date me."
