Worth It 𖧵 [TXT Yeonjun]

Chapter 48: Lead Role

Why am I dreaming about this?

My mind went blank for a second-

And then the image of Juyeon's worried face appeared.

No. Not this again.

"Hana- I'm being serious" Juyeon lightly shook me as a way to get my attention quickly.

I was in Juyeon's bedroom.

He had asked to talk to me in private.

And curiosity won me over.

So I had followed Juyeon up to his room, all the way opposite of where the party was.

There was no one around.

Apart from being intoxicated, it was taking me a really long time to comprehend what Juyeon had just told me.

"Hana. Does Minho always do this?" He kept on asking in a worried tone.

Turns out, Minho had offered "a night with me" as a bribe to Juyeon for some job title.

I was in a state of shock & denial.

It felt surreal.

This can't be true.

"These kinds of things happen in stupid tv shows, it'd never happen to me." I thought at that very moment.

But I was wrong.

So if this is it. What now?

He'd throw me aside for a job.

A job I bet he wouldn't even keep for twenty years.

The same guy that swore we'd be together forever was now auctioning me off like a pig at a fair.

Just because it was beneficial to him.

It's always about him.

So, no matter what I did, he'd chose a job title over me?

Would he ever do this if I was prettier? Or richer?

Or older?

Why can't I ever be enough for you.

"Hana, I need to know that you're not in any danger" Juyeon repeated.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Hana. Minho was quick to sell you off for my CEO title..." Juyeon paused-

"Has he done this before?"

I took time to think about it.

I've gone to nearly a million parties with Minho,

Some I don't even remember going home from,

Has this happened before?

"Hana. Has Minho been using you for things? Because if he is, I need you to break up with him immediately." Juyeon firmly spoke to me.

Juyeon spoke to me like the child I was.

Our age gap was starting to become apparent.

Juyeon was at least 4 years older than me.

While I was deliriously freaking out, he was trying his best to calm me down.

"If he's passing you around, he doesn't love you. That's not love." Juyeon told me.
