Bet on Me

19

"What if she doesn't like me?"

"What are you talking about? She will love you, you make her son happy that's all that matters for a mother" she smiled at me " I have to go to hospital, you have cupcakes for them, don't forget."

She left the house, as I reach my phone to call Cheol I heard a ring.

"I was about to call you" I told him but I don't think he listened, he was staring at me up and down and bite his lip "are you done with staring?" I giggled

"I'm so lucky" he closed the door and kiss me passionately "we still have some time" he winked at me

"No, I spent two hours to look this good, you're not going to ruin this" I warning and he pouted

"You have no right to look this good" he gave me another peck

"You look handsome as well" I giggled "shall we go?" I asked

"Just a few more kisses before, with my mom there I won't be able to do this" he lift me up and put my on the counter while kissing me.

After our make out session and applying again some lipstick, we arrived at his house. I have not been here since my birthday.

"Mom we're here!" Cheol screams as we walk in, he takes my jacket and bag.

"Let me see her!" I heard some running as I turn back and so his mom. She's small I imagine someone taller " oh my, you gorgeous!" She said while hugging me, my cheeks started to blush

"Mom you're embarrassing me"

"Shut up! How did you do this?" She looked at me again " Honey, I'm thankful for your help when this dumb boy was being bullied. He didn't even let me thank you" I smiled

"No need to thank me, I was only doing the right thing"

"Come, I arrange something for us to eat"

We went to the garden since it was a beautiful and sunny day. We talked and drank sone tea before dinner, his mother told that his father will also come so we need to wait a little bit

"I thought dad had work..." Cheol said and I could fell the sadness in his voice

"I told him you would bring your girlfriend and he change his mind immediately. He cares about you"

I grabbed his hand beneath the table as I was getting nervous, I was not expecting to meet his father as well

After a hour or so, we heard the a door slam.

"Honey we're in the garden"

I saw him come to us so I got up to bow but he cut me off " Sit, don't worry about that" I slightly bow as I got back to my seat

"Don't scare her off" Cheol warned him with a cold voice

"I just didn't want for her to bow, she's your girlfriend... she's family"

"Honey you know sometimes your tone can seemed aggressive" his mother try to lighten up the mood

He actually seemed nice and whipped for his wife, it was so cute to watch. Cheol is like is father, I won't tell him this because he seems angry with his father, I wonder why

The food was amazing and it was time for me to leave, his parents wanted for me to stay a little bit more so since Cheol is driving me back I can stay.

The bell rang...

"Oh it must be your cousin, she told she has kimchi for us" his mother told us but for some reason Cheol face went pale like he's seen a ghost.

"Auntie I've brought you-" I looked at the girl and this time it was me who went pale

What's Bora doing here ?!

I glared at Cheol and he avoid my eyes. I wanted to immediately get up and run away from here but I don't want to be rude to his parents

"Thank you, my sister kimchi is the best. Oh this is Seungcheol's girlfriend, Ari. You're from the same school so you probably know her" his mom said not knowing our history

"Yes, hello" she bowed slightly " I need to go auntie, see you" the girl ran away from us maybe because of me

" I want to leave. NOW" I whispered to Cheol

"Mom it's getting late. I'm taking Ari home"

"Drive safely" she told before us leaving the house

I did not spoke a word on the car and after he stopped at my house he tried to speak but I cut him off

"Don't even try. I don't wanna speak with you, fuck I don't even want to look at you"

"Lo-"

"DON'T" I growled "you lied to me and didn't mention that the girl who ruined my life is your cousin!"

"I can't control what she does"

"But you can tell me the truth"

"If you knew you wouldn't be with me?"

"That's not the question Cheol! Forget it" I told him and left his car slamming the door.

Of course, her being his cousin doesn't affect what I feel for him but he should've told me, I saw him talk to her... it was the perfect time for him to tell me.

I know it may appear childish but I can't help to feel angry with him.
