9: the bet

We looked at each other and I shot him a death glare.

"Heh.. sorry." - he rubbed the back of his neck.

He went on frying the eggs after cleaning the floor while I was almost done cutting the onions.

"Be careful with the knife, Y/n."

"I am, don't worry. Ouch!" - I winced in pain as I saw blood coming out of my finger.

"Are you okay? Is the cut deep?" - he rushed over to me and wiped the blood.

"I'm, fine. It's nothing." - I said as I sterilized the cut and put a bandage on it.

"Okay, let's eat." - I said after setting the table.

"This looks delicious. You know what else is delicious?" - he asked with a smirk on his face.

"What?" - I spoke with mouth full of food.

"You." - he said and I choked.

He tapped my back which helped me contain my breathing again.

"Aish, I swear to God, Kim Namjoon! I'll die because of you!" - I said and he laughed.

"I'm sorry! But I can't help myself!"

"Aigoo! Just shut up and eat!" - I hit his shoulder and continued eating.

"Omo! It's Friday today! Which means.." - I suddenly yelled.

"It's movie night!" - me and Namjoon both said in unison.

"Let's choose a movie."

"Why so early? It's still twelve in the afternoon."

"I forgot to tell you, we're invited to a party tonight."

"Oh really? At whom?" - I asked as I opened the laptop and looked for movies.

"At Jimin's."

"Wow. It's been long since he last threw a party. Are we going?"

"Of course we are. He's my best friend."

"Okay, cool."

"Y/n! Are you done yet? I've been standing here for the last thirty minutes and I'm losing my patience!" - I heard Namjoon yell from downstairs.

I sprayed some perfume and took my purse.

"Coming!" - I put my shoes on and hurried down the stairs.

"Finally." - Namjoon said and turned around.
"Wow. You're gorgeous." - he said and kissed my forehead.

"Let's go."

After fifteen minutes of driving, we arrived at Jimin's house.

Namjoon parked the car among all the others and we got out.

Loud music could be heard from the inside, the yard was decorated with lights and we could see the beautiful pool.

We rang the doorbell and Jimin opened the door.

"Hi guys! Come in!" - he greeted us and we got inside the house.

There were plenty of people inside it.

Some were chatting, some were dancing and some were just drinking.

The number of tipsy people was bigger than everything else.

Me and Namjoon found an empty spot in the living room and sat on the couch there.

"Do you want something to drink?" - he asked and I nodded, still looking around me.
"I'll go grab something, then." - he said and went to the kitchen.

Everything was going good for now, until I saw the one face I didn't want to see.

Namjoon's ex.

"Hi, Y/n. I didn't expect you to come."

"Me neither.. Mina."

"So, how have been you and Namjoon doing?" - she asked when she sat beside me. It was obvious that she was drunk.

"Good." - I said irritated and turned away from her.

"You know, Y/n. I feel really sorry about you. I feel like you need to know the truth."
-
"And what could that be?" - I said annoyed.

"Watch this." - she opened a video on her phone and showed it to me.

I wasn't interested until I saw Namjoon's face pop on the screen.

"Namjoon ah, see that girl over there?"

"Oh, that hot chick. What about her?"

"Ha! If I were you I wouldn't call her that. I'm sure she's not easy to get."

"Oh really? I don't think so."

"Let's bet then. If you can make her fall in love with you, you win."

"It's a bet."

The video ended and my eyes were full of tears that didn't wait to escape.

"He.." - I sobbed. I couldn't speak.

I felt like my heart sank. I felt like I was drowning.

"How could he do this to me?" - I stood up, the phone still in my hands.

"I'm so sorry, Y/n." - Mina said and laughed.

"Y/n! Here's your drink" - Namjoon stopped when he saw me.

"Why are you crying, what's wrong?"

"So I was a bet this whole time? Nothing was real? All of these months spent together.. and I meant nothing to you? It was all a lie?"

"Y/n, it's not what you think!"

"Then what is it, Namjoon?! Just.. tell me the truth."

"Yes, Y/n. I bet on you at first but that was before I-"

"I don't want to see you anymore." - I said and left.

"That was before I fell in love with you.."
