"With who?"
"Never mind, Chanyeol. Just forget about it, okay?"
"Come on, I won't rat on you."he said, his eyes gazing into mine with sincerity. I wasn't going to give in, he would rat on me. I know he would.
"Can I guess?"
"No, Chanyeol. Just let it go."
"Is it someone I know?"he leaned in and I held a breath.
"It is...oh my."he sat back and grinned, I went to stand up and move but I was stopped when he grabbed my wrist and sat me back down again.
"I shall write a list of guys I know who know you and put two and two together."
"What part of 'forget about it' do you not understand, huh?"I glared at him and his grin faded, I snatch my wrist out of his grip and stood up and sat somewhere else. Life was being to difficult right now, I was being punished for loving Jungkook.
-
"Your mom called my phone. She didn't sound too happy."
"Yeah because I fucking walked out on Jin."
"Oh...why?"Jungkook asked as he rested on the sofa. "I can't explain, I just had to leave."
My phone began to ring, like crazy.
"Hello?"I sighed deeply, knowing fully well who was on the other end of the phone. "Lucy, you've left me no choice."
"Wait, what?"
"I'm setting up a date for Jin and you to be wedded. I wanted you both to fall in love naturally, but you're not even trying with him...are you seeing someone else?"My mother snapped, I glanced at Jungkook, nervously. I knew I had to save myself.
"Yes, I am."I confessed and Jungkook jerked up a bit, he was taken back, afraid of what I would tell her next.
"Who?"
Jungkook gulped and nodded side to side.
"Jung Hoseok."I blurted out, without thinking. The only name that came to mind. Jungkook glared at me with knotted brows, as if to say, "what the hell are you thinking?!"
"Do you love him?"my mother asked softly. Memories of Hoseok intervened, the way he would look at me and the way he would unintentionally make me smile. He's my best friend, of course I love him.
"Yeah."I confessed after a moment of hesitation, I could hear her exhale deeply on the other line. "Can I meet him? I know you both were really close in high school-"
"When?"
"Tomorrow, if it suits."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. I love you."I bid my mother good bye, and was met with a shocked Jungkook. "What the hell was that? The lies are just adding up now, you're going to lead Hoseok on again?"
"No, I'll tell Hoseok my situation and I'll definitely make sure not to lead him on."
"But you're going to have to act lovey dovey, of course he's going to fall for you again!"Jungkook stated, I wasn't in the mood for an argument. "And how do you think I feel about this? First Jin and now Hoseok? You'd go bat shit crazy if I 'pretended' to be in a relationship with other girls, put yourself in my shoes, Lucy."
"I know I know, I'm sorry. But this is what I have to do to prevent them from finding out that I'm in love with my stepbrother."I explained, my sight becoming glassy by the second.
"Why don't we just....come clean, get it over with. It's better being punished then pretending I don't want to spend my life with you, I want to hold and kiss you in public, but that's never going to happen. Is it?"Jungkook stood up and walked towards me, he rested his hands on my shoulders.
"It has to be done, Jungkook. I can't risk my mother being ashamed of me, I just can't."
"It has to be done? In that case, why don't I just hire myself a fake girlfriend, eh? How would you feel about that, I do need your approval, right?"he leaned towards me, his eyes dark, full of anger. The only time I've seen him like this, was when he was in that confusing situation with Sangyoo.
I realise how much I would hate for him to date a girl just for the sake of our parents not finding out about our relationship, I'm such a shitty person. But I did the unexpected, I regretted saying it straight away. "Go for it, if that's what you want."I felt like I had stopped breathing for a moment, why would I say that?
I watched in fear as he nodded and scoffed, he backed away slowly. "Okay."he said in almost a whisper, he turned around and went to the bedroom, I could hear indistinct movements of a bag being ruffled and unzipped. He was leaving.
Some might say we were being overly dramatic but this was huge for us, I never expected it to end this way.
My phone buzzed, it was from the unknown number.
Anon: I didn't think you'd actually break up with him, my orders were that you'd move out... pfft kekek
I had forgotten his orders for me to move out, but instead, Jungkook was leaving. I had given him what he wanted.
Me: happy?
Anon: sorry.
Me: for what?
Anon: nothing, I wasn't supposed to send that. But I'm glad that you came to your senses.
What was he sorry for?
I switch my phone off when Jungkook walked out of the room with a big rucksack bag hanging off of his shoulder, I watched in dread as he turned the key and opened the door, he took one last glance at me before closing the door.
"Goodbye."I spoke, my voice shaking.
I'm stupid and I'm selfish, I didn't know what Jungkook was feeling when I went on dates with Jin. I didn't take the time to think how he would feel, it's like I play with everyone's feelings, I played with Hoseoks, Jin's and Jungkook's. I'm such a terrible and disgusting person. I deserve what anon has in store for me next.

I have a feeling things are starting to get good and interesting, we need some conflict!
Why do I feel like Lucy should be with Hoseok? They would've been good together I think. I was looking at comments from new and old readers on previous chapters and how it's a shame it isn't a Hoseok fanfiction, I kind of agree. Hoseok is just boyfriend material, he's adorable. Plus he's suffered a lot in this fanfiction, I just want to hold him and comfort him naww.
And thank you guys for liking this fanfiction, I was going to give up on this book because I didn't think it was good enough, but yall changed my mind.
I love you guys xxx
