Seth’s POV
“Don’t,” I said as I pulled my hand away from her.
I washed my face with my hands as Sally looked at me, guilt written all over her face.
“Just this once, Seth. Please, I beg of you. This will be the last, ” she muttered, her eyes teary as her hands clasped together.
“Fuck this, Seu. Do you know what’s happening with my life right now?” I look at her frustrated.
We were hidden in a corner of the hallway as she asked me to meet her. A special episode of Music Show would be airing and our group will both be performing.
“I know!” she said about to cry. “But you’re the only one who can help me with this mess. You know what will happen to me if you don’t help me, right?” her tears now slowly streaming down her face.
A pang of guilt crosses my chest after hearing what she said
The truth is, Sally and I almost dated. We’ve gone on dates a few times but then we both realized that we don’t really like each other that much. And that was way back before I secretly married Zanaya.
When we decided to end our dating game, she started dating my senior but of course, only a few people knew about it.
The thing is, dispatch caught her on a date once and she begged on her knees for me to help her. Apparently, the son of a bitch of my senior decided to drop her like a tomato, afraid that he’ll be on it for a huge scandal, especially since Seulgi is an idol and she’s five years younger than him.
You know how fans are when it comes to their idols, right?
I knew from the start about their relationship because I caught them myself on a date once.
Every time they fight, Seulgi comes to me and vent out her frustration. Before I knew it, she became more like a sister to me.
The problem is, Sally likes it when people think that we are in a relationship because it ticks me off. She’s making fun of me because of that.
Now, afraid that Dispatch will release photos of her and my senior together, she begged that I go out with her, pretending there is something going on between us.
She said since a lot of people already thought that we were dating, it will somehow be believable and Dispatch will totally drop their plan.
I mean, I guess it’s more believable if people find out that we were dating rather than her, dating a senior.
I would have declined. Regardless of how much I care about her, I have Zanaya.
But my senior’s manager came to me. I guess since my senior knows that Sally and I were close, he told his manager that I should do this shit of a drama with Sally or he’ll make sure to make some weird stories about our group, and I can’t do that.
The boys recently found out about it and they were frustrated. They said they will help me with this and I shouldn’t mind about his threat.
But I told them I can fix it on my own.
What’s even worse is that the only person who can help me in the company and who knows my current relationship status, our boss, was sick at the hospital and I don’t have the heart to drop a bomb at his hospital bed so that I can be saved from this stupid mess that I got into.
Still, I could have said no.
I could, but Sally pulled another card.
She knew I was dating Zanaya. She found out when I asked Charlie to back off from courting my girlfriend.
I was careless, I know!
She threatened that she reveals that Zanaya and I were dating if I don’t help her.
She even told me that she’ll tell people that we were dating and Zanaya forced herself on me.
Sally had this sweet image and though Zanaya is known for being friendly and bubbly, it would affect her group’s image as well.
“You’re making me suffer,” I told her and again, guilt flashed across her face. “I’m losing my girlfriend because of this bullshit that I don’t have anything to do, to begin with,” I told her and she started crying a little more.
It was a good thing that our performance was already over.
“I’m sorry,” she muttered as she leaned her body on the wall for support.
“Sally, you need to tell your management about this so they can help you.” I tried to convince her. I’ve been trying since day one but her judgment was being clouded.
I know her members are telling her the same thing.
“You know I can’t Seth. Our president will kill me. I am still on dating ban.”
“But we can’t do this forever. Sooner or later, you got to have to ask help before people find out the truth.”
A weird sound came out of her lips.
“If you were not dating her… if you don’t have her, would you still help me? Would your request to me now differ?” she asked bitterly.
“I’d probably still help you. Heck, I knew I would help you even if you didn’t pull that card on me. But in the end, we both know that you still have to do what you have to do. It’s not only me that is hurting from this Seu, Zanaya as well, and you.” I explained, my eyes are full of worry.
Her eyes met mine and a smile crossed on her beautiful face.
I miss the Sally that I once knew. I miss my friend.
“You love her this much?” she asked and a sigh escaped my lips.
Do I love her?
All I know is, I miss her goddamn smile.
I miss the way her cheeks blushes every time I try to be playful with her.
I like seeing her staring at my abs.
I like it when she’s being a jealous little bunny over little things.
I love it when she sends me cute random messages about weird stuff and rainbows.
I miss the way her lips tastes with mine.
I miss her touch, her sweet smell, and soft skin.
I miss everything about her, her entirety.
“Yes, I love her this much. So I’m begging you, please let me go.”
I knew I never like Zanaya from the start and I don’t even remember when she started taking over my feelings.
All I know is, I can’t lose her. Not now. Not ever.
“I was looking at her during the award show.” she started, her eyes on the floor. “She was avoiding me. She hates me.”
I chuckled at what she said.
“You knew yourself that she won’t hate you, right? Zanaya is too kind to hate you. You should know because you’re friends, remember?”
She laughed at what I said.
“And yet, I did this to her. I even asked you not to tell her. I can’t imagine the hurt that she’s feeling because of this.”
I bit my lower lip.
I guess Sally is finally seeing the light in this.
“I’m glad you’re starting to understand. Let’s do what’s right okay? Let’s stop this and you should ask for help with your company. They will help you. They have got to do something about this.”
Just when I thought everything is finally going accordingly, that’s when Seulgi proved me otherwise.
She stood firmly in front of me.
“I’m sorry Seth, but I can’t” my eyes widen at her statement.
What happened to our little pep talk? Was that just for nothing?
I grunt a little too loud just thinking about what I had to do to get this mess fix.
And I need to fix this real fast. Zanaya may have said that she’ll wait but I don’t know until when.
For all I know, one wrong move and the thread that is Zanaya’s patience might snap in an instant. And I can’t let that happen.
I need Zanaya with me. I can no longer see myself without her.
“Seu…” I pleaded.
“I can’t do what you want Seth. I promise I’ll fix this but just then, I need you to stay with me,” she said, her eyes full of determination as if telling me that I can never change her mind.
I look at her in disdain. “What happened to the Sally that I once cherished? I no longer know who you are.” I uttered painfully.
She looked taken aback but she strengthens her resolve.
“Whatever shit you tell me now won’t change my mind, Seth. I’ve decided. It’s either you do what I ask you or your Zanaya will get into a deepshit trouble. I won’t go down alone.” she said and I swear I hated her because of that.
If she isn’t a girl, I might not have the ability to hold back and smack the sense out of her.
“Then let’s all go down into that deepshit trouble that you’re referring to, or whatever bullshit you call that.” a voice echoed from our right side.
We both turned to our head to our right when we realized another person spoke.
Walking towards us is Zanaya, her face stern, looking serious.
Wow. Zanaya said bullshit. I’ll make sure to remind her not to let Raze hear her saying that.
I watch in awe as she walk with confidence, her face held high.
I gulped after realizing how sexy she looked on her short skirt and off-shoulder blouse.
“What are you doing here?” Sally panicked as Zanaya stopped in front of us.
She smirked as her eyes landed on Sally.
“Taking back what’s mine.” and then I felt her pull me by the neck, startled, my face moved closer and the next thing I knew was her lips meeting mine.
She kissed me so passionately that I was not able to respond in shock.
Before I realized what was happening, she already ended the kiss and released her hand on my neck.
Her hands went up and started fixing my messy hair as she looked at me, her lips pouting. She then turned to Sally and gave me the shock of my life.
“That was so little of you. I never knew you can stoop that low, Sally. I am so disappointed. But please, leave my man alone or I’ll have to let you know how much of a bitch I can get.”
My eyes widened at the scene before me and I almost choked on my saliva at what she said.
Is she really the Zaya that I know?
Her eyes landed on me and I swear I felt my knees weaken.
“We’ll talk later.” and then she pulled my hand and the next thing I knew, we were both running away from the dumbstruck Sally.
I still felt bad for my friend but like what she said, my girlfriend can be a bitch sometimes.
Well, she’s my bitch anyways.
And I have never felt my feelings this happy ever.
