Episode 2

The boys continue to tease me about me zoning out and after a while, I am done with it. I look up and give them an evil stare and they all shut up. "Thank you." I utter.

"Taehyung!" I hear a girl squeal, and it is so high pitched, I feel my ears burn.

Oh god no. Not her please.

This mouse? It was my ex, Aera. She's gorgeous, even to the point that she could become a model, but my god was she fucking irritating. We only dated for around a week when she drove me insane. I broke up with her but in that miniature brain of hers, she still thinks we are dating. I don't understand why because I have dated at least 10 other girls since then.

"Aera." I state, looking up at her, squinting at the sun hits my eyeline.

She stands smiling at me. "I'm hungry." She whines, sounding like a child. I swear she thinks it's cute but in all honesty, it makes me vomit in my mouth a little. It makes me wonder why I even dated her. Hell, I must have been so desperate at the time.

"There's a cafeteria inside. You can get all the food you could possibly want from there." I roll my eyes and stand up.

Aera laughs. "No silly. I want you to buy me lunch." She tugs on my arm.

She's the most popular girl in school and thinks she can date anywhere she wants. So many men want to date her, but she picks me. Why me? I would happily date any other girl than her. She's a spoilt brat who thinks she can get anything she wants.

Hell, I would prefer to date Jing Li than her.

Wait.

Oh, just forget it. Who would want to date the girl that beat them up as well as their mates? Yeah, she's pretty and pretty badass but – oh just shut up Taehyung.

"Get lost Aera. It's free food and you can get it yourself."

"Tiger?" I can hear her pouting.

I purse my lips. "For the record, I'm a lion not a tiger." I whisper angrily to her. "I'm gonna say this and this is the truth. I don't like you Aera and I never did. The only reason why I dated you was to shut you up because you wouldn't leave me alone. And right now, we aren't dating. I broke up with you months ago after I felt like I needed sectioning form dating you."

Aera looks at me, with tears in her eyes so I turn around go to walk of when her voice stops me. "Prove it! Why don't you love me?"

There are numerous things going through my head right now, but I am not in the mood to make another girl cry. If I make her cry, I will have her entire posse coming after me and they're like cats, scratching at you with their words.

So, I say the first thing that comes into my head;

"I have a girlfriend!"

Nice going Tae. She didn't believe you broke up when you dated 10 girls after her so how would one more make a difference to her?

I look at the boys behind her who are all looking at me in shock, knowing I'm lying but intrigued to find out how I'm going to get myself out of this lie.

"Really? Do you love her? You seem to have so many girlfriends." She folds her arms and awaits my reply.

"Of course I love her. She's the one and I can't let her go." I reply, stepping back towards them.

The boys all look at me, knowing I'm making a huge idiot of myself.

"So, who is this new girl then, Tae?" Namjoon asks, digging me into a huge hole. You bastard.

"It's erm..." Who was I supposed to say? Only Aera actually likes me, and I've dated so many girls that no one wants to date me anymore. Think Tae, think. I see her eyebrows raise. She's onto me. "It's Jing Li."

I internally slap myself. Out of all possible answers, I say her. I could have said it was a girl from out of town or someone I met online or at another school but no. I pick the girl who I am sure hates me.

"Jing Li? Who is that?" Her nose scrunches up in disgust. God she is so jealous.

"She's the new girl who started today. We've been dating like a week now, but I've fallen for her. I bumped into her one night and it just happened." I explain, praying she believes this.

Shockingly, or not, she does.

"Awe, how sweet." I can hear the sarcasm in her voice. I knew she hates Jing LI already. She's going to kill me for getting her involved in all this. "I might go talk to her."

I open my eyes in pure shock at her suggestion. I can see Jimin is trying not to laugh so I give him a look to say, 'if you dare laugh then I will kill you'.

"There's no reason for you to go and talk to her." I state

"But you have one." Seokjin blurts out. I look at him and he shuts up.

She just sighs. "I only wanted to tell her that I'm happy for you two." She smiles and I can see how fake it was.

"No, you weren't. Anyway, I need to go find her and make sure she's settling in okay." I turn around and jog off.

"Bye lion!" Aera shouts. Eww.

Now what am I going to do? There's no way she would date me and there's no way she would pretend to date me either. Knowing her, she's just going to laugh in my face.

I've been looking around the rooms and halls for ages now and if I don't hurry up, lunch will be over and Aera may get to her first.

Where are you Jing Li...?

JING LI POV

"Thank you." I pay for my lunch and take the box of sushi from the counter. I leave the cafeteria and try to find somewhere quiet to eat, away from all the weirdos hanging around. I see a sign NO ENTRY. Ooh, the roof maybe?

I look both ways to make sure no one is watching before sliding through the door and up the stairs. The top door is unlocked so I walk straight through and up onto the roof.

Peace at last.

Just as I sit down against one of the concrete blocks, I hear the door close. I roll my eyes. Who the fuck is this?

"Jing Li?" I hear my name. I look around to see Taehyung. "I need to speak to you."

"I'm wanting to eat. Can it wait?" I ask. "I'm hungry and I don't wish to waste my lunch time talking to you."

"I don't care. It's really important." I place a piece of sushi in my mouth. "I really need your help."

I nearly choke on the sushi and spit it out from shock. "You want my help?"

His face cringes from me spitting out the sushi after choking on it. "I told Aera that I'm dating you."

I drop the next piece on the floor. I don't even know why I'm trying to eat this. "You did what?" I exclaim. What the fuck was he thinking?

"She's my ex and she was pestering me, so I told her I was dating you since you're the one I'm in love with. Not that any of that is true, I just needed her to leave me alone." He explains.

I feel sick and I can't tell if it's because I'm hungry, from what he said or both. "Why would you do that?" I stand up and walk around. "You don't even know me!" I shout.

"I know!" he shouts back. "Just help me."

I can hear the desperation in his voice. He really does need my help but why should I? He picks on little girls, and I heard he's dated way too many girls to count. I don't know him, even if it would be something amusing to do.

"Please." He begs. He stands up and rubs his hands together.

I roll my eyes. "What will you do in return if I do pretend to date you?"

"I'll never date a girl I don't like, and I'll stop bullying people."

That seems fair. I may be an asshole, but I have never really bullied people, and I hate people who bully, So, pretend to date him and make him into a better person? That actually makes me sound like a really good person for once in my life.

"Alright." I reply. "Now, you owe me lunch because it's ruined." We look down to see the container of sushi now empty and the rolls all over the roof.

He rubs the back of his head. "Yeah, sorry about that. I have a sandwich in my bag." I watch him pull it from his bag and pass it to me.

"Thanks." He zips his bag up and turns to leave. "You don't have to leave, you know?"
