«LALISA»

My lips trembled as I threw off the phone somewhere on the bed, ignoring the prolonged buzzing. I didn't bother to read his lies anymore; after all what he did was a bet.

All the hugs, kisses, dates we shared. Everything was set up to lure me, a deal of two hundred dollars. What was he? A kid aged thirteen?

My eyes teared up as I felt the emotions I thought I never would; of anger and contempt. What was more disgusting about him?

He did not just take advantage of me and make a fool of my innocence, but also had the nerves to disrespect me like that. Worst of all? I fell for it.

It was Jeon Jungkook we were talking about here. The one and only infamous douchebag of the century. He was every girl's dream, at least that's what I had come to know about from my colleagues at my first day to work.

He seemed like a charming, friendly man ㅡ he even helped me settle down in Korea after he got to know that I was his friend Bambam's cousin.

Our relationship hadn't been an easy going one; because here, I was the one who was chasing him, when he would always flirt with the female employees around. I had already taken him for a liking, taking each if the small hints and gestures he'd shown towards me that was never witnessed by the people working with us.

Everything was very platonic, until the drunk kiss we shared at Bambam's birthday bash. He would often pop up in my cubicle to chat with me, even prepare coffee for me and take me to lunch dates ㅡ his funny jokes and flirty talks somehow seemed to have a different effect on me as I gradually found myself falling for him.

He was extremely well mannered, despite being a casanova when it came to making an impression through talks ㅡ he would always suggest me different ways to present my ideas, ask for my consent to make me feel comfortable, give me comfort hugs whenever I felt low or spend the whole day with me during my strawberry weeks.

Yet I should've known, that everything he did to showcase his love, was nothing but a staged act.

Bambam went speechless the moment I asked him about the bet. The silence from the other end of the call spoke the volumes. He kept repeatedly apologizing to me, calling it a joke, to take everything ever so lightly.

To say, the two of us weren't even in an official relationship. So what was the point of all these tears straining my cheeks? Was this how an actual break up felt like?

The only thing I was probably glad was to have him accidentally text me and reveal it today. Because if it wasn't, I would've been the bigger fool to drown myself in the trap even deeper.

I wasn't in a mood to deal with this shit. I didn't want to make a fool of myself anymore, by running my mind back to a past where nothing real ever existed.

Getting up from my bed, I undressed myself, stepping into the shower to relieve myself of all the pain seated in my heart.

Wrapping a towel around my warm, drenched body I stepped out, only to find Jungkook pacing back and forth in my bedroom.

How the hell did he get in?

"I didn't break in. I entered using the spare key." Was the first thing he blurted out, jiggling the keychain in front of himself.

Right, I should've known better.

"Why are you here?" I ignored looking directly into his eyes, for I wished to stay strong and not a weakling before him.

"Can we please talk I already feel so miserableㅡ" he suggested, his eyes boring into mine as I blandly looked at him, his presence irking me every single moment that passed by.

"Miserable, is what you feel." I scoffed at his words, "get out from my house Jungkook."

"Babe listen to meㅡ"

"By all means you have lost the right to address me with those sweet nicknames, you dick-"

"April Fools." He nervously breathed out, his head hung low looking down at his palms crossed over each other.

His words suddenly caught me off guard. What did he mean byㅡ

Today was the first of April. Was everything a prank? Or was he using the day as a bait for his forgiveness?

"Jeon I swear to Godㅡ"

"I have Bam on the speed dial if you don't wish to believe me. Yes it was true we had a $200 betㅡ but it was to prank you, not for all that shit that happened a while back." He explained, my eyes widening from shock.

"I still don't believe you Jungkook." I give my honest response, noticing him gulping hard on his Adam's apple.

He fished his phone put from his pocket, showing him the text messages between him and Bambam where they had intended to prank me.

I had believed it halfway, considering that Bambam opted for revenge for one of my pranks I played on him back in the day. The fact that everything was starting to make sense was angering me a little more.

"I don't have hopes from Bambam, yet I never expected you to agree to such an unnecessary thing from the start. Why, you think its easy to play with my feelings Jungkook? I always thought that you didn't want a  proper relationship so I respected your choice, I never bugged you about it."

"I'm sorry for letting myself into that childish prank, I regret it so bad because it made you cry. I had plans of confessing to you tonight."

"Confess what?"

"That I love you. And I want a serious relationship because I realized that you're the only one that can make me feel worthy of myself, that you're my significant other and it will always be you, Lalisa." Jungkook's eyes were pooled with tears as he stepped close, reducing the gap between us by pressing his forehead against mine, his hands now intertwined with mine as I could feel his glistening tears on my skin.

"Promise me you wouldn't do such a thing again. Otherwise I wouldn't hesitate to chop your dick off Jeon." I threatened as he laughed a little while wiping his tears off, nodding in obedience.

"Come here." I signalled, stepping on my toes to wrap my arms around his neck before capturing his lips ㅡ which surprised him at first although he didn't hesitate to kiss back.

"I love you too." I whispered, pulling away from his touch when I realized I was still wrapped in my towel and almost naked before him. But before I could move away he engulfed me in his strong, tattooed arms, resting his chin on the bridge of my neck.

"You look so hot in that towel though, it makes it so difficult to keep my hands away from you."

"You're being dirty minded again."

"Only for you babe." He pecked my cheek as I shyly elbowed his away.

"Get dressed so we can cuddle. Or if you please, we can make loㅡ"

"Stop it Koo!"

FIN.
