◇ Third Person Pov ◇

"Why did you do that?"

"Did what?" Soobin avoided eye contact as he took the cheesecake out of the fridge.

"You know exactly what I am talking about.You know she likes him so why would you leave them alone like that?" glared Briar, standing near the microwave as she took out the packet of popcorn before putting another bag in.

The popping of the corn reminded her of the situation. The corns can't escape the bag while popping due to being trapped there and she can't yank all the hair out of Vivre's head to see if she has a brain or not because of Soobin.

"No, she doesn't. She likes me. We are dating so why would she go after Yeonjun?" He replied and the red haired girl rolled her eyes at his words.

This has been going way too long

Can't he notice those longing stares she gives him?

Or how she clings on to him every time?

"You still believe that? Do you really think that she likes you?" She scoffed at her friend's stupidity.

"Of course, she does! Why do you guys think like that?!" Soobin exclaimed, not wanting to hear one more word against his girlfriend.

"It is quite obvious what she is trying to do! She is using you to get to Yeonjun!"

"This is why she told me to not be friends with you!" Briar froze, hearing Soobin's words.

She tried to isolate him?

"That is called isolation, Soob. They get rid of everyone around them so that the only person you can run to is them. I thought you knew better than this!" She exclaimed in frustration. Soobin went silent as he pondered about it.

Is she really trying to do that?

She wouldn't, right?

Soobin sliced the cheesecake into pieces and grabbed the forks silently.

"Are you seriously giving me the silent treatment now?" Briar glared at Soobin, placing the hot popcorn bags into a basket.

"Briar, let's not talk about this anymore", He sighed,running his hands through his soft black hair.

"You are too nice, Soobin." Briar spoke one last time before making her way upstairs with Soobin behind her with the cheesecake.

"Guys,we are her-" Briar froze in the doorway after witnessing one of her worst nightmares.

Vivre and Yeonjun kissing...

"It is not what you think!She forced me to-" Yeonjun pushed Vivre away, making her land on the floor.

"It really was her.She just grabbed his face out of the blue!" Maeve defended Yeonjun but it was too late.

Briar walked into the room,placed the basket of popcorn on Maeve's table and grabbed her bag that she brought her belongings.

"I am going to go now. You can come later on if you want, Beomgyu" She spoke quietly and walked out of the room, drowning out the yells from her friends.

Yeonjun sat there silently,his head in his hands as he took in everything that just happened. This is exactly why he didn't want to attend.

For Briar, getting threatened by Vivre to leave Yeonjun was a regular thing and she always ignored Vivre's words as though she was a pesky fly but today, it was too much for her.

"Wait for me! Don't do anything stupid!" Beomgyu chased after his sister with his bag after giving Vivre one last disgusted look.

"I think I should get going too. I am sorry for everything" Soobin gave a sad smile, realizing everything his friends said to him up until now were true.

"Why are you apologizing?It is not your fault.It is HER fault", Maeve glared at Vivre who was acting smug.

"Your friends are too sensitive! How is it my fault?" Maeve seethed with anger, hearing those words.

She was about to give Vivre a piece of her mind when Yeonjun suddenly stood up.

She always has to ruin everything for her

She planned so much for this sleepover

And this witch comes out of nowhere and ruins everything?

Yeonjun got up from his spot on the couch and did what he should have done way earlier, he walked over to Vivre and slapped her across the face, shocking everyone in the room.

"I have had enough of you. I am going to report you to the police and get a restraining order against you. You should be glad that you're Maeve's sister or I would have done that years ago, you f**king stalker", Yeonjun's words sent shivers through her spine, his eyes burning holes into her soul with that glare.

"If I see you around me or threaten anyone one more, you're dead", He snarled,before taking his leave too.

"I have to tell her my side of the story", He thought as he rushed to his girlfriend's house.

"Briar isn't picking my calls", Taehyun sighed at all the missed calls he made to the girl as he watched Yeonjun finally snap.

"Well deserved" thought Taehyun as he rolled his eyes at Vivre who was sobbing due to Yeonjun's actions.

He took his eyes off of the sobbing mess and looked around the room that was missing the lively and chaotic energy that he and his friends filled it.

Maeve sat beside him quietly as she silently blamed herself.

"It is all my fault. What was I thinking when I invited them over? Does she always have to ruin things for me? I was so happy. What if they never speak to me again?" Tears welled up in her eyes as the thoughts went wild in her head.

Taehyun noticed the girl beside him staring into a blank, her eyes becoming glossy with tears.

"It is not your fault. You just wanted to have fun with us. You had no idea this would happen", He consoled, offering her a tissue.

"What if they hate me after this?" She sniffled, taking the tissue from him.

"Trust me,they don't"

"How are you so sure?"

"How could anyone hate you?" He smiled reassuringly at her. Maeve's cheeks flushed red.

And that was the start of her crush on Kang Taehyun.
