“I don’t have  anything to say to you.”

When Saeun turned around, she heard Jaejun snigger. He said to her,

“You know, I’m better than Wooyoung at sex. If you’re interested, you can test me out when he isn’t here.”

Saeun threw the closest thing she could at him. Unfortunately, it was a cushion, which meant it didn’t do much damage, but it did help her a little to feel better. 

“You crazy bastard! You will never be as good as Wooyoung!”

“Everyone feels the same in the dark with your eyes closed. You think celebrities are any different? As long as you’re doing it with a man, it will feel the same every time.”

“Wooyoung is different!”

Suddenly, the front door opened. When Jaejun saw Sehyun enter, he shrugged and went inside his room. Before he disappeared, Jaejun said to her, 

“You’re wrong. All guys are the same.”

Clearly, the jerk had to have the last word. When Sehyun, who walked into the living room, saw Saeun glaring at Jaejun’s closed door, Sehyun raised his eyebrows. Without saying anything to him, Saeun turned and walked to her room.

“Wooyoung will be awhile.”

Saeun paused and turned towards him. Sehyun nodded towards the dining room table and asked,

“Did you cook dinner?”

Still not saying a word, Saeun nodded quietly. When Sehyun walked to the kitchen, she followed him slowly. She asked, 

“You didn’t eat yet?”

“I’m okay on my own, Saeun. All I need is some rice and stew.”

Sehyun murmured quietly without turning towards her, but Saeun began to set the table. She took out the side dishes from the fridge for him because it really looked like Sehyun was ready to eat just the rice and stew. 

Except for Wooyoung, Sehyun was the only other member who didn’t complain about her cooking. Although Sangone didn’t say anything to her, he would just look down at her food and smile without eating any of it. 

Saeun began to scoop some rice in a bowl for him. Sehyun obediently sat down on the table and waited for her. After finishing setting up, Saeun turned around to leave the dining room. Without looking up at her, Sehyun murmured quietly, 

“Don’t pay any attention to Jaejun.”

“I don’t.”

When Saeun gritted her teeth and answered, he glanced at her briefly before raising his spoon. He murmured again,

“Did your parents get divorced and you now have a step-parent or something?”

At such an odd question, Saeun frowned and shook her head.

“No. Why do you ask?”

“Then… he’s your biological brother?”

Oh. Saeun looked away with a gloomy face. Sehyun didn’t say anymore, but when she began to walk out again, he murmured one last time.

“You shouldn’t pay any attention to Jaejun.”

She wished it was that easy. With a sigh, Saeun went into her room.

It was almost an hour later when Wooyoung returned home. She could hear him chatting with Sangone as they came home together. After a few minutes, he knocked on her door.

“Are you asleep, Class President?”

Damn him for keep calling her that! During the last hour, she has been wondering what he was doing outside. Why wasn’t he coming home? Her frustration and annoyance were through the roof that when Wooyoung asked her calmly, Saeun exploded. She didn’t care if she was acting like a nagging old wife. Wooyoung left her here all alone! Even worse, he left her with some guy who hated her! How could he? How dare he? 

Just what the hell was he doing out this late? Didn’t he promise to be always there for her? To hug her and give her kisses?!

When he saw her awake, Wooyoung grinned and whispered,

“Oh, you aren’t asleep yet.”

He must’ve been drunk because his eyes looked a little too relaxed. His clothes were a little undone as well. One side of his shirt was untucked, emphasizing the fact that he had been drinking. 

Saeun was so furious that she pulled him inside roughly and closed the door. She glared at him, realizing he smelled of alcohol, cigarettes, and perfume. Was he really with a woman? Seriously? 

Saeun’s heart suddenly began to ache.

“Where have you been all night? Weren’t  you supposed to be at the TV set?”

“After filming, we all went out with the crew for a drink. I actually left earlier than most. The other people were on their way to the third bar when I left them.”

Third bar. So that meant he went with them to two bars. It was likely that Sehyun and Jaejun left after the first bar. In fact, Jaejun probably didn’t even go at all. He was stubborn like that.

The other members didn’t have a woman waiting for them at home, yet they came earlier than Wooyoung, who DID have a girl. So why did Wooyoung go to the second bar? He knew very well that she was waiting for him, so why…? 

Her eyes began to tear up, so Saeun blinked several times. 

“Oh, I guess you had lots of fun then. Why didn’t you stay out later, huh?”

“Wow, are you angry, Class Pres?”

Wooyoung chuckled and hugged Saeun from behind. He leaned heavily on her and wrapped his arms around her neck. 

“Do you have any idea how cute you are when you get angry? Even in high school, I got so horny whenever you got angry. It was so hard for me to control myself! Did you know that? Guess not, because if you did, you wouldn’t have gotten so annoyed at me all the time.”

When he chuckled, Saeun could smell the alcohol in his breath. Getting even angrier, she turned around and tried to push him away. But it was useless because Wooyoung hugged her even tighter. 

“You feel so warm. Yum… I think you taste so delicious.”

He rubbed his cold nose on her neck, but her mood didn’t improve. Finally, Saeun managed to escape his arms. She screamed at him, 

“Get out!” 1
