Chapter 7 First Day Pretend

  • Sunny's POV
  • “Do you guys know each other already?” asked Mira.
  • All of her friends were looking both at me and the demonic CEO after we widened both of our eyes and acted like we've seen ghosts in front of us. “O -Of course n —
  • "Babe!"
  • All of our eyes shifted towards the entrance of our house as someone spoke. It surprised me when I saw a tall, handsome man with round glasses walking towards us. He was holding a bouquet of sunflowers and a small box of gifts in his hand. His angelic yet manly face, the mole under on his left cheek, and his thin red lips which I've always wanted to have my first kiss with, nothing really changed, he's still handsome as ever… "H-Henry..." I mumbled.
  • "Babe!" Mira cooed as she ran towards Henry and they hugged each other.
  • B-Babe?
  • Is he… is he…
  • “Guys, this handsome man right here is my boyfriend, he's Henry, by the way. Henry, meet my friend, my childhood best friend Damon, and of course, my little baby sister Sunny. For sure you haven't forgotten about her yet, right?"
  • My mouth went agape. The words that I've been wanting to ask and to say to my first love disappeared. And for a moment, I heard a sound, a sound of something that has been broken. That's my heart.
  • “H-He is your boyfriend? The one that you told me last night?” I asked Mira.
  • She smiled at me as she nodded, “Uh-huh.”
  • “Hi SUNSUN, how are you? You still look the same, huh? You haven't really changed, you're still the adorable little sister of this stubborn woman." Henry suddenly spoke, still embracing my sister around his arms.
  • I can already feel the hotness in my eyes as if tears are about to fill it. I was craving for a loud cry. I want to slap his face; I want to scream and cry in front of them and tell them I'm so mad at them because of what they did to me. I want to shout at my sister, who didn't even tell me that Henry is her boyfriend all along. I wanted to do all of that, but I didn't. Instead, I forced a smile on my face as I looked at him, “I-I'm fine, h-how about you? II never thought that you're my sister's boyfriend.”
  • He laughed. “It was a long story. Maybe I'll tell you next time."
  • "O-Okay, I understand hehe..."
  • He patted my head like a kid before he shifted his gaze towards Damon. "You are the one that Eris has been telling me about all along. You are her childhood best friend, right?"
  • "Y-Yes, I'm Damon."
  • "Hmm, nice to meet you, I'm Henry."
  • They did a handshake while smiling at each other while I was just standing there, frozen, waiting for the ground to finally open and eat me whole. What do I do now? Should I run away? Should I cry and beg for them to break up with each other? Should I tell him I still love him? Then what would happen after that? Will he break up with my sister?
  • “By the way, based on your reaction a while ago, Lemon, do you know my sister? SUNSUN, do you know this lemon here?” Mira suddenly asked while narrowing her eyes at me.
  • “H-Huh ? N-
  • "Yes."
  • I was surprised when the man suddenly spoke. He looked at me and smiled as if asking me to just go with what he's been planning to do. “You know each other? Wait, what are your relationship?”
  • “H-He's my—
  • “She's my girlfriend.”
  • My eyes automatically widened when he said that. I looked at him and was about to speak when he suddenly grabbed me by the arm and pulled me close to him. “W-What the hell are you —
  • “Just ride on," he whispered, nudging me.
  • “G-Girlfriend? M-My sister is your girlfriend? Y-You already have your boyfriend, Sunny? But I thought you don't have one?” Mira asked me, suspicion is all over her face. I gulped as I looked at her and to Henry, who's furrowing his brows at us too. Oh, Henry, why does it seem like you're disappointed? Don't tell me you're mad because I already have my boyfriend now?
  • Damon laughed nervously. “Maybe she only told you that because we had a lover's quarrel. I actually came here, not only to greet you with a happy birthday but to also see my beautiful girlfriend here, right, baby?" he said, smiling at me.
  • I almost puked. What the hell, baby?! EEW!
  • "Er...y-yes, hehehe..."
  • "See? You know, this baby of mine is sensitive about things and she easily gets jealous too, that's why I always make it up to her whenever she gets mad at me." Damon continued. Why is he so good at lying? Looks like he's used to it.
  • Mira just nodded and smiled. “I understand. That girl is really childish and hard to read sometimes. Well, anyway, congratulations, guys!”
  • “Thanks.”
  • When everyone finally shifted their attention to the birthday girl, I turned around and tapped Damon's arm around my shoulders as I glared at him. “Let's talk outside.”
  • “Oh, baby, you want to talk outside? Okay. Eris, we'll just talk outside. This baby of mine wants only my attention, you know."
  • "Oh, sure. Just bring her back here, okay?" said Mira with a wink.
  • "Of course, hahaha!"
  • "I said let's go now!" I whispered, as I dragged him out of the house. All the people are looking at us and this liar just keeps on smiling at them, pretending to be the angel prince again when it doesn't even suit him. I finally let go of his hand when we reached the playground near our house. " What the hell did you just do?!"
  • "What? What did I do?" he asked, pretending to be innocent.
  • "You are not my boyfriend, okay? And I don't want to have a boyfriend."
  • Damon looked at me as he sarcastically laughed. “And do you think I want someone to like you to be my girlfriend, too? Hey Nerdy, first, you are not my type. And what I said a while ago was just a lie. I didn't want Eris to think that I'm miserable after she announced that she already has a boyfriend."
  • "You like my sister?" I widened my eyes at him.
  • "Isn't it obvious? You dumb. "
  • "H-Hey, I'm not dumb!"
  • He heaved a sigh and looked at me again. "You like that four-eyed man too, right?"
  • "W-What?! And what did you just call Henry? ! A four-eyed man?!"
  • 'Whatever, nerd. It was so obvious so stop pretending."
  • "Whatever! You can go now!" I said, as I turned around. What the hell is wrong with that bastard? Calling my Henry a four-eyed man when he looks like an old man with his hair!
