Marcela's POV

I don't push him away; I'm surprised I'm even kissing him back.......I'm responding to Ru Han's kiss like we were back at 16 and 18. It takes a good few minutes for the kiss to break; he stares at me with clouded eyes, and I'm left trying to remember how to breathe again when he suddenly smiles at me. "Liar." I blink in confusion as to why I was being called a liar, not that I wasn't one...but this was a whole different situation. "Let's make a deal, Marcela: you tell me the truth about why you left me back then, and I don't ruin you!"

I look at him in bewilderment. "I've already told you, Ru Han, I left because I'm a vain woman who is only after money." He finally moves away from me; clutching the steering wheel, he looks at me again, this time with the same look he gave me when we first met in the hospital. Pure hatred laced with disgust... "These five years I thought of how I was going to make you regret what you did to me back then, because I just couldn't let go of the hatred I had harbored. But every time I thought of excuses for you, maybe something happened that she couldn't tell me, or maybe she really had a valid reason to break it off then...but here you are again telling me to my face the exact reason I refuse to believe you are! Do I fucking look like a pushover to you, Marcela?"

Silence fills his car as I think of an answer to end it all, but do I really want to lie to him again? Maybe if the real truth came out...he will side with me? I quickly push those silly thoughts away. Am I stupid? ...It's his father, Marcela. He won't believe you; no one will. "It really is that simple Ru Han, I never thought of having a genuine relationship with you. I just thought that you were a bit popular back then in high school, so why not try it out? Maybe I'll benefit from it too." Ru Han grabs me by the back of my neck, his face inches from mine. "I dare you to say that again." He warns me in a low, controlled voice. Adding fuel to the fire, I smirk at him, "Weren't we both just playing around? Don't tell me you really liked me?" He slams his fist right above my head on the car seat; with barely contained rage, he tells me to get lost. "Get out!" I get my tote bag and get out of his car...he drives away, leaving me on an empty highway.

With a dead phone and no bus stops or a single car in view, I was left with only one option, which was attempting to walk. A reminder not to rage bait your ex-boyfriend in his own car. To my surprise, car lights flash from a distance. I stop in my tracks, and a van stops in front of me. I reach for my pepper spray because a black van in the middle of nowhere is no good sign. The door to the van opens, and Haru bolts out to embrace me while sobbing. I stand there in confusion while the other members look out of the windows at us. OK, that explains the van. "I'm sorry.... I didn't mean what I said back then. Please don't be angry at me." I hug him back. How could I ever be angry at him? ...He's the only one I have out here. "Why are you always crying? I didn't say I'll never talk to you, right?" I say to him while wiping his tears; he nods and finally smiles.

"So she's the girl you always talk about? Hey beautiful, I'm Ren." I smile awkwardly at the red-haired guy, clearly a flirt. "Hi, I'm Marcela." He takes my hand, placing a warm, gentle kiss on it. "Such a beautiful name. Do you have a boyfriend? How about we add each other on WeChat?" I'm left in awe at his boldness or shamelessness.... "Don't mind him; he flirts with everyone...he's our visual." Says another with a buzz cut. "I'm Seven, the main rapper. Nice to meet you, Marcela. " I wave at him with a smile; he points to another guy with blonde hair. "That's Enrai; he's our main dancer." I smile at him as he gives me a small wave. "And that's our leader and main vocalist, Kaito." He points to another guy at the back of the van with jet black hair and very pale skin, who doesn't even flinch an ounce to acknowledge my presence. "Ignore him; he's like that to everyone." I smile at him awkwardly and look over at a Haru "And you're the Maknae, right?" Haru nods with a small smile.

The van stops at our apartment; I wave everyone goodbye and get off when Haru also gets out. "What's wrong?" I say to him as he stands infront of me. "I'm coming with you, I'm worried that Ru Han will try something...and also I'm not so sure if you forgave me." I brush his hair out of his eyes, "Don't be delusional; I can never stay mad at you and Ru Han can go to hell for all I care." He nods and looks back at the van where Ren was clearly eavesdropping. "She's right, stop clinging to her like a lost puppy we have work to do. It was hard enough convincing Kaito to talk to our manager so we come out here for her." I give Haru a gentle hug, ushering him to go back with the others. " Do I get one too, beautiful lady?" Haru shoves Ren back in with him and they drive away while I walk to my building apartment.
