Chapter 34 - Test Of Friendship

"You see I do not know where you buy your audacity from but I really think that you need a refund. How dare you call me a whore when you're the one fucking engaged and sleeping around."

Shiwoo came and stood in front of me to stop me but I snapped, "what? Am I being mean too much?"

"Yes you are now calm down. Don't do anything wild." He begged as he held my shoulders.

"I'm being being wild?" I asked as I chuckling, "you didn't give a fuck about me being wild last night when you were fucking me raw so what has changed now huh?" I yelled feeling angry that he was taking her side and he visibly got mad.

"Oh I'm sorry was this not an open relationship? I'm sorry Mr. engaged for not telling your fiancé about what you do in your free time doesn't she do the same?" I batted my eyelashes pouting as if I were actually sorry.

"You're really something Atalia. I can't believe I even called you my friend." Said Harin and my heart broke from her words but then I started to feel enraged because here she was being a hypocrite again.

"I really thought so too Harin but here you are keeping secrets and lying straight to my face for four years!"

"Okay stop. You need to calm down." Said Shiwoo leading me out of the room.

I shook his hands off me once more for I was angry for being angry sake.

"Yeah that's right go take care of your bitch!" Yelled Harin as I opened the door and was about to leave.

I was going to just ignore her and went home when I felt something like a shoe hit me across the back of my head and I felt my last bit of self control dissipated with the last bit of my resolve 

I broke free from Shiwoo's hold like lighting running towards Harin pushing her with everything that I had.

She was started by my retaliation and stumbled upon the wall with wide eyes.

Her expression in a flash changed from being surprised to being enraged and she came to push me back with equal aggression in her force.

I stumbled fro her attack catching myself before falling and when I was trying to regain my composure felt sharp sting across my face whipping my head to the side.

"Guys stop this right now!" I faintly heard Shiwoo yell in the background as glared ar Harin breath enraged as I saw red.

I ran  towards her as if I were a soldier running to war and tackled her to floor punching and hitting as she struggled to block my attacks from underneath me.

"Stop!" Yelled Shiwoo trying to pull me off her but I didn't budge because I was not done teaching her a lesson.

"Woah! What's going on in here?" I heard an unfamiliar voice said as Shiwoo held onto my hands pinning them behind my back.

I yelled out of frustration and pain as I heard more people come in the room, "Yo it's a fight. Fight! Fight! Fight!" Was all I heard as Shiwoo pulled me into his chest as Minseok ran to help Harin.

"Don't you ever call me a bitch again!" I yelled struggling in Shiwoo's arms.

"I'm going to fucking kill!" She yelled as Minseok held her.

"Stop! Just stop! You guys are friends so stop acting like this" yelled Shiwoo at the both of us.

"She is not my friend. She is a backstabbing liar" yelled Harin and the crowd went "Ouu."

I scoffed as I kept struggling in Shiwoo's arms, "I'm the liar? You have been lying to me for four years and as for our friendship consider it over!"

"I never lied to you. I just never told you the entire truth. I told you what you needed to hear and you still went and slept with him!"

The crowd gasped and began to whisper stating and pointing at me, "Okay then since we are sharing secrets with the class did you tell Minseok over there that you are engaged to Shiwoo?" 

The whole room gasped then fell silent as Minseok furrowed his brows, "wait what?"

All the color had left Harin's face as Minseok let her go and I instantly regretted saying it.

Minseok stared Shiwoo in the eyes for a long hard five seconds before leaving the room.

"Wow Atalia" I heard Shiwoo said before he let me go and shaking his head.

"Umm I'm sorry but how am I the bad guy here?"

He looked me the eyes before ordering everyone out of the room, "alright show is over." No body made a movement to move and he put on the 'I am not kidding voice.'

"Everybody Out Now!" He yelled and immediately everyone was rushing to leave the room and house as he was very scary when angry. 

The room was now cleared and we were the only ones left in the room seeing as Harin had ran after Minseok to try and apologize I assume.

"What is wrong with you huh? Why do you always feel the need to cause trouble?"

I folded my arms and rolled my eyes ignoring him not having the strength to argue.

He snapped his fingers in front of my face and I glared up at him, "I'm talking to you" 

"And I am done talking. Excuse me."

I was about to leave when he pulled me by the arm Into his chest then held my jaw forcing me to look up at him, "I am not."

He loosened his hold on my jar and I ripped it away from him.

I jaw ticked and so did mine.

I was not his bitch despite what Harin might think.

"Atalia look-" He started but I cut him off.

"No I don't wanna hear anything more from you Shiwoo or Kim Seojin. I've heard enough. I wanna go home."

"Just listen." He said eyes pleading for me to stay.

I sighed as stood still hearing him out, "Harin and I'm engagement was not our doing but our parents. I have no love for her nor do I intend on marrying her but out fathers are persistent and want to form an alliance but I do not want to.

I stared boredly at his fictional excuse not buying a single word her said, "so you're telling me that your union was already predestined a if it was fate and that you didn't have anything to do with it?"

"Yes, well kind of like that." He said seriously. 

I blinked once, then twice waiting on his actual reason but when I saw it wasn't coming I decided that it was time to leave.

"Well then you can't mess with fate. Oh and uh don't send me an invite thank you."

I stepped out of his hold and he let me before yelling after me, "you know Harin was right. You really are not good for me. You don't even believe me when I'm telling the truth. 

I paused in my tracks turning towards him before answering, " how can I believe anything that you say huh? When have you or Harin ever told the truth. You know it's good that you are siding with your soon to be wife. I wish you a long happy marriage Seojin. I really do"

I turned my back to him as tears welled I my eyes and a stray tear stopped down my right cheek as I spoke softly voice thick with emotion, "I don't want to ever see you again." And with that I was out of there ignoring whatever it was that he was saying. 

I cried on my home in the taxi for not only losing him but for losing my best friend.

Tonight was a shifty night far from what I expected when I was getting ready this evening.

Things would have been so much better if I didn't go to that party.

No.

Things would have better if I had never left my country. 

The taxi driver had been glancing at me ever so often in his rear view mirror checking if I was okay, " Hey are you okay miss?" 

He had finally asked the question I knew he was dying to  so I gave him an honest answer, " no I'm not okay but it's okay to not be okay."
