After Tye and I's wonderful date he drove me back home, we got out of the car and entered my house. Like earlier, the place is still quiet with no sign of my parents.

"I guess my parents are still out." I place my purse on the living room table. Tye grins at me and pulls into another kiss.

After a few seconds we fall onto the couch, I lay on my back while Tye hovers over me. His body rolls slowly on mine. Unconsciously, my legs slightly part, letting his body rest in between.

Just then, Margo comes rushing in with loud barks. I try to ignore it the first few times but he proceeds to bark at the door and then to us. "Margo shush!" I hiss. He then tugs on Tye's trouser leg with his teeth and pulls with a growl.

"Margo I said quit it! Bad boy!"

He jumps around whilst barking at the door until we hear my parents voice on the other side and keys jiggling by the lock.

"Oh shit!" I whisper, pushing Tye's body away. "It's my parents. You've gotta get out of here."

After a moment of panic-filled scrambling, I lift open the living room window enough for Tye to climb out. He throws one leg over, followed by the other, then leaps outside.

"There's a gate in our backyard, you can leave through there." I whisper from the other side of the window, hearing the lock of our front door turning.

"Okay." Tye nods. He gets ready to run but stops himself. "Oh and Lilo?"

"Yeah?"

He leans his head through the window and kisses me.

I let out an innocent giggle as he runs away. The front door opens the very next second. I quickly shut the window and fix my hair.

When my parents enter the room my mom gasps at my outfit while my dad arches an eyebrow.

"Lilo, whose car is that outside?" He asks strictly.

"Uh..... T-taxi drivers. I went out with some friends tonight and got a taxi home."

"Oh honey you look amazing! Let mommy get some pictures!" She holds up her camera and starts bombarding me with off guard shots.

"Mom, stop..." I groan.

"Your father and I are sorry we weren't able to be with you for you're 18th birthday. We were held up at work, but we bought you some gifts today!" Her arm lifts with paper bags dangling from her fist.

"Thanks mom, I'll check them out later. I'm rather sleepy."

She looks at me and squints her eyes, tapping her lip. "Dear, why is your lipstick all smeared?"

I touch the side of my lip with two fingers and immediately try to wipe it away with my arm. "I Uh...."

At perfect timing Margo barks from beside me, giving me a lie to run with. "Margo did it. You know how playfully he licks. Anyways I'm gonna head to bed, night mom night dad." I yawn.

"Goodnight sweetie." My mom waves, my dad just watches me with a strict expression.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ 💫

"Soooo how was you're date with Tye? Tell us everything." Mina asks as we sit around Chrys' table. Even though it's Friday there's a carnival happening downtown, so the cafe is pretty empty.

"You went on a date with Tye? When?" Teddy asks.

"Last night. He came back from his flight early and took me out to a romantic dinner."

"Awww." Gretchen reacts.

"Yuck." Is all I hear from Chrys before she sips her tea. I roll my eyes at her before Mina shakes my arm aggressively. "So what happened?"

"It was so cute, he reserved the whole restaurant just for us. After we ate we danced to some music... and then we uh..."

"And then what I'm dying here!" Mina rattles me shaking her hair around like a crazy rockstar. She stops abruptly and gasps, speaking in a loud whispery voice. "Did you have sex?!"

"No no! We just made out for a while. But I had to sneak him out of my house before my parents got home."

"Ooooo girl talk *teeheehee* what fun."
We turn to Jungkook's high pitched girly voice, only now realising the boys are sitting on a table right behind us.

"Um, this is a private conversation." Mina crosses her arms.

"What? From the sounds of it Lilo's date sounds magical." He flutters his eyelashes and shakes his hands like a magician.

"Whatever. He said he wants to take me out again when we return to school, I can't wait."

"Sounds exciting." Mina nods.

Taehyung keeps his arms crossed, looking at the floor beneath the table with his lips tucked in.

"T-Taehyung is something wrong?"

Gretchen asks. He snaps up, looking at us all before shaking his head and sighing.

"Nope." He stands up and goes back upstairs. Jimin looks down into the table, making Jungkook stare at Jimin.

—TAEHYUNG'S POV—

It's been a while since I've visited this bar. The guys and I used to come here often, but the idea of drinking senselessly around a bunch of strangers just didn't appeal to me anymore. I grew out of it and preferred to drink alone at home.

I lower the short icy glass from my mouth, letting it's bottom clink against the bar counter top. I didn't bring Jungkook or Jimin with me, in fact I usually don't like these places myself, but I just needed to get away from the cafe and the annoying girl talk.

Does they seriously not see through that guys act? He's scum and she's practically licking it off. She's so stupid sometimes.

But what irritates me is that even though he's scum... She's probably better off being with him than me. She'd be safer.

A figure walks towards me and pulls the bar stool on my side. I don't lift my eyes from my drink, downing another go down my throat while my left elbow rests on the counter.

After a few seconds of expecting an interaction that never came, I turn to my right. Long acrylic nails, heavy makeup, skimpy outfit... I recognise the girl sitting next to me.

"Well if it isn't Lilo's boss, sexiest man alive." A drink swirls in her hand, her legs cross over and point to mine.

The memory of her and her friends  embarrassing lilo at the cafe appears in my mind clearly.

"I'm Trisha..." Both the front and heel of her stilettos rub against my pant leg slowly, followed by a smirk.
"And you are?"

I stare at her blankly before answering, "You already know my name."

"Oh right, Kim Taehyung the BDSM lover. How could I forget."

I look away and ignore her. Her eyes scroll to the side awkwardly before she rests a hand on my arm. I look at her hand before raising an eyebrow at her. Her eyes fix onto my now empty cup.

"I think we could both use a refill."

She pulls away my glass along with her own, walking further down the bar with swaying hips and ordering two drinks. When the bar tender hands them over I see her open her purse and drop something in one of the glasses, more specifically mine.

I keep a blank face when she returns, a red lipped smile tints her face while she pushes the beverage to me. "Here."

After staring at her for a couple of seconds, I raise the glass to my mouth as she does. The drink washes over my lips.

Little does she know my lips are sealed shut.

After drinking half of hers, she sets it down and flicks her hair to look back for a second. My eyes flicker to the counter, using the quick opportunity to swap our glasses.

"There's something I want to ask you." Her head turns back around before she chugs the entire beverage in one go. I hold a blank expression, watching her take her own trap.

"Which is?"

"I know so many girls from school who've applied to that cafe and gotten turned down every time. Why Lilo? Why her of all people? Somebody whose never had a job, never waited a table. That makes no sense... She's not even special."

"For someone who doesn't like her you sure do pay a lot of attention to her."

"Uh, no I don't, I'm just curious as to why you gave someone like her a high paying job when you could have had me. So why huh? Tell me."

I take another sip of my drink without taking my eyes off her.

"How about we talk about something important. Like that's the deal with you and Tye?"

"Excuse me?"

"You were involved with each other in the past, were you not?"

"How do you know about— Who told you? It was two years ago I mean— why are you even asking this?"

Suddenly she's more jumpy, proving that I'm right.

"That's my little secret. I'll tell you one thing though..."

I lean forward on my stall, piercing my eyes into hers.

"If you try to go back to him while he's still with Lilo, you will regret it. Don't make me tell you this again."

As much as I can't stand the thought of them together, I don't want this girl bullying Lilo anymore. I've seen the way Lilo reacts to her games, and I don't want to see it again.

The paranoid look in her eyes is replaced with a devious and flirtatious one.

She leans forward like me, her chest protrudes to show off the cleavage bursting from her top. Her belt-looking mini skirt rides up her thighs while long acrylic nails trace up my thigh.

Trisha's voice falls into a sexy whisper. "If you don't want me being around Tye, how about you give me company instead?"

Before her nails can travel high enough, I slam my hand on her wrist.

"You're a slut, don't touch me."

"E-excuse me?! What did you just call me? You're a man and I'm a woman, you can't call me that!"

I lean forward even closer, my tongue flicking and clicking at each letter,

"S-l-u-t."

"How dare you. I am not the slut, Lilo is. If only you knew how many guys she's been through you'd be sick."

"Stop lying, it's desperate. It's none of your business who I hire, and I certainly don't hire people like you."

"You know what this is? Sexism! You're disgusting! Wait until I tell everybody I know about you, the sexist pig who runs the cafe! They'll never come back agai..." Her eyes start to flutter, head swaying in slow circles. That's my que.

I take one last gulp of my martini and rest the glass on the counter, nodding thank you to the tender and standing from my stool.

As I walk out I hear a loud thud and the sounds of fallen glass behind me. Voices and fast footsteps follow.

"Is she okay??"

"What happened to her?"

"Is she drunk? Somebody help her up!"

I exit the club without turning back.
