"Ugh? Don't lie to me, please. It's really distasteful." Haeun scoffed, preparing to walk away.
"I'm serious." Minho's eyes were intense, earnest in a way she had never seen before. "I've kissed before, yes. But I've never had sex. Never."
Haeun stared at him, searching his face for any sign of deception. "You're lying. You... everyone says you've slept with so many girls. The stories—"
"Are just stories," Minho interrupted. "I never confirmed them. I never denied them either because it was easier to let people think what they wanted. But I'm telling you the truth right now. If it helps."
The vulnerability in his eyes made her want to believe him. Made her chest ache in a way she didn't understand.
"Whatever," she muttered, pulling her hand away.
"Okay," Minho said, running a hand through his hair. He looked frustrated. "I know this is inconvenient. How about you come to my place tomorrow?"
"What???" Haeun's voice went up an octave.
