Audrey POV.
We ultimately loosened from the intense kiss, I took my eyes away from his face, timidly. As soon as I realized my hands were still relaxed at his nape, I wanted to withdraw, but he held them firmly, causing me to steal at glance at him. His emerald eyes invaded mine strongly, telling many emotions that are running across his face.
I gulped down, hoping my heart wouldn't fly out of my chest soon. “I'm waiting,” He breathed, his eyes not departing from mine.
I folded my lips. Of course, I'm feeling on top of the world now, his outburst still marvels me. I never knew my Duffer could be so courageous to say all that.
I smiled at his loving face, even my heart and I will definitely conflict each other if I say no to him. Moreover, this guy standing right before me has completely turned me into someone else, I become powerless each time I'm around him. “Uhm mm… Aaron,” I began, with a fulfilled smile glimmering on my lips.
“Yes, darling” He raised his brows, smiling sheepishly. He circled his hands around my waist as he drew me closer to himself, and we both giggled. “I…”
My phone buzzes on the table, interrupting what I was about to say.
“Ugh” He groaned. I poked his chest before turning around to pick the phone. It's Kwan.
I picked the phone after the third ring.
“Hey, Kwan”
“Where are you Audrey, your mom has been search everywhere for you” She said frantically. I glanced at the sulking Duffer and chuckled softly. “I'll be there shortly,” I told her and hung up immediately.
I picked my shimmering silver purse and threw my phone inside. “Come on Aaron, let's go” I signaled at him to come forward, and he frowned. “No, I'll wait here,” He pouts.
“Are you sure?” I raised my brows. He nodded and sat on a chair.
“Okay then” I shot him a sweet smile before finding my way out of the canopy.
I got outside and breath out softly, grin not leaving my face, I'm so happy now, in fact, I feel so fulfilled. Now I discovered how much I've been longing to have him, I pressed a finger on my lips and my smile grew.

“You kissed?!” Hazel screamed, and I quickly covered her mouth with my palm. “Keep it low, girl,” I cautioned, removing my hand from her lips. “You and Min jun kissed?” Kwan also asked, like she just heard wrong.
I only nodded, positioning my hands on my cheeks as the memory came flooding in.
“Audrey, are you for real now?” Ryan inquired this time. “It's the truth, girls,” I rolled my eyes and without noticing it coming, they jumped on me.” Awww, I'm so happy for you,” Hazel and Ryan says simultaneously before releasing from the hug. “So, tell us, how was it?” Kwan asked, beaming with smiles. My cheeks flamed up immediately. “Oh my goodness, she's blushing really hard, she has practically turns crimson,” Ryan says with a big smile on her face. I shut my eyes, remembering that moment he'd taken my lips into his mouth.
“It was incredible, girls” I opened my eyes, smiling widely. “Whoa…” They chorused.
“It lasted for how long?” Ryan asked, and they all kept quiet, staring at my face, impatiently.
“I don't know, but he withdrew first actually, I never wanted such sweet moment to come to an end,” I told them before folding my lips.
“Oh my… She's really in love, isn't she?” Hazel teases, nudging my arm playfully.
“Girls…” I called, looking at their faces, and it says 'tell us already' “He asked me to be his girl” I told them, and they all jumped on each other, happily.
“What was your response?”
“What did you tell him?”
“You said yes, right?”
They all asked at the same time, breathlessly. Their eyes piercing into mine for answers. I shook my head negatively, and I watched as their shoulders dropped. “I was completely speechless back there, all thanks to Kwan's call” I told them, “So what are you saying Audrey, you don't love him to be his girl?” Kwan asked, with a hint of sadness in her voice. “That's not the case, Kwan” I breathe out, ruefully.
“Would you tell us the case then?” Ryan demanded. “He still needs to know the truth,” I told them. Ryan and Kwan exchanged a glance before nodding their heads in agreement. Kwan turned to look at their faces, “What truth?” She whispered.
“It was actually a Truth or Dare game,” Hazel spoke up, pushing her hair back from her face. “Yes, Audrey was dared to go and tell Min jun she loves him,” Ryan expanded.
“So we think Min jun believed it,” Hazel said again. I just watched their mouths as they talk, speechlessly.
“Why are you just telling me this?” Kwan queried. “So it was only a dare all along?” I heard his steady but rough voice, I trembled on my feet immediately before turning around. “Min jun, you're… Here?” Ryan stammered, but he solely stared at my face, without saying a word.
“When did you get here?” I managed to ask, striding towards him.
“Don't come any close” He said harshly, and I halted my steps immediately.
“Just listen to me, Aaron,” I said pleadingly, tears welling up in my eyes already.
“So it was just a dare, you never loved me? He asked calmly, but I caught a glimpse of water in his eyes. “Just allow me to explain myself, please,” I implored, walking closer to him. He counted his steps backward while he says, “I thought you loved me, I believed you when you confess your love to me, but it was just a game, you never loved me?” His voice throbbed with emotions, and as soon as I ran to meet him, he turned around and ran off. “Aaron!” I shouted after him, but he didn't stop. “Listen to me, please,” I cried, crouching to the floor.
