CHAPTER 55

"Alright, since we're in this attire it does not mean that we're gonna be doing old poses as well, so girls, summon your inner hoes, you get your pouty faces on and tongues out, guys ya'll can dab or try doing the hype dance, we can get multiple shots." As Joy explained Yohan started doing the Floss dance and Yumi started doing a Tik Tok dance.

"I don't know these people." Luna said but later on she had to follow them.

Every time Joy advised Luna and Haemin to pose together Ella would intervene, it was driving Joy nuts and Haemin could tell so he stepped aside with Ella and sweet talked her into laying low on the co-directing.

"But I wanna help." Ella pouted and Luna and Joy cringed.

"I know sweetie," Haemin said softly and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, "But this is Joy's club and she is very serious about the club not getting any help from the outside, we even have to make the props ourselves."

She looked at the ground, kinda ticked that she would have to let Luna near Haemin.

Haemin pecked her on the lips slightly to convince her completely.

It worked but Luna's insides were in a sickening turmoil. Her heart wanted to turn away from the scene yet her mind insisted that she watch and then get over him.

They took the snaps which came out pretty good in the first round because everyone looked amazing. They all checked each other's cameras for the pictures afterwards and as Luna casually looked to the side, she saw Mark coming towards her with two slushies in his hands and cotton candy.

Luna grinned, but then in her peripheral vision she saw Joy turn towards Mark as well.

Joy gasped and covered her mouth. Mark made eye contact with her but rolled his eyes and then looked back in Luna's direction.

Wait, what? Thought Luna as she slowly assessed what was going on around her.

Mark was walking towards her but meeting him halfway was Haemin's fist. "You bastard!" He shouted.

Mark dropped the things from his hands and retaliated with full force. Seconds later both of them were rolling on the floor, bloodying up each others faces.

Joy screamed and Yohan and Jeongin tried to pull them apart but both of them were overcome by manly ego and rage.

The anger in Haemin's eyes, and the blood dripping from his chin, made him almost unrecognisable and that broke Luna out of her trance and with a shriek she approached them and tried to stop Mark by hugging him slightly and blocking him.

Haemin instantly stopped as he saw her come in between them, Mark also lowered his fist.

"Stay away from my cousin!" Haemin spat.

"Gladly! I wasn't here to see her anyway!" Mark looked at Luna and Joy put a hand to her forehead. She couldn't believe this was happening, her feelings trampled.

Luna pulled away from him and winced when she saw his face and all her mind could think of was how badly it must hurt for Haemin.

She picked up one of the slushies from the ground, glad that it hadn't popped open and spilled, and pressed it to the bruise forming on the side of Mark's face.

"That's my ex-girlfriend, Joy." He whispered.

"Mhm, I got that."

"I swear there's nothing going on between me and her anymore."

"Oh I believe you."

Mark looked behind her and an unrecognisable emotion passed through his eyes and Luna followed his gaze to see him looking at Ella who was tending to Haemin now and she figured Mark was acknowledging their ex-best friend who screwed every thing up. Yeah, she said in her head, there's the bitch.

"I think you should go for now, I need to sort things out here."

"Are you mad that I hit Haemin?"

She sighed, "He hit you first. He gets these rage fits once in a blue moon but he needs to control them."

Mark nodded and left.

She turned around picked up the other slushie and extended it to Haemin, but before he could take it, Joy slapped it out of her hand and this time it opened and spilled all over the floor.

"Did you know the whole time?" She cried, "All those times I was pathetically breaking down in front of you, you must've been laughing at me. Because he left me for you."

Luna shook her head vigorously, "No, I swear Joy, I didnt know your Mark was Mark Kelsey, I didnt even talk to him the whole time I was in Seoul, Im telling the truth please believe me." Her pleading was evident in her eyes and from her hands brought together.

"Well, he's your Mark now, Iv heard about you, the best friend. Apparently you two were inseparable. Although I though your name was Moon."

"I wont date him if you tell me not to." Luna said sincerely and it was weirdly easy for her to.

"Did he kiss you?" Joy asked bluntly and Luna nodded slowly.

"Did you let him?"

Luna looked at the ground and nodded dismally, once more.

Joy sighed, she believed her but that didnt lessen the pain.

"Alright," she addressed the other members, "I promised you all that we'd go on the ride one last time, right? Lets go."

They all quietly made their way to the more crowded parts of the park and parted ways to get to their desired rides.

Luna stuck with Ella, Haemin and Joy.

Ella pointed to the Ferris Wheel, "I wanna go on that one, Haemin, come on."

Haemin looked at her hesitantly and then at the ride,

"He's afraid of heights." Joy said harshly and she was once again reminded that Luna would be the perfect partner for Haemin, though that dream seemed as possible as world peace now.

To prove her stubbornness, Ella rolled her eyes and said that she'd go on the ride alone then.

Luna contemplated her plan for a second and then followed Ella up the stairs and sat next to her on the ride.

Ella rolled her eyes and visibly showed her discontent but Luna didnt mind, it made what she was about to do easier.

As the ride started, Luna spoke up, " You can have Haemin, but on one condition."

Ella scoffed, "And who are you to allow me?"

Luna sneered, "I dont suppose he'll stick with you, knowing you gave a false testimony in court that put me in jail for five years."

Ella looked away quietly, and as the wind scattered her hair, she whispered, "What's the condition?"

"Love him, be good to him, he deserves no less!"

"That's none of your bussiness."

Luna slapped a hand on the seat space between them, "You can fucking bet it is. I should have never stopped that Frenchie from having you,"

Ella snapped her head towards Luna as she relentlessly went on, "Stop it."

"Because apparently, older men are you type."

Ella trembled, mortified, "Stop."

"Here's what you're going to do, you worthless bitch, you're going to fire that manager of yours and try to do better by Haemin."

Harshly swiping away her tears, she replied, "Fine."

Luna was done but the ride wasnt and they sat there, both in a bubble of resentment and loathe.

"You're a monster." Ella said, sounding almost like a child wanting to fight back but too weak to use force.

"Thanks." Sarcastically, said Luna.

"And a killer!"

"Couldn't be more proud."

"You like Haemin don't you?"

Luna didnt reply and closed her eyes as the ride went down once more, she couldn't pinpoint if the tingling in her stomach was gravity pulling her down or the urge to cry.

"I'd tell you to go back to Mark but then again, if you're avoiding men Iv fucked then you should add him to that list too."

At this shocking revelation, Luna's eyes flew open.
