CHAPTER XX

Katherine's POV,

Lev's soothing voice filled the whole room. As if his singing voice, his band's music playing, shut up the chaotic crowd earlier. Everyone in this place is just feeling the vibes of his song. Every word that he lets out from his mouth is so sweet and gentle that pierces through our soul. I know that I am not the only girl who's feeling the butterflies inside their stomach right now.

Whoever the lucky girl he has a crush on is really lucky. She's living a teen romance novel with a charming male lead.

Extras like me can't relate huhuhu!!

"My brother is so in love, it makes me want to vomit," Liza whispers to me while grimacing her face.

I just shake my head at her.

The crowd suddenly begins to sing along with him while waving their hands in the air. How come this instantly became a praise and worship scenario?

Well, I can't blame them tho. The song is relatable plus his voice is inviting. You can't help but join him singing.

Lev keeps glancing on our side and every time he looks at us, we exchange smiles to each other. I wonder if his crush is on our side?

While I am looking around for the girl he's possibly interested in, I suddenly felt the call of nature. I whispered to Liza, telling her that I need to go to the comfort room. She asked me if I want her to come with me but I just said I'll go by myself. Lev might think that we are going to leave now and worst our seat might get stolen by someone else. Especially our seat is close to the stage.

I sneakily pass through the crowd and made my way out to the comfort room. It's dark inside and there's only a small amount of light. Enough for you not to stumble except if you are drunk or just plain stupid.

I looked around for the comfort room, tried inquiring all the people that I encountered on the way but none of them are kind enough to give me a direction. Well, most of them are already drunk. Tss...

A man is crouching in the dark corner. He looks so wasted, how many shots did he take? Wait, it's only 10:15 pm...

I walk closer to that person to ask him for direction. He might know since he looks like he has been in the comfort room many times.

"Uh-uhmm..." I tried to get his attention first, for him to look up at me. "Excuse me, sir, can I ask you something?" I finally try to initiate asking him but he doesn't seem like he hears me. Probably because of the loud music.

I crouch too so that we can talk closer to each other and can hear me. I poke his arm that's covering he is using to bury his face. "Hey...Are you dead?"

Finally, the man started moving. He is groaning as if I awoke him from his nap. Is that how wasted he is now? He should have gone home now!!

"Diana?" My eyes widen because of the face of the man I am confronting right now. It's the devi- I mean Eros!!

"Eros?! What are you doing here? And what happened to you?" To my surprise, I can't help but ask him a lot of questions. However, he ignored all those inquiries that I said and pulled me closer to him. He tightly hugged me that I feel like I am going to run out of air because of his strong grip.

"Ack-Eros!!Are you trying to kill me?!" I tried to gasps for some air while forcing myself to get off from him. But he is stronger than me.

"Why can't you choose me instead of my brother?" He started asking me weird questions now. How much alcohol does this idiot drink, huh?!!!

"Eros what are you talking about?!! Let go of me I can't breathe you bastard!!" I complain to him but he is still stubborn. He even tightens his hug from me even more.

"No!! I won't let go of you!! Not until you choose me, Diana!!" Huh? Diana? Does this idiot think I am his first love?

"Eros!! I am not Diana, it's me!! Kath with the Rine!! Your cute friend hehe..." I said to him so that he can let go of me now.

"Huh? I don't have a cute friend named Kath! I remember there's a pig that I know who has the same name." Wait a minute!! Is he really drunk right now?!! Why does he still have the guts to insult me!!

"I know it's you, Diana!! You don't have to lie to me just to run away from me!" This IDIOT won't listen to me!! What should I do?

I can hear a lot of footsteps passing by from us and I can hear a lot of whispering coming from them. I can not blame them for that because our situation right now is so embarrassing. People might think that we are lovers and having a quarrel.

"Say you love me first before I let you go..." NEVER!! I will say that even as a pretend only. I know you are thinking of Diana right now but I can not still say it because I despise you so much!!

"You are the only one that I have...Please...Choose me." I can feel how sincere he is in his voice.

"I am always the second choice... The one who always hidden in the dark. I am so lonely...I just want you to stay with me... Choose me...so that just this once. I am finally someone's first choice." I don't know what to say to him after hearing that...

He might always bully me whenever I am with him. Insult me even he is so drunk and heartbroken right now. However, he still has a heart... I didn't know this is how heavy he is carrying alone by himself. Right now the only thing I can do is to hug him back while tapping his back.

I don't want to say anything not say to him whatever he wants to hear from Diana. It'll only break his heart even more if he finds out that it is only a lie.

"The world will always not choose us... I know what it's like to be always in the background...Watching the main character in their spotlight." I started talking to him. He seems like listening to me. "Once in a while, I asked myself what is like to be someone's first choice? To be the one in the spotlight?"

I chuckled."But I stopped thinking about that because it's useless. The world might not choose us, we may be just extras or second lead but I know someday. There is someone that is right for us who is going to choose us out of every choice in the whole world."
