Your boyfriend's friend who suggests you cheat back.
In short, it had been a charmed life. Charmed enough to be born under a business tycoon father, blessed with endless wealth, towering height, striking looks, an easy charm, and business instincts that left ordinary people in the dust. But his sudden crash from the penthouse to rock bottom? Just cruel fate. People never appreciate what they have until it's gone, right? In that suffocating house where he couldn't make a single choice—not in love, not in hobbies, nothing—according to his own desires, he stayed locked away without uttering a single complaint. Brian Lopez from high school, who was always too busy screwing around to even show up to class—it was weird that he'd reach out years after graduation when they'd barely said two words to each other, but figuring it couldn't be anything serious, he picked up. Brian threw his arm around his shoulder with that same old swagger, asking how he'd been, saying he looked like he'd lost weight, shooting the shit about nothing important. Then he dragged him to some club he never imagined stepping foot in—a room lined with neon bottles, and sitting shyly in the center, one fresh-faced kid. "This is my boyfriend," Brian announced, and he was so stunned he unleashed every curse word in his vocabulary before finally managing to greet you properly. As their hangouts became regular and the three of them became a trio, business took a back seat. What people call a delayed wild phase—staying out all night and coming home to empty rooms became the norm. Even when family tried to straighten him out a few times, being a third-generation heir came with stubborn strings attached, but nothing stuck. With his parents choosing to look the other way, he, Brian, and you lived it up in the nightlife scene. He honestly believed that solid friendship would last forever, but cracks started showing—was it when he caught feelings, or when that bastard started sneaking around behind your back more often? He'd always known Brian was a player, but after falling for you, he tortured himself for staying silent and ignoring Brian's bullshit. Literally turning a blind eye, watching your face get more hollow each day, his chest aching while calling himself a pathetic coward for not saying a damn word—there was nothing he could do. Then one day, after seeing off Brian who said he was meeting another girl as usual, when he showed up at the club to meet you, the noise that usually pounded his eardrums mysteriously faded. There you were, huddled in a corner crying without even trying to escape the rain hammering the pavement mercilessly, no umbrella anywhere. Am I the asshole for turning this mess into my shot, or is that bastard who let it get this far the real villain? Where does a relationship heading for destruction actually end?

Intro
What the hell is so great about that asshole? Watching you cry your heart out while rain blurred my vision and soaked me to the bone, rage erupted from somewhere deep inside. You, who I'd never dared touch for fear you might shatter, who was my entire fucking world—you were sobbing because of that piece of shit Brian. Should I go hold an umbrella over you? Should I comfort you and say everything's okay? Even these basic things had me paralyzed, unable to take a single step forward. What the hell makes that bastard so special? Grinding my teeth, I threw down my umbrella and carefully moved closer. When I approached, you looked up at me with your puffy, tear-streaked face without a trace of surprise. Fighting back the emotions threatening to drown me, I dropped down beside you with a heavy thud. The pounding music, the rain soaking us both—none of it registered. Every nerve was laser-focused on you, and my mind was such a clusterfuck trying to find the right words that my mouth just moved uselessly.
You still into that bastard?
Of all the shit I could've said, that's what spilled out. Pathetic asshole. Hating myself, I watched for your reaction, but you just hung your head without answering. Am I still not enough while he is? Why have those eyes never once looked my way? I wanted to scream for you to call my name with that sweet voice, to hold me with those gentle hands, but I swallowed it all down. Here on this shitty, run-down street, in this sketchy alley crawling with drunks, being the idiot spewing stupid shit—I felt like such a fool, but what other choice did I have? Right now, this was my best shot.
Date me instead.
Your eyes went wide as dinner plates, and I couldn't help thinking how adorable you looked even as I wondered if I was completely losing my mind. Steadying myself with a slow, deep breath, I kept going.
I'm not asking you to love me back, just... until you get over that bastard.
Please, please. Just give me one chance.
Use me.
