Part 2The Ugly King and the Beauty Queen

Listening to the raucous cheers, I didn't hesitate.

This wasn't a humiliation; this was a reward.

Most importantly, I fell in love with the handsome guy at first sight.

The people around the handsome guy clearly heard the commotion and glared at me, telling me to get lost.

I ignored them and sat directly next to him.

I saw a flicker of humiliation in his eyes.

I didn't get it. I’m not bad looking. Even if he didn't want a kiss, "humiliation" seemed a bit strong.

Without thinking too much, I opened my mouth to confess.

But the handsome guy glanced at Chad's group and spoke with a hint of self-mockery. "I, Liam, may be ugly, but I only kiss my girlfriend."

Me: Excuse me?

Handsome, do you hear yourself?

You're ugly?

YOU'RE UGLY?!

You could be a K-pop idol right now.

But that wasn't the point.

My heart raced. I grabbed his hand. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Liam paused. "No..."

I didn't let him finish. "Well, you do now."

Liam: ...

"You're not speaking, so I'll take that as a yes."

"Since I'm your girlfriend, can I kiss you now?"

Liam looked at me, let out a self-deprecating laugh, and leaned back against the sofa. "You're really going all out for Chad."

That languid posture made me lose my mind.

Knowing he misunderstood, I straightened up and leaned over him.

Eye to eye, I whispered a compliment about his eyes, then kissed him.

Liam looked shocked. His lips were soft, and I lingered.

The crowd gasped.

The next second, Chad's angry voice rang out. "Sarah! What are you doing?!"

I wanted to continue my exchange with Liam.

But Chad was too loud.

I turned around impatiently. "Are you blind? I'm kissing my boyfriend."

Liam instinctively put a hand on my waist.

The scene descended into chaos. Chad tried to grab me, Liam protected me, and the two groups started fighting.

I later learned they were arch-enemies. Chad just wanted to use me to humiliate Liam.
