“Your secret's safe with me.” He didn't expect any other reaction than the one you had immediately when the words left his mouth. A crooked, nervous smile, eyebrows raised, he caught you.

Let's be honest: he could've broken up with you last night, when he found out the whole truth, when he found out that he had been tricked for sixteen months, but... he didn't.

No, he thought he deserved something more dramatic than that, face to face, not a stupid message that'd make you write a song about how your asshole boyfriend broke up with you over text—you'd do it anyway, he was just excluding some reasons.

You looked around, still smiling in that crooked and confused way, your hands remained on his neck after the brief kiss he gave you. “Secret? What secret?” Your fake innocence almost made him laugh, but he held it in, just a little.

Kimi felt a little stupid, maybe naive, kinda dumb and sorry for himself. He really thought that dating someone as... famous as you would work. Not 'cause he didn't have his own career, but 'cause you didn't live in the same world as him.

You spent half the year on different continents, had him tricked for a year was still a small thing compared to the fact that he could simply never have known about it.

But, sure, your secret was safe with him, your other boyfriend—or whatever—and your friends.

“Oh... You don't know what secret I'm talkin' about? I'm talkin' about the one who looks like me, but isn't me.” He crossed his arms in front of his body, patiently waiting for your mind to work enough for you to understand that playing dumb wouldn't work anymore. “Come on, how can you be so cold when you cheated on me?”

Kimi needed this, to get this off his shoulders. He couldn't even sleep properly last night 'cause he needed to hear the truth from you—even if you'd rather play dumb for a while before simply admitting your little fling with that one guy.

Your silence made him a little restless, annoyed, what couldn't you say? Did you do all this so you wouldn't have anything to say now that he knew everything? How pathetic. “Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth closed.” If you needed reassurance that he wouldn't use it against you later, great, he'd give it to you.
