I was in a car accident and ended up in the hospital. Suddenly, I had an urge to tease my boyfriend.
"Who are you?" I asked, watching Lucas's face freeze. I was about to laugh when Lucas suddenly pointed to his best friend Quinn and said, "I'm your boyfriend's friend. He's your boyfriend, Quinn."
My expression stiffened.
But Quinn stepped forward and said, "That's right, I'm your boyfriend."
I forced a smile and said, "Then take me home."

Quinn took me back to his place. He said I'd always lived there.
Looking around at a place devoid of any traces of my life, I nodded along, playing blind just like him.
I slept in his bed for a while, then wanted to get some water. As I was about to leave the room, I overheard a conversation from the living room.
"Quinn, do me a solid and pretend to be Lily's boyfriend for a while."
"Aren't you worried she might suddenly regain her memory?"
"If she does and gets angry, I'll just smooth things over. She loves me so much, she wouldn't really leave me anyway. It's just that things have gotten a bit stale between us lately. This is a good chance to take a breather and have some fun on the side."
"Looks like you and Charlotte have really hit it off, huh? You just want to play around with her for a bit?"
"You know me too well. But of course I love Lily more. While Lily's with you, don't you dare touch her. Though among my bros, I trust you the most. You seem to really dislike Lily anyway."
I stepped back barefoot, then made some noise at the door before walking towards the living room.
Quinn quickly hung up and came over when he heard the sound.
"The floor's cold. Why aren't you wearing slippers?" Quinn hurried over and scooped me up, placing me on the sofa.
"I'm thirsty," I said, unsure where to find water.
"I'll get it for you." Quinn went to the water dispenser and poured me a glass.
He sat beside me and asked, "Anywhere else feeling uncomfortable?"
I shook my head after drinking the water.
He reached out to smooth my messy hair, leaning in to kiss my forehead.
I froze, remembering I'd just heard Lucas tell him not to touch me.
I also thought Quinn disliked me.
But now...
When he kissed my lips, I turned away.
He casually stroked my face, "You don't remember. We'll take it slow, let you get used to me again."
It seemed this Quinn guy was deceiving his own friend too.

When Quinn brought me to the private room, it was already lively inside.
A group of rich heirs fell silent when they saw me arrive, looking towards Lucas in unison.
"Oh, Lily's here! Do you remember me? I'm Charlotte, your college roommate!" the girl sitting next to Lucas greeted me.
Quinn led me to sit down. I looked at her and shook my head, "I'm sorry."
"That's alright, we can all get to know each other again," Charlotte said, intimately leaning on Lucas's shoulder.
This former college roommate turned friend seemed to be flaunting her closeness to Lucas now that she thought I had amnesia, barely concealing her smugness.
Lucas also appeared to relish being intimate with another woman in front of me, as if getting a special thrill from it.
"How nice that both you best friends' boyfriends are in this circle!"
"You can all hang out together often, memory loss or not."
The other friends all understood the situation but tacitly agreed not to say anything, seemingly taking perverse pleasure in watching an oblivious person being publicly betrayed.
They continued playing games.
Lucas and Charlotte were eating the same cookie, their mouths getting closer with each bite.
"Kiss! Kiss!" everyone started chanting.
In the charged atmosphere, Lucas and Charlotte shared a deep kiss.
Afterwards, Charlotte shyly nestled in Lucas's arms, sneaking a smug glance at me.
Lucas held Charlotte contentedly.
Then I lost a game and had to take a penalty - kissing someone for 30 seconds.
Everyone fell silent, curious who I would choose.
Surely I wouldn't instinctively pick Lucas?
Lucas seemed nervous, avoiding eye contact.
He apparently didn't want me to have an instinctive reaction so soon.
Quinn beside me also tensed up.
I smiled and said, "Of course I'll pick my boyfriend."

I said this as I turned to Quinn, "Shall we?"
I clearly felt Quinn relax.
He looked at me steadily and leaned in.
I took the initiative to wrap my arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Woah," came a chorus of surprised sounds.
These people may have seen Lucas embrace other women and kiss them, but they certainly never expected to see me do this with another man.
So they let out surprised "woahs", but then suddenly fell silent.
Quinn seemed to kiss without restraint, pursuing aggressively.
His tongue swept through my mouth, chasing and entangling with mine. His arm around my waist tightened, as if wanting to swallow me whole.
After 30 seconds, I pulled away to see Lucas's face dark with anger. That's why everyone had suddenly gone quiet.
How laughable.
Quinn gently wiped away a bit of moisture at the corner of my mouth.
"What's wrong with everyone? Didn't I just take my penalty?" I asked, feigning confusion at the strange atmosphere.
"Lily may have amnesia but she's certainly not shy with her boyfriend," Charlotte's words dripped with sarcasm at my apparent stupidity.
Lucas looked even more displeased.
I went to the restroom outside, but overheard voices coming from the stairwell.
"Quinn, I told you not to touch her. That was out of line just now." Lucas's voice was cold.
"It was just a game. She has amnesia - did you expect her to choose you, who has a woman by his side? That wouldn't make sense. I'm the boyfriend you personally chose for her now." Quinn's tone was light.
Lucas fell silent, then said, "Fine, just be careful. I don't believe you'd actually be into Lily and sleep with her, but try to avoid intimate contact if you can. It must be hard for you to tolerate too, right? I feel bad putting you in this position."
"Hmph, you know me well," Quinn replied.
