NarratorChris had told her with a note to go meet up with Aliaa and her friends at the coffee house and that was where she is headed. On her way there she kept receiving stares and whispers from the staff as they thought she didn’t understand anything. "Well, just your luck, I do understand; every damn word. I hope you would just shut up. Really, it’s not like I want to be in this position," she made her way to Aliaa as the younger waved her over. Aliaa was sitting with the girls along with the wedding planner and organizer.“Unnie, you remember my friends, right?” Aliaa hugs Jihyun’s hand as if it was a natural thing to do, drags her over, and made Jihyun sit next to the girls that she met at the airport. Jihyun gave them a small smile in greeting as they all were still not used to each other yet. Aliaa told her to stay put as she gets her some pancakes even though Jihyun said she could get them herself.“Hi and good morning Jihyun. We are sorry we couldn’t stay but got to run...” Se
NarratorMeanwhile, Chris was busy with his friends since he came down. After having breakfast together, he took his time to greet some family members while they went away and meet up with staff that needed his attention. Once he was done, he didn't waste time and looked for his small group of friends.“Hey dude, how are the preparations going for lunch?” Chris could see the male monitoring the lunch barbeque preparations. The staffers were busy making sure there are enough plates, utensils, glass, and other things at the private beach that is owned by the resort. They start to move a lot more as they spot their big boss watching.“Everything’s great. Thanks for asking. I’m just informing you, your parents got here early when you were still sleeping so I told them you guys can meet for the barbeque,” there was a small laughter laced in his best friend's voice, but Chris ignored it and looked almost bored. “Were they expecting me? Did they say anything?”Luke took his time to answer as
Narrator“Unnie, I’ve been meaning to ask you, and I didn’t want to ask Chris this. I was waiting to talk to you...” Aliaa starts with a serious face as the rest stop their chatter to listen to her intentionally, interested. “What is it? If I could answer it, I will,” even Jihyun was hooked, the younger looked so serious, that Jihyun's heartbeat rise quickly.Instead of talking, Aliaa played with her fingers as if she was nervous, “Of course you can. This question is about you, well… it sort of has to do something with Chris as well but…” she bit her lower lip, the serious look now faded and Jihyun was worried about the question more than why Aliaa was like the way she is. “Okay? What is it?” waiting for Ailaa's words, Jihyun's heart almost stopped beating when she heard the question.“Well… how did you and Chris end up together? Like, how did it happen?” the look on her face was so serious as if her expression didn't go from serious to worried then back to serious, that it made her fr
Narrator“Where are the girls? No, wait, where’s Aliaa?” Chris didn't want to voice it, but he did as he looked at Luke and he glances at his phone as they are all enjoying a glass of champagne under the shades. Philip and Xiuming had requested it and it didn’t seem wrong to have a bit of alcohol during the day. "Where is she? Has she eaten yet? How come she hasn’t read any of my text?"“Maybe still at the coffee house, gossiping? You know how girls are, especially your cousin,” Luke shrugs like it wasn’t a big deal. “Aren’t you worried?” he held back his tongue at how laid back his best friend looked. “About what?”“She’s not here, in front of you. Aren’t you worried about her? Something can happen to her you know...?”“Of course I worry about her, she’s my fiancée… but she also wants some time away from me to spend it with her friends and such, she still has her freedom you know… I don’t have the right to tell her to stay close to me all the time,”“I know, but-“Chris didn’t get to f
NarratorMeanwhile, as the family members from both sides arrived to join the open barbecue, a blonde male walked towards the lobby to check in with the rest. But he stopped short when he saw a familiar figure walking in the same direction as him, “Cameron!” calling to the said female, she turned around and smiled brightly at him in surprise. Her heart raced when he came toward her with a smile plastered on his handsome face. "Did you just got here?" both of them asked at the same time, and it caused them to laugh before nodding at the same time.Winking at Cameron, Raymond didn't need to say anything else for her to know that he was going to flirt with her as if he never met her. “Yeah, I was about to enter the lobby but I saw you’re beautiful face from a mile away,” and with that, she chuckled with a shake of her head. It might look like she was used to his joke but truth be told, deep down, she had always loved and hated it when he does.Hated it because he doesn't mean a word he sa
Narrator"There you are!" Jihyun almost jumped in surprise when she 'exit' the comfort room. Acting as if she wasn't scared by his panicked and worried call earlier, and as if she wasn't just pushed up against the walls a few feet away from where they stood by her ex. Jihyun looked at Chris with a look of pure shock and almost felt overwhelmed when he looked at her for a little too long. "Chris? Is everything okay?""Okay?! Are you-" he looked almost ridiculed for having the woman asked him if he was fine, "I am not okay Jihyun! Didn't I just tell you how worried I was when I couldn't reach you earlier today?" If she was faking her shock a few minutes ago, this time it was real. "You asked to be excused to the comfort room but it's been almost fifteen minutes and I was this close to losing my mind thinking something bad happened to you!"Jihyun blinked her eyes, as she didn't know how to reply to his worried attitude and gesture. She knows he was worried for her safety but to see him
NarratorJihyun stare at the ceiling with a sigh, she’d thought being Chris’s fake girlfriend was easy, but it was easier said than done and what’s worst, her feelings got confused just by his small touches and gentle words. Somehow, it didn’t help either when Raymond suddenly showed up, she’s is afraid that Raymond will tell Chris the truth before she got the chance to explain herself."It’d be easy if I don’t feel anything… is the theory or falling for someone in 60 seconds real? Am I falling for him? But why am I so scared of him finding out? Does it have anything to do with my feelings at all?" thoughts after thoughts flood into her mind, making her move her small frame relentlessly around the bed. Unknown to her, Chris was watching her closely, “You know, you’ve been sighing a lot after we left the party, was it my parents?” Chris could not take his eyes away from her lying on the bed, looking lost and a bit distraught. Chris dragged her back to their room and Jihyun immediately
NarratorWaking up and feeling like her body was made out of leads, she frowned when the emptiness of the room greeted her. Trying to recall what happened to her before her nap, Jihyun's nose scrunched as her memories were blurry. "Did something happened to me?" she asked aloud as she looked into the vanity mirror, confused as to why there was a hickey on her collarbone suddenly. Try as she might, the happenstance of Luke and Aliaa's old schoolmates flashed and what came next played a stupid movie for her."CHRIS!" she blushed yet her red face wasn't just because she felt butterflies with his action, but it was also due to the fact she was frustrated with the male. His "Don't question the skin-ship I do or intent," was driving her crazy as their days here progressed.***“Don’t, don't go Jihyun...” he whispers in his deep voice as if he knew what kind of effect it has on her, letting shivers run down her spine, back hugging her still.“W-why?” Jihyun shuttered, "Shit!" she felt Chris
Narrator“Good morning,” she greets the younger. “Oh, good morning unnie; it’s good to see you early today and out of bed,” a sly look painted on her face and Jihyun couldn’t help but blush. The happenstance of her wakeup call and in the elevator flashed but she kept her composure.Clearing her throat as if to look not so embarrassed, Jihyun composed herself and uttered a bit confidently, “That was yesterday. He woke up early today to make sure no one intruded on our morning.” Aliaa wiggled her eyebrows as if to say she knew what the older man meant: “I can see why.”“Stop teasing me, please; spare me the embarrassment. I’m here for an omelette.” Aliaa couldn’t help but laugh as Jihyun’s complexion was turning redder as they spoke, so the younger female did spare her the teasing. “Then order away, unnie.” She couldn’t help
NarratorThe next morning, Chris wakes up before his phone can ring, making sure to close all sorts of alarms on it. He stretches to his side and smiles as he watches Jihyun sleep, still as a baby, as the duvet covers both of their lower body parts. ”It hasn’t been more than 5 nights, but I kind of like waking up with you by my side... What have you done to me, Hyun?”She is sleeping on her side, showing him her front as her hands make a pillow for herself. Soft breathing could be heard, and that told Chris that she was still far away in dreamland. She looks peaceful as she sleeps, and it got him thinking about many things, good and bad, that he could do with her.His thoughts ran wild as he traced her face with his fingers and softly pulled her body closer to his, giving her his arm as a pillow. Her hair, which was a bit messy, had been brushed aside so Chris could get a better view of her bare face. Her skin is pale yet radiant without any form of makeup, complementing her high chee
