"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

    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

    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

    Narrator Later that afternoon, even though it was nearing the end of office hours, not Chris nor Jihyun stopped their work. Jihyun wasn’t lying when she told her mother she'd had her hands full. As for Chris, on the other hand, he was trying to juggle and settle a few pieces of paperwork as his father was interested in buying a new piece of land in Beijing, China. “Chris!! Oppa!! Where are you?” the younger female yelled as she entered the office with Luke tailing behind her. Disturbing the peace in Chris’s quiet office, they left the door wide open. Not once caring to close it or wait for Jihyun’s return. “Wait…Aliaa? Luke?” Chris looked up from his papers, shocked by the sudden noise. He frowned when the female happily skipped towards his couch and slumped down. “Hiii!” she beamed, making Luke chuckle. Staring at them for a few moments, Chris tried to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but it was futile when Aliaa giggled at something Luke said. Sighing, he put down his

    NarratorOnce Chris and Jihyun were left alone, she didn’t waste time and slapped his hands away from her. Chris didn’t have it in him to feel offended as he knows, he was at fault. Glaring at the male in silent rage, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?” gone was the calm and collected woman, as Chris looked at her apologetically.“Whoa, calm down!” Chris placed his hands on her shoulder and massaged them softly. He was hoping to reduce her anger but she looks nowhere near calm. “Maybe I should have thought this through? But the deed’s already done… what am I going to do?”This was the first time he’s seeing Jihyun like this, so, the surprise would be an understatement for Chris. Jihyun had always been a woman who was good at keeping her feelings hidden from him, she was always so professional. So, to see her being this expressive because of his small decision, made him feel bad.“Don’t touch me! What the hell was that?! What the hell did you do?!” nose flared and breathing heavy, her eyes were

    NarratorAfter the long and horrible day for Jihyun, the only thing she wants is her bed and to sleep it all away. The events of the day were something she doesn’t want to think about. Or at least until she’s freshened up. The least would be, to leave her alone to her thoughts and let her reboot her mind till she’s ready.Letting her body sink into her soft queen size bed, Jihyun moaned at the softness and bounciness of it. Sleeping seemed like the best option after everything, but she knows, if she doesn’t shower now, she won’t till the next day. She internally wished her parents, specifically her mother, won’t come and bother her for not showing up at dinner earlier.Her tired ears picked up the sound of the door opening, “Hyun baby, you are home early,” instead of her mother, it was her sister who greeted her sarcastically. The older woman stood by her bedroom door, hands on her hips. “Very funny unnie,” of course she knew why her sister said that. Her mother had been blasting her

    NarratorComing out of the shower fully clothed, Jihyun was surprised to see another figure on her bed. “Jiso unnie, what are you doing here and not at home?” she paused as the cogwheels in her mind worked. “Now that I think about it… Jiyu unnie shouldn't be here as well, why are you guys here? Wait, are the kids here as well?”The thoughts of the earlier dinner that she did not attend went out the window as she talks. But her sister said nothing and gestured her over, so Jihyun did as told. As she sat down next to her middle sister, despite her tired body, some level of excitement bubbled inside.Thinking about her little angels, the tiring and confusing day didn’t seem so bad. Even though she cannot fulfill the promises she made, to be able to see them tomorrow would still be satisfying for Jihyun’s packed schedule.“Let’s see, Brianoppahas to attend to a few family matters toda

    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“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

    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

    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
