“So… how’s life going? Is it hard working for him and dating him? Aren't you bored seeing Chris so much? Does he take advantage of the fact you two work in the same building?” Xiuming asked those questions to Jihyun like some bullet train, making the female overwhelmed.
Before she could retort, someone exhaled beside her. Chris had a pissed-off face next to her as he glared at his friends. “Stop asking her questions already!” he did not hide his irritation, yet it only made his friends smirk at his reaction.
Because… it’s not every day they can see him this riled up, especially if the source is a woman.
“No! She hasn’t answered yet,” Philip added, quiet childishly, making Chris groan and cupped his face in annoyance. “One of these days, I am going to kill you guys for doing this,” but they merely laughed it off and contin

Narrator“Chris hyung, we’re here,” Hunter shook Chris lightly as the older slowly woke up. “What?” Chris’s voice was a bit hoarse from sleeping and he was having a hard time moving for an odd reason.“I said we’re here. We’ve arrived in Japan, hyung. Wake Jihyun up,” Hunter chimed and left with Soojung, who was smiling at the position Jihyun and Chris were in. She found them very cute and admirable.“Jihyun?”Chris tried to remember why Hunter had said her name and seconds later he remembered that Jihyun was hisgirl. He turned his head to wake her up but was shocked to find he was already hugging her. She had her face buried in his chest and her hands were around his waist.Instead of waking her up, he just stared at her sleeping position. Since he badly wanted to look at her sleeping face, he tried to move a bit, but only ende

NarratorThe car ride was super awkward, and Chris was killing himself on the inside for being so reckless. As much as it sounds absurd, he wanted to talk to Jihyun comfortably even after what he did. He was slightly regretting the kiss but then again, he felt good that he did. The kiss felt that good. ”She won’t ask me anyway, since I told her not to…” He smirks a bit at the thought, feeling relieved instead.As for Jihyun, the awkwardness was an advantage on her end. Why? Because she doesn’t have to listen to him or get teased by him. Especially after the kiss, Chris initiated a while ago. “Why did he kiss me anyway? None of his friends or acquaintance was there… well… they got there and… oh god…! Stop thinking about it Jihyun…!” she hoped Chris didn’t see her blush as she recalled the way his lips assaulted her and made her breathless.The moment they arrived at the resort, the bellboy took their luggage away and sent it to the room after the valet staff took his car. He asked the f

NarratorChris yawned as he felt the stress building up as he wanted to make sure his cousin and best friend’s wedding goes well. The meeting with the wedding planner and organizer, and resort manager went well. It was basically about informing him of the schedule that the couple arranged and agreed on.The first two days are all about welcoming the guest and family members that would be residing at the resort, this includes a barbecue night and dinner on both days. On the third and fourth days, family and friends gather for a little bonding time. Doing activities together, it could be done in big groups or smaller ones.The main event for the ladies would be at the spa and massage as the bride wanted herself to be pampered, so she had requested for their guest to have the same treatment. Meanwhile, the guys could have a blast on the beach as Luke wanted to play in a place full of water sports. The main thing about those days was for the family to bond, for the two big families to lear

NarratorChris answered the door, surprised to see unfamiliar faces looking at him expectantly. Confused, he tried to make sure his expression wasn’t showing them anything else other than puzzlement.“May I help you?”After helping the misdirected people, Chris held everything in him not to curse out loud. It was clear as day, that he was pissed beyond reason for the unwanted interruption, but alas, he was confused as to why he felt the way he did.“Who was at the door?” jumping off the bed, she asked and stood in front of Chris. Her almost childlike expression and the innocent question made him pause and blink, unsure why his heart hammered as if she had done something grand. ”Just like a baby bunny,” oddly enough, his bad mood disappeared suddenly when he saw that.“Some people who lost their way… I think it was from Luke’s mom’s side of the family because I didn’t recognize them. They freaked out when they saw only one room on our floor. They’re confused about which building to go t

NarratorLunchtime came and the two join the family members with smiles as most of Chris’s relatives tried to get Jihyun away from him. They were truly curious about the female and wanted to get to know her. They want to find the secret to making his ice-cold exterior melt, as most of his aunts had tried to set him up for blind dates. Yet he blindly and sometimes coldly refuses to go to any of them. That was what Jihyun managed to find out when one of the aunts succeeded in whisking her away, even if it were a mere five minutes.Jihyun was okay with talking with his many aunts, but Chris was not, as he was worried, that they might grill her with questions that might overwhelm her. Chris had another meeting regarding wedding matters and Jihyun was asked to meet up with Aliaa in the ballroom for a few things.“You asked to see me?”“Unnie, I need to know your size. Its small right or do you prefer medium, because it looks like you have board shoulders for a girl,” Aliaa’s hands are held

Narrator“What are you doing!?” Jihyun's eyes widen when she realizes she is lying on the bed. Chris hovered on top of her as the expression that washed over his face was confusing her. “Oh god, help me! I don’t want to lose my virginity tonight! Especially not to him…!” yet she panickily braces herself for whatever it is that Chris had in mind, while her body lay frozen.Unexpectedly, the only thing he did was shower her with kisses all over her face. He left no spot untouched and somehow it made her heart flutter when his actions sunk in. Chris kept repeating the ministrations a few times before he hopped off the bed. "Uh... what is... am I dreaming this? or is he..."Blinking in confusion, she peered up at him and didn’t know how to react or move. “Get dressed, make yourself comfortable, and go to bed first,” he said while walking to the bathroom, not at all giving her a second glance. His sudden words and earlier actions left Jihyun dumbfounded. It almost made her freeze, almost.J

NarratorWaking up to the sudden sound of his device, Chris cursed when he couldn’t find it. “Where the heck is the damn thing?! And who would call me this freaking early!” he grumbled as he finally found it, yet he regrets answering it once he heard the caller’s voice. “OPPA!! Rise and shine!” a chirpy happy voice called from the end of the line.When he didn’t reply, the voice called louder, if possible, and it woke him up for sure. “Huh?” he sat up straight and had his eyes shoot open wide; surprised, confused and annoyed. If he was groggy a while ago, he’s fully awake now; thanks to his beloved cousin.Starching the back of his neck, Chris looked around the room and back to the device in hand, “What…” his gruff and confusing morning voice must have resonated to the other end because he suddenly heard Luke’s voice. “Aliaa, give me the phone… now!” Luke’s demand was no joke and he heard his baby cousin say the words, “Killjoy,” before shuffling sounds resonates.“Hey Chris, sorry abo

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

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

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

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

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

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
