Victoria couldn’t help but smiled. She didn’t expect that she could still see him. The person who was been a part of her life way back. Today, she has a pictorial for the new product that F style wants her to endorse. She didn’t expect to see that the photographer would be Lee Donghae. Lee Donghae was a senior from Seoul University which she attended; he was also a good friend of her brother and a great rival to Nickhun. Yes Donghae has been one of her suitor’s ways back but at that time Nickhun was the one who holds her heart. Donghae accepted it like a gentleman and offer her a relationship that will last forever. Friendship, since she left Koreas five years ago she lost her connection with Donghae and somewhat she felt quite not good about it but it seems like fate bought them together again.

           “I still couldn’t believe that I actually met you after all this years” Victoria commented with amusement on her face. After the photo shot Donghae offer her to have a cup of coffee so that they could catch up for the lost time which she gladly accepts.

            “Me either, Look at you now you grow up to be such a beautiful Lady” Donghae commenter giving her a playful wink.

            She chuckled.” You haven’t changed a bit, still a sweet talker.” She fired back while sipping her coffee.

            Donghae laughed wholeheartedly which Victoria also follows. After all those years the friendship between them didn’t change at all and she was thankful that somehow fate bought them back together, at least she can have someone to call a friend while she stays in Korea.

            “I never thought that you would end up being a Photographer, I thought it was just a part of your hobby” she said as she remembers that it was part his past time when they are in University.

            “Let’s say that I follow where my heart leads me and I end up being what I want from the first place, hey! Enough talking about me, were here because I want to catch up things with you”. Donghae said, sitting back comfortably on the chair.

            “What is there to talk about? Just read some newspaper or watch some news. For sure you will find something about me” she sarcastically said that made Donghae eyebrow met.

            “I want to know what happen between you and Nickhun” there it goes, the question she tries to avoid over and over. How can she tell him the real reason why she decides to end up things with him? Telling him was like opening a newly healed wound and letting it bled once again, for her Nickhun and his memories will be something she never wants to remember again.

            Trying to divert his attention, Victoria put an act” Who is Nickhun?” she said giving Donghae a confuse look.

            Donghae only smirked “Yah don’t act as if you don’t know him”

            “Ha-ha I thought you don’t know him either?” ask Victoria sarcastically

            “Tell that to the marines” he said with the same way Victoria answer him, he then continued “but honestly I quite felt bad after hearing the news from your brother, I thought the two of you will end up getting married.”

            She smiled bitterly “there are lot of things that we can’t predict” she said honestly wanting the topic about them to be over.

            “Now that Nickhun and you are over, I think I can continue courting you and this time I can hear the word yes from you” Donghae said, enjoying seeing the shock face Victoria has now.

            “Jerk” was the only thing she could say before both of them burst into laughter. Their laughter sound echoed around the room telling everyone that will pass by that both of them enjoying a great time, both of them are so immersed with their laughing that they didn’t hear the sound of the door opening. As soon as key entered the room, the sound of a happy laughter caught his attention the most. He always like the way Victoria laugh, the way she laughed was like a seven year old kid laughing over her favorite cartoon show.

            “ehem” key coughed causing both of them to twist their heads and look at the person who enter the room.

            “Oh!” Victoria exclaimed “what brings you here?” she asks as soon as she regains her composure.

            “I came here to give this to you” handling a white envelope which Victoria receives with a smile on her face

          “oh before I forgot this is Lee Donghae, you know him right?” key only nodded acknowledging that he knows Donghae after a few more minutes key finally leave the two of them alone. Not wanting to waste any time she opens the envelope, jaw drop as soon as she read its content. Donghae confuse seeing her in such a state. He took the envelope after scanning it, he finally get why Victoria react like that.

            “It’s not a surprise after all, you’re their newest model so you need to be there” Donghae stated.

            Need to be there? Hell no.! Being their model was not on her plan. It only happens of because of Key clumsiness. “There is no reason for me to be there, it not even compulsory of a model to attend such an event if she like it or not.”

            “Yes there is reason, your their newest model and H. clothing line will celebrate their anniversary, it will be a great opportunity for them to see who will make the huge success of their sales.” He explains wanting here to grab the opportunity.

            She just rolled her eyes. “Whatever, I’m not buying it”

            “I also received their invitation, few days before we met” Donghae said out of nowhere. She paused for a bit thinking and puzzling out. Dongahe was giving her a hint about something. “BINGO” she said to herself.

            “Then are you going?”

            “I’m still thinking about it”

            She knew it, that‘s what exactly Donghae wants to happen. “Oppa, want to play a game with me? She asks playfully.

            “What will be my price?” donghae ask knowing what kind of game she has on her mind, and yes he is willing to play that game knowing that it will be fun.

            “Name your price”

       Tons of people were already arrive at the Horvejkul mansion, when Victoria and Donghae arrive, both of them caught everyone’s attention, cameras light were flashing all over them but they didn’t care at all. Victoria already spotted where they table was, she then drag Donghae with her.

            “Congratulations Auntie” she said as soon as they arrive at the table. “Good evening Oppa” giving her brother a kiss on his cheek.

            “You’re stunning my sister” Taecyoon praise her.

            “I’ve finally met you again darling and you really grow up to be such a beautiful lady, no wonder you were the talk of the town.” The old woman couldn’t help but praise the beauty in front of him.

            “She really is a beauty Mom” it was Nickhun who arrive at their table, while holding a glass of wine. “Hi Qian”

            “Hello Mr. Horvejkul” she said formally with a force smile. She didn’t notice the dark look Nikchun has after listening to her formal words; instead she tried to steady her breathing. The devil is so handsome in his formal attire.

            Nickhun step a bit closer to Donghae “is it okay if I dance with Qian?”

            Oh. I’m so sorry” she said before Donghae could answer him. “But Donghae oppa promise me the first dance”.Donghae give him a smirk seeing the embarrass look on his face. Donghae though that tonight will be fun. He loving pulled Victoria to the dance floor leaving Nickhun that almost met his eyebrow.

            “C’mon Khun” It was Taecyoon “don’t expect my sister to dance with you as you can see she has a date with her”

            “Behave Nickhun just for me, please leave those two alone” Mrs. Vera warn him “Just do your business after this”

            Junsu couldn’t help but laughed.  “you can’t blame him Auntie, have you seen the way he looks at Donghae, if looks can kill I bet Donghae were already buried deep”

            Nikchun clenched his fist. “I’m going to kill him”

            “This is our company’s party Son, just for tonight forget about it and have fun.” Mrs. Vera pleaded but Nickhun didn’t answer.

            Meanwhile on the dance floor, Victoria couldn’t help but laugh after seeing the look on Nickhun’s face.  “Don’t let Nickhun dance with me, even if our shoes worn out already, don’t let him have the opportunity.

            Donghae eyebrow met “isn’t it strange. It’s normal for him to dance with you god he was your ex boyfriend.”

            She shrugs her shoulder. “I bring you here as my date, just follow everything I told you, act like your madly in love with me, anyway that’s what we wanted for the first place right?”

            Donghae laughed. “ that’s not hard to do darling now that I want to see how he can manage tonight plus the fact that you’re so delectable today” he slight pulled away from him and seductively ran his eyes from her body, the way her dress clung onto her was like a second skin. The maroon close became her.

            “Lecher” she said with amusement

            “Cant blame me, why don’t we do this for real?”

          “go to hell Donghae” she said with a sweet voice and move her body closer to him when she saw notice that Nickhun was not too far away from them together with a model.

            Donghae planted a kiss on her hair and whisper. “I smell something, what’s with you and Nickhun?”

            “I’m acting my part well, Donghae don’t you like it?”

            “You’re overdoing it and I have the feeling that you really planned to get him jealous or to get his attention. Not because you find it amusing but because it was for your own good” he whispered doubtingly while moving his face near her lips.

            “I just want to see how he’ll react. Can you stop asking question or you don’t want to get you’re price” she whispered back then she feel that Donghae move away.

            “I smell blackmail” he answers while laughing. “And coming from a friend for that matter”

            “Shut up!” she whispered back “just tightens your hug a little bit more”

            “With pleasure honey” He didn’t give any reaction when his eyes landed on Nickhun’ face which can’t be describe with any words “ I have a feeling that I’m not the one who is using but I’m the one who is being use here or shall we say were using each other?”

            “Let’s say that were doing it quits Donghae darling” she looked up and smiled sweetly at him. Two more song before both of them decided to leave the dance floor. In one table near the pool side both of them decided to sit before Donghae call a waiter to ask for food.

            “What’s with you tonight, khun?” Yuri said sweetly at khun.

            “I’m just tired and sleepy Yuri. You can also add the problems I left at the office. He lied .Hell that woman. He silently cursed while giving Victoria a glance, and yes hell is preferable just to sit there and only few yards away from that woman. Yes. It hell watching her dance with Donghae And smelling her damned tantalizing perfume, watching her smiled provocatively, watching her eat and not being able to touch her. And damned Donghae and Victoria doesn’t really care at him that they didn’t notice that he was looking at them. Was she really unaware that he was looking at them? Or she was very aware of his torment and just pretending that she didn’t notice.

            Yes. Victoria knows that he was looking at her. If not then why would their eyes met. She was looking at him with those seductive eyes. Victoria is checking whether he was looking at her. And he could feel the ache in his lions. The memories of her sweet on his lips, her body against his body is killing him. He didn’t notice that he groaned aloud while thinking of it.

            “Are you sure you’re okay?” yuri ask in concern. Nickhun didn’t answer, he excuse himself and made his way to the restroom. Coming out from the door was the responsible for his torment.

               “What are you doing here Mr. Horvejkul?” she said with a cold face. She already practices that cold face every time she has to face Nickhun.

            “So were back at formalities” he ask but she didn’t answer. She was about to walk away from the scene but Nickhun caught her wrist and pinned her to the wall.

            “What are you doing Mr. Horvejkul, let go of me” she try to escape from his grip but Nickhun was way stronger than her.

            His hand automatically caressed her cheeks loving then he remembers the things she did a while ago. “Is it necessary for you to bring a long time suitor as your date without even considering me?” he ask her.

            “Did I ask you to care? I did not, so please don’t try to tell me what I should do” she said without any reaction.

            “Why are you doing this to me? Why Donghae with all the people”

            “Am I sensing some jealous here Mr. Horvejkul?” she said looking at him straight to the eyes.

            Nickhun slammed his fist on the wall “ Nickhun, call me Nickhun and yes I’m jealous insanely jealous”

            Victoria was surprise with his action but she tries to remain focus. “Sad to say Mr. Horvejkul, I can’t do anything about you jealousy.

            “Are you happy seeing me like this?” she was taken a back with his question. She also ask herself is she happy; of course she is this is what she wanted but why she doesn’t like to see those sad look on his eyes. It somewhat confuse her.

            “What if I say yes?”

            “Do you still love me?”

            “I’m done loving you”

            “I don’t think you are”

            “Want me to prove it?”

             Nickhun didn’t have enough time to answer when she feel Victoria lips against his, it was like a dream, to feel her lips against him at first he didn’t react nor respond instead he just stood there letting Victoria do whatever she wants but Victoria is persistent. She was kissing his mouth from one corner to another. Tasting and playing with his lips and coaxed him to open his mouth. He tried to remain passive but she was holding his chin and Victoria gave a little pressure that he parted his lips a little. And that’s what she was waiting for and her tongue deeply and kiss him thoroughness.

            “V-Victoria” he murmured in .

            She slightly moved away from his lips and murmured on his mouth. “I’m glad that you know who’s kissing you” and closed on his again. He gasped and moaned. Eventually he was lost in the kiss that he finds himself responding with everything she did. Unconsciously his hands started to trace her body line and he pressed his body closer to him. Both of them were too immersed on tasting each other that they didn’t notice the person who was shocked seeing both of them. Nickhun was quite upset when Victoria let go of her lips.

            “My date and his Ex-girlfriend” Yuri said that made Nickhun turn his head only be to surprised with the sharp gaze Yuri give them.

            “Leave us alone Yuri” he said with irritated voice.

            Victoria just rolled her eyes. She hated scene and for sure if she stay a bit longer the drama will begin, so she decided to leave but Nickhun caught her wrist again.

            “You’re not leaving but Yuri will.” He said loud enough to be heard by Yuri, she made an O shape with but I didn’t change Nickhun’s mind at all. She stomped her feet and in no time she leave the two alone again.

            “I’m sorry about that” he said while cupping her face once again.

            But Victoria just let out a chuckled and swats away Nickhun’s hand from her face. “There is no need to say sorry, and I think I already answer your question.”

            Nikchun eyebrow met. “Your kisses speak volumes Qian, I think my prediction is right, you’re still in love with me”.

            “I don’t think that is the right term for it” she pinned him to the wall “your kisses speak volumes darling, I think your still in love with me” with that Victoria left Nickhun alone. Victoria didn’t went back to the hall she made her way to her car and look it. God what just happen she let her guard down again with Nikchun. Her hand trace the curve of her lips, she could still feel Nickhun’s lips against her. NO Qian stop! She keep telling herself, don’t make a fool of yourself again. But her mind didn’t follow her she closed her eyes thinking what happen a while ago. She thought she can face him, that she is strong enough but why is the happen to her and dear God she really have wanted him to hold her and kiss her forever.

        Aware from the two, a figure watch everything that happen and he could only shake his head about the silliness of the two. Why keep on hurting each other when both of you still love each other.
