I stared at the wall, in the dark bedroom, while lying frozen on the bed, strictly staying on my side.
Myungsoo was probably already sleeping but I felt uncomfortable, I somehow needed to thank him before peacefully going to sleep.
I sighed and turned around to glance at him. His arm was draped across his forehead, covering his eyes as he took deep breaths, his pouty lips slightly parted. He looked angelic...when he wasn't awake, that is.

"Tsk, why isn't he this cute when he's awake?" I snorted with a soft voice, afraid to ruin his sleep.

"I heard that." His sudden voice startled me as I widened my eyes at him. He uncovered his eyes and looked at me.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" He asked, his pupils sparkled with what seemed worry under the moonlight. But it was too dark and I wasn't sure.
I bit my lower lip and flipped myself over so I could lie on my tummy while facing him. Narrowing my eyes, I poked his cheek, earning a what-the-hell look from him.
I chuckled, "Say Kim Jerk, why did you help me?"

"I figured I couldn't argue with you if you were depressed so yeah, now I can go back to fight with you daily." He shrugged nonchalantly while I scoffed at his statement. But truth to be told I was grateful he hadn't told me the real reason, because that would have made the whole thing embarrassing and not to add that it would have somehow meant that the Kim Jerk and I could have been considered almost...friends. And that was utterly strange, I tell you, because we couldn't be friends. He despised me and I despised him, our relationship was as simple as that, and worked satisfyingly well that way, if I might add, so I didn't see the need to change our terms. But despite his words, I felt thankfulness washing over me for I knew his real intentions weren't so childish as he had mentioned. Nonetheless I played along and lightly punched his arm, snarling at him, "Psh and to say I wanted to thank you. Ha. What could I expect from a jerk like you anyways?"

"Never said I wanted a thanks from you." He shot back. A grin formed on my lips, and I was happy the room was dark enough to hide it.

Yup, Kim Myungsoo and I did really work well as enemies.

"I'm gonna thank you just because you didn't expect me to do it. So yeah, thank you, Jerk, for calling Soojin over." I mumbled shutting my eyes close, ready to sleep, while Soojin's whispered words echoed in my head.

"Jieun unni, take care of yourself. I don't know what happened but if it made even Myungsoo Oppa worried, it means it's something big. When you feel ready let's talk okay? And don't be afraid to talk about it with my brother because he was really concerned when he rang me up, although he probably wouldn't admit it. But don't tell my brother I told you, okay?"

The Kim Jerk wasn't such a jerk after all.

I sighed, slumping myself further into the passenger seat. Why couldn't my life go smoothly just for a few days? Was it that much to ask?
First, the marriage, second, Chanyeol and Minhee, then Jiyong and now my parents officially announcing my marriage to the media. Not only that, to gain more attention and to lure potential investors, they had declared that the upcoming marriage would be purely out of love. As if that wasn't enough, when the reporters had asked how and when did we meet for the first time our parents had refused to make something up and had suggested them to come and ask us personally.

"We're here." Myungsoo pointed out, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked around and didn't fail to notice the crowd that had formed in front of the school gates, both reporters and students screaming loudly. Fortunately we were still in the car and the sounds were muffled.
I turned around to face him with a both desperate and annoyed look, not yet ready to face what would expect us after stepping out of the safeness and protection of his black Bentley.

"Let's make a bet." Myungsoo suddenly beamed, immediately earning my attention. I rose a brow, signaling him to go on.

"Whoever acts the best out there, wins whatever they like from the other. You on?" He challenged, throwing me a knowing look. I scoffed, unbuckling my seatbelt and smirking, "Sure. Get ready to loose, honey." I teased, graciously opening the door for myself.
*Come on Jieun, you can do it.* I pumped my fist inwardly and spun around to face Myungsoo when I heard him shutting the car-door as well.
Hearing the screams behind us I instantly put on a sweet smile and skipped towards him, circling my arms around his neck.
He glanced down at me with a curious expression, wondering what I would do next. I secretly smirked and br
