Why do they look so happy?

I mean they were giggling for some damn reason.

But all that stopped when I glared at them. And I did it hard. The second Jung Hyobin saw me she just sat back in the car again and drove away with a scared look on her face. Kris Wu looked shocked to see me too.

I rolled my eyes and turned to look at Luhan, Tao and Kai who were all equally shocked.

"I think I've got my answer." I muttered. "See you." Then I turned around and walked away.

Suddenly, Kris grabbed my arm. "Listen to me--"

I yanked my arm from his grip. "I don't want to." 

I wasn't angry at Kris. No, that was impossible for me. I was just a little sad that he was so inconsiderate.

I took out my phone from my handbag and quickly dialed a number.

"It's not what you think it is"  Kris tried to take my phone but I swatted his hand away.

"Whatever." I put the phone against my ear. "Hello? Is this Seoul Cab service? Yeah, I would like to hire a cab--"

Kris grabbed my phone and cut the call. "I'm sorry, Okay?! I'm sorry I couldn't come to pick you up."

"You don't need to. I never asked you to." I responded. "I understand that you have...work."

"I..." For a moment it looked like Kris was going to tell me the truth but then..."I'm a busy person, Taeyeon. Hyobin is my employee. If you see me with her, then it's for business purposes only."

I rolled my eyes again. "Like I'm going to believe that."

"I don't care what you believe." He grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him into the building. Luhan and the others had disappeared from there.

He roughly pushed me into the elevator and pressed the button that read '60'.

I crossed my arms. "Buy me a--"

Kris pushed me against the wall unexpectedly. He held my arms together and tried to force his mouth onto mine.I knew it wasn't right.
So i stamped his foot. 

"Damn it." He hissed in pain. I pushed his chest and he stumbled back a bit.

"I'm sorry Kris Wu but being intimate is not a good way to apologize when your current girlfriend sees you being all flirty with your ex!" The elevator doors opened at the last floor and I stormed out.

"I was anything but flirty, Kim Taeyeon." Kris said quietly following me.

"Yeah Yeah." I smiled sweetly at him and kicked open the door to his suite. "Go to your cabin, Mr. Wu. I thought you had work with your...business partner."

I slammed the door shut. 

"I'm sorry, babe." I heard Kris' muffled voice from the other side.

"Go away, Wu Yifan." I said. "Oh and I was going to ask you to buy me a cycle. I'd rather cycle everyday to work and back rather than wait for you."

"I am not going to do that." He said.

"Then do something about it at least." 

"I will."

Why are you lying to me, Kris?

The next day~

"Okay so for your homework, I want all of you to learn the name of your favorite fruit and flower in English." I told the students in my class.

"Ne, Miss. Kim!" They all chorused together. I smiled and gathered my stuff as the bell rang.

I was about to walk out of the class when I felt a hand tug the hem of my skirt. I turned back and saw that it was Kang Eunji. She didn't speak much during class while the other kids were always loud in their opinions.

"Yes, Eunji?" I crouched down to reach the same level as her.

She looked at me with big,sad eyes. "Miss. Kim..." Her chubby cheeks looked so cute while she spoke.

"What happened, Eunji? Why are you so sad?" I asked her.

Suddenly, big tears started rolling down her cheeks. I swear i'd never felt so bad in my entire life.

"Shh." I hugged her softly and her back. "Why are you crying?"

"I lost Hello Kitty pencil." Eunji cried softly.

I chuckled at her innocence. "Is it? Where did you last keep it?"

"It was on my table but then you were telling us a story I was listening to your story and then I look back on table It's not there!" She wailed.

"Okay okay. Shush." I took out a handkerchief from my pocket and wiped her tears. "I'll find it for you."

I stood up straight and held her hand. "Show Miss. Kim your table."

Since most of  the children were out for recess, the classroom was a little empty. She took me to her small table at the back of the class.

"See." she tugged my hand. 

The table was empty. I looked around the table because I was sure it had fallen down and I was right! The Hello Kitty pencil was hidden below her chair. I bent down and picked it up.

"Here you go, baby." I held out the pencil to her. "Next time, look around your desk because you might have dropped your stuff unknowingly."

She stopped crying immediately and beamed at me. "Thank you Miss. Kim!" She hugged me. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek.

Such a sweet child...

"I like Miss. Kim lot!" She said with a toothy smile. Her eyes turned into crescent moons.

"I like Eunji, too." I pinched her tiny nose. "Now Miss. Kim has to go!"

The little girl followed me all the way to the staff room and only when I went inside did she leave.

Yumi chuckled. "Was that Kang Eunji following you?"

I nodded. "She's such a sweet child."

"She is sweet. A little naive though." Yumi held out a packet of chocolate-flavored pocky sticks to me.

I took one and munched on it. "You know her?"

"Yeah." Yumi replied. "She lost her mother when she was a baby. Her father is too busy in his work so she's being raised by her grandma."

"That's so...sad." It hurt to hear little Eunji's tragic story.

"Well, That's why she barely talks at all." Yumi said. "I wonder what she'll do when her grandmother passes away."

I looked at Yumi thoughtfully. "I'm angry at the father for not taking care of his daughter."

"I know right! But she's happy so it doesn't matter."

I nodded at Yumi but my heart was still a bit uncertain.

***

Finally it was time to leave. 

"Let's meet up for coffee this weekend! " Yumi suggested as we walked out of the gates together.

"Sure! just text me the place and time." I smiled happily.

Suddenly i felt someone hugging my legs from behind. I turned around and saw that it was Eunji.

"Oh, Eunji!" I removed her hands from my legs and picked her up. "Don't forget to do your homework." 

"Eunji won't! " she exclaimed and then buried her face into my neck.

"She's in love with you." Yumi teased me and I giggled. Then I put Eunji down.

"Grandma waiting. I'm going!" She said. "Bye, Miss Kim." She waved at me continuously.

I saw her running into the arms of an old woman. The grandma looked at me with a kind smile and bowed slightly. I nodded and smiled back.

"Even the grandma likes you!" Yumi chuckled. "Now if only the father likes you, you could become her step mom!"

I slapped Yumi's arm playfully. "Yah! First of all, that's not going to happen. And second, I have a boyfriend."

"Ooooo!!" Yumi said in a sing song voice. 

I rolled my eyes. "You don't need to go all 'ooo' for him. He's an average guy."

You're a big fat liar, Kim Taeyeon. Average is the last thing you can call Yifan. He's a freaking mafia leader for God's sake!

"Err...Tae..." Yumi whispered. "That guy over there is staring at us."

"Huh?" I looked around and then I spotted a glossy black car down the road. 

Suho?

No it wasn't. 
Leaning against the black car was none other than Kris Wu. He had traded his usual suit for a full-sleeved black collared shirt. He had his sunglasses on and he was staring at us with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Of course it's the face." I muttered under my breath

"Omo Tae. It's really creeping me out. Let's go from here." Yumi tried to pull me away.

Kris frowned and slowly walked towards us.

"It's okay, Yumi. It's my boyfriend." I said. 

"You said your boyfriend was average!" Yumi whispered into my ear as Kris neared us. "This guy is freaking hot!"

"Meh." I looked up. "You're exaggerating."

"You're underestimating! Can I have him if you don't want him anymore?" Yumi giggled. 

I rolled my eyes. And then, Kris stood in front of me with a frown.

"You know how long I've been waiting for you?!" Kris snapped.

"Oh god..." I huffed.

"Hello! " Yumi chirped in between. she had this wide grin on her face.

Kris looked at her weirdly. "Hello, random lady."

"Can you not, Kris Wu?!" I exclaimed. I grabbed his arm and linked it with mine. "Okay, Bye, Yumi."

I pulled Kris along with me to his car while Yumi just stared at us with a confused expression.

When we were finally in the car. I yelled at him.

"You just called my friend 'random lady!" I yelled as he started the engine. "Are you for real, Kris?!"

"God, as though I knew she was your friend." He yelled back.

"It's useless talking to you." I crossed my arms and looked out of the window.

There was a cold silence between us for a few minutes.

"See, I told you i'll pick you up." He muttered. "No need to thank me."

Really, I can't be angry with him even for a few minutes!

"I wasn't even going to." I smiled sweetly at him.

He sighed. "I knew you would say that." 

"You know me well, don't you?" I said with a faint smile.

"Duh. I'm your boyfriend." He said. "By the way, I saw you with that kid. She looked like she really likes you."

"She's a sweet kid." I answered. "Doesn't have a mother and her father is an idiot."

"Ah..." He said. "Wanna adopt her?" he smirked

"Not funny." I pinched his arm.

***

We were at Galaxy enterprise in half an hour. I ditched Yifan to spend some time with Hyoyeon and Tiffany until it was almost 7 PM. Then I went to Kris' office room.

"Don't do this, Kris." 

I stopped myself from knocking Kris' door when I heard Luhan's voice inside.

"What else do I do then?! She knows, Luhan. She knows I'm hiding things from her. I don't want to ignite her hunch." Kris yelled.

I put my ear to the door and listened closely.

"Fine, Don't tell her then. But you know the consequences." Xiumin's voice. "She still doesn't doubt you, Yifan. Don't lose her trust."

"If I tell her, She might go away..." Kris said softly.

"She won't. But if you don't tell her about him...God, Kris. She'll kill you before anyone else does."

They're talking about me for sure...but who's the other guy?

"She only saw you both once, Kris. A few more times and then she'll realize that something is wrong."

"She won't. She won't realize!" Kris yelled. " I don't want her to know about any of this!"

"We're warning you, Kris." Luhan said. "Tell her while You still have a chance to apologize. Otherwise, You might lose her forever and never get to apologize."

"You have one messed up life, brother." Xiumin said. "Fix it before you destroy yourself."

"She's already destroying me, Ge. " Kris said. "I love her so much."

We love the things that destroy us.

I quietly backed away from the door and walked to the lift.

Suddenly, I heard the door creak open.

"Taeyeon?" 

I bit my lip and turned around.

"I just came and saw that the door was closed so I was going back." I lied. Luhan and Xiumin were behind him too.

"It's okay, Why don't you go to the suite?" He walked past me to the elevator. "I'll come in a while."

I couldn't help but notice the gun popping out from Kris' pocket. 

Luhan and Xiumin smiled sympathetically at me. They had guns too.

I sighed and walked towards his suite .

Just what are you hiding from me, Wu Yifan?

***

It was a little over 3 AM when Kris stumbled into our suite. I as partially awake because I was so worried about him.

"Kris?" I said to the dark silhouette in front of me. 

He closed the door behind him and the room became pitch black. Suddenly, He fell on top of me on the bed. The scent of alcohol was all around him.

"Kris?!" I said shocked. He was limp in my arms.

I switched on the bed light. He looked unconscious. I laid him on the bed and took off his shoes. He had been roughed up by someone and there was a bleeding cut on his cheek. I wiped the blood with my shirt and hurried to the bathroom. The cut was too deep to be stopped by a damp towel but I had to do something!

"You mad man." I muttered as I dabbed his cheek with a wet hand towel. Then I brought a band aid from my hand bag and put it on his cheek.

"Don't go, Tae." He cried in his sleep. "Don't go back to--" He stopped abruptly.

"I'm not going anywhere, Yifan. I'll be there for you." I whispered softly and kissed his forehead. That seemed to comfort him.

I couldn't help but wonder that if such a small cut could get me so worried about him...what about a bullet?

"I won't die. For you, I won't die." He mumbled.

"I won't let you die, Wu Yifan"
