A/N: EXO FIGHTING!! Kris we believe in you! As long as you're happy we'll support you. And Baekhyun, you're so adorable. I hope you'll hide well your phone~ And what's wrong with this freaking SM?! I really hope the rumors about Baekhyun being slapped are just rumors. Geez, you don't go around hitting people, especially when Baekhyun is my bias. By the way the title of the chapter seems to fit perfectly for SM as well. Ha.

CHUNJI's POV

"I'm sorry for not having told you earlier, I wanted to find a way out of this mess first but I couldn't find any..." Jieun admitted, bending her head down. I glanced at her fiancé, Luhan, feeling slightly uncomfortable when he squeezed Jieun's arm to cheer her up. It would be a lie saying I wasn't feeling not even a slightly bit jealous because I freaking was. I could see how Luhan looked at her, I could see his feelings for her and I doubted Jieun knew about his feelings because otherwise she wouldn't have ever allowed herself to get close to him. I trusted her but I couldn't help it, being overprotective was one of my traits. Nevertheless I tried to shrug it away and got my attention back to the problem. What could I do to help her? She had told me her parents refused to let her be with me because they had already planned to marry her off to Luhan, but I could feel that she was hiding something else and that the arranged marriage wasn't the only reason. However I knew she wasn't going to tell me anytime soon seeing as she had taken two months to actually admit that there was something going on. Yes, I wasn't stupid and I probably knew Jieun better than anyone else, I had noticed her tired face and worried eyes but I waited for her to tell me, because I knew she would have needed time. 

"Jieun-ah I don't want to be the reason-"

"Oh no you don't Lee Chan freaking Hee. Don't you dare feel guilty because of my selfish parents! I don't freaking care if I loose them, I just don't want to loose you too!" She hissed slamming her hands against the poor table and drawing everyone's attention on us. The impact had been so strong that some of the coffee poured in my cup spilled on the table. 

"Calm down Jieun, I was just stating the truth. I know you love your parents and that they love you as well. I don't want you to fight with them because of me. That's just going to hurt you Jieun-ah" My heart clenched at my own words but I had to do it for her. 

"It won't Chanhee! It won't hurt me! It'll hurt me if you leave me right now! We'll find a solution to this, it'll just take time but we'll-" She was interrupted by the beeping of her own phone. She looked at the screen and glared, making us understand who the caller actually was. 

"Pick it up Jieun." I scolded assuming she wasn't going to pick it up after she had flipped the phone and slammed it on the table. She threw me a glare and complied. 
Tapping on the green button she pressed the device against her ear, waiting for the other line to start talking. 

"What?? Now you even send people following me around?!?!!!!" 

"Why are you doing this to me?? I thought Byunghun would be the heir!" She clenched her fists as her hands started to tremble in anger. It was a wonder how the phone could still resist under her strength. Without second thoughts she harshly threw the phone on the wooden floor of the coffee shop as it shattered in pieces. When she turned around to look at me with a desperate and helpless look, I knew there weren't hopes for us to be together and I knew that her parents had probably found a way to make her do whatever they wanted. But despite their unacceptable behavior, I didn't want Jieun to argue with her parents because of me and mostly I didn't want her to be in pain after that. 

"Jieun-ah, let's end it here" I sighed, ignoring the cries my inner self was sending me. It was painful but that was what I thought was the best for her. 

"W-what?" She stuttered shocked at my sentence. I softened at her lost hazel orbs, the only person she didn't want to loose was betraying her in that moment. Nonetheless I stood up, not daring and not being able to bear her pleading eyes. 

"W-what are you d-doing? Where are you g-going? Chanhee-ah please...don't do this to me, I know you're doing this for my own good but this isn't right. I don't need my parents! I need you!" She stood up as well and grabbed my hand. 

"Jieun..." I placed my other hand on hers and gently caressed it."We both know that your parents will find a way to make you do whatever they want. And I don't want you to be hurt in the process. I know it hurts right now but I'll always be your bestfriend okay? We'll get over it together. Just give me some time okay?" I carefully slipped out of her loosening grip and walked out of the coffee shop, urging my feet not to make a u-turn and run back to her. It was like a part of my soul was being ripped apart but if I had to suffer to make Jieun happy, then I would do it, no matter what. No matter how desperately she was calling for my name, no matter how desperately she was running after me, I kept on walking without looking back.

"Chanhee-ah please! We can find a solution to this! Chanhee!!" She called and I could hear her fastening steps and heavy breath. I bit my bottom lip and resisted the urge to turn around, to hug her and tell her it was alright, to be selfish and tell her we could run away like in the dramas we had watch
