She's pointing a gun at Kai, and he was pointing a gun at her.
He pulls off the safety catch.
And she realizes that she could never hurt him.

Kai comes home on Monday with a gorgeous gilded gold fish bowl in his arms.
Solbi rushes over to him and takes the bowl out of his arms, placing it on the black marble dining table.
Twin albino fish swirl in the aqua depths.
"They're beautiful."
Kai sweeps her into his arms.
"Take good care of them. They're kissingurami."
"Kissingurami?"
"If one dies . . . "

Solbi takes another look at two fish.
Suddenly, they seemed to be much more of a prophecy.

With her stomach on the ground, memories of Luhan seep through her skin.
Deep breaths, steady hands.
Her finger trembles a while on the trigger. One eye's eyelashes flutter in an effort to stay closed.

A week later, in Paris, Solbi finally meets Luhan in a hidden alleyway.
The first thing he does is slap her hard across the face.
Solbi collapses on the ground cupping her cheek and Luhan kicks her viciously in the stomach before forcefully pulling her to her feet and slamming her against brick walls.
"What the were you thinking, huh? I gave you your mission! It was the simplest thing on Earth to complete! What the hell were you doing?!"
Solbi falls to her knees on the ground, hanging her head low, her hair covering her ashen face.
"You know as well as I do what I was thinking or else you wouldn't be this upset, Luhan."
Luhan's face curls into something ugly.
"Damn right I do, Solbi. But let me remind you that you're mine."
Luhan s her in the middle of an alleyway in Paris.

In the middle of Gangnam, Kai falls to his knees in heartbreak.

Lying in a grungy motel bed with his arms wound around her waist, Luhan can't help but ask.
"What did it feel like, Solbi?"
A pause, then a whisper.
