Chapter 14

Reconciliation

Hani went to school with red, puffy eyes. They were swollen from all the crying yesterday. When her tears stopped, she had trouble sleeping. She tossed and turned in bed, but her mind was still replaying the incident over and over again. 

In her mind, she kept blaming Kris. 

But most of all, she was also embarassed and disappointed in herself. She had made a huge fool of herself infront of Kris' parents and all the staff working in the restaurant.

Baekhyun strolled pass their class and his eyes were searching for Hani. When he caught Hani's attention, he gave her a wave and she did the same, smiling happily at him. 

Wow. What a completely different attitude she gave, Kris grumbled under his breath.

School finally ended. The day felt longer than usual for Kris and Hani. Both of them found it suffocating not talking to each other. Kris,
