Eunhye was lost in thought as she stood in the kitchen. It had been four days since she went to meet Kris and he had not contacted her. She had not tried to contact him either in fear that he would find her move annoying and refuse the deal.

Worry was ever present in the pit of her stomach.

If they lost the house that they were living in, it would not affect her as much since she did not have many good memories attached to the place anyway.

But it would hurt the two people she loved the most in the entire world, even going as far as crushing one of them completely.

Eunhye's smile disappeared as she straightened. She focused on cutting a slice of cake and plating it. She set the cake on the kitchen table just as Kyung came back.
