Lucas was strolling lazily to the kitchen counter to get a bottle of water for his sore throat, he was laughing too much while watching Keep Running new season premiere with other casts when he spotted Yuqi leaning on the kitchen counter, washing her right hand while talking on the phone. He grinned and extended his long arm to startle her but he stopped half-way when his name come out from her lips.

"Quit it guys! Stop obsessing over Xuxi and me..." she mused in a low tone. Lucas retracted his hovering arm. "I already told you Xuxi's not my type..." she continued again, still didn't notice his presence. He raised his eyebrows. Intrigued by her words, he decided to stay and listen to her conversation.

"Ugh...everyone calls him Xuxi here. Not just me..." she whined, sounds frustrated. His lips curled up into a cheeky grin watching her frustration. Her friends must be teasing her a lot about the way he called him.

"So what if he's hot and tall?" she grumbled low while taping her hand on the sink. Lucas bites his lower lip to stop himself from making a chuckling noise. "How many times I had to say he's not into me. A narcissist and Cassanova type like him would never go for a cute girl like me..." He furrowed his brows at that remark.

"I just joki—wh-what do you want?" she stuttered when he bent down his head toward her.

"Can't you guess?" He muttered low, teasing her. She shook her head eagerly, looking puzzled. He smirked at her when he noticed how flustered she is and in one effortless move, he lifted her onto the kitchen counter. "Yah!" she exclaimed but quickly cover in the next second.

"Or what?" he challenged her. For a second he wanted to laugh at her cute expression but he got distracted by their close proximity. Their face was ba
