“You’re late. “

Kris’s deep voice snapped you out of your thoughts as you stumbled backwards. Kris raised a brow at you then slowly the edge of his lips quirked up into a smirk. Without warning, he took a step towards you and your eyes widened. “W-what are you d-doing?!“ You shouted while stuttering, and it made Kris smirk even wider.

“What do you think I’m doing?“

He took another step towards you and then another, making you walked backwards and made your back hit the wall behind you. , dead end. You cursed mentally to yourself as Kris stopped in front of you, too near.

He slung his towel around his neck and then he palmed both of his hands on each side of the wall, trapping you in between. Kris slowly tilted his head down to look at you better and smirked slyly. The way his eyes stared into yours made you knees buckled.

“Why is your face red?“

He tried really hard not to laugh at your red face, teasing you was part of his entertainment. “Please, get off." You whispered and Kris raised a brow. Oh?

"Why should I get off?"

His voice irked you so badly but it was so hot at the same time, you forced yourself to meet his eyes and tried your best to glare at him. “I’m in h-hurry." Well, , your voice decided to abandon you once again.

“Why are you in a hurry? “

Kris purposely making everything slow for you because he knew you were late for your coffee shop, but he didn’t give a damn about it because that meant that he can spend more time with you.

While heaving a deep breath, your hand reached up to Kris’s bare chest and pushed him backward. “I need to wash up, let me go! “

You pushed him too hard and Kris actually stumbled backwards because he did not expect that from you. Then again, luck wasn't with you at all. Remember when I said you saw Kris’s body was dripping with water? Yeah well, the water found a way down to the floor so yes, you stepped on the water and slipped forward.

I don't deserve this.

“Oh no." You grunted then shut your eyes and waited for the impact. But Kris pulled you against him just in time and then let you balance yourself again. “You’re so clumsy." Kris glared at you and pushed you away. With one last glare, he walked towards your room and slammed the door shut.

You blinked several times while you pushed Kris away from your mind, and then with a shiver feeling ran down your spine, you ran to the bathroom and slammed the door, just like how Kris did.

“I’m late!"

You ran out of the room with only your red t-shirt and short jeans, perfecting your looks with one nerdy glass on. Then with a frown, you ran to the door and reached out for the door knob. But then an annoying voice called out from inside the kitchen.

“Dim-wit? I think Mumyeong is hungry. “

Darn it! You closed your eyes and pressed your lips into a thin line as you turned away from the door. You shot him a glare when your eyes met his handsome face. “Then feed your puppy, since she’s yours!" You turned back to the door and then he spoke again.

“I’ll kiss you if you don’t cook anything for Mumyeong. “

“Guess what? I’m not going to cook for your puppy so just kiss me then!" You provoked him.

You thought Kris was just playing with you again so you just played along, but what you didn’t expect was that Kris was already behind you. He pushed the door back and shut it then spun you around to face him. “Oh my god." You tried to push Kris away but he didn’t budge and you were too weak to fight with him.

With a smirk, Kris leaned in to you and closed his eyes -

“Here you go."

You pushed the plate towards Kris with a big frown “And by the way? I hate you." You smiled sweetly at Kris but the guy ignored you. Kris managed to convinced you to cook for Mumyeong and he did it successfully by threatening you with a kiss. "FINE I'LL COOK!" Was all you shouted at him before you ran into the kitchen. You will never let him take your first kiss, not in a million years!

“Now look at the time! It’s 1 pm and my mother will kill me!" You walked away from the kitchen but then Kris spoke with a plain tone, he was irritated by how noisy you were but he decided not to shout at you because his mood was good at that moment. “Your mother told me to keep you here for today.“

Your eyes widened and turned to him instantly. “Wait, what? “

Kris sighed and turned to you with an irritated look. "What?"

He glared at you but you didn't care about it. “What did you say just now?" You walked towards him and he frowned deeper.

“Your mother went to work at the coffee shop – “

You cut him off. “I’m not letting my mother to work alone – “

Before you can finish your sentence, an apron flew across the kitchen and hit directly on your face. Kris rolled his eyes after seeing your shocked face. “I’ve sent 3 helpers to the coffee shop so shut up and take this opportunity to rest" “He turned back to Mumyeong an
