Having to be Kris and not Wu Fan, Kevin Wu or Li Jiaheng was driving him insane.

                Kris sighed, wondering how his life could’ve been if he stayed in Vancouver, having life as normal as it could be. He was grateful for the opportunity he had been given. He really was… but slowly yet surely, he was realizing one by one what he had sacrifice, was sacrificing and would sacrifice in the future. But he wasn’t sure if he could deal with sacrificing his heart.

He wondered how different it would’ve been if Choi Sooyoung hadn’t entered his life.

Kris sighed yet again at the irony that was his life.

“Gege!” Tao whined, pouting fully for added effect. “Snap out of it already!”

The older man nodded stiffly. “She’s the president’s daughter… nothing more, nothing less.”

Tao shook his head. “You’re a bad liar, you know that?”
