THE WEDDING PLANNERS

(A/N): Hello, readers! We meet again! Hahaha...just wanna say...this is a very long chapter so please don't get tired in reading my story, okay??? And comment, comment, comment!!! Thanks a lot!!! Enjoy reading~~~~

So Eun held her breath when his voice rang inside her ears like a melody. Slowly, she felt her heart started to melt again even though it used to bleed because of their endless trouble before this. She tried to open , replying to him, telling him that she missed him too – so much – but Kris leaned forward to her even before she manages to talk. So Eun darted her eyes down when Kris reached for her hand and took it inside his palm. So Eun stared on their hands as Kris entwined it together and squeezed harder on her hand. Then they gazed up on each other’s face again. Kris gulped down his throat; he felt his strength increasing again whenever he held tight to her.

“So Eun ah...we used to be like this...we have to...”, he slowly but firmly whispered to her as he held up their entwined hands, showing her their wedding rings that collided together as their fingers embraced one another. Her heart touched as she caught his meaning behind the words and their hands. A tear escaped from her eye, it rolled down to her cheek but Kris immediately wiped it away with his other hand. Then he patted her cheek.

“We...we belong to each other, right???”, he asked her again, staring to So Eun with pleading eyes but as she inhaled deeply, wanting to give him an honest answer from her, someone came to stand between them and So Eun felt he grabbed tight on their entwined hands. Kris and So Eun simultaneously changed their eyes to Lee Joon who was now staring to Kris with sharp stares.

“You, and, I are going to talk...”, Lee Joon muttered the word one by one as he pointed his finger toward Kris before it back to his body. Kris frowned to him but he gasped in shock when Lee Joon strongly twisted their hands and he took So Eun’s palm inside him. So Eun eyed him in surprise too but he pushed her to step further inside the house.

“Si Hoo ah...take So Eun sshi inside...I need to finish my business with him...”, he said sternly as Si Hoo nodded and pushed his body beside Kris to walk entering her house.

“But...but...”, So Eun tried to stop them but Si Hoo had already grabbed her arms as Lee Joon hastily slammed close the door of her apartment. Kris took his steps in reverse as he fixed his eyes sharp on Lee Joon. They stood face to face on the corridor in front of her house. Kris jerked his eyebrow to him and he folded his arms across his chest.

“What is your problem actually?”, he questioned but Lee Joon smirked.

“That should be my line! Are you trying to come here and give So Eun sshi another trouble again??? Just back off, will you??? Give her some space to breathe!”, Lee Joon snapped to him but Kris shook his head in disbelief.

“Who are you to say that to me??? You’re just her bodyguard! All that you need to do is stay with your job and don’t ever think to in into our marriage!”, Kris growled back as Lee Joon took a step closer to him. He balled up his fists as he tried to control his desire from punching this flower boy.

“I am doing my job right now! I’m protecting her from being hurt by a like you! You called this a marriage??? Is it really marriage that you have between So Eun sshi and you??? Because I only saw you pampering another inside your house instead of your WIFE!!!”, Lee Joon scolded him again and Kris lost his head. He launched toward him as he grabbed Lee Joon on his collar and pushed his body to paste with the wall behind him. Lee Joon flinched a bit when his head bumped on the wall but he kept his murderous stares grudgingly on Kris.

“Don’t you dare say anything about Sooyoung! You don’t know anything about her! And So Eun is my wife! We’re officially married and I AM her HUSBAND!!!”, Kris shouted to him but Lee Joon chuckled.

“You never act like one...what a husband when he know nothing except to hurt his wife...Seriously, Kris Wu...I highly doubt that...”, Lee Joon said with calm voice to him before he pushed Kris’s hands around his collar and he took his steps back into So Eun’s door. Once he pushed on the bell, the door came to open. When Kris shifted his eyes to check on it, of course he was hoping for So Eun to stand there but only Si Hoo who shown up. He managed to shoot a glare toward Kris before they both entered the house and instantly locked the door. Kris bit his lips in mixture of anger and frustration when he heard the door was slammed close loudly. Then he closed his eyes and drifted to think again...

Lee Joon was right. He was a who knows nothing except to keep hurting So Eun. There were so many things that he had done in their marriage that kept on torturing her deep inside So Eun’s heart. Kris thought in despair as he crumpled his hands into fists, feeling the guilty overwhelmed in him too. How mean he was??? How could he hurt her after all this time???

“I’m sorry, love...I’m so sorry...”, he whispered alone inside his mind as Kris opened his eyes again. He was a failure – he could only watch even when he knew that So Eun was just inside the house with other men and he could just helplessly watch without having courage to bring her back to his side. Kris let out a heavy sigh and he took his small paces to walk away. What should he do with his beloved So Eun??? How can he win her again??? His mind had turned to complete blank for now.

“Is he gone???”, Si Hoo asked when Lee Joon stepped into the living room. Lee Joon frowned to him.

“Don’t bother about him...”, he replied and ducked his head toward So Eun. She sat very still on the couch as she kept her head down, staring only on her lap. Lee Joon sighed in hesitation before he slowly approached her.

“So Eun sshi...”, he called out and kneeled down before her on the floor. He tried to take a better look on her face but So Eun chose to stay hiding her face as she kept herself muted.

“I’m so sorry...I chased him away like that...”, Lee Joon told her but So Eun ignored him again. Si Hoo clicked his tongue and he walked over to sit on the arm of the couch, next to her. He patted So Eun on her shoulders.

“Be patient, miss...we know that you miss him...but he just need his lesson...”, Si Hoo assured her and So Eun gulped down . Maybe they were right – if she was the one who always surrender to him, Kris would learn nothing from it. He won’t even feel the pain that she used to suffer alone. Lastly, she took a deep breath and looked up to Lee Joon before changing her eyes to Si Hoo. They smiled to her and So Eun nodded her head.

“Thanks...it hurts like hell to let him walk away...but I’ll bear with it...”, she finally answered them, punching her chest lightly and both of her bodyguards grinned to her.

“Now that’s my missy!”, Si Hoo joked, trying to bring back the mood and he did successfully when So Eun started to laugh again. Then Lee Joon patted So Eun on her knee, making So Eun to turn looking at him back.

“Ah! I’m full!!!”, Yoo Bi screamed as she pushed away her plate alongside with the fork and spoon on it. Luhan smirked from across the table, watching her attitude as he took another sip on his wine. Yoo Bi pouted to him.

“Oppa! This is illegal, you know??? Teaching me to drink wine...”, Yoo Bi commented but she held her glass and took a big gulp on it. Luhan rolled his eyes and he burst out laughing when he saw her face turned hideous when she felt the sour taste of the grape wine.

“Yah, is your brain stop working tonight??? You had turned 19, babe! Look, it has past midnight already!”, he told her, reminding her about legal age to take alcohol as Yoo Bi grinned, looking up to the clock hung on the wall. It was 1 a.m. now. She chuckled, realizing that she was growing older another year again but she immediately gasped and clapped her hand on . Luhan stared wide to her.

“What???”, he asked, sounded confused.

“It’s 1 a.m. already! We’ve not yet back to home! Omma and appa will be worried about us! Quick, oppa! We need to get back!”, she said furiously as she stood up from the chair and pushed it back under the table. Luhan just watched in amusement as she ran around the living room to get her bag. Yoo Bi hissed to him.

“Yah! What are you still waiting??? Let’s go!”, she rushed him but Luhan shook his head and got up from his seat. He walked over to her before he grabbed Yoo Bi by her arm.

“Come...”, he said as he started to drag her entering the way that leads to his old bedroom.

“Aigoo...what are you doing??? I’m not visiting your old room! Not now!”, Yoo Bi nagged loudly to him but Luhan pulled open the door of the room and he pushed Yoo Bi strongly inside. She almost stumbled down to the floor as she walked in but Luhan quickly supported her around her waist. Then Yoo Bi stood straight again when Luhan clicked on the lamp and she widened her eyes on the bed. There were colorful boxes, wrapped in flowery and cartoon paper placed on it – they were her birthday presents. Yoo Bi curved a broad smile to Luhan as he smirked. Then he let go of her and walked to stand beside the bed, his finger pointing down to those gifts.

“This one is from appa and this is from omma...while this pinky box is from your unnie and her husband...”, Luhan explained to her, moving his finger one by one on each of it. Yoo Bi pouted but she hastily ran to his side and bent her head closer toward the boxes.

“Aigoo...how cute! So they had prepared this celebration with you??? What a waste! I can’t actually blow candle on my birthday cake with them!”, Yoo Bi complaint to him, shaking her head but Luhan lightly elbowed Yoo Bi on her arm.

“Yah! Be grateful that I’m here...”, he reminded her and Yoo Bi grinned, winking to him.

“You’re here but where is your present for me??? This is all from our family but none from you...”, Yoo Bi commented again and Luhan snorted in annoyance.

“Your demand is too high, Yoo Bi ah! Is that candlelight dinner not yet enough for you??? I’m working hard to prepare it, you know??? Please consider my effort!”, Luhan pouted to her and Yoo Bi shook her head, she rose up her hand toward him and pinched him hard on his cheek.

“Ouch!!!”, causing Luhan to yell in pain but Yoo Bi laughed in complete joy. Then only she let go of his cheek and Luhan hastily rubbed his skin.

“Hahaha! Thanks for that present but...I have to mention this...that steak is not very delicious...and the mushroom soup is...em...taste bad???”, Yoo Bi intentionally again and Luhan groaned loudly as he put up his hands on his waist.

“Then why did I hear you said, ‘I’m full’ just now huh??? If it did taste that horrible to you, stop eating then!”, Luhan scolded to her with his disgusted face and Yoo Bi went out laughing madly, clutching her stomach as she patted Luhan on his shoulder.

“Aigoo...I can’t cause any waste to the food...or else I’ll hurt my sweet hubby...poor him, he is an old man...I’m not willing to hurt any old folk...”, Yoo Bi replied again as her booming laughter followed her words. Luhan bit his lips, feeling unsatisfied toward his naughty wife as he nodded his head.

“Okay...let’s see if you can deal with this old man!”, he warned her before he started to grab her body but Yoo Bi screamed and stormed out from room. Luhan laughed madly too, chasing after her as Yoo Bi ran and they ended up acting like Tom and Jerry around the house.

“Aigoo!!! Oppa!!! Stop it!!! I’m just joking, okay!!!”, Yoo Bi screamed back to him, glancing around over her shoulder as she kept jumping on her feet.

“Huh! Why??? Are you tired??? You should be energetic, young lady!”, Luhan replied sarcastically to her and they ended up stopped panting from running around. Yoo Bi was standing in front of him as they had the couch separated them from each other’s place. They stared to each other before both of the lunatic husband and wife broke into mad laughter together.

“Hahahahahahahahaha!!! Aigoo!!! Stop being a kid, oppa!!!”, Yoo Bi commented between her laughter and panting as she felt amused when she thought that Luhan was the one who started to catch her first. But Luhan shook his head and grinned while panting. “It’s getting worse once you get older, you know...you’ll feel it later...the desire to be a kid again...”

They smiled on his reply and Yoo Bi inhaled deeply, trying to calm her breath again but when she moved to land her on the couch, Luhan stopped panting and stared quietly on her. Yoo Bi froze on her feet too.

“What???”, she tried to ask, eyeing him anxiously but she suddenly yelled in shock when Luhan jumped over the couch and crushed his body to her.

“Ah!!!”, she shouted again but she felt Luhan gripped tighter on her arms and he pushed her body to paste on the wall behind her. Now they were standing eyes to eyes as Luhan let go of her hands and moved it to touch the wall instead. Yoo Bi blinked her eyes, listening to the loud beating of her heart when she realized that Luhan trapped her to stand between the wall and him. She gazed up to his face and he was smiling attractively to her now.

“You don’t like my candlelight dinner present???”, he asked with low voice to her and Yoo Bi immediately shook her head.

“No...of course not...I love it...”, she answered and Luhan nodded. Slowly, he rested his forehead on her and Yoo Bi trailed her fingers on his chest.

“Actually...I have another present for you...”, he told her and Yoo Bi lifted up her head, forcing him to look at her again. “Really??? What is it???”

He didn’t answer her, instead Luhan leaned forward to his wife and he took her lips full into his mouth. Yoo Bi gasped between the kisses, suddenly dazzed out by his urgent and passionate kisses. But she instantly gained her consciousness back and Yoo Bi locked her hands around his neck to return his kiss wholeheartedly back. She felt her head bumped with the wall behind her and it hurt but she didn’t give a damn to the pain anymore as she was too deep in enjoying their kisses. Finally, they broke away when Luhan and Yoo Bi almost lose their breath.

“Wow...”, that was the only word that managed to slip from him before Yoo Bi nodded in agreement.

“I know...”, she replied and hid her face down when Yoo Bi was 100% sure that her face had turned as red as the baboon’s now. She laughed funnily at the idea and Luhan joined her too, without knowing what she was thinking actually. Then she gazed back to her husband.

“I changed my mind...I don’t want to go home tonight...let’s just stay here longer...”, she told him and Luhan smirked.

“I guess I’ve no other way than to agree with you...because you’re the birthday girl today...”, he concluded and scooped her up inside his arms. Her eyes grew wider as she clung to his shoulders when Luhan carried her inside the room back. He walked until he landed her body on the bed, pushing away the boxes to give enough space for Yoo Bi to lay down. As Yoo Bi realized that Luhan stood up again and took off his jacket, she sat straight and said in panic, “I don’t want to get pregnant!”

“Yah! Don’t think too much will you??? Who says about pregnant??? Let’s just sleep here tonight...I still need to work tomorrow...”, Luhan scolded her and Yoo Bi covered with her palm. Luhan had already slipped his body down next to her but she felt so embarrassed by her own thought and Yoo Bi buried her face on the pillow, she hugged it tightly and chose to ignore Luhan. He laughed shortly but he pulled the blanket to close their bodies and shut his eyes, trying to sleep. Silence wrapped them for a while before Yoo Bi slightly peeked out from the pillow to him.

“Oppa...”

“Hmmm...”

“I want to enter an art university after this...can’t I???”, Luhan frowned, immediately opened his eyes when she changed the topic so sudden about her academic and future. Luhan rolled his body to face her, pillowed his head with his arm instead as Yoo Bi finally revealed her face to him.

“Art university??? What course???”, he asked her, reaching out a hand to her long hair and Yoo Bi thought over it for a minute.

“Planning and designing course...”, she answered and Luhan narrowed his eyes. But he lastly grinned and nodded.

“No matter what is your choice, I’ll always have faith in you...just work hard for it, okay??? Achieve your dream...”, he encouraged her to pursue her dream and Yoo Bi smiled broadly. She gave him a nod before she moved toward him and snuggled her face closer into his neck. Luhan simply laughed, closing his hands around her small body.

Ara flinched again on her bed. She hastily covered her ears with her palms as soon as her cell phone rang again. It was the fifteenth times for today or more – she can’t exactly remembered it but the only thing that clear to her was, she couldn’t take this anymore! Then she let out a loud breath before she flipped the blanket away from wrapping her body and stood up. She walked to grab the phone and was about to throw it on the floor, making it to shut from ringing but she immediately frozen halfway. Ara brought the phone closer to her face and she realized this time the call came from her father, not from any stupid press or her busybody officemates.

“Appa...”, she called out weakly as she touched the screen to answer the call.

“Yah, Go Ara!!!”, Ara closed her eyes and distanced the phone from her ear once that ear-wrecking shout was the first that came for her. Then she slowly opened her eyes again before she pasted the phone back on her ear. “Yes, appa...”

“Where are you right now??? What are you doing??? What on Earth is actually happening now??? Why your picture is on the newspaper today??? Who is that man, Ara yah??? Is he really a prince??? And why on Earth Lay was walking hand in hand with another woman??? Answer me, Ara yah!!!”, Mr. Go unstoppably and forcefully asking his daughter as Ara felt her body gone weaker now. She shook her head aggressively and slowly slipped her body down to the floor. She burst out crying again, couldn’t contempt the disappointment and grief in her heart. Mr. Go let out a heavy sigh once he listened to her crying voice.

“Ara yah...”, then only his voice softened back. Ara on the other line was trying hard to stop her tears from flowing out but it just stubbornly couldn’t stop and she failed miserably on her attempt to do so.

“I’m so sorry, appa...I don’t know what was actually had happened yesterday...I can’t understand anything...I don’t know what is wrong with Lay and me...I just don’t get it what is happening in our marriage...”, she forced herself to talk between her sobs and Mr. Go hissed impatiently. He can’t believe it that Lay left his daughter to deal with this problem alone! Where was he when she needs him???

Meanwhile inside the hospital, Mr. Zhang was listening to the morning report from his radio with his body gone stiffer upon knowing the earth-shaking news.

“Latest news, two unexpected couples showed out themselves in front of the public yesterday...an exclusive cafeteria suddenly being a special spot for these couples to meet each other...the press spotted a royal prince, Cho Kyuhyun was leaving the cafe with a young pretty woman that also named by the source as Go Ara...meanwhile a top and famous female idol, Tiffany Hwang was seen to be holding hands with a young trainee from her company that named Zhang Yixing...the press have not getting any confirmation on their relationship but the source said that both party will hold a conference later to explain about their relationship...”, the old man ended up groaning and he angrily shut off the radio.

“What is their problem actually???”, he mumbled under his breath as his hand picked up the phone from the side table of his bed. Then he dialed straight to his grandson. One, two, three sound of beeping before Lay’s tired voice came into his eardrum. “Annyeong...yes, grandpa?”

“Yixing ah...I don’t have to tell you why I’m calling you, right??? Tell me everything, son...what is happening between you and Ara??? Is everything alright???”, his grandpa started to ask and Lay let out a heavy sigh. He shifted his body uncomfortably on his seat as he rested his head against the wall behind him.

“I’m not really sure about it...I don’t even expect to meet Ara there on that night...my mind just gone blank when I saw her...she had never mention anything about being friend with a prince or knowing him personally to me before...”, Lay explained to his grandfather and Mr. Zhang shook his head.

“So how do you guys settle this thing??? Where are you right now??? Is Ara with you???”, he questioned him again and Lay shrugged.

“Actually...as long as the press never know that we’re married, everything is going to be fine...I think...I’m in the company right now...discussing with Tiffany sshi and my manager about doing the press conference...and Ara...I think the royal people will definitely do something to stop the gossip about their prince...so she would be just fine...don’t worry...”, Lay assured him, trying to sound firm about the matter but the uncertainty never leave his heart. He was still feeling hurt whenever he thought about Ara and her royal buddy last night. He never thought that Ara would have a very special and rich friend like that. They were laughing and riding the same car together – it was killing him inside just to think about it. Finally, Lay was snapped out from his thought when Mr. Zhang sighed again over the line.

“Alright...just call me if you need any help, okay??? I trust that you and Ara are going to be fine...it’s just a misunderstanding...you both need to talk properly with each other...”, his grandpa reminded him and Lay nodded.

Sooyoung arranged her slow steps out from the checkup room as she her tummy gently. It was almost three months now since she carried this little life inside her. Once she closed the door behind her, she turned her body to front again and scanned her eyes around the waiting seats. Lastly, her sight stopped on Kris, sitting at the corner of the area as he leaned his body on the chair and had his face covered with palms. Sooyoung studied his face from here – he looks tired and distracted even when he shut his eyes like that. She sighed under her breath before she moved approaching him.

“Kris oppa...”, she called out, touching his shoulder gently and Kris opened his eyes back. He looked up to her and forced a thin smile.

“So how is it your baby??? What is the doctor say??? Everything is fine???”, he asked her and Sooyoung smiled while nodding. She patted her stomach.

“My baby is good...he is growing healthily each and every day...it just that the doctor said, I can’t be to depress while pregnant...so he advised me to control my mood...”, Sooyoung informed him and Kris squeezed Sooyoung on her hand.

“There is nothing to worry, Sooyoung ah...you’ll be just fine...”, he assured her and Sooyoung winked playfully.

“As long as you’re with me, I’m not going to ask for more! Now, let’s go back...”, Sooyoung cheered to him and Kris laughed shortly too. But then he gave her a nod and stood up to start walking, briefly rubbing his hand on his forehead as he was quite distracted by non-stop headache recently. Sooyoung frowned to him when she saw Kris closed his eyes, looking like he was enduring something painful inside him. She stopped walking and tugged Kris on his sleeve, making him to pause on his feet too.

“What’s wrong???”, he asked, still massaging his forehead as Sooyoung pulled his arms so that he turned his body to face her.

“Look at me...you’re the one that wrong right now...why??? Are you having a headache??? Wanna see the doctor??? Come, we’re still in the hospital after all...”, Sooyoung told him in concern but Kris simply smiled and shook his head.

“Nah...I’m fine...I don’t need to see the doctor for now...let’s just go back...you must be starving, right??? What do you wanna eat, So Eun ah???”, Kris refused and he started to walk again while asking her. But Sooyoung froze on her feet as she listened to him and shifted her eyes on his back as she watched him walking away from behind. She bit her lips in anger; her ears weren’t stop working right??? She didn’t wrongly listen to him, right?? Kris tilted his head sideway and he paused from walking when he saw Sooyoung wasn’t there next to him. He turned his body back to her and saw that Sooyoung was narrowing her eyes to him. Kris frowned.

“What are you waiting for??? Let’s go back...I’ll buy you something to eat...”, Kris pressed again and took his steps toward her but Sooyoung clicked her tongue and holding up her palms.

“No, wait! Did you even aware of what you just said to me??? You called me SO EUN???!! I’m not her!!!”, Sooyoung immediately snapped to him and Kris opened his mouth in disbelief. He gulped down his throat, trying to say something but no word came out from his mouth. He was left speechless when he knew that he had accidently called for So Eun and not her name, Sooyoung. She hissed to him as she squeezed her shoulders and tried to walk away. Then only Kris realized it and he hastily ran toward her.

“No...Sooyoung ah...wait!”, Kris said and he grabbed Sooyoung on her arms to stop her from walking further away. Sooyoung shot him a sharp glare as she gazed up to him. Kris closed his eyes, regaining his consciousness before he opened it back and looked down to her.

“I’m sorry, okay? But please...we need to talk about this...”, he started slow but Sooyoung growled.

“Talk about what??? Talk about you and So Eun??? Rubbish!!! You’re actually thinking about her, don’t you??? That’s why you look so distracted lately! I don’t care if you miss her or what!!! But at least kick her out from your thought whenever you’re around me!!!”, Sooyoung scolded him loudly and Kris let go of a long sigh. He threw his hands up to his head in frustration and he walked nearing the glass window beside them. Then he stood motionless there, fixing his sight far away outside the hospital as he was supposed to see those cars parked along the road but no, he didn’t see them. Instead, he was madly thinking about So Eun’s multi-expression inside his mind. Her smiling face, her grinning face, her winking face, her crying face, her angry face as she shouted to him and the way she clung to him whenever he kissed her – they melted together so naturally and Kris missed all of it! As Sooyoung stared grudgingly to him, Kris sighed weakly and he tilted his head to look at her back.

“I can’t go on like this, Sooyoung ah...it’s too painful to think that it had been two weeks since So Eun was gone from that house...I’m so worried about her...”, Kris told her but Sooyoung hissed and crossed her arms over her chest.

“She will be just fine! Alive and kicking because there are two bodyguards hovering around her! You don’t have to be over worried about her!”, Sooyoung reminded him angrily but Kris shook his head.

“No, you don’t understand...she might be fine but I’m the one that wrong right now...I am not fine...”, Kris told her forcefully and Sooyoung gulped down . She started to feel unease and anxious upon hearing to his words.

“What do you mean by that???”, she dared asking to him and Kris finally sighed heavily again.

Lay wondered his eyes along the endless line of press, hovering in front of him and Tiffany. He looked like he could die any minute from now because of the boredom, waiting for the press conference to start. When he darted his eyes toward Tiffany, she was still smiling and waving to the press – she seems like she enjoyed the attention that they got from those press. As he listened to the mad clicking sound of cameras, the speaker from his company finally climbed up the stage. He stood before the microphone and cleared his throat loudly, trying to change the attention from Tiffany and Lay to him.

“Annyeong, everyone...welcome to this press conference...we may start the interview now...”, he announced and bunch of reporters started to raise their hands, trying to shoot Tiffany and Lay with questions regarding their love gossip recently.

“Annyeong, Tiffany sshi...can you tell us honestly...do you really in a special relationship with Mr. Zhang???”, one of them asked and Tiffany glanced sideway toward Lay, trying to check on his expression but she found nothing except dullness. Then she curved a smile and briefly shook her head.

“No...we are not in that kind of relation that everyone thought...I’m just his talent scout and Mr. Zhang is still in progress to start his career as a trainee artist...sooner or later he will debut as an official idol too...”, Tiffany informed them and the reports jotted down her answer inside their respective laptop. Then they shifted the question to Lay.

“How about you, Mr. Zhang??? What are you thinking when you know the rumors about you and Tiffany sshi???”, they questioned him and Lay simply shrugged.

“I’ve no idea about it...I just thought that going out for a drink with my talent scout is not a crime...and so that is all we have...nothing more...”, he told them and they broke into laughter upon his answer. Tiffany grinned along them too but Lay was the only one who kept wearing his long face even though everyone was laughing. He didn’t have any mood to smile, grin or laugh. He was too deep in thinking about his wife, Ara in the middle of the busy press. Lay questioned silently inside his mind, was Ara remembering him too???

The answer was definitely yes because next to this hall where he attended his conference, Ara was actually sitting beside Kyuhyun in another hall as they were in the middle of their private meeting with only a few press that they invited to know more about their news. Ara leaned her body lazily against the chair as she kept quiet, leaving Kyuhyun to answer all the questions by himself. Her mind gone blank from the very start she arrived in this hall and nothing filled her thought except wondering about her husband, Lay.

“Your Highness...pardon us to ask you but can you explain about your relationship with Go Ara sshi???”, a male reporter asked him and Kyuhyun simply curved a thin smile.

“I’m only her boss...we’re officemate, friend...that’s all we have in our relation because I’m actually in a co-operation with Ara’s planning company...we work together in a project and Ara sshi is one of the planner so we simply talked about job whenever we met...”, Kyuhyun answered him smoothly and Ara was kind of impressed by his calmness in handling this problem – as expected from a prince, she thought and shifted uncomfortably on the chair but the reporters changed their attention to her now.

“Go Ara sshi...and what do you feel when you get to be a close friend with a royal relative like Prince Kyuhyun??? Are you feeling happy or you think of it as a burden to you???”, they asked for her opinion and Ara gulped down . She gazed up toward them and tried to force a fake smile.

“No...being a friend with Prince Kyuhyun is not a problem to me...he is a real good man and kindhearted friend...he help me a lot in finishing our project...so the day when we went out together, is just between a boss and his worker...nothing more than that...”, Ara explained to them and Kyuhyun nodded his head in agreement.

“Yeah...it’s true...beside, Ara sshi is actually a married woman...”, he suddenly slipped that answer from his mouth and Ara immediately cracked her neck sideway to look at him with wide eyes. Why would he inform them about it??? It should be a secret!!! As Ara looked in panic toward him, Kyuhyun stayed calm and he reached out his hand under the table to pat Ara slowly on her own palm, giving her a silence signal that everything was going to be alright. Ara cursed under her breath and she turned her head back toward the press. They were all looked caught off in surprise.

“Really??? You’re married, Ara sshi??? Then what is your husband’s respond when he read the news about you???”, they shot her with questions again and Ara sighed tiredly.

“He...he is not here actually...he is in the middle of outstation outside the country so...yeah...he never know the news...”, Ara tried to make her voice sounded confident when she lied to them and Kyuhyun simply smiled sideway to her. She managed to shoot him a sharp glare before she stood up from her seat and bowed down to all the press.

“Sorry...but excuse me for a while...”, she told them and Ara walked straight to leave the hall, thinking about going to the ladies for a while. She needs to calm herself and breathe properly again. That was what she decided when she pulled the door of the hall and pushed her body out from it. Simultaneously, someone walked out too from the hall across from her and Ara stood frozen on her feet when she realized that person was Lay.

Ara bit her lips in disbelief when she could finally see him right before her eyes again. She always thought that it was impossible to meet her husband after this kind of rumors spread widely about them – Lay and Tiffany while she was with Kyuhyun. It was all too complicated for them but she felt her heart touched, her eyes gone wet again when she saw Lay was standing a few meters from her. His eyes was wide on her too as he gulped down his throat in surprise and shock. He never expect that Ara would be in the same hotel as him, attending her own press conference. They both scanned the corridor around them, making sure that there was no one to see them. When they saw the corridor was empty, only the two of them standing there, Ara and Lay slowly took their steps to approach each other. They ended up standing face to face together, gazing deeply into each other’s eyes.

“What are you doing here???”, they questioned simultaneously and stopped.

“Press conference...”, Lay answered ahead of her while Ara nodded, “Yeah...me too...”

Awkward silence wrapped them again before Lay took a deep breath. He bit his lips, hesitated to talk but he braved his heart and stood straight to tell her everything that he had been enduring since the time without her.

“Ara yah...I’m so tired...”, he started and Ara gave him a nod again.

“I understand...the same goes for me too...”, she agreed with him and Lay curved a bitter smile.

“I’m tired of life around me...I just want to escape this mad world...”, he continued again and Ara took a step closer toward him.

“Then...let’s just go away...run as far as we can...because I’ll be with you wherever you wanna go...so...do you want to be with me???”, Ara offered to him and Lay slowly grinned to her, showing his sweet dimple that she missed so much to see on his face. Finally, he nodded.

“You can’t possibly tell how much I want to be with you...only with you...so, yeah...let’s run...”, Lay confessed to her and they ended up laughing awkwardly to each other. Ara smiled in excitement too before she grabbed Lay by his collar and landed a kiss on his lips. Lay chuckled.

“So Eun ah...”, Aunt Jung called out to her, approaching the girl who sat around the table inside her shop. So Eun looked up to her and asked, “Yes??? What is it, aunty???”

“Your customer called just now...she said the cake that you picked for them is different from what they want...it’s wrong so she asked you to order the new one...”, Aunt Jung informed her and So Eun blinked her eyes.

“Wrong??? Em...which customer is that???”, she asked her again and Aunt Jung took a seat in front of her. “Miss Suzy, I think...”

“Oh...that girl...I thought she wanted me to order the orange flavor cake...I did and what she want now???”, So Eun complaint, frowning in confusion as she gazed straight to Aunt Jung but the old woman shook her head.

“Orange cake??? No, honey...she received mocha cake from you...you did it wrong...”, she assured her again and So Eun let out a long sigh. She threw the pen that she held down on the table as she covered her face with her hands, feeling the tiredness overwhelming inside her whole body. Aunt Jung watched her in silence before she clicked her tongue and rested her elbows on the table, staring closely to So Eun’s expressionless face.

“So Eun ah...you look so dreadful lately...”, she commented to her and So Eun moved her hands down to reveal her face back. “What???”

“I don’t know what is happening to you but you can’t go on living like this...”, Aunt Jung added to her again and So Eun shook her head.

“I’m fine...”, she answered with empty face, looking so much not fine until it earned a smirk from the old lady.

“You’re not good in lying, So Eun ah...so stop lying...especially to yourself...”, she replied and So Eun frowned questioningly to her.

“What do you mean???”

“You know what I exactly meant about it...what I want you to do is stop lying to yourself and just be honest...”, Aunt Jung gave out her advice for So Eun but the young girl curved up her bitter smile.

“Be honest...about what??? My husband is living with another girl in our house...what else can I do to stop him???”, So Eun finally voiced out the ultimate question that had been stuck inside her mind after all this time. Aunt Jung gasped and frowned in shock as soon as she heard.

“He what???”, she can’t believe her words but So Eun simply nodded her head, her eyes started to become warm with tears again whenever she thought about it – she was so tired to contain this disappointment in her heart. Aunt Jung bit her lips in disbelief and confusion before she looked up again to So Eun.

“What is the reason Kris is doing that???”, she asked and So Eun jerked up her eyebrow.

“She is pregnant and she needs someone to take care of her...her father didn’t want her and so she is alone now...no one can save her except Kris...yeah, upon thousands of man in this world...she needs my husband...and my husband foolishly agreed to her...the end...”, So Eun told Aunt Jung the story with her sarcastic voice and she ended up laughing awkwardly upon the story. Aunt Jung sighed loudly and shook her head.

“It’s unbelievable...I never expect Kris would do something like that...”, she commented but So Eun smirked.

“He is Kris Wu, aunty...there’s nothing that can stop him from taking his decision...once he decided, no one can change it anymore...”, So Eun replied, sounded so much drowned in despair but Aunt Jung hissed impatiently. She leaned her body closer to the table.

“So Eun ah...you’re wrong if you think like that...”, the lady told her and So Eun frowned. “Why???”

“Because you’re his wife...the decision should come together from both of you...and you have the exact right to stop him...if you want to chase that woman out from your house, then just do it! The house is yours too...so don’t give a damn about her...just do anything that is right for your marriage...”, Aunt Jung encouraged her and So Eun fell silent for a while. She thought over for it but lastly she shook her head.

“I can’t...”, and Aunt Jung rolled her eyes, feeling disgusted by her blind pureness.

“Why??? Because you’re not use to be an evil woman??? Then be one now! As long as you can keep your husband only for you!”

“For what??? If I keep him but he doesn’t really love me the way I want him to, then what is the use to do that??? I will just embarrassing myself! I wouldn’t do that!”, So Eun refused stubbornly to her and Aunt Jung sighed again. She leaned her body against the chair and folded her arms across her chest.

“You’re worried that Kris don’t love you...but have you ever hear it from him that he never love you???”, Aunt Jung shot her another mysterious question and So Eun kept shut. Of course, Kris never say that he loves her. Then So Eon slowly shook her head.

“That is your problem! You judge his feeling even before you know his heart...why don’t you just ask him??? Ask him whether he love you or not...”, Aunt Jung suggested to her but So Eun bit her lips and shook her head aggressively.

“Of course I can’t ask him! It will be too embarrassing!”

“Then what is the point of marrying him, idiot??? You both have the right to know each other’s feeling! You’re not a robot! You’re a human and human has heart! So just ask honestly to your heart...do you love him or not???!!”, Aunt Jung lost her patience toward So Eun and she threw her hands up to her head, groaning in frustration. As soon as she heard her aunty scolding her, So Eun was immediately fallen silent again. She gulped down , feeling so much difficult to say it out loud but she forced her head to nod.

“Yes...I love him...I love him, Aunt Jung...and it’s troublesome when I don’t really know what he exactly feels about me...”, So Eun finally confessed to her and Aunt Jung clicked her tongue.

“Aigoo...So Eun ah! Don’t be so slow, will you??? If he keeps his mouth shut, then you’re the one who should tell him first! Tell him your true feeling...say it to him...in whatever the way it is but just remember to confess...you’re facing so many problem in your marriage all because both of you are so stubborn to confess about your feeling! Just utter it...’I love you’ and everything will be settle! Case close!”, Aunt Jung growled to her again and So Eun wiped away her tears stubbornly.

“But...but...what if Kris doesn’t feel it the way I feel for him???”, So Eun asked through her tears and Aunt Jung let out a long sigh. But she got up from her seat and walked over to kneel next to So Eun. So Eun shifted her body to face her too before Aunt Jung reached out to squeeze her hand inside her palm.

“So Eun ah...you don’t need to have so many doubt in your mind...just listen to your heart...”, the lady said, her voice was low and gentle now as she picked up So Eun’s palm and pasted it on her chest instead.

“Like this...ask deep in your heart...if you’re sincerely loving him, then just be brave and tell him the truth...because sooner or later, your feeling will reach his heart too...I am sure that Kris will fall in love with you...you’re such a kind and generous girl...only a fool will never love you...trust me...your feeling will reach him if you’re sincere about it...”, Aunt Jung advised to her gently and So Eun felt a tear escaped again from her eye. But she nodded her head and bent her body down to hug her aunty. Aunt Jung smiled and returned her hug as she So Eun on her hair.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

“Attention, please...the train to Busan will be in just...”, Ara listened to the announcement made by the operator but she can’t change her attention from the newspaper that she held inside her hand. She was still deep in reading the detail of news regarding her rumors with Kyuhyun and about Lay’s gossip with Tiffany. Her heart suddenly worried to think that they left the press conference without informing anyone this evening.

“Stop worrying about it, Ara yah...you just need to think about us right now...”, Lay suddenly interrupted and he grabbed the newspaper away from her hand.

“Hey! I’m still reading it!”, Ara tried to refuse, stretching her hand forward to get the newspaper back from him but Lay shoved it behind his body and blocked his face just a few inch from her. Ara stopped moving and she blinked her eyes toward him. Lay grinned but he bit his lips ily.

“If you want so much to stare on my face...then you don’t have to see it on the paper...I’m here so look only at me...”, Lay told her, winking naughtily but Ara rolled her eyes and pushed his chest away to distance their bodies from each other.

“It’s not what I want...I just want to read the news not to see your face!”, she chuckled and Lay put the paper away. Then he nodded and stood up, keeping his hands inside his pockets.

“Alright then...if you said it like that...then I’ll just go back to home...”, he tested her and took his first step but Ara hissed in irritation and she hastily grabbed Lay by his arm.

“No! Don’t go! I’m just kidding, okay???”, she begged to him, sounded nervous because she was afraid to lose him again but Lay stopped walking and smirked sideway to her.

“Then I’ll forgive you...”, he replied before curving his sweet smile for her. Ara started to smile for him too but she can’t stand staring to his dimple so close like this so she groaned and pinched his dimple, causing Lay to scream in pain.

“Auuuuwww! Ouch!!! Stop it, Ara! It hurts!”, he tried to push her hand away but Ara twisted his cheek harder.

“Aigoo!!! My husband is sooooo cute!!! Aigoo!!!”, she mumbled to him but then the train arrived before them and Ara let go of his skin.

“Look! The train is here! Come! It’s time to board!”, she cheered, ignoring Lay who was pouting while he rubbed the spot where Ara pinched him just now. But he gave no comment to it as he let Ara entwined their hands and dragged him to step inside the train. They decided to take the night train to Busan, just to enjoy the scenery and relax their mind away from the entire problem. Lay thought that a small trip with Ara won’t hurt anybody, right??? They just wanted to spend some time together before going back to the reality where they need to hide the fact that they were husband and wife.

Ara scanned around the train and she lastly decided for them to take the last two seats at the back, away from other passengers. She didn’t want any attention from anyone right now because she just want to keep Lay to her, only the two of them so she quickly dragged Lay to walk over and sit.

“Get inside!”, she said excitedly and pushed his shoulders from behind so that Lay sat next to the window. Lay rolled his eyes but he kept silence and followed her order. Then she settled down next to him and the train started to move again, beginning their journey.

“Yeah!!! We managed to run!!!”, Ara shouted excitedly, waving her hands up but Lay hissed and immediately covered with his palm.

“Yah! Keep your voice down! We’re on paper today, remember??? What if someone notice us together??? I don’t want to handle another problem anymore!”, Lay whispered mysteriously to her, reminded her and Ara nodded her head. When she was silence again, Lay slowly put down his hand but she yelled back.

“Yahoooo!!!”, and Lay covered again, putting up a finger on his own lips. Ara blinked cutely to him but when Lay lowered his hand, she started to scream for the third time...

“Yeeeaaa...”, and Lay was forced to paste his palm on back. He narrowed his eyes to her.

“Yah, Zhang Ara! You better stop it! I won’t put down my hand if you don’t promise that you will be silence! Now, promise me first!”, he growled to her and Ara gave him a nod.

“Promise???”, he pressed to her once again and Ara saluted to him, signing that she would obey him. Lay nodded his head in agreement and he was about to release from his palm but...

“Aaaahhhh...!”, giving up, Lay cupped her face inside his hands and he pasted his lips on her. Quickly, Ara returned his kiss and Lay found out that he was deceived by her – she just trapped him to kiss her. He cursed silently inside his heart by her cunning thought but he enjoyed her naughty attitude and he started to give Ara passionate kisses. They continued until they were out of breath and Lay pulled away from her, resting his head back on his seat. Ara smiled and rubbed her lips sheepishly.

“Sorry...”, she muttered with low voice but Lay just gave her a smirk.

“It’s fine...you won this time...but I won’t let that happen again after this...”, he told her sarcastically before they broke out laughing together.

We were both young when I first saw you...

I close my eyes and the flashback starts...

I’m standing there, on a balcony in summer air...

Lay and Ara were both fell silence again when they noticed the song inside the train had changed from a K-pop song to an English song now. The sweet melody filled the whole area inside the train and Ara hummed along with it, enjoying the romantic lyrics.

“Love Story...from Taylor Swift...you like this song???”, Lay asked her, eyeing his wife from the corner of his eyes and Ara nodded with a broad smile.

“Yes...the English is quite easy to understand...the lyric is simple...”, she agreed to him and Lay chuckled. But he shut his mouth again and leaned back into his seat as they both listened to the song.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns...

I see you make your way through the crowd...

And say hello, little did I know...

Ara laughed at her own thought. Even though the lyric told about another different story but when she sang the line about ‘I see you make your way through the crowd’, she instantly remembered the day when Lay suddenly approached her in the middle of the busy road and asked her to marry him. Lay laughed along with her too like they knew each other’s thought.

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles...

And my daddy said, stay away from Juliet...

And I was crying on the staircase...

Begging you please don’t go...

And I said...

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone...

I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run...

You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess...

It’s a love story, baby just say yes...

That was when Lay reached sideway to her and slung his arm around Ara’s shoulders. He pulled her body closer to him and whispered into her ear, “Will you say yes to me???”

Ara gazed up to him, staring deep into his eyes before she smiled.

“I had been saying yes to you...from the very start...when you came to me and asked me to marry you...I blindly said yes...and when you begged me to save you from marrying an ajumma...I did say yes too...and now if I’m saying no, I won’t be in this train with you...”, Ara explained to him and Lay simply laughed. He nodded his head in agreement to her before he looked back to Ara.

“Thanks...for keeping your yes for me...”, he told her and Ara rested her head on his shoulder, throwing her eyes outside the window toward the starry night sky.

“Of course...my yes will stay for you...only you...”

“Same here...”

“Thank you...”

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

“So Eun ah...you don’t need to have so many doubt in your mind...just listen to your heart...ask deep in your heart...if you’re sincerely loving him, then just be brave and tell him the truth...because sooner or later, your feeling will reach his heart too...I am sure that Kris will fall in love with you...you’re such a kind and generous girl...only a fool will never love you...trust me...your feeling will reach him if you’re sincere about it...”

So Eun sighed heavily to herself as she walked alone along the street. She suddenly decided to visit her shop tonight because she thought of keeping herself busy with work, proceeding any wedding plan, making draft or whatever that can keep her from thinking about Kris. She knew that if she stays any minute longer in her apartment, she will die because of stress – thinking and doubting about Kris over and over again. She finally reached the junction that lead to her shop and she cornered that way. But when she walked further, approaching the corridor in front of her shop, her steps got slower when she realized that someone was standing before the door of her shop.

So Eun froze on her feet, thinking if that person was a customer before she resumed walking toward it. Under the small beam of the light came from the nearby street lamp, she could only saw a pair of long, slim legs but as she trailed her eyes up to that person’s face, the darkness had covered it – preventing So Eun from making sure if that person was a boy or girl. She had started to feel worried about this but when she decided to turn her body back, walking away and not approaching her shop, that person stepped out from the dark. So Eun finally saw his face when the light fell on him – she widened her eyes, it was Kris.

Kris was staring to her with uncertain eyes too. He was actually in shock when he realized that So Eun was here. He just came here tonight because he wanted to take a look on her shop. No, that was a very silly reason – it was actually because he missed her so much but didn’t dare to go visit her at her apartment. So he ended up driving like a fool to her shop and waiting like a moron in front of it. So Eun lost her way, she can’t decide whether to walk toward him or to walk back home. So she stayed there until Kris cleared his throat and took a few steps approaching her. So Eun watched him anxiously before Kris stopped just a meter away from where she stood – they kept staring to each other.

“Can we talk???”, Kris asked her and So Eun blinked her eyes. She was still caught in confusion because she never thought that she would see him here, in the middle of this cold night with just the two of them along the empty road. But slowly she gave him a nod. Then Kris took a deep breath and tried his best to be honest with her.

“I’ve never feel it...”, he started but it sounded like a weird start so So Eun jerked up her eyebrow. “Pardon???”

“I’ve never feel it...such a painful human’s feeling...I used to get what I want, everything since I was a kid...I never have to say no to anything that I desired, that I wished for...they gave it to me...not until I met you...”, he told her and So Eun chose to keep silence, listening to him as Kris continued.

“When I met you...my life started to change...not just a little...but a lot...and maybe I can say that...everything is change...every part of me changed too...I wanted to marry Sooyoung, to have a happy life with her...but I can’t...I can’t have her because my mom stopped me to...instead she asked me to marry you...no, she wasn’t asking...she was forcing me to marry you...that was the first time where I didn’t get what I want...then again, when my father arranged for us to stay together even though I don’t want to stay in a place with you...I want to keep free from you even though we’re married...but again, I can’t...we have to live together in that house...I’ve never tell you this...but I hate noisy girl...hate it so much...but I have to bear it whenever you’re being loud to me...whenever you’re mad at me, whenever we fight together, and you cried because of me...again and again...I know that there were so many times before that I made you cry...”, Kris explained to her everything that he felt and So Eun found herself weeping over his story. She sniffed, trying to stop her tears but her heart was so touched by it. Kris looked so much in pain too when he confessed to her.

“I never want you in my life, So Eun ah...I hate it,  the fact that you make me to do everything that I’ve never done before...I hate it when you never listen to me...but I even more hate it when I realized that...I’ve started to like everything...every single thing that I have in my life whenever you’re around...so when you’re gone...so suddenly like now...I realize that...I’m missing something so precious in my life...it is empty...without you, So Eun ah...I miss you...every single day...I keep missing you...but I know, I can’t hurt you anymore...so I keep myself away from you...but...everything is dull around me...and I see nothing but you...only you...”, he told her again and So Eun finally ran straight to him. Kris opened his arms for her and he ended up carrying her inside his hands, hugging her tight to him. So Eun closed her arms harder around his neck as she hid her face on his shoulder, crying her heart out there. As Kris pressed her body closer to him, he found his own eyes gone wetter too – he was crying with her.

“I’m begging you, So Eun ah...don’t ever leave me again...please...it hurts like hell...”, Kris whispered into her ear and So Eun snuggled into his neck, inhaling his sweet scent.

“I’m sorry if I kept you waiting...I’m very sorry, Kris...”, she apologized to him but Kris shook his head as he his fingers gently into her hair.

“No...I’m even more sorry to you...I’m sorry that I left you to suffer alone...so sorry...please forgive me...”, Kris apologized to her back and he kissed her neck before rested his face on her shoulder. So Eun gasped, feeling hard to breathe when Kris was hugging her waist so tight but she would rather break inside his arm than to let him go. Instead, she clung tighter to him and whispered to his ear.

“Kris...I love you...”, she confessed to him and Kris froze for a while. Then he slowly parted their bodies to stare into her eyes again. He smiled and wiped away her tears with his fingers then he moved his hands to cup her face.

“Don’t you love me???”, So Eun demanded for his answer but instead of saying a word to her, he kissed her lips – brushing his lips gently on her before they resumed hugging again in the middle of the night road. Thanked God it was night right now or else everyone would be puzzle by their too sudden drama! The night got older and they started to shiver in cold until they decided to stay inside So Eun’s shop. As she gone to the back room, preparing for their hot cups of coffee, Kris stood in the middle of the front door – keeping his sight on the empty corridor. Then So Eun walked out from the room with their mugs inside her hands. She put it down on the table before she gazed toward Kris on his back. She smiled alone; she was glad that she decided to come here tonight. Then she exhaled slowly before she arranged her steps until she stopped beside him and looked up to his sinfully handsome face.

“What are you thinking???”, So Eun asked when she was aware of Kris’s deep stare on the road in front of her shop. He simply curved up a thin smile before he glanced sideway to her.

“Don’t you remember it??? The first time we met...it was in this shop, right???”, he questioned to her and So Eun fell silence for a while. But a minute after that, she broke out into laughter when she recalled their first argument here.

“Yeah...it was when your mom came here and asked me to marry you...the idea was so mindless to me...I almost say no but then came the press...”, she told him about their story again and Kris chuckled.

“I was so mad at that time...it was such a chaos right??? I don’t even have a chance to say ‘annyeong’ to you...everyone’s first met should be like that, right??? But ours were so different...”, he commented and they burst out laughing again. Kris was amused whenever he remembered his wife’s unexpected attitude on that day.

“You were so brave...saying out loud to the press that you didn’t want to marry me...”, Kris added again and So Eun giggled.

“Trust me...I wanted so bad to scream at you during that time...”, So Eun replied to him and Kris grinned broadly. But then they fell silence before...

“Now, everyone! Listen to me! I’m sorry about the mistake but I’m not marrying him!”, So Eun suddenly shouted, imitating her words as the day when they argued for the first time, in front of the whole press and reporters.

“Further information for all of you, I’m not marrying her too!”, Kris continued after her, using the exact tone like he said a few months before.

“Great! We are even now!”, she said as she smiled her stunningly beautiful but devilish smile to him as Kris raised his eyebrow high wickedly.

“Glad to know that!”, he replied and So Eun nodded.

“Now get out from my shop!”, she exclaimed and pointed her hand straight to the exit way of this shop.

“With pleasure!”, Kris finished it up for them and they burst out laughing madly, clutching to their stomachs as So Eun leaned her body on the wall behind her while Kris had sat down on the floor.

“Aigoo!!! That was so funny!!!”, So Eun managed to slip between her laughter and Kris wiped dry his watery eyes, impact from laughing too much. They took a deep breath, calming themselves again before Kris stood up and looked straight to his wife. So Eun frowned. “What???”

“Will you come back???”, he suddenly asked her. “To where???”

“To our home...”, Kris finished for her and So Eun became serious again. She almost forgot that Sooyoung was still living in their house while she was staying in her old apartment. When Kris realized the changes on her face, he reached toward her hand and entwined them together.

“Let me give you a promise...just for another 7 months...please bear with Sooyoung...as for now, she still need to live with us because she is pregnant...but trust me, as soon as her baby is born...I’ll keep her away from our home, okay??? Please...I want you to live with me again but I can’t let Sooyoung to stay anywhere alone...she is pregnant and it would be too dangerous for her...someone need to look after her...and if you don’t want to think about her, then please...consider about the baby...he is not at fault...”, Kris explained to her and So Eun sighed heavily. It was so difficult for her to decide but she can’t just give up on Kris. Another bitter idea came to her when she thought that she needs to share him with Sooyoung if the three of them staying together. She bit her lips, stayed in silence for a while before she briefly nodded.

“But with one condition...”, So Eun said firmly and Kris nodded. “Okay...what is it???”

“Move in to my floor...stay with me in the first floor...”, she requested to him and Kris chuckled.

“What??? Is it the third floor is too far from you???”, he questioned but So Eun hissed and grabbed Kris on his arms, she crumpled harder on his sleeves, signaling to him that she was not gonna let him go.

“I can’t let you stay alone on the third floor with Sooyoung in the middle of us! Her room is in the second floor, right??? That’s very inconvenience! If you want me to go back with you, then make sure you’re staying on the first floor with me! Just pick any room...I have another four empty rooms there...”, she pressed the matter to him and Kris smiled, shaking his head.

“It’s troublesome when you’re being a hot stuff between two women...”, he playfully and So Eun smacked him on his chest.

“Be serious! Are you promise me or not???”, she questioned angrily to him again and Kris grinned, staring lovingly down to his wife. He pulled her waist toward him and leaned forward to kiss her again but So Eun hissed impatiently and she pushed his chest away, stopping his attempt to kiss her.

“Answer me, Kris Wu!!!”, she exclaimed to him and Kris laughed lazily.

Lee Yoo Na sat straight on her bed as her hand kept on massaging her forehead. It never stops aching since this evening and she started to feel that the world around her was spinning rapidly. Yoo Na tried to inhale, calming her breathing before she got out from the bed. She looked up on the wall clock. It was almost midnight already but nobody was home yet. Kim Bum still wasn’t get back from his office, the same went for Luhan and her parents gone for a short trip with Yoo Bi to their hometown, visiting their grandparents so only Yoo Na was left alone in the house. She knew that she needs to take some pills right now so that she could bear with her headache but her medicine had run out. Lastly, she decided to go and buy it alone at the nearby drug store. It opened for 24 hours so Yoo Na thought that she will just heading straight there before Kim Bum was back.

“Omo! Yoo Na ah...are you okay???”, Luhan greeted her once she unlocked the door and opened it. She forced a weak smile to him.

“You’re back...I’m...I’m fine...I just having headache so I wanna go and buy some medicine...get inside...Yoo Bi has not coming back yet...”, Yoo Na informed him and Luhan nodded his head. He tried to step inside but he paused and looked back to her. She was walking so slow as she left the house’s compound.

“Where is Kim Bum sshi???”, Luhan thought alone to himself before he closed the door again and ran after her. He thought about walking her to the store but Luhan immediately widened his eyes when he stopped before the road. Yoo Na was now walking with her weak steps as she crossed the road but the ache inside her brain was biting her and she can’t endure it anymore. So she ended up howling in pain and closed her eyes as she kneeled down to the road, ignoring the fact that she was still in the middle of the traffic. Luhan hastily ran to her and screamed her name.

“Yoo Na ah!!!”, he called out as he ran but he gasped in major shock when he saw a big lorry was heading fast toward her.

“Yoo Na!!!”, he yelled again and picked up his paces to reach for her. She was so weak and hurt as she never listens to his scream until the next thing that she realized was Luhan held tight on her shoulders and he supported her to stand again.

“GO AWAY!!!”, Yoo Na shivered in shock when he screamed fiercely to her and she felt Luhan pushed her body forward until she was thrown to the side of the road. As she fell down to the ground, her ears caught loud sound of a bang.

“BANGGGG!!!”, and the second thing that came to fill her sight was Luhan’s bleeding body as everyone around the road screamed in shock when they witnessed the accident between Luhan and the lorry. Yoo Na started to cry now.

“LUUUUHHAAANNN AHHH!!!”

"I was supposed to be his wedding planner, not his bride!"
