Promises Are Just Words
''She's not that kind of girl, Jess. She's different.'' Kris protested with an angry tone of his voice. He then got out of the car and slammed the door, leaving Jessica inside.
Slowly, he walked towards Jinah's car. Drops of water drizzled onto Kris' skin as he knocked on the window.
''Why are you here?'' Jinah yelled in surprise as she rolled down her car's window, allowing access to talk to him. When Kris was about to reply back, the vibration of Jinah's phone tickled her skin. She took it out of her pocket to see who was calling her.
''Kian calling ...'' The screen showed.
Jinah swallowed. Rain was pouring, road was closed and mosr specially, Kris who can easily see anxiety written all over her face, was just a few centimeters away from her. Luhan looked at the two. *This two is messed up.* He thought. He coughed to break the silence as Jinah just stared at her phone, not knowing what to do with it.

''Ugh where can we actually stay? We've been going around this place for almost two hours and a half.'' Luhan complained.
''Go and tell your secretary to get a helicopter for us then.'' Jinah replied, rolling her eyes until she noticed a sign board advertisement.
