CL

"How do you know where I live?" I ask Jessica.

"I tracked Kris' phone!" She responds with sarcastic cheer.

*Creep, much?* I thought.

"Jessica, I've moved on!" Kris cries. "There's nothing you can do about it."

Jessica smirks. "But there is."

"I don't think so," Kris replies.

"I'm dating GD now," Jessica says, giving me an evil stare.

I could feel Kris' eyes burning through me. I did hesitate, after all. "So?" I say.

"So, he's mine. Just thought I'd inform you on that." Jessica smiles devilishly.

*Kris liked this girl once?* I thought.

"Prove it," Kris demands, stiff as a statue.

For a second, I see panic in Jessica's eyes. She pulls out her phone and calls GD. "Oppa! It's me! I've missed you so much!!"

"Wha..." GD says. "Oh, yeah! I've missed you too!"

I glared at Jessica with a blank expression. "Give it up, GD. We know you guys aren't together."

Jessica snarled. "We are t--"

"Yeah, you're right, CL. Sorry," GD cuts her off. I was we'll aware GD still had feelings for me, but just like Kris, I've moved on.

Jessica frowns with anger and hangs up. She lets out a long breath through her nostrils. "I'll be going now. Expect me back--sooner or later."

"Why did you come here in the first place?" Kris ordered.

"Easy! So I could brag about it to CL's face," Jessica explains as if I weren't there.

"Way to be blunt..." Kris mutters.

As Jessica walks down the walkway, I grab Kris' wrist and run down to catch up to her. "Oh, yeah, one more thing, Jessica!" I call.

Jessica spins around. "What?!"

I grabbed Kris' face and kissed his lips. I could sense Jessica's jealousy. "Kris and I are together now," I announce when we brake apart.

Jessica's fists were at her sides. "I'll get you. I'll get you both!"

Just like that, she was gone.

"Glad that's over!" Kris mutters.

"Agreed," I replied. "Should we... Go back inside?"

Kris smirked. "Why not?" He winked, giving me butterflies.

KRIS

Ever since Jessica threatened CL and I like that, I haven't been able to shake it off. She seemed serious. Besides, I know Jessica's ways. In the end, she always gets what she wants.

Then again, so does CL. But not in that way.

I actually like it when CL has it her way. Because it somehow ends up my way, too.

Don't understand? Let me explain.

Ever since that night I stayed over at CL's, I really couldn't get her out of my head. I guess she couldn't get me out of hers, either.

It felt like almost everyday is get a call or text from CL. Not that she's overprotective or doesn't trust me--believe me, after what she's told me, I'm pretty sure she does--she simply wants to get away from everything. With all her Dara-drama going on and keeping our relationship a secret, it's been hard on CL. For me, as well.

"KRISSSS!!!" CL would whine in the phone.

"WHAAAAAT?" I would reply with the same tone.

"I wanna be alone with you. Can you make me feel better...?" She'd beg in that same seductive voice she used on me that morning we got... Well... "close."

And as usual, I would sigh and say "Fine. Meet me at the club."

So, every Friday after the Mnet Countdown, we met up at the club. Of course, the first three weeks we did it, paparazzi mobbed us. Asking us questions. Whether it was my "rumored" relationship with CL or the night Jaehyo her, we were constantly questioned. And we constantly left then unanswered.

It wasn't up until recently CL said she wanted to stop what she was doing.

"Kris..." She said to me.

"Hmm...?" I hummed as I kissed her neck.

"I think we should stop..." CL moaned.

I paused. "Why?"

"I haven't been feeling well at all," she explains. "I haven't been myself. My performances aren't as strong. And Bom and Minzy are..." CL groaned my fingers gracefully touched her . "...Starting to worry..."

"Well, tell them they shouldn't. You're fine," I replied flatly, grinning.

"I'm serious!" CL gently hit my shoulder, giggling. "It's okay if we do this every once in a while, but all the time... I guess it's a little but too much. I just hope you understand." She gave me a look that told me she was right.

I nodded and rested my chin on her chest. "Okay."

Once we got dressed, CL held onto her lower abdomen. Her stomach was a little bloated and her shoulders were slouched. CL hardly had any color on her face, with her eyes drooping. She pretty much looked like she was going to hurl.

We had gone a but fast that day...

"I'm okay," CL mumbled, holding my shoulder for support. It was like she read my mind.

"No, you're not," I replied harshly. "Do you want me to buy you something from the candy store?" After getting to know her more, I knew candy always helped CL cheer up.

Surprisingly, CL shook her head softly. "I'm okay," she repeated.

I sighed heavily, not giving up. "Ottogi or Orion?"

CL's eyes shot up and widened. "Ottogi sounds nice..."

"The usual?" I asked.

"Of course." CL gave a light smile and gently squeezed my hand.

I peeked out the door to make sure no one was around to see us leave the private room together. Last thing I'd want is to not only have people find out we're together, but to also learn we've been having some special time away from the world.

CL slipped on her sunglasses and made a tiny wobble out of the room with me as I put mine on. I flipped my hoodie over my head and CL strapped a mask to . You'd think we'd be easy to notice, but that's definitely not the case. People at the club get too drunk off alcohol and they don't care about the rest of the world around them. Which I guess it was good for CL and me.

When we arrived to the candy store, CL could walk without limping. She still looked very weary and ill. We kept our faces covered but this time with our heads down, knowing we'd get noticed.

After I bought the candy for CL--and some for everyone back at the dorm--I took her home. Her phone was exploding with texts from Minzy and mainly Bom; even a few occasional texts from Dara.

"Get better soon, okay?" I told CL softly.

CL nodded. "I'll let you know when I feel better," her groggy voice said. She kissed me and quickly ran on her toes to the front door.

When I returned to my dorms, all the other eleven members of EXO were sitting in the living room, looking serious.

*I'm screwed,* I thought.

"Where have you been?" Luhan asked with concern.

"I've been out," I replied.

"Doing what?" Xiumin demanded.

"Buying candy." Being prepared, I tossed each member their favorite candy. Tao's face lit up, but his expression disappeared when he saw how serious everyone else still was.

"What's the occasion?" Chen asked.

I shrugged. "Just thought I'd... I don't know. We've been working hard. We deserve it."

Sehun rolled his eyes as Chanyeol asked "What's the real reason you have this stuff for us?"

I sighed in desperation and explained how I've been meeting CL at the club every Friday. I didn't mention what we do, though.

"We already knew about you and CL," Baekhyun stated.

"Um... What?" I raised my eyebrow at Xiumin, Luhan, and Tao. Xiumin glared at Baekhyun, who shrugged. Luhan smacked his forehead. Tao looked down, chewing on his chocolate bar.

"Tao told us--" Kai began, but Tao threw the rest of his chocolate at his head. Kai winced in pain, yelling "REALLY?!"

Tao's eyes widened as he pulled his knees to his chest. "Please don't kill me..." He murmured.

"Wait, you we still don't know why you bought the candy," Suho pointed out.

"I'm not complaining..." D.O. muttered.

I ignored his comment. "So... You didn't want the candy?" I asked Suho.

"No no no! I appreciated that you got it for all of us," Suho defended himself, holding the candy close.

"We just would like to know WHY you brought home this stuff," Sehun explained. "I mean, we know about you and CL and going to the club every Friday, but ou just randomly decided to go get candy?"

I quickly came up with a lie. "CL was sick."

"Wow!" Chen exclaimed. "That's definitely something a BOYFRIEND would do!" He snickered.

"Well, we obviously know that they're dating, dummy," Lay muttered.

I sighed. "Okay, so now you know the big secret. Happy now?"

"VERY!" Tao shouted as he retrieved his chocolate bar, not paying attention to what I actually said.

I went up to my room, but was stopped by Xiumin and Luhan halfway up. "You know we didn't tell Tao about you and CL, right?" Xiumin asked innocently.

"I know. He heard me on the phone with her and figured it out," I told him. "When did he tell everyone?"

"About two weeks ago," Luhan explained, "we were having dinner. Lay asked where you kept going and Tao said you were at the club. When Chen asked why, Tao just wouldn't shut up till Xiumin smacked the back of his head."

"And you won't believe what he said!" Xiumin exclaimed. "He said 'How did YOU find out?!'"

I in a breath. "As long as the media and our manager don't find out, I really don't care who else figures it out."

Luhan scrunched his eyebrows. "You sure about that?"

I nodded. "Yeah. I don't even care if Kai tells Taemin at this point."

Xiumin's eyes widened. "Really now?"

"Mmhmm," I responded. "I'm going to bed. I'm too tired."

Equally as tired, Luhan says "Goodnight, sleepyhead!"

Once I threw myself into bed, all I could think about was CL.

What if she's sick?

What if I did this to her?

What if she's preg--?

No. Too far.

---------------------------------------

AUTHOR'S NOTE: OMG! It's a new chapter! After what, 37474728288848 years? Nah, just kidding. I'm exaggerating. ;)

Idk if I mentioned this in the last chapter, but I went to Washington, DC for four days. Lemme just say it felt like my friends and I were babysitting this one girl we were forced to room with. Not only does she not have a cell phone and kept running off, but she also interrupts people and lies!

"Hi, I'm (insert name here), and I have a $2,000 straightener and can speak 10 different languages!" -_-

Really?

Anyway, more about EXO...

Kris... :(

For those of you that might not know, Kris recently filed a lawsuit against SM. I've heard two different things--either something about a "slave contract" or he has heart problems. :'( I guess that Kris technically isn't part of EXO anymore, or at least until this lawsuit business stuff is over. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but I've heard some even weirder stuff.

Netizens want YG to adopt EXO.

Keep in mind, these are NETIZENS we're talking about. And they want SM's biggest rival to re-debut EXO. The chances of this happening are slim to nothing. So don't worry, EXO should stay under SM.

I am not saying that all of this is true, but I am saying these are all things I've read online and rumors being spread. It has been confirmed that Kris DID file a lawsuit, but what it's about is not. I think it has also been confirmed that Kris won't be promoting with EXO-M until this craziness is over with. What are your thoughts on it? What have you heard?

Back to the story, I hope things aren't confusing. This chapter was kind of a blur for me since I haven't written in a long time. What else does Jessica have in store for CL and Kris? Is CL sick? Will Kris and CL's relationship be revealed to the public? Find out next time!!! :D
