Kris sent Hyemi home and then drove both of you back home after a fun-filled day with the fangirling Hyemi.The next day Kris woke up to a text.Unknown: Can we meet up? I need to talk to you.Kris:Who are you?Unknown: Oh right..I'm Hyerim. Please come and meet me at the cafe at the hotel near your house at 6pm today.Kris: Why do i have to go? I don't want to see you anyway.Hyerim: Please..i just want to apologise and ask for another chance. I feel bad towards Chanmi..Kris: Fine.Kris arrived at the cafe at 6pm that evening."Kris! Here!", Hyerim waved.Kris walked over with a serious and cold look and sat down."Speak.", Kris said."Okay..but here have a drink first.", Hyerim pushed the cup towards him.Kris drank it and waited for Hyerim to speak."Okay..well i just wanted to apologise for posing as Chanmi..and i hope you forgive me.", Hyerim said."Yeah yeah okay. Are you done?", Kris stood up.He tried to walk out but soon felt drowsy and held onto the chair."Kris! Are you okay?", Hyerim rushed over to him. She checked to see if he was still consious."Sihun! He's knocked out! Lets go.", Hyerim signalled to her brother.They carried him up to a hotel room that they booked in advance and put him down on the bed. "Noona..i don't think this is a good idea. I mean, you just drugged him!", Sihun said."I thought you already agreed to this!", Hyerim scolded."But...noona...", Sihun whined."Just get it over with! Take his shirt off!"Sihun did as instructed and took Kris's shirt off and left him in his boxers and covered him with the sheets while Hyerim was putting on a night gown."Okay here. Use my phone to take pictures of us."Sihun took pictures of his sister in bed with Kris and let her check it. When Hyerim was satisfied, she sent Sihun back. *We shall see who will win now, Chanmi* Hyerim smirked.The next morning Kris woke up feeling drowsy. *Where am I?* He looked around the room only to find Hyerim sleeping beside him.His eyes widened and he shot out of the bed."Kris? You're awake.", Hyerim said while rubbing her eyes."What are you doing here? Why are you sleeping next to me?!""You don't remember what happened last night?""What..what happened?""Kris...you really don't remember? We...", Hyerim looked at him with a shy expression."You serious? No...that can't be." *What have i done? Why can't i remember anything?*"Yes Kris...you are responsible right? You won't just leave me like this right?""I...just leave me alone now.", Kris wore his clothes and left the room.He drove back home in his car and was worried throughout the whole journey. *What have i done to Chanmi?! What am i going to do now?* He went back and locked himself up in his room. Meanwhile Chanmi was at her office in the company going through some files. *Knock knock*"Come in!"Hyerim walked in with a smug smile."Oh! Unnie! Here have a seat. Why are you here?", you asked."Oh nothing..I just wanted to tell you that Kris is mine and not yours.""What...what are you talking about, unnie?", you were shocked."I'm saying HE.IS.MINE. He loves me. So you will never get him.""Unnie, are you joking with me? We are already engaged.", you let out a shaky laugh."No i'm not. Here, have a look", Hyerim passed you her phone.You looked at it and your eyes widened. You felt your heart breaking into a million pieces. *Kris? Why did you do this?* You handed Hyerim her phone while holding back your tears and maintaining a straight face. "Unnie, this won't affect me. As long as i know Kris truly loves me, i will never belileve you. Now, if you will leave my office.", you said with clenched jaws."Oh really? Well then just wait. Oh here, i'll send you a copy of it. I'll see you soon dongsaeng!", Hyerim left with a smile.You broke down in tears when the door closed. *Why Kris? Is it true?* You bawled as you sat in your office all alone and decided to call Hyemi.You: Hye..HyemiHyemi: Chanmi! Why are you sobbing?You: Please...come to my office now...Hyemi: Okay! I'll be right over! Wait for me okay?!You cut the line and stared into space feeling a little more relived that Hyemi will be with you in awhile."CHANMI!!", Hyemi burst through the doors.You looked up at her emotionlessly and she ran over to your side to give you a hug."What happened Chanmi? Why are you crying?", Hyemi asked as she rubbed your back."Unnie...she came over...and showed me this", you showed the picture to her.Hyemi's eyes widened and snatched the phone from you. *I'm going to kill Kris. God please let me kill this guy now*"Chanmi...i'm sorry...please stop crying", she said as she patted your back."I thought he loved me...why did he do that? I don't know why...but somehow i still trust him. It's just..seeing that picture, i couldn't take it.", you sobbed."It's okay, i understand. I'm here now, don't worry okay?" You nodded.After Hyemi met with Chanmi, she left to make her way to Kris's house. "Is Kris in today?", Hyemi asked one of the maids."Yes, he is upstairs with EXO. Just go upstairs and turn right.""Thank you.", Hyemi bowed. *With EXO huh? I'm not going to be kind even if their there. YOU.ARE.DEAD.*Hyemi went up and followed the directions given. She stoppped when she saw the whole group of them together."KRIS WU! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! DO YOU KNOW CHANMI IS BAWLING HER EYES DRY NOW?", Hyemi shouted as she shook Kris."Hyemi, calm down.", Suho tried to pull her away."NO! Do you even know what he has done? Chanmi called me sobbing and asked me to go to her office. Do you even kno how sad she is right now?", "Chanmi..she knows?", Kris looked at Hyemi."Well duh? Your so called 'lover' went to see her at the company and even showed her the picture!""WHAT?!", Sehun shouted."Do you get why i'm so angry now?!", Hyemi tried to calm down.Kris broke down and fell onto the couch clutching his head. *Chanmi knows...*"We are here because of this as well, Hyemi.", Kyungsoo said."What do we do now?", Luhan asked."Well...", Chen started."I'll leave Chanmi", Kris interrupted.Everyone turned to look at him."WHAT?! You can't do that! Are you crazy?", Hyemi said."I have no other choice. I have to take responsibility.""Do you know what Chanmi said just now? She said she still trusts you! You can't do this to her!""But...""No buts young man! Don't do it!", Hyemi scolded."Hyung, she's really scary but she really cares for Chanmi.", Kai whishpered to Luhan."Yea..seems like she got Kris thinking now.", Luhan replied.Kris sat on his bed considering if he should listen to Hyemi. *knock knock*"Kris? Do you want to eat something? You haven't eaten today", you asked."I don't want to...""Please Kris, just eat something. Let me in."Kris opened the door for you and you could see that he was tired and expressionless. "Kris...here eat this. You're so pale...", you said as you passed him some food.He took a bite and put it down."I'm so sorry Chanmi...""It's okay Kris. I trust you. I always will.""Chanmi..let's break up...""What? Kris? No...no. Don't do this! I don't care if what unnie said was true. I trust only you!""Chanmi..it will be unfair to you. Please..", Kris tried to hold you."But you told me you will be here for me! You said you will protect me! You promised!""Chanmi...""I don't care about what unnie said. I just don't want you to leave me.", you hugged him."Chanmi, i'm sorry...", he gently pushed you away.You realised that he had already made up his mind and ran back to your room with tears that were threatening to fall. *I'm sorry Chanmi..I have to do this. It's unfair for you.* Kris let out a sigh while looking at the ring on his finger.
