When Claire, Kibum and Kevin arrived at the dormitory, U-Kiss' manager immediately approached them. "Where have you been?!" he asked them and showed them a mad expression. "I'm sorry, it’s my fault." Claire told him. "I want to talk to you Claire. Just the two of us." then Claire nodded and followed him. Kibum and Kevin were unable to do anything. They knew that if they interrupt their manager, it will cause more trouble. xXxXx
Claire and the U-Kiss' manager went to the coffee shop near the dormitory. "Manager-oppa, Angeline went here, am I right?" Claire immediately asked. The manager nodded. "She was looking for you awhile ago. But, what I want to talk to you is what your sister brought to us." then he showed some pictures taken by a stalker. "What's this?" then Claire's eyes widened because of what she saw. "Pictures of Kibum, Kevin, Kiseop ....... and me?" "Your sister said that someone sent these to her." Claire sighed. "It’s not those guys’ stalker, it’s mine." Claire said. "Do you know where she is?" "She went to the office. She’s now talking to our C.E.O." he told her. Claire eyes opened wide. She was surprised with what the manager said. "She's already there?!" She immediately stood up and decided to leave, but "Claire, please do take care." he told her. Claire looked back at him and gave him a bow. And then, she left. xXxXx Claire went to N.H. Media's office, but the guards at the main door stopped her. "Let me go! Let me go!" Claire protested. "But you're not allowed here." the guards told her. "Let me go!" Claire protested again. "Let her go." a lady from behind commanded. The guards let go of Claire. "Miss Claire, thank you for coming here." that lady told Claire. "The C.E.O wants to talk to you." "Where's my sister? Where's Angeline?" "She already left." "Okay." and then Claire left again. The lady wasn't able to stop her. The lady sighed and picked up her ringing phone. "Like what you said, she is really hard to handle." she said. xXxXx
Outside, “Alice, where's Angeline?" Claire called her best friend to trace Angeline. Alice gave the exact location. Claire went to that location and she found her sister sitting in her own car. Angeline noticed Claire and went out of the car. "We finally met again, Claire Evangeline." she told her. Claire went closer to her. "What do you want from me?" "Hmm... Nothing." "Then why are you here?!" Claire started to be harsh. "Have you forgotten what day it is?" Angeline walked beside Claire and stopped behind her. "You have to go back." Angeline whispered. "I know that." "Then, starting today, you’re going to stay with me for two nights. On the third day, you're going to go back to France with me." Angeline stated. "I don't want to!" "You don't want? Have you seen these photos?" Angeline threw some photos to Claire. "See those? Once mother sent those to the Korean media, you know what may happen, right?" Angeline told Claire. Claire wasn't able to say anything back. She knew what might happen to those guys. "Claire Evangeline..." Angeline hugged Claire. "...I told you, you won't be able to escape us." Claire's tears flowed down. Angeline released Claire. "I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning at your dormitory. Pack up all your things today." and then Angeline left. xXxXx
After a few minutes, Claire was able to go back to the dormitory. As she entered the lobby of the dormitory, she saw Alice waiting for her. "Alice. . .” Claire stopped walking and she started to cry again. Alice went closer to her. "Angeline called me. You're going to live with her starting tomorrow and then you're going to leave three days from now." Claire nodded. "You're leaving?" a man behind them said. "Kibum-ssi ..." Alice said. "So, is it true that you're leaving?" Kibum repeated. Claire avoided Kibum's eyes but she nodded. "Oh? Hyung, what's up here?" Now this time, Kevin came. No one answered him. "Hmm ... Kevin ..." Alice started. "Hmm?" then Kevin smiled innocently. "C-c-Claire is--" Claire held Alice hand tight and looked at her like she was begging Alice not to tell Kevin. Kibum sighed deeply. He faced Kevin and gave him a serious look. "Kevin, Claire is leaving." "What do you mean hyung?" "She's going to live ... away from us." "Eh?" and then Kevin looked at Claire. "Claire, what's up?" "I'm leaving tomorrow morning. After three days, I’m going back to ..." she wasn't able to finish her words because Kevin suddenly spoke up. "You can't leave." He told her. "Kevin, it for your own g--" "No!" then Kevin walked out. "Kevin!" the three said. Claire followed him. Kibum tried to follow too but Alice stopped him. xXxXx
Claire followed Kevin wherever he went. After a few minutes of running, they stopped at the park. "Finally *pant* you stop *pant* running *pant*" Claire told him as she tried to control her breathing. Kevin was surprised that Claire followed him. He went closer to her to check her condition. "Why did you follow me? You know it's bad for your health to run too much." Kevin said. Finally, Claire breathed normally again. "Are you stupid? Do you think I’ll let you go like that?" Kevin didn't answer her and remained silent. Claire sighed. "Let's go back." Claire reached out to Kevin's hand but Kevin moved away. "I won't." Kevin said. "Kevin!" Claire exclaimed. "I won't go unless you'll tell me you won't leave." and then Kevin gave her a serious look. "I have to, Kevin." Claire avoided his eyes. "I have to." "What do you mean 'I have to'?! You can't leave just like that!" Kevin said angrily. "What about us?! What about me?!" Claire touched Kevin's cheeks and finally looked into his eyes. "But, I’m doing this for your safety. If I stay here any longer, I might destroy everyone’s dreams, including yours." Kevin placed his hand on her left cheek. "Then, I’ll give up my d--" "No! Don't waste your dream, Kevin. U-Kiss is your life." Kevin removed her hands on his cheeks and then he held it tight. "Claire, I love you." He confessed. Claire didn't react and just looked at him until Kevin’s face came closer to hers. Kevin tried to kiss her but he stopped because Claire's tears suddenly fell. "Kevin, it’s no use." and then, Claire left Kevin. xXxXx
"I'm so stupid. Why did I let these tears fall?" Claire kept on running until she saw Kibum waiting for her. "What happened?" Kibum asked the teary-eyed Claire. "Nothing oppa." Claire avoided Kibum's eyes. Kibum sighed. "I already knew it. Kevin made you cry." "No! Its no--" Claire wasn't able to finish her sentence because Kibum hugged her. "I'm still holding onto you. I won't give up easily." Kibum told her.
