Chapter Twenty-Six: Chain (1/1)
It's been five months since the mademoiselle named Claire Evangeline Capulet left Korea. The group maintained to keep in touch with Claire for two months. "It's been three months since Claire e-mailed us, I wonder what happened there." Alice thought as she wiped the tables in the coffee shop she was working at. After wiping the tables, she started to mop the floor. "Alice-sshi! Alice-sshi!" Her workmate called her. "Your phone is ringing!" "Huh?" Alice went to their locker room to check her phone. "E.... Li?" She answered it. "Yes?" "I checked your e-mails and Evo e-mailed you." "What did he say? ... Eh? ... Okay, okay, I'm going to wait here." and then Alice hung up. "Who is it?" her workmate asked. "My boyfriend. I need to leave." "Eh?" .*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. Few minutes later, "I'm .. Here .." Alice read Eli's text to her. "Ma'am, I'm going to leave now. Thanks again." Alice smiled to her boss. Her boss was very kind to her. She even treated Alice as her own daughter. Well, she treated all of her staffs as her own daughters and sons but, Alice receives special treatment. "No problem, dear. Just take care~" Her boss replied. Alice went outside and looked for Eli. "Alice!" Eli waved his hands outside the car’s window so Alice will notice him. Alice went close to the car. “It’s not the company ca…” She stopped talking when she saw who was on the driver’s seat. “Kibum-sshi?” “Well, we’re able to leave the dormitory without telling hyung.” Eli explained. Alice sighed and went inside the car and then they left. “Where are the others?” Alice asked. “They have individual schedules. Only the two of us were left in the house.” Kibum explained. “Oh, I see…” Alice looked outside of the car’s window and became quiet. “Ne Alice ..” Eli called her. Alice showed that she was listening to him. “Who’s Elizabeth, by the way?” Alice was surprised because of what Eli asked. “Where did you get that name?” “It’s on the e-mail Evo sent you. He said Elizabeth is with him.” Alice gulped. She became worried because of it. “Elizabeth … She’s Evo's fiancée.” Alice statement made Eli and Kibum quite surprised. .*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. And so, Alice, Eli and Kibum finally arrived at the airport. “What did Evo say on the e-mail?” Alice asked Eli. “He said they’ll be here around this time.” “Did he indicate where we’re going to meet them?” Eli shook his head. “Then, let’s split up and look for them.” Kibum suggested. “Okay. If any of us see Evo around, call the other two.” Alice told them and then they started to look for the couple. Few minutes had passed; Kibum and Eli received a message from Alice. “I found them. Meet us at the parking lot.”The two immediately went to the parking lot to meet them. “Hurry up!” Alice shouted to them as she saw the two gentlemen. Eli ran to them while Kibum suddenly stopped. “C—Claire?” He thought. “Kiubm-sshi!” Alice called him. “Oh!” Kibum ran to them so they can leave already. .*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*. They went back to the dormitory. In the dormitory, Evo formally introduced Kibum and Eli to Elizabeth.“So, this is Kim Eli and Kim Kibum.” Then, Kibum and Eli greeted her by the way U-KISS greets as a group. There were no problems in terms of communications because Elizabeth knew how to speak in Korean. “Nice meeting you. I’m Louisa Marie Elizabeth Capulet, Evo’s bride.” Elizabeth bowed to them and smiled. “Wait. What do you mean? I mean, you two are getting married?” Alice asked Evo and Elizabeth. Evo avoided Alice’s stare while Elizabeth slowly nodded. “But, that’s not the main reason why we’re here. Well, that’s one of the reasons.” Elizabeth explained. “I’ll let you pass this time, Evo.” Alice told him. Eli and Alice prepared something for their visitors while Kibum entertained the visitors. Then, Elizabeth noticed something. “Can I ask you something?” She asked Kibum. “Yes, what is it?” “Is there something special between Alice and Eli-sshi?” “Hey!” Evo reacted. “What are you thinking?” Evo asked Elizabeth. “Shut up, Evo. And don’t ‘hey’ me, I’m your ‘noona’.” And then Elizabeth came back to Kibum. “So, Eli is Alice’s boyfriend, right?” “Uhmm … Ye—” Kibum stopped talking because Eli and Alice came. “Elizabeth-eonni, what are asking Kibum?” Alice immediately asked. “Oh … Nothing ..” Elizabeth looked at Eli and smirked. “Eonni, please behave.” “I am.” “You’re not.” Alice sighed. Then, she and Eli served the food. “By the way, what brought you two here?” Alice asked. “How’s Claire in France?” Evo looked at Elizabeth who suddenly frowned after Alice asked about Claire and the atmosphere became worse. “What’s wrong?” Kibum asked. “Claire … she’s in trouble.” Elizabeth looked on the ground to avoid everyone’s eyes. “What do you mean by ‘she’s in trouble, eonni?” Elizabeth gulped. “She will be engaged on the day of our wedding.” The three’s eyes suddenly widened. “That’s why I’m here, to ask for your help. I know Claire is suffering a lot because of my mother.” Then, tears fell from Elizabeth’s eyes. “I hope you’ll be able to help me.”
