Kai brought you walked into a black car, you frowned as you saw it and looked at him suspiciously, “Is this your car?” You asked.
Kai smiled a little and then opened the door for you, “Get in, I’ll explain everything to you.”
You looked at him briefly and get into his car, he closed the door as a gentlemen and sat on the steering wheel. He started his car and you were on the way to Yeji’s house. Both of you are silent, you don’t even know if he could drive a car. You turned to him, waiting for him to speak.
He cleared his throat and began to speak, “This is Jonghee noona’s car,” You mouthed an ‘o’ as you nodded in understanding. He continued, “The reason why I joined the stupid gang because of Jonghee noona and her boyfriend. More precisely, her boyfriend.”
Your eyes widened, “Her boyfriend?” He nodded and continued his story, “He is indebted to the boss of the gang, with a high number. Jonghee noona loves him very much, that’s why Jonghee noona helps him to pay his debts.”
“Then why were you joining?” You raised an eyebrow, still don’t understand what he said. “Their boss interested in me, he said if I wanted to join their gang, then he will repay a portion of that debt.” He said, You can see the anger in his face. “At first I refused, Jonghee noona also didn’t want me to join them. But, they continued to harras me or Jonghee noona. Even they didn’t hesitate to beat up Jonghee noona’s boyfriend…”
Kai stopped his story, he is like late in his grief. You feel so stupid, you don’t even know anything about his problem. He looks miserable and you, as his girlfriend and someone that closest to him not know anything.
“Then… What happened to Jonghee unnie and her boyfriend?” You asked softly.
“It has been three months, Jonghee noona and her boyfriend worked in Daebudo. They’re fine, they often call me.” Kai smiled a little. You tiled your head, searched his eyes, “Do your parents know about this?”
He paused and slowly shook his head, “No, they don’t know. If they know, I don’t know what will happen…”
You feel guilty about it, he has a serious problem like this and you never know. With a trembling voice you said, “Why don’t you ever tell me?”
He pulled up to the curb. He turned to you and searched your eyes, tears began to drip on your face. He raised your face and make both of you looked at each other, “If I tell you, you must be worried about me…. I know you’re tired of hearing I always say this to you but this time, I really am sorry.” He said.
You shook your head and suddenly put your hand around his neck, “Get out of the gang, don’t endanger yourself, Kai. I’ll help you… I promise…” You whispered in his ear.
He smiled a little and hugged you, “I’m going to change, I promise I will never disappoint you again… Would you come back to me again?”
You nodded as you sobbed, “Of course, Of course I would…” He pulled his body and stared at your lips, gently he kissed yours deeply. He pulled himself and looked at you. Smiling, he stroked your cheek, “You are very special for me, Kim Jiwoo.”

“Perhaps soon…” Baekhyun said, glancing at his watch and then put his hands in his pockets.
“Jiwoo will come with Chanyeol, right?” Sungji asked. She found Kai’s friends but didn’t see Kai there.
