Wonwoo's POV:

She walked closer. The time seems to stop as the people around me slowed down.

"Nice to meet you." she said.

My eyes didn't look anywhere but glued at her.

"Wonwoo?" I looked at my side when Mr. Lee called me.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Meet my daughter." Mr. Lee proudly presents his daughter.

It's not her.

I looked around my surroundings, trying to find Mina and yes, I saw her. She's walking in the other direction.

"This is Son Naeun. She's not related to me. She's my adopted daughter but we are really close." I heard the voice of Mr. Lee.

"Let's sit." I followed his order but my gaze was still on hers.

"Meet Wonwoo, Naeun. The son of Mr. Jeon."

"Hello?" Naeun disturbed me and held her hand up.

"Hi." I said, coldly. I just rejected her offer.

She then smiled faintly.

My eyes looked at the other girl again. She's now having a conversation with a man. What is she doing?

"Mr. Jeon, what do you think? Are you ready to get to know her?" Mr. Lee made me look at him.

"I can't." I sternly said while looking at him straight in his eyes.

"Why?" he asked.

I stayed quiet for a moment.

"Why?" he asked again.

I'm trying to find a reason why. I can't let them know that I don't have any ideas left. I need to get out of this situation.

"Because,"

They anticipated. They waited for my answer.

"Because what?"

"I..."

"I have a girlfriend."

I stood up from my seat. I went to the person who I laid my eyes earlier. I then grabbed her wrist.

"Wonwoo? What are you doing-"

I cut her off when I took her with me.

"This is my girlfriend." I put my arm around her shoulder as she froze from her spot.

The two looked at me, with pure shock.

"How about let's cut off the deal. Just come back when I don't have one." I bowed at them as a sign of leaving. We then walked out from the venue, leaving them behind.

We reached my car and we went inside. Silence engulfed the small space, making things awkward.

"It's not true is it?" she asked out of the blue.

"Of course." I maintained my usual, cold, tone.

"What do you want from me?" she slowly turned her head to look at me.

"Be my girlfriend."

Her faced turned into a complete shock.

"I was arranged in a marriage. I don't want to marry her, nor anyone else." I coldy said.

"There are tons of girls that you can play with." her face looked serious but her eyes are filled with sadness.

"It makes more sense because we had a past remember?" my mouth suddenly recalled it. That dang past.

She looked down. I can tell that she's close to crying.

"After this, I'll promise to leave you alone. You'll be free Mina. I won't bother you anymore." she looked at me for one last time.

"Okay."

Mingyu's POV:

"Yah! Are you okay?" I snapped my fingers in front of my sister. She's spacing out for an hour now.

"W-what? Y-yeah I'm okay." she shook her head.

"Do you have a problem?"

"N-no. I don't." she faint a smile.

"I'll go to bed now. Goodnight." she then found her way to the stairs and went up to her room.

She's weird. Eh, that's normal.

*Buzz!*

My phone buzzed out of nowhere and I checked it.

I need your help right now. It's Tzuyu.
10:06 p.m

Eh? How did she get my number?

Where are you?
sent.

At the office.
10:07 p.m.

Okay. I'll be right there.
sent.

I immediately grabbed my coat and took the bus. The airport is kinda far but gladly, I arrived.

The airport is still busy, it's lively even if it's already night. I ran through the escalator and made my way up to the second floor. I was in a rush, not minding the people around me.

I opened the door of her office. I didn't see her around.

"Ms. Chou?" I called her but she didn't respond.

"Tzuyu?" I called for the second time.

"Help!" I heard a small voice coming from a cabinet.

"Tzuyu!" I immediately ran towards it. The cabinet was stuck and I can't open it.

"Hang in there!" I said as I give every force that I can to open the cabinet. My hands started to get red as my veins are already showing.

"Shoot! I broke the handle!" I started to panick.

"Please hurry! I can't breathe." her voice is already weak as I feel her suffering inside. I looked around and I saw the fire extinguisher.

"Duck and cover your head!" I shouted and I heard her sliding down.

"I'm already doing it." she tried her best to talk in a loud voice.

Without second thoughts, I hit the upper part of the cabinet with the fire extinguisher. It slowly fell into pieces, creating a whole that is enough for me to open it.

"Tzuyu." I bent down and her head instanly fell on my chest. She's holding her phone really tight as she breathes continously.

I put my arms around her shoulder for support. She suddenly hugged my waist. She's closing her eyes while she's adjusting her breathing.



"I'm sorry, I'm late."

Happy April fools. Hahah. Heto pala yung feeling kapag nanloko. I'm sorry if my updates are slow. Please understand that I'm still a student. Just one week left and then I'll be free. Thank you so much!
