"Where's Nicole?" I ask Makayla snapping out of my thoughts as the car pulls into the company parking lot.

"She kinda ran out of the airport with Intak before the whole Theo thing went down," Makayla says bluntly. I glance to Theo. He's silent.

"Ah," I unbuckle my seatbelt. Zeena unbuckles hers and goes to slide out, Makayla clears her throat making us all stop.

"Zeena, you and I are actually gonna go tour a school. Rose you're gonna go get your stuff and move it to my room okay?" Makayla tilts her head back. I clench my jaw.

"Maybe," I slide out of Theo's open door. "I'll see you all later," I walk to the trunk and open it. I grab my bag and head to the dorm entrance. I walk inside and head straight to Theo and I's room. I set my bag down and shift, not wanting to sit but also not wanting to stand. The door creaks open and I glance behind me. Theo walks past me and sets his bag down. "Can you explain now?" I ask him, not wanting to make any big moves.

"Explain what?" Theo turns to me.

"Why all of a sudden you're acting like this? It seems quite sudden and honestly I'm really confused," I can't process my feelings. I feel more angry than anything. Theo walks past me again and to the door. He shuts it.

"Come here," Theo says behind me, I feel his hand on my arm, I slap his hand off of me.

"You're confusing me," I say and turn to him.

"Suho," he says quietly.

"What does he have to do with this?" My voice is loud.

"During the flight," Theo leans against the door with his hands behind his back. "He told me that if I didn't separate myself from you, he would fire you."

"He can't do that," I start to laugh, nerves racking my body.

"He said fire you or expose our relationship," he moves his hands and uses them to put quotations around relationship. "I don't want you to be in danger, or lose your job over me."

"That's a violation of so many things though," I cock my head. "Also why didn't you just explain this in the car?"

"I don't know who could be listening. So it's best if I just comply with him until I can get enough stuff to bring to his superiors," Theo shifts.

"Where is he right now?" I ask Theo. "I've had enough of this creep," I blink my eyes, my head is spinning.

"He's actually in a meeting I think, with those superiors," Theo shakes his head. "Why?"

"Give me your phone," I stick out my hand. Theo furrows his brows.

"Rose," Theo lifts up from the door frame.

"Phone," I clench my jaw and stare at Theo, unblinking.

"Rose this isn't like you, calm down," Theo steps to me. I step back, seeing his phone in his hand.

"I really don't think you know me then," I walk to Theo and grab his hand that has his phone gently, rubbing his hand to make it seem like I'm not about to grab it.

"I do know you, and I know you wouldn't do something stupid," Theo places his free hand on the side of my face. I shut my eyes.

"Sorry Taeyang," I whisper and take his phone with my other hand. I push him to the side then swing the door open to the dorm room and start running.

"Rose!" Theo screams after me, I hear his heavy footsteps.

"Stop him!" I say as I pass Soul.

"What?" Soul calls after me, then I hear Theo yelling at Soul to move. I run out of the front doors and squint at the sun. I bolt to the main company building, where they hold all the important meetings. I grip Theo's phone to my chest and burst inside. My eyes graze to the two double doors that are shut. Suho is nothing more than a bully, and while I'm hype on adrenaline I want to destroy him. I walk to the double doors and open them. Ten men all look up from their papers. Suho stands up from his chair.

"Rose you can't be here, not right now," Suho says in a low voice.

"Oh but I can," I say slightly out of breath. "I request Suhos immediate termination," I take a swallow of my spit. One of the men clears his throat.

"You interrupted just that actually," the man clicks his pen. "He's being fired."

"Sir.." Suho sits down, almost in defeat.

"Oh," I stand there awkwardly, not knowing what to do. I didn't properly look at all the men in the room, my adrenaline was too high. I glance over everyone and see a familiar face. "Jorge?" I whisper. He smiles at me.

"Ah so you know Jorge?" The man asks.

"Yes," I glance back to the man speaking.

"Good good, he's taking Suhos place," I raise my eyebrows.

"Oh," I say again. "That's cool, um, I'm sorry for disturbing you all," I give an apology bow and step back to the door. "Bye," I open the doors and walk out. I look back at the now shut doors and purse my lips together. "Wack," I mutter to myself and walk out of the building, only to see Theo running up to me, he looks pissed.

"Why the fuck did you do that?" Theo grabs his phone. "You couldve gotten fired!"

"Like Suho?" I push passed him and cross my arms.

"What?" Theo is walking behind me.

"He's getting fired. I walked in as they were doing it I guess," I kick a rock with my foot. "So."

"Okay well, still that was a dumb move you just did," Theo is now by my side. "But I guess then that settles my issue."

"Does it?" I walk into the dorm building.

"I mean yeah," Theo and I walk back into our room. He shuts the door. "We're safe."

"You would rather just give me up then fight?" I turn to Theo, trying to stay as serious as possible.

"Rose I.." Theo slides his phone into his pocket.

"You've been saying my name quite a lot today," I stick my hands in my pocket.

"What? Would you rather me call you babe?" Theo mutters.

"That has a ring to it," I sit down on the bed.

"Seriously, are you mad at me?" He walks and sits down by me.

"No, not at all. I'm just messing with you," I take off my shoes. "I know you were just looking out for me. Thank you for that," I slide my shoes to the side.

"Can I kiss you?" Theo's hand moves to my leg. I freeze.

"Maybe I am a little mad," I say with a small smile, my voice slightly wavering.

"Oh shut up," Theo puts his hand under my thigh, lifting my leg onto his. "Can I though?"

"I don't know, can you?" I tilt my head at him.

"I literally hate you," Theo says before leaning placing his lips on mine.
