She saw Lisa waiting at the staircase the moment she stepped out of the corridor .

He turned around when he heard the sound of footsteps, glancing at her as he extended his arm towards her .

She looked down as she went down the staircase, going straight towards him without any hesitation . He put his arms over her shoulders as she went near him . "Let's go back . It's late . "

She nodded, but after a while, she added, "I don't think you ate anything . Aren't you hungry?"

"I'll go back and cook something," he replied quietly .

"Actually, I wanted to say that I'm not exactly full as well..."

When Kai chased after her, he saw Lisa walking along with her under the dim street lights . Ryujin had already opened the car door without them needing to tell him .

The car started moving through the night while the banquet still went on inside . The lights by the entrance shone in his eyes and the night breeze not only messed up his collar, but it also rifled his emotions as well .

"Kai..."

After some time, suddenly Krystal's voice reached him from behind, Kai turned around and realized that she was standing right behind him without him noticing .

"Why are you here? It's cold outside..."

Krystal was concerned about Kai, her pretty little face still appearing a little sickly .

Kai glanced at her with a complicated gaze . After a while, he went down the stairs . "Get into the car . I'll send you back . "

"Kai, can you stay with me tonight?" Krystal caught up with him and grabbed his hand . "I'm... a little sad..."

Naturally, he knew that it was about Jennie and what happened just now . Many people must have seen that and some people even started discussing it, especially after Lisa said something like that . Most of them had thrown odd glances at Krystal and she only managed to get out by giving an excuse of going to the washroom .

"I want some quiet time alone . Let me send you back to West Park," Kai replied quietly . Krystal's face turned even paler as her whole body shivered in shock at Kai's reply .

It was the first time he had ever declined for her to stay over at his place .

"Kai, what's wrong?" She confronted him in shock .

Kai took a deep breath as he looked at Krystal before him, Jennie's voice echoing in his ear .

He could not bear to see Krystal's morose face as she tried to hide her pain . He then said, "I'm a little tired . I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Krystal went forward and hugged him tightly . Her gentle voice was filled with unease . "Kai, don't reject me... You know, I really need you right now . I'm really sad..."

Kai looked downwards at the sallow Krystal quietly . He could not bear to reject her and he nodded, dragging her away and taking his car keys out from his pocket as he walked towards the car .

Krystal smiled and went along with him, gently holding onto Kai's hand...

It was around 9 p . m . when they arrived at home .

Kai took off his coat and tie as he walked into the bathroom in his bedroom . Krystal sat on the bedside, about to make a call back to West Park . However, her phone rang when she just took it out . Her eyes turned cold when she saw the number and she went out onto the balcony .

She picked up the call swiftly . "Hello? How's that matter?"

"I've sent the documents to your private email . Take a look at it . " The cold voice hung up on her after a short reply .

Krystal frowned and stared at her phone . After a short silence, she deleted the number and went back into the room .

She was tired after a long day . She left her phone on the bedside drawer and just as she was about to look for some clothes, she accidentally saw a glass jar full of stars in a corner...

She was bewildered for a moment as memories flashed back in her mind .

If she was not mistaken, this was Jennie's birthday present to Kai back then!

This was supposed to be on the bookshelf . Kai had placed it on the table when he was rearranging the bookshelf, so why did it change places? And was the jar different now?

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, each one of them giving her a grave sense of unease . Her hands clenched up and she just stared at the glass jar without moving an inch .

After some time, she came back to her senses when she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening . She peeped over . "Kai, are you done already?"

"It's your turn," Kai replied her as he sat down on one side of the bed wearily .

Krystal got up and went into the bathroom .

After she was done, Kai was already lying down on the bed .

Krystal uncovered the comforter and went in, snuggling beside Kai and suggestively touching his waist as she asked him gently, "Kai, I've decided on your engagement gift . Do you still want it?"

A refreshing aroma reached his nostrils . Kai opened his eyes and Krystal's pretty little face was right before him . A seductive charm rose from her gentle-looking eyes as she kissed him before he could reply .

For a brief moment, that familiar void came back to him . He was anxious to look for something to fill it up and his eyes started to go blurry when he looked at Krystal in front of him .

"Of course . " He grabbed Krystal and turned her around, reversing their positions . He watched Krystal below him quietly while a voice came from his mind clearly .

The woman right here was the woman he loved dearly!

He pressed down onto her anxiously and started his plunder like a tirade of fierce waves . He had zero consideration for Krystal at all as he took her violently and ferociously .

The suffocating emptiness came in waves . The more he plundered, the worse he felt about the emptiness inside him . In the end, he stopped his movements and got off Krystal...
