Please read the A/N guys! Super uber important.

28.
REUM's POV

Kris was avoiding me. And he wasn't being particularly subtle about it either.

We got to the house quite late so there wasn't much talking as we all wished one another goodnight and headed upstairs.

"Are you going up?" Chen asked, pointing upstairs.

I shook my head, focused on the Kris who stood hovering behind me. I could sense that he wanted to speak to me. But he wasn't.

"I'll just get some uh- water from the kitchen first." I emphasised the location in hope that Kris would pick up the blatant message I was sending to him. I wanted to give him the perfect chance to confront me about whatever was making him behave so oddly.

"Oh?" Chen smiled, pointed at my bags "I'll take these up for you then. Well, g'night!" He stepped forward and pulled me in, hugging me quickly. "...sister." He whispered in my ear, as he hugged me tightly to him. He pulled back and winked at me, a mischievous look on his face. What was he up to?

I threw him a odd look in reply and he chuckled as he headed upstairs with my bags in his hands, whistling to himself.

I turned away from the stairs to face Kris and noticed he had gone. Ah, he was probably in the kitchen already.

Kris's POV

I'd never grinded my teeth more than I had in the space of these two hours. In the car, and just then when Chen lay his dirty hands on her.

And the most infuriating part? I can't do anything about it.

But that doesn't stop me from being angry at Reum. She could have easily pushed him off! But she didn't and instead wrapped her arms around him and even hugged him back!

Now that, was a stab right in the heart.

REUM's POV

When I entered the kitchen, Kris was stood with his back to me, facing the sink. He was washing himself a glass and wordlessly turned the tap off and walked to the fridge. I stood at the doorway, watching him.

Once he had the glass of water, he began to walk to the doorway, I stepped forward and smiled at him once he was directly infront of me.

He stared at me right in the face, no emotion in his eyes as he brushed past me roughly and walked away from me.

What the hell was that?

He completely ignored me. Kris was really doing this. He was playing the pmsing boyfriend and I sure as heck wasn't going to play the aww-baby-what's-wrong kind of girlfriend. I refused to give into him simply because I have no idea what I've do e wrong.

Humph. He can keep playing this game. I wouldn't care.

The next day I woke up and made my way downstairs to an empty home. Everyone was probably asleep.

Halfway into making breakfast for myself, Chen came downstairs.

"Oh, noona." He stretched and yawned, making his way across the room. "Make me breakfast too." He stole some egg off my plate and winked.

"Yah! Don't call me noona." I slapped his head. "Anyone can hear." I whispered.

"Everyone's asleep." He answered, rubbing his head. "Besides, I'm allowed to call you noona. You are both mine, and a couple of us youngers, noona after all."

That made sense. "Mianhae." I smiled shyly. "For your head." I pointed.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" He randomly screamed. "Noona, it hurts." He shouted.

"Shhhhh! You'll wake everyone up." I put my hand over his mouth and he smiled.

"Nod or shake your head. If I move my hand, will you promise not to shout." He nodded his head.

"Promise?"

He nodded again and I took my hand off his mouth. "Good." I walked around the kitchen to fetch the ingredients I needed to start on Chen's breakfast. He was sat opposite me at the kitchen counter and wouldn't stop complaining.

"Ah. It still hurts." He complained, rubbing his head while I was preparing his food.

Smacking the egg beater I was holding down, I threw him a scowl. "Yah! Will you shut up?"

Chen only smiled and winked at me. "I like it when my noona is angry at me." He joked. "Honestly though, please come and look at this. I might have a concussion." He pointed to his head and threw me a pleading look.

"Seriously?" I was now afraid. I didn't hit him that hard. "Where? Let me see!" I rushed to him and took his head in my hands.

"Where?"

"There." He pointed at his head and all I saw was hair.

"Where?" I repeated, squinting at his head.

"Here." Chen took my hand and guided it to the spot on his head. "There."

I could feel a lump on his head. "Omo. Chen there's a lump here." I pressed at it and he screamed.

"Ow! That hurts!"

"How did you manage to get a lump from a small smack?"

"I don't know, ask your iron hand." He smirked.

"Very funny. Sit here while I get ice."

The bag of ice in hand, Chen sat in a stool while I stood behind him, pressing the ice to his head. The more I pressed, he'd groan and shake a little at the cold.

"Yah. Stop being a baby." I teased and dabbed the ice on his head.

The sound of someone coughing caught our attention and Chen and I looked at the doorway to see a emotionless Kris stood watching us.

He looked slightly ruffled from sleep and entered the kitchen, ignoring us both completely and making his way to the counter where my already-prepared food lay.

Chen started squirming randomly. "Yah! My head." He pushed the ice off and rubbed his head. Whoops. I guess I left it on too long.

"Sorry." I apologised, giggling at the sight of Chen rubbing his head with a scowl on his face.

When I turned to glance at Kris, I noticed two things.

One: my food was missing.
And two: Kris was walking out of the kitchen holding a plateful of my food.

"YAH!"

Once Kris, Chen and I had breakfast, Kris received a call from the managers saying the heads of SM were coming to to brief us on a radio appearance we'd be attending today.

Chen left the house, saying he needed somewhere to go so Kris and I were left alone to wait for the managers.

The managers came soon after Chen left though, so we didn't have to wait long for them, we only now had to wait for the heads of SM.

"You're wondering why we've called you both up so soon after coming back right?" A manager spoke, while we took out seats in the living room, waiting for the heads.

"Precisely." Kris replied rudely, his nose turned up. I shot him a look which he ignored and nodded at the managers.

The doorbell rang at that moment and I got up to answer it. The heads of SM were at the door and they nodded at me as I bowed and let them in.

We were all now here and the briefing started.

"You've both done well." Soo-Man spoke. "We are very much impressed by the press you've given SM."

"Our stocks have risen and the popularity you've given SM has been rewarding." Jong-in smiled slightly.

"You." Soo-Man looked at me. "You, girl. You have proven yourself and I applaud you for it. It's not everyday something like this happens and I recognise your efforts have paid off. There is still, however, much to do."

I nodded my head and bowed slightly. "I understand, sir."

"And you." He looked at Kris. "Yi Fan, the fact that we have been driven into using a method this.." I noticed Soo-Man glanced at me. ".. dirty is beyond me." Kris, who had his head bowed looked up at this.

"Dirty?" He spat, his voice angry. The managers took a deep intake of breath and we all glanced at Kris as he and Soo Man had a stare-down.

"Yes." Soo Man responded, his eyes blazing as he stared down at Kris. "The business this girl here is needed for is undeniably dirty." He pointed at me with his eyes still fixated on Kris. I fought to keep my expression straight at this and looked down.

Kris however, scoffed loudly. He was testing dangerous waters as he glared at the head of the company.

"You're calling her dirty?" His voice was angry as he stared at the CEO.

"If you want to see it that way, boy, then yes." Soo Man needed a reward for keeping his face so controlled. We all sat holding our breaths while both he and Kris were intensely glaring at each other.

"Remember your place, boy. You are my worker at my company. Watch your words carefully when you address me."

I watched Kris's hand clench and unclench repeatedly. His mouth was set to a straight line and twitched but he didn't argue further and broke his gaze with the CEO.

"Ah. About whats happening today..." A manager spoke quickly, trying to clear the tense air no doubt.

Whatever he said next however, went in one ear and out the next as I sat staring at Kris.

I couldn't get past the fact that just then, Kris had done something dangerous.

Against his company, he had tried to stick up for me.. and it all went horribly downhill.

Much like how this fake relationship will, my mind teased.

Remember the contract. As soon as you're not needed, you and Kris won't see each other again... So give up.

Oh wait! That ending is too normal for me huh?

Fdbdjdbscsgdgs hi again guys.

Guess what? I have another offer for you all!
-insert drumroll here-

CAMEOS ARE BACK!

I was writing the next chapter and realised I have to roles I can easily give to you guys.
Since Kris and Reum are going to a radio-station, there has to be a host right? One cameo I'm offering is the role of the host. (Don't worry, I won't make you evil like the last host in one of the previous chapters! Blahhhhh I hated that character!)

The second cameo roll I'm offering is the roll of caller. I'm not going to say any more of what the caller does or says, I'm just gonna tell you all its another cameo.

I may also have other rolls to give out as callers but there's one main caller in the next chapter.

... This is all confusing right?
I think it'll be easier to understand once you all see what I mean.

Now, what do you have to do to get the cameo?

Actually, not much. I just want you all to support the rest of my works. Please just vote, comment and leave me awesome messages on the rest of my stories/the collection. It'll really brighten up my day. You can even make banners for your favourite chapters and I'll feature them. Do whatever you want to show support :-) Most of you have already done so and commented on my other stories, I haven't forgot you guys and I love seeing you guys in my news feed, it really does make me happy.

I want all my readers like this. Please don't shy away from commenting, as most of the time, I comment back with a reply and an episode of me fangirling with you \o/

Anyway, please comment on this chapter with your name/a name you'd like for the character and ill pick randomly.

Note: ill be in your inboxes with awkward questions that might be relative to the cameo character I'm offering. Please be ready for that. *side eyes you all*

I think I'm done talking. Don't be afraid to personal message me or write on my wall with question, I think I've been a little bland with explaining.

I'm done talking now^^ Anneyong my beautiful chinguuuus^^

Oh and very quickly, if you watch Heirs, I have one thing to say.... BUT KIM TAN'S KISS THOOOOOOOO~
