Enemies in Love

Chapter 10

Was it all a dream...?

That's the question that ran through Misaki's mind. She had been up all night thinking about the events that took place the night before. She had found out that Li was in fact BK-201 and that he went by the name of Hei. The whole thing felt so unreal. A part of her was trying to convince herself that it was all a dream, but she knew better then to lie.

How was she going to look him in the eyes now? Every time she sees him, she'll be conflicted on how to act. It was obvious enough with how she created an awkward atmosphere after he had told her the truth. He probably regretted telling her on his way back home. What worried Misaki more was the kind of face she'd put on in front of her subordinates. She could easily fool them, but deep down she'd feel guilty for knowing who BK-201 really was.

"Why did it have to be like this...?"

At that moment Misaki's phone started to ring. She slowly reached into her pocket and answered. "Hello."

"Misaki! How could you have another date with Li and not tell me?!"

Great, it was Kanami.

"It wasn't a date, we were just hanging out. Is that the only reason you called me?"

"No, I also heard from Saitou that you even gave up going after BK-201 to stay with Li! Don't keep anything from me Misaki! Did you sleep with him?!"

"N-No! But more importantly, how did Saitou know I was with Li?"

"Li himself called from your cell phone last night. He told Saitou you weren't feeling well and couldn't go meet up with him."

He strikes again. I have to admit, he's a good liar.

"Now confess Misaki! What happened last night?"

"Nothing...Like Li said I wasn't feeling well so I decided not to go and come straight home. Honestly, nothing happened that's worth mentioning..."

"Then why do you sound upset? Did he reject you?"

"No! Why do you keep assuming things?!"

"Because that's the only way I'll find out anything! You're stubborn so I have to find a way to get you to talk."

"Really, I'm fine. I'm just tired. Look Kanami, I'll call you later, okay? Keep me posted if anything comes up."

"Oh alright, but this conversation isn't over. See ya!"

Misaki sighed as she hung up the call. Kanami was the last person she wanted to talk to that early in the morning. Even though Kanami was one of her closest friends, she couldn't exactly tell her that the guy she fell for was really the criminal they have all been trying to catch. Life just wasn't fair. What did she ever do to deserve it?

Making her way out of bed, Misaki wondered how things would unfold. Could she really look passed everything and continue to love him? He was willing to take the risk of exposing his true identity that alone should tell her how much he must want them to trust each other. If only she could learn more about him. Who he really was, where he came from, his family, and why he decided to become the infamous criminal on her list.

It was going to be tricky, but she had to know who Hei was before anything else could happen.

"I can't believe you told her!" Huang yelled while fueling with rage. The group had assembled at the park to discuss the night before, but none of them were expecting a surprise from Hei. "I'm sure Hei has a good reason," Mao said while looking at the stocky man walking back and forth.
