"for what?" i asked.

"i don't know."

"he'll still stay undercover, right?"

"i'm pretty sure," changkyun replied.

"why would he come get me?" i asked. but then, it got to me. i hadn't told him what minhyuk's motive was, was that why? "nevermind, thanks for letting me know."

i ended the call and faced jiyoon.

"jooheon is coming to get me."

jiyoon's eyes widened.

i figure suddenly appeared at the window. it was too familiar, i didn't even have to think twice about who it was.

i walked over to the window and mouthed, "why are you here?"

he pointed to the latch and knob. i rolled my eyes and opened it harshly.

"why are you here?" i asked as jooheon fell face first into the floor.

"tch, a simple 'are you okay' would've sufficed," jooheon said quietly as he was standing up.

"why did you come get me?" i asked.

"come get you? is that what you heard from changkyun?" he broke into a small laughter. "i said i was coming to get the truth out of you."

"did you seriously have to go this far? you can get caught any moment!" i punched his arm.

"whatever, what's his motive?"

i ignored his question and said, "go back to the agency before you get caught."

"i asked you something."

"and i told you to do something."

we stared daggers at each other, in the silence.

"i-i think you should tell him," jiyoon spoke softly from behind me.

"he would understand," i looked down.

"what do you mean i wouldn't understand—yah blair, are you okay?" i felt jooheon hug me. "please, don't cry. jiyoon, why is she like this?"

"she's getting sensitive over minhyuk," jiyoon replied.

"what do you mean?"

"just tell him," i muttered silently.

"minhyuk grew up bullied, and his whole life was declared a murder of his own family," jiyoon explained.

"but blair, why is this affecting you so much? i mean, we've heard stories like this before and this never happened to you..." jooheon said.

i stayed silent.

"blair, what happened to the tough girl i met? please don't cry over silly things," jooheon begged.

"i'm not," i said.

"what does his past life have to do with him wanting to rule the world?" jooheon asked jiyoon.

"he wants to prove them wrong."

"and he's going that far?"

jiyoon nodded.

"but that's—blair, please stop crying," he caressed my hair. "it's nothing to cry over...jiyoon, what's happening?"

jiyoon sighed. "not only has minhyuk fallen for blair," she paused and looked jooheon straight in the eyes,

"blair has fallen for him too."
