Kit's POV

What the heck?!

I saw him fell on the floor when I opened my door.

Did he really stay out when I told him to?

No, he wasn't that foolish.

"Why the hell are you sleeping outside my room, Ming? " I said slowly.

I helped him up. "It's cold here, " I scolded him.

"You told me to stay here so I did, " he retorted.

"If I told you to jump off from a rooftop of a building, would you? "

"If it'll make you happy,  yes. "

Yeah,  there he goes. He just proved me otherwise.

Why do I like this guy again?

I bit my lower lip to prevent any harsh words from escaping my mouth.

"Go home, " I said coldly.

"Where are you going?" he ignored my question.

"Going to grab some food, " I looked at him. "Have you eaten? " before I could stop myself I asked.

"No, " he put his hand on his stomach.

"Then go home and eat, " I told him coldly.

"Nah, " he shook his head.

He looked tired and hungry and earlier he looked like he had waited for a long time.

"Kit,  I waited for you here since five o'clock. " he made it sound like he was begging.

"Who told you to? " I checked my watch. It was almost midnight.

"I want to, "

I glowered at him. I handed him my room key.

"Get inside and wait for me, "

"Where are you going? " he asked.

"Stop asking and just do as I say like you did earlier. " I said.

"Yes,  my wife. Don't be out for long I will miss you. " he blew a flying kiss.

"Miss my ass, you have Prae to play around." I whispered and left.

I've been keeping myself from asking about Prae because I don't want to give him silly ideas.

I went out to buy us food. I planned to feed him then kick him out after.

I can't just send him away with an empty stomach.

Really?  A voice inside me.

I ignored it. I went to the nearby convenience store. I didn't know what he liked so I just bought a lot of what I'd like to eat.

I returned home at once.

When I arrived,  I saw him leaning his back on the sofa eyes closed.

He seemed really tired.

"Is that you Kitty? " with his eyes closed he whispered, he sounded like he was in pain.

"You okay? " I asked. My heart ached seeing him. I went closer and touched his forehead.

I was astounded when he suddenly pulled me beside him and wrapped his arms around me.

I tried to break free but he was stronger so I gave up after trying for a moment.

I can feel him breathing in my ears.

"I am not, " there was a tingling sensation to have him this close.

We stayed like it for a long time.

There was a long silence but it wasn't awkward. It made me more at ease.

"Who was that guy with you earlier? " he asked sternly, it broke the silence.

"A friend, "

"I believe this 'friend' has a name? "

"Why do you have to know? " he didn't recognize Ice from afar.

"So I can put him on my watchlist," he answered quickly.

"You aren't going to do anything stupid,  are you? " I asked. I pushed him hardly to break free from his hug which I successfully done.

I glowered at him.

"Are you trying to protect him? " there was anger in his tone.

"I just don't want to cause the person any trouble, "

"So you're protecting him. " he assumed.

"And If I do? " I challenged him. I raised my brow.

"Then the more I need to know his name. " he said with finality.

"The more that I don't want to tell you. "

"Was that Ice? " his voiced out.

I looked at him. "You don't need to know. "

"So that was Ice, " he sounded certain about his speculation.

"What the hell,  Ming? " I was so furious.

"I am very selfish, I don't share what's mine Kitty. " he said in a serious tone.

"I. Am. Not. Yours, " I told him and paused to every word to remind him.

"Yet, " he said with a playful smile. "And I am planning to change that. "

It made feel good.

I sighed sharply to cover it up. It's difficult to win in a conversation with this guy.

I stood up and got the food I bought.

"I didn't know what you like so I just bought whatever was there. "

He was silent. He appeared to be bothered.

"Kitty, " he said in a soft tone. "I need to ask you something, " he said.

I handed him the bag of food.

"About what? " curiously I asked.

"I have a friend,  she is someone I could count on all the time. " he started.

My heart felt like it was being squeezed hard. "Go on, "

I didn't like the idea that he was relying to someone. I want it to be just me, me alone.

"She just confessed to me but I don't feel the same way. " he said sadly.

"And, " though it was breaking me inside,  I had to show him I was okay with it.

"I don't want to hurt her, " there was a pain in his voice.

"Why can't you like her back? " It was a two-edged sword question.

I was afraid to hear his answer but at the same time I needed to know.

He looked at me. "Do you really need to ask that? "

Safe answer. I thought.

"If she's just any other girl,  it would be easy but she's someone important. " he appeared to be really helpless.

How can you claim to like me when you have someone important in your heart? This was to much to bear.

I couldn't take this anymore.

"What should I do? " he inquired.

"Follow what your heart says, " I told him.

I didn't want to give him ideas that would surely hurt me.

"What do you think my heart will say about this? "

I shrugged to show him I didn't give a damn. "Ask it, "

"That's why I am asking you," he said persistently.

"I am not your heart. "

"But you're most of it. You own it. " he said affectionately.

Ayyyihhhh. <3 <3
