It’s been a year since I left EXO, and I honestly regret nothing. I got used to the fact that everyone will hate me, but I stopped caring. My life is almost perfect. I have the family business, I’ll be married soon. I have friends from different groups, and companies in Korea. Life is fine.
Looking out the 13 story window, I look down to see another sasaeng trying to sneak in, it’s been a year and they’re still doing this? Grow up wont you.
I heard a knock on the door and my assistant rushed in, “Mr Wu! I-“
“Nim Yoo, I know you’re new here, but please. I’ve been telling you day after day, drop the formality.”
“Sorry Mr Y-“ “Kris is fine.”
“Sir, we don’t have time for this, a group of sasaengs are on their way up, they got past security”
“Shit.”
That incident happened weeks ago, but I can’t help feeling that my life could be at risk due to these sasaeng fans. Are they trying to kill me because I left exo? Or do they want something?
“Oppa what is the wifi password?” The voice of my young fiancée cut off my thoughts. I can’t say I don’t want to marry her, as a matter of fact, I really wouldn’t mind. I’ll get to love her eventually. “O-v-e-r-d-o-s-e with a capital O” I replied not giving her eye contact. She knew that I didn’t like talking about EXO or anything that has to do with it.
“Do you wanna go out for lunch?” I asked turning to her with a smile. She looked at me then smiled. “Sure”. “By the way, my Umma asked if she can see both of us sometime today, wanna get that over with?” I asked, really hoping she’d say after lunch. “Alright, let’s go first.”
God dammit.
“Annyeong hasseo” I bowed to the maid “I’m here to see Umma” I said giving her a half smile. “She is upstairs, Mr Wu Fan.” She signalled upstairs.
“Annyeong Umma” I said giving her a hug. “We’re here to discuss whatever” I said and sat on the white velvet couch, with Alice next to me. “Very well” She said and sat in front of us.

“So” She started. “You two will certainly not get any younger, and the business will need to go down to someone”
“Umma you’re not saying that we need to have a baby are you?!” Kris bursted with disbelief.
“Exactly, I’m glad you got that. Now it needs to happen between now and two years. That is all, and that is an order. I have already informed Alice’s parents and I have their upmost support.”
Kris’s POV
I can’t believe this. I can’t believe my mother. It has only been a year since I’ve left EXO and she’s already acting like she rules over me again, but she’s my umma.. And she’s right. The business has to go to someone..
Looking over to Alice I can see the shock, she looks frightened.
“Alice?”
“Alice??”
I pulled the car over at a nearby park and looked over to her. “Alice, are you alright?” Her head turned towards me and tears streamed out of her eyes. “I.. I.. I don’t want to do this anymore.. I don’t want to have a baby just because your mother needs someone to take over the business later on. Oppa I’m scared!!” Her face buried into my chest and I could feel how frightened she is.
“Let’s go home”
The ride was rather silent, I held her hand and caressed the back, trying to ease her crying, but to all avail, it didn't make a difference.
As we arrived at home, she went to bed crying, leaving me doing work in the home office I wanted to go comfort her, but the frustration is just so overbearing… My mother is literally forcing me to have sex with her, and we’re not even married. My fiancée is emotionally unstable and watching her in this state makes my heart ache. I may not love her, but I still care.
End of POV
Alice’s POV
I’m aware that he doesn’t love me. I thought being my bias’ wife would be a dream. Our marriage was arranged, he didn’t fall in love with me like I always dreamed. He doesn’t care, if he did he would be making me feel better, he would be with me at this very moment. But he’s not..
I walk outside and peeped into his office seeing him with his hands grabbing his hair and head facing his desk. I walk into the hallway and stop by a picture of our engagement party. We looked so happy. I looked so happy.. This whole time I was stupid, I thought he loved me when in reality he never did. My face looks like a puffy mess. What happened to the Alice in the pictures? The one smiling as if her life was perfect?
I lifelessly stare at the picture, tears welling up in my eyes; when I feel arms wrap around me from behind. “I’m sorry..”
