The Half to my Whole

Chapter 32

LEO

Seoul, South Korea

10:45 PM

        "Oh God. I'm so sorry Leo." she said, her eyes were washed over with shock and sadness. I smiled reassuringly and cupped her cheek, tracing the skin with sweet caresses with my thumb. Hoping that this would display that I was fine now and she helped me accept and get over it.

"I love you." I breathed out.

Her lips twitched before it curved up to the smile I know and love, "I love you too..." she answered so softly I almost missed it. 

I couldn't control the way my smile grew wider and my heart was thumping loudly against my chest that I wouldn't be surprised if it would burst out of my chest anytime soon.  

"How long were you staying in Switzerland?" she asked curiously as she started playing with my fingers that is on her cheek.

"A year and a half."

She nodded as if she understood something, "Now I know the reason why Lisa was going abroad every chance she could get even if she would get scolded because of privacy reasons 'cause, you know with stardom and all. She didn't tell us the reason though even though she would usually tell us immediately if anything was up so we were quite upset that she would not tell us. Now I understand why she did it." 

Well that sounds like my sister alright, even if she would get in trouble she did not care and only worry about me even though I had tried to reassure her every time. When I was in Switzerland, I had manage to glue a bit of my soul and heart but my girlfriend's death would still haunt me. I would often get nightmares of her dying over and over again. If my sister was in Switzerland with me, she would hold me until I would fall asleep, like I was a fragile baby that would break if she was holding me too roughly, but whenever she wasn't around to hold me I felt completely shattered and anxious so even if it was in the middle of the night in Korea she would let me call and coo and talk 'till I fell sleep. She saved me from completely drowning and shattering myself, she became my savior, that's why I really love her and I would do anything for her like she did to me.

"Many things happened in that year and a half Jen... I felt dead, mentally and emotionally but I managed to stitch a bit of my heart and soul back thanks to my parents and especially my sister but I was never the same again." I replied, "But enough of me Jen, could you tell me about your past relationship?" she looked uneasy right after it came out of my mouth so I quickly added, "O-of course I won't force you if you're uncomfortable with the topic." 

She quickly shakes her head, "No it's fine. You told me your story it's only right that I would tell you mine." she chuckled lightly, "My past relationship ain't that dark and extremely sad like yours and it was not like what like it seemed."

I frowned but gave her a peck to reassure her, "I understand Jen."       

She took a deep breath before looking at me straight in the eyes, "Mine and Jongin's relationship weren't real."

I blinked, unable to comprehend at the revelation, "What?"

"My relationship with EXO's Kai was not real. It was a publicity stunt that was agreed on by both our companies. The time when Dispatch photographed both of us on a date was scripted." 

"B-But I thought you and the girls still have a dating ban which by the way you're violating." I smirked at the end.

She grinned and slapped my chest playfully, "Our boss was willing to ignore it for the sake of the gain which I don't know what, probably for attention even though both of our groups are popular enough." she then pecked the tip of my nose, "And yeah, I'm violating one of the rules of my contract so you better feel honored." she added jokingly.
