Bye, Ms Bonfire

Dylan's POV....

I took a step closer to her and put my palms on her cheeks, cupping her face. I heard her gasping but it didn't stop me. I brought her face closer and pressed my lips on her forehead. Her eyes flipped open, looking shocked.

She didn't push me away and it's her another mistake.

I leaned and kissed her cheeks, shivers ran through my body. Feeling like my heart will explode soon. It's beating really fast. So fast. Too fast.

My lips were about to touch hers when she let out a soft gasp. "Die...Land." She mewed my name that was given by her. Her body was trembling. She was sweating.

Thank you for stopping me.

I rested my forehead on hers and took a long breath, trying to breathe in the same air as her. "Let's not meet again."

She didn't reply, she just looked deep into my eyes, confused.

"Even if we meet again, let's not talk with each other. Let's pretend we're strangers. Don't say hi, don't call me Die Land, don't make me frustrated, don't even smile at me. You don't know Die Land. I don't know Princess Tiara. Enjoy your holidays with your boyfriend." I gave her a soft smile.

She is the first girl who watched me smiling. Not just once, it's thrice.

"And yes. Don't change for anyone. Wear those dresses in which you're most comfortable. Kick those jerks whoever try to tease you. Be stubborn even over a cup of tea. If anyone disturbs you, don't forget to teach them a lesson. Be yourself. It suits you the best." I said before making my way to the cottage. She was still frozen in that place. I know I've done something crazy. I know she'll hate me. I want her to hate me, to help me to run away from her and not coming between her and Ethan. It's the best.

"Dude, you really have to go?" Rohan asked, making a sad face. I told him everything and he said it'll be best for me. And now look at this jerk. He can act so naturally unlike me.

I nodded and gave him a side hug before looking at the direction where Sunbin and Ethan were standing. I was expecting someone else too.

She wasn't there. I knew she'll not. But why was I expecting to see her now?

No, Dylan. You can do this. Control yourself.

"Tiara is sleeping until now." Ethan said when we shook our hands.

Okay, I didn't ask.

"I know." I opened the door of the car but as something crossed my mind I stopped and looked at him. "Spoil her."

Ethan tilted his head confusingly. "Pardon?"

"Tell her how amazing she is. Make her feel what it's like to be Number one. Never put anything or anyone before her." I put my hand on his shoulder. Ethan looked dumbfounded. I guess he understood about whom I'm talking now.

"Love the way she is. Respect the soul she carries. Grow with the passion of hers. Support the craziness she held inside. If you want a queen, be the king. Kings lock their Queens in their castles but inside that large castle they let them breathe in the air of freedom." I said to him before sitting inside the car.

"Take care of her. Bye." I waved at them as I took a glance at the cottage through the glass, still hoping she'll come.

But no, there was no sign.

Bye, Ms. Bonfire. Take care. Be happy with Ethan. See you in my dreams.

Tiara's POV...

"He left?" I asked Ethan when he came into the room.

Ethan nodded. "Yeah. When did you wake up?"

"He didn't ask about me?"

"No."

"Really? He didn't?"

Ethan took a long breath as he sat beside me on the bed. "Did you expect him to ask about you?"

"Obviously. I did. We're friends."

"Whatever." He said with an annoyed voice before cupping my face.

He is doing this again.

He glanced at my lips and leaned closer. Why are boys always interested in this topic? Doesn't he know I don't like these things? How many times do I have to tell him?

"Ethan. I'm in a bad mood." I moved away from him.

He sighed. "Actually, the mood doesn't matter. You don't like my touches. You always find a good excuse to avoid my touches."

"I don't like skinship."

"Are you sure you love me?"

Did he ask am I sure or not?

"Ethan!"

He massaged his temple as he stood up. "I'll go back to Seoul tomorrow."

Will not he go back to France?

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"To my apartment."

"Apartment?"

He never told me about it.

"Oh, I forgot to tell. I'll stay here in Korea for five months. For a project."

Project? So he was here for his work? Not for me? And look at him, he was acting like he has done nothing wrong.

I raised my brow. "So you have come back for work?" I asked trying to calm myself down.

He nodded. "Yeah. I'll start work from tomorrow. I've bought an apartment a long ago."

Great! I've nothing to say. I don't want to argue with him. My mind is now crowded with Dylan. That jerk didn't even ask about me? Like seriously? He really didn't want to see me again?!
