Who's there?

"Scary face you got going on there."

"You what?" Seunwo felt his heart drop.

"I kissed her and told her what I feel."

'You-" Seunwo raised his fist but stopped when Kai cut him off.

"Are you going to punch me? Go ahead if that makes you realise anything."

"She's my girlfriend."

"You don't even care about her, Woo. I was the one who always there for her. I bet she's already breaking up with you."

Seunwo tensed at the thought of that.

"Thats what you want all along right?" Kai smirked at him.

"I never said that." Seunwo said darkly.

"Come on. Admit it. You piss me off."

"You're the one who's pissing me off right now!" Seunwo snapped.

"She's always going out with you, talks to you about her future and worries. She seems to have so much fun with you and even the people in the fucking hospital thinks she's your girlfriend. What do you mean you kissed her?" Seunwo ranted.

"'Why do you care? You don't love her!" Kai said pointedly.

"This is a warning, Kai. You crossed the line. Stay away from her. Don't talk to her. Don't think about her and don't even breathe the same air as hers." Seunwo said glaring at him.

"You said so yourself. If I could sway her, you would accepted it."

"Why do you have to like her, Kai?" He touched his temple briefly, getting tired from the stress.

Kai sighed. He went too hard on a sick guy.

"You actually do worry a lot don't you? "

"I'm dating her. Why wouldn't I be?" Seunwo said flatly.

"If you love her then why don't you act like it? What about Elaine?" .

"I didn't cheat on her. It is my fault for letting my guard down. I thought Elaine just admired me as a mentor not a potential boyfriend." He looked away.

"I'm not cool at all. When I saw her starting to open up to you, getting closer to you, I got scared. I thought that she would stop having feelings for me. Because of that, I ended up pushing her away."

"You should tell her. She just want you to talk to her." Kai put his hands in his pockets. " Well, unless she chose me then it's an L for you."

Seunwo narrowed his eyes at him, annoyed.

"Just one thing though." Kai said before going to his room.

"What?"

"The moment she starts doubting, I'm taking her away."

Dohyon flicked her forehead, making her flinched and awake as she pulled herself up from the bed.

"Ow. There's other way to- whoa okay hangover. I'm dead, don't wake me up."

"Drink the soup, Chae." Dohyon pinched her cheeks playfully stretching it out.

"Elastic Chae."

"Okay okay, I'll drink it. Stop stretching my poor face." Chae swatted his hands away annoyedly and took the soup from him.

"I didn't know skin could be broke."

"Very funny."

"What did he do now?" He asked her meaningfully. Chae looked at him briefly and sighed.

"He's cutting me off."

"What? You serious?" Dohyon balked at her. She nodded nonchalantly.

"I refused to get married to his friend. I mean what the fuck? Marrying your own daughter to a fifty year old man for money? Just how messed up my dad could be? Does he think that we live in a webnovel?"

"Pretty messed up but I thought you are into old men." He said earning a jab from her.

"Mature doesn't mean old, dude."

"I'm pretty mature, why don't you like me?"

Chae paused at that and she looked at him squarely.

"Yeah why don't I like you?"

::

Waking up not by choice, Seunwo stared at the empty bed beside him. After what had happened, he began to feel the emptiness.

Had she always been there?

Despite his hectic work, she always reminded her to take care of himself even when he would gone for days without contacting her.

She would always be the first one to seek for him.

Sighing, he went to the bathroom to freshen up for the day and faced her seriously to sort out the misunderstanding.

Leira closed the door quietly and went down the stairs, yawning. That night, she couldn't sleep and just blankly stared at the ceiling.

"Lei."

"Kai."

"You okay?"

"I'm mad at you." Leira said flatly and walked down the stairs with Kai tailing behind her.

"I'm not sorry for what I did, if apology is what you expected from me."

Leira looked at him weirdly.

"I'm your friend's girlfriend. What were you thinking?"

"But I liked you first." He shrugged. Leira sighed not wanting to argue with him.

Strangely, she didn't feel uncomfortable talking to him despite what had happened yesterday.

"So have you thought about it?" Kai asked while looking at her as she was taking out yogurt from the fridge.

"About what?"

"Choosing me." Kai rolled his eyes. Leira paused at that and looked at him apologetically.

"Kai-"

"I know I know, you love him. I could tell by your face. What so good about him anyways?" Kai made a face and leaned to the counter. She just shook her head amused.

"You are his friend, you know."

"I know him too well. So what are you going to do?"

"I don't want to think about it yet, I guess. If we were meant to be together then we'll be together." Leira finished her yogurt and tossed into to the bin.

"Have you finish your report?" He changed the topic as they walked to the front door like always.

"Yeah, I'm officially done for my degree." She walked to the front door but halted when she forgot to take her car key in her room and turned but she bumped to Kai's chest instead.

"Oof." Kai chuckled and balanced her from falling to her butt. Leira flushed at their closeness.

Maybe it is too early to say she's over what happened.

Then she felt her body being pulled with force and now shes on another person's chest.

What the heck. Everyone calm down.

"I said don't touch her, didn't I?"

"I just save her from falling." Kai smirked and walked passed them. He got into his car and drove away.

Seunwo closed the door while still holding her arm.

"I'm leaving."

"No you're not."

"Seunwo-"

"I know what happened yesterday. Kai told me everything."

Leira clenched her jaw.

"Are you going to say that we're even now?" She asked annoyedly.

"Does it changes anything?"

"It doesn't matter."

"It does matter to me."

"I don't know but seeing you with Elaine did made me realise a lot of things about us, Han."

"There's nothing between me and her, Lei."

"If it weren't for Kai opening that door, I wouldn't know. If it weren't for that phone call, I wouldn't even know that you're sick!"

"What phone call?" Seunwo furrowed.

"I called to check if you're okay because of that stupid palm reading and you answered it but you were talking to her. She was being all blergh to you and by the time I reached there she was all up on you."

Leira hated herself for ranting like a jealous girlfriend but she just can't stay silent anymore. The cool Leira is gone.

"If you're coming to see me then why are you with Kai? Stop being friendly to him. He's a guy too, why do you have to always be chummy with another male." Seunwo spat.

"Don't even start with that Han Seunwo. Your favourite intern is always with you too!"

"Favourite intern? What are you talking about? Elaine is just my co worker."

"Well, Kai is my favourite friend." Leira said flatly and walked passed him but was pulled back.

Seunwo had pinned her against the door harshly making her winced by the sudden move.

"Just like that? One kiss and you're going to him? Am I nothing to you?" Seunwo growled.

"No, the thing is I am nothing to you, Han. Admit it, you lost interest in me." Leira looked at him in his eyes, seriously.

Seunwo twitched at that and forcefully kissed her as he cupped her face. He paused when he realised she had close her mouth with her palm.

Leira pushed him off her, still closing her mouth.

"You're confusing me, Seunwo."
