I'm not Nice !

NO way ! this wasn't going to happen again .. no freaking way! why were they after her life was her life that precious or not worth living . she bit his hand aggressively and hit his stomach with her elbow . he groaned loudly when she twisted his arm . she turned around to see his face .. how could someone who wanted to kidnap her be so weak.

seeing sun-ho's face her eyes stretched and she let go of him ... he groaned harder massaging his arm .

"it's just me !" he cried and she scratched the back of her neck .. oops!. no one could actually blame , she was Afraid

"you scared me what was i supposed to do ?" she glared . he heaved a sigh still rubbing his palm as her bite marks were still visible on it .

"where did you learn those moves " he scowled and she put her hands in the pockets of her hoodie .

" martial arts !.... fourteen" she confessed " a little " she added . she emphasized on the little part

" you trained martial arts! " he blurted

" well when your dad is overprotective and you have a small figure that's what you get " she shrugged her shoulders at him

" you seem pretty good at it " she rolled her eyes at his words

"oh shut it i only did it for like two weeks ... i got tired and fired my teacher .. I'm a lazy person i have to say " she said as she bypassed him expecting him to follow her which he did .

" what are you doing here anyways ?" he asked her as his eyes finally raked her body . what the-

" what happened?" he asked with stretched eyes and she groaned inwardly ... she really hoped he wouldn't notice

" i tripped" she bluntly replied and tilted his head . that was an obvious lie

" you think i'm stupid?" he raised a brow .. putting his hands in his pockets and she nodded

"yes" he scoffed with a stern face

"what happened?" he asked Again and she blinked a couple of times to try to figure out a lie she could tell .

" i got hit by a car " she acted like there was nothing wrong with it . sun ho nodded at her lie which he already believed to be true

"that makes more sense" he stated and she nodded . it was the same thing she told simi

" where was levi then... when you got hit by a car ?" he suddenly asked after a short while of silence . why were they asking her that ?

" i don't know!" she growled

" what were you thinking that you got hit by a car to this extent" he nagged and she whipped her head to face him and glared

"quit asking stupid questions .. i already got hit . you don't have to interrogate me about it" she snapped at him

" you know you're a very rude person i was just trying to be a good friend" he walked faster

"friends?... when the hell did we beco-" she couldn't finish her sentence as her phone suddenly vibrated interrupting their conversation . she pulled it out only to see her father's number finally calling her back . her eyes flew wide .

thank God!

sun ho was about to talk when she held her finger in mid air telling him to keep shut . he closed his lips and clicked his tongue .... see rude!. he got the message and kept his mouth shut so she could make her call

chloe swiped on answer and quickly put the phone beside her ear

she kept biting her nails ... she always did that anytime she got anxious . it was already an habit

"hello!" A feminine voice was heard on the other line of the phone . chloe first thought it was Stephanie but the lady didn't have a British accent so it was definitely not her evil step mother .

was her father cheating now?

"hello?" Chloe's soft voice sounded out . she was nervous .... she couldn't help it .

" oh so you're one of those sluts that fuck with my husband? " the woman sounded mad . Chloe shifted her phone from her ear to stare at it .. no glare at it . did she dial the wrong number . who was this mad woman ?

"Pardon me?" even if she was pissed off she sounded polite .

"Get away from my husband you whore leave him alo-" the woman was cut off by her husband pulling the phone from her hand

" this is mr. Cooper how can i help you" he said glaring at his wife . Chloe's eyes flew wide .. mr. Cooper , her dad's assistant oh! she called her father's assistant not him directly. she should have thought of that .

" mr cooper !... it's me ! chloe sir Andrews daughter" she explained and the man nodded shooing away his wife by gesturing his hands

" ah !... i was so surprised i didn't see you at your dad's funeral... how are you " the man sounded calm with what he just uttered . her face darkened instantly it felt like all the blood from her face had been drained. her eyes suddenly stretched and her throat ached as she swallowed continuously , she didn't hear it right ... right? it couldn't be what she heard . it can't be ! funeral?.

how can her father have a funeral when he wasn't dead ? what was he saying . No it can't be . cooper was definitely wrong .

"funeral?!" she stammered after a while of not speaking on the phone .

" yes.... i'm so sorry for your loss ... he was found .... d-dead last week . he committed s-s-suicide" cooper felt very uncomfortable having this conversation about his boss death . he managed not to think about it for a week now .

"what?" Chloe's voice was hoarse as a tear drop fell to her cheeks

" you didn't know?" he asked and she felt her knees weaken . she stood there stupefied , dumbstruck . he died a week ago! no one told her . milly or Steph didn't even think of informing her ? they kept her in the dark ! she felt a lump grow in her throat and her eyes watered she tried to swallow her tears for some moments

" is there a particular reason you called" cooper asked trying to sound professional

" e-e-i--i c-'all y-.. ou l-ater" her lips trembled as she spoke so she couldn't finish a sentence .. the man hung up. her legs wiggled and sun ho helped her stand . he heard her mumble funeral so he could already guess what was going on

"hey hey careful " he held her arm firmly . someone died!

" what's wrong? " his voice was very soothing but chloe didn't pay attention to that she didn't utter a single word .

"chloe is something wrong" he sounded concerned but Chloe wasn't listening she was in deep thoughts as her tears kept rolling down her eyes slowly . time seemed to slow for her .

why?

the world seemed to hate her so much

he grabbed her shoulders and squeezed them "Smith" he called hoping to get her attention and she flinched then slowly stared at him with red eyes and swollen face. he stared at her for a while before speaking

"what's wrong" with those two words she burst into sobs and covered her eyes with her palms . her father was gone .

sun ho didn't know what to do . should he coax her ? he slowly leaned in to embrace her and she cried on his T-shirt

he patted her back when she started hiccupping"it's okay" he coaxed

"you can cry" he added . she didn't hug back and just kept her palm on her eyes. was the news that bad for her to change her mood that fast

she kept sulking, hiccuping and sniffing . soon her forehead rested on his chest and her hands clutched the sides of his T-shirt

"it's fine" he coaxed, now embracing her fully . he rested his head on her hair . this wasn't that bad as he thought it would be

"sorry" he said again and she sniffed .. he unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief . she finally stopped crying . he released himself from their hug and held her by her shoulders .

"you okay?" he whispered and she slowly nodded

" look at me ... are you okay" he asked again and she looked up to face him but didn't reply . "it's fine" he assured and she wiped away the remaining tears in her eyes

"you don't even know the reason yet you're telling me it would be fine" she muttered in disbelief . he dropped his hands from her shoulders and shook it in his pockets

"i don't need to know the reason to coax you" he replied making her stare in disbelief

" but why were you crying though" he raised a brow and she smiled wanly

" my da-my father.... he .. h-he .."

"it's okay you don't need to tell me" he broke her off politely knowing what she wanted to say and knowing she wanted to burst into sobs again

"i'm sorry for putting you in such an awkward position.. you really didn't have to".she rubbed her eyes . she didn't know why she was crying so much for someone that never cared for her

" that would be rude and mean of me unlike the gentleman i am... plus what are friends for? " he managed to smile . she blinked her tears away and he grimaced his face .

" why are you nice to me" she murmured and he chuckled

" you make me sound like a nice person " he uttered .

" aren't you " he looked away and she wanted to burst into laughter but she couldn't ... her father's death affected her so much

" can you walk me home " she hesitated to ask first but she ended up saying it . it was already late and she was afraid to walk alone. sun ho turned his head to face her and saw that she still wanted to cry .. maybe she was holding it in because of his presence . why can't she cry it all out . he didn't mind

" you mean levi's house" he tilted his head slightly and she gave him a look .

" sure fine" he gave in and she smiled bitterly . how can someone look so pretty and cute at the same time even when they cry

" you see i was right you're kinda nice " she blurted . why not be friends . there was nothing wrong with it right?

"i'm not nice Smith" he stated and she scoffed

" yeah sure" she rolled her eyes

" let's take my car" he suddenly informed

" why were you at the park anyways ?" she asked and he looked her way

" you know i asked you the same question but you ignored it" he smirked

"it's none of your business " she blurted and he chuckled

" same here Smith" he uttered as he lead her to his car
