Ch 14
Waking up to the sudden sound of his device, Chris cursed when he couldn’t find it. “Where the heck is the damn thing?! And who would call me this freaking early!” he grumbled as he finally found it, yet he regrets answering it once he heard the caller’s voice. “OPPA!! Rise and shine!” a chirpy happy voice called from the end of the line.
When he didn’t reply, the voice called louder, if possible, and it woke him up for sure. “Huh?” he sat up straight and had his eyes shoot open wide; surprised, confused and annoyed. If he was groggy a while ago, he’s fully awake now; thanks to his beloved cousin.
Starching the back of his neck, Chris looked around the room and back to the device in hand, “What…” his gruff and confusing morning voice must have resonated to the other end because he suddenly heard Luke’s voice. “Aliaa, give me the phone… now!&rdquo

Chris had told her with a note to go meet up with Aliaa and her friends at the coffee house and that was where she is headed. On her way there she kept receiving stares and whispers from the staff as they thought she didn’t understand anything. "Well, just your luck, I do understand; every damn word. I hope you would just shut up. Really, it’s not like I want to be in this position," she made her way to Aliaa as the younger waved her over. Aliaa was sitting with the girls along with the wedding planner and organizer.“Unnie, you remember my friends, right?” Aliaa hugs Jihyun’s hand as if it was a natural thing to do, drags her over, and made Jihyun sit next to the girls that she met at the airport. Jihyun gave them a small smile in greeting as they all were still not used to each other yet. Aliaa told her to stay put as she gets her some pancakes even though Jihyun said she could get them herself.“Hi and good morning Jihyun

Meanwhile, Chris was busy with his friends since he came down. After having breakfast together, he took his time to greet some family members while they went away and meet up with staff that needed his attention. Once he was done, he didn't waste time and looked for his small group of friends.“Hey dude, how are the preparations going for lunch?” Chris could see the male monitoring the lunch barbeque preparations. The staffers were busy making sure there are enough plates, utensils, glass, and other things at the private beach that is owned by the resort. They start to move a lot more as they spot their big boss watching.“Everything’s great. Thanks for asking. I’m just informing you, your parents got here early when you were still sleeping so I told them you guys can meet for the barbeque,” there was a small laughter laced in his best friend's voice, but Chris ignored it and looked almost bored. “Were they expecting me? Did th

“Unnie, I’ve been meaning to ask you, and I didn’t want to ask Chris this. I was waiting to talk to you...” Aliaa starts with a serious face as the rest stop their chatter to listen to her intentionally, interested. “What is it? If I could answer it, I will,” even Jihyun was hooked, the younger looked so serious, that Jihyun's heartbeat rise quickly.Instead of talking, Aliaa played with her fingers as if she was nervous, “Of course you can. This question is about you, well… it sort of has to do something with Chris as well but…” she bit her lower lip, the serious look now faded and Jihyun was worried about the question more than why Aliaa was like the way she is. “Okay? What is it?” waiting for Ailaa's words, Jihyun's heart almost stopped beating when she heard the question.“Well… how did you and Chris end up together? Like, how did it happen?” the look on her face was so ser

“Where are the girls? No, wait, where’s Aliaa?” Chris didn't want to voice it, but he did as he looked at Luke and he glances at his phone as they are all enjoying a glass of champagne under the shades. Philip and Xiuming had requested it and it didn’t seem wrong to have a bit of alcohol during the day. "Where is she? Has she eaten yet? How come she hasn’t read any of my text?"“Maybe still at the coffee house, gossiping? You know how girls are, especially your cousin,” Luke shrugs like it wasn’t a big deal. “Aren’t you worried?” he held back his tongue at how laid back his best friend looked. “About what?”“She’s not here, in front of you. Aren’t you worried about her? Something can happen to her you know...?”“Of course I worry about her, she’s my fiancée… but she also wants some time away from me to spend it with her friends

Meanwhile, as the family members from both sides arrived to join the open barbecue, a blonde male walked towards the lobby to check in with the rest. But he stopped short when he saw a familiar figure walking in the same direction as him, “Cameron!” calling to the said female, she turned around and smiled brightly at him in surprise. Her heart raced when he came toward her with a smile plastered on his handsome face. "Did you just got here?" both of them asked at the same time, and it caused them to laugh before nodding at the same time. Winking at Cameron, Raymond didn't need to say anything else for her to know that he was going to flirt with her as if he never met her. “Yeah, I was about to enter the lobby but I saw you’re beautiful face from a mile away,” and with that, she chuckled with a shake of her head. It might look like she was used to his joke but truth be told, deep down, she had always loved and hated it when he does. Hated it because he doesn't mean a word he says as h

"There you are!" Jihyun almost jumped in surprise when she 'exit' the comfort room. Acting as if she wasn't scared by his panicked and worried call earlier, and as if she wasn't just pushed up against the walls a few feet away from where they stood by her ex. Jihyun looked at Chris with a look of pure shock and almost felt overwhelmed when he looked at her for a little too long."Chris? Is everything okay?""Okay?! Are you-" he looked almost ridiculed for having the woman asked him if he was fine, "I am not okay Jihyun! Didn't I just tell you how worried I was when I couldn't reach you earlier today?" If she was faking her shock a few minutes ago, this time it was real. "You asked to be excused to the comfort room but it's been almost fifteen minutes and I was this close to losing my mind thinking something bad happened to you!"Jihyun blinked her eyes, as she didn't know how to reply to his worried attitude and gesture. She knows he was worried for her sa

Jihyun stare at the ceiling with a sigh, she’d thought being Chris’s fake girlfriend was easy, but it was easier said than done and what’s worst, her feelings got confused just by his small touches and gentle words. Somehow, it didn’t help either when Raymond suddenly showed up, she’s is afraid that Raymond will tell Chris the truth before she got the chance to explain herself. "It’d be easy if I don’t feel anything… is the theory or falling for someone in 60 seconds real? Am I falling for him? But why am I so scared of him finding out? Does it have anything to do with my feelings at all?" thoughts after thoughts flood into her mind, making her move her small frame relentlessly around the bed. Unknown to her, Chris was watching her closely, “You know, you’ve been sighing a lot after we left the party, was it my parents?” Chris could not take his eyes away from her lying on the bed, looking lost and a bit distraught. Chris dragged her back to their room and Jihyun immediately sank he

Waking up and feeling like her body was made out of leads, she frowned when the emptiness of the room greeted her. Trying to recall what happened to her before her nap, Jihyun's nose scrunched as her memories were blurry. "Did something happened to me?" she asked aloud as she looked into the vanity mirror, confused as to why there was a hickey on her collarbone suddenly. Try as she might, the happenstance of Luke and Aliaa's old schoolmates flashed and what came next played a stupid movie for her."CHRIS!" she blushed yet her red face wasn't just because she felt butterflies with his action, but it was also due to the fact she was frustrated with the male. His "Don't question the skin-ship I do or intent," was driving her crazy as their days here progressed.***“Don’t, don't go Jihyun...” he whispers in his deep voice as if he knew what kind of effect it has on her, letting shivers run down her spine, back hugging her still.“W-why?” Jihyun shuttered, "Shit!" she felt Chris’s hug t
