Derek could only look at the girl whom he liked kissing another person.

He's not a masochist. He just wanted to make sure Iris would make the right decision for herself not because she's being forced.

The two broke off the kiss and Iris was clearly panting.

Iris could only look down while Alice was glaring at Derek.

"I guess you could leave now." Alice told him.

"Iris...I'll go now. Remember, I'll always be here for you if you need a friend." He told her then turned his attention to Alice and spoke, "Alice...you win now...but...if you'll hurt her, I'll do everything in my power to get her from you."

"Don't worry. That would never happen. I'll make her happy as long as I can. But if I failed to give her the happiness that she deserved, I'll set her free." Alice reassured him.

"It's good to hear that. I'll mark your word." Derek decided to leave as he knew there's no room for him to stay.

As soon as Derek left, Alice dragged Iris back into her RV. But mid-way, Iris halted making Alice who was dragging her to stop as well.

"Wait." Iris spoke.

"Why? Is something bothering you?" Alice asked her worriedly.

"Alice, what are we? Who am I to you?" Iris voiced out her doubts.

"I like you and...yo-you like me right? I mean we clicked right from the start." Alice tried to reason with her.

"It's not enough Alice. Geez! We're not freaking teen agers who made rush decisions based on impulse. We're an adult so we better be and act like one!" Iris tried to put sense on Alice mind.

Feeling defeated, Alice retreated and slumped on the park bench.

"I'm sorry." She said in a whisper and rubbed her temples together. "Yeah, you're right. Everything's in a rush. It's just that I don't want to lose my chance on you without thinking that by continuing doing what I'm doing, I'd still lose you." Alice added as she looked at Iris who was looking at her with helpless gaze.

However, Alice was not discouraged because of their set-up.

"If things looked vague now, then let me make it clearer for us." Alice stood up and took both of her hands.

"Iris, will you allow me to court you? Be my girlfriend?" Alice asked her with pleading eyes.

"Tell me, what's in me that you want me to be your girlfriend?" Iris asked her.

"I mean don't get me wrong but I would love to be your friend. But be your girl? Isn't it too much? I mean..."

"Should I really have to look for a reason to like and not like you? To love and to not love you?" Iris interrupted her.

"I grew up in a messy family. I witnessed how my parents destroyed each other in front of me. How they fell out of love and became mortal enemies. I once had a proper conversation with my mom before she died. Asked her why she had fallen in love with dad who's such a jerk. To tell you honestly, she could tell me a thousand reason why she loved my dad. However, she only had one reason why she left him for good. My dad changed and all the reasons why she loved him also vanished. As a result, she lost the reason to love him.

Loving someone because you have a particular reason is pointless. Could the reason be nothing so that when it's gone, love would still remains? I like you and I don't know the main reason why I like you. And I would never dare to know why because if that is gone, I'm afraid my feelings for you would never be the same." Alice sighed after she finished.

Iris giggled because of Alice's unique reasoning.

"You're indeed an author. You have a vivid imagination and different perception in life especially in love. You kind of reminded me of my mother. She would say things exactly what you've had said."

"Really?" Alice asked her.

"En. Honestly, I just want to test you. I don't need to hear your reason. How you answered my question matters the most to me. Call me weirdo but your answer made me feel your sincerity." Iris answered.

"Honestly, I want to be honest with you. I just came from a dinner with the man whom my dad arranged me to marry."

Alice decided to come clean with Iris. She didn't want to hide this to Iris.

"However, I didn't meet him to get to know him and to see if there's any spark. I met him because I want to convince him to help me ask his father to cancel the engagement. That way, we could save each other from a loveless marriage."

Alice looked at Iris after she said that. However, fear grew in her heart when she saw that Iris was only looking at her.

"Please say something. Don't just look at me like I had done something which was against the law."

"Well...*ahem!* What can I say? You have a life planned by your parents. I'm in no position to disrupt it."

"Gosh! You have every rights or position because I wanted you to. I wanted you in my life."

"Then what do you want me to do? What do you expect from me? How do you want me to react?" Iris asked her.

"At least show that you care?" Alice helplessly told her as she dramatically threw her hands in the air.

"Honestly, I'm happy. Happy that you did what you did. But deep inside, I'm scared. Scared of how people would judge us if we did end up together."

"Oh. So that's what your greatest worry. Do we need their approval in order for us to be happy?" Alice asked her.

"No, but..."

"No buts. What's more important is you liked what we're about to do. That you like me and you to be together. Let me court you. Please?" Alice begged as she kneel down.

"What do you think are you doing? Stand up." Iris pulled her up to stop her from kneeling as it's embarrassing her. The students were already looking at them.

"No. I won't stand up unless you'll allow me to court you." Alice stubbornly said.

"Stand up, they're watching us!" Iris told her.

"If you'll keep doing what you're doing, then I am afraid, things won't work out between us. I'm different than you. I can't...I'm sorry."

Alice stood up and looked at her.

"Are you re-jecting me?" Alice asked her in disbelief. She's hurt. She thought it should not be that painful since they didn't know each other that much. But then...

"Fine. If you don't want me, then so be it! I hope you won't regret this decision." Alice decided to walk away leaving Iris in tearful state but held back her emotions.

She heavily sighed and retreated back to her dorm wondering if what she had done was the right thing to do.

***

Weekend came and someone woke up with a sore morning. Who wouldn't when they slept almost four in the morning?

Waking up, Kim Eunji groaned and felt so sore all over her body. Especially on the space in between her legs.

"Good morning!" Nathan greeted her with a warm and huge smile plastered on his face. He was already wearing his pants and was topless.

It was also clear that he had already taken a shower.

"Good morning." Kim Eunji greeted him back and reached out for a morning kiss.

The kiss took longer as they savored every moments together.

But Kim Eunji slapped Nathan's hand when she felt it crawling towards her center.

"Stop it. I'm still sore!" Kim Eunji whined.

"I'm sorry. I can't help it. You are so hot that I could not stop myself to not be turned on." He reasoned.

"You're such a pervert!" Kim Eunji retorted.

"Only for you my love. Only for you." He kissed the top of her nose adorably.

"What time is it?" Kim Eunji asked him.

"It's already ten in the morning wifey." Nathan answered her.

"What?! Why didn't you wake me up!"

"Can you even stand up with your condition now?" Nathan teased her.

"Who's fault is it?" Kim Eunji fiercely asked him.

"Fine! My fault! But don't blame me when it's you who had been moaning my name like a melody. You're encouraging me to do you good."

Memories of their sweat-filled body resurfaced in Kim Eunji's mind and she could not stop herself from blushing.

Nathan's touches to her made her lose her senses.

It's scared her but at the same time, she liked it to the point that she wanted more of him.

Nathan could feel it too so he leaned towards her and captured her lips and kissed her passionately then down to her neck near her pulse point which earned a moan from her.

"Nathan~"

"Yes. Wifey. That's right. Moan for me. Yeah?"

And just like that, another round of steamy and passionate morning unfold inside their villa.

You could clearly guess the aftermath.

The couple decided to lock up themselves inside their villa as they're doing some mysteries inside.

Nathan was never joking when he said that he would work hard. He really did.

After resting for a while, they would do a couple pf rounds and would stop when both of them were very tired.

Kim Eunji could not feel the region in between her legs. She's still very sensitive down there that even wearing her underwear would make her squirm. Her breast were also so tender because of Nathan's continuous sucking.

The only consolation she had was that Nathan didn't leave many kiss marks just like the last time.

Kim Eunji also left plenty of kiss marks on her body which made her shy every time she looked at him. She didn't realize she could be this wild. Good thing their villa was pretty sound proof that no sound from the inside could be heard outside.

So when Derek told Iris that he left because he didn't want to hear their non-stop moaning, those were just exaggerations.

Call Nathan selfish but he didn't want even his subordinates to hear Kim Eunji's sexy moans.

It's already night time and they should be eating dinner but the two were still cuddling on top of their big bed.

"We should be eating now you know." Kim Eunji reminded him.

"We had finished eating moments ago. Do you want another round?" Nathan mischievously remarked which earned a smack from Kim Eunji.

"Baka! I want real food this time. We had barely eaten lunch earlier because you were so naughty to the point that we disrespected the food."

"Alright! Since my wife wanted real food...then it would be served right away." Nathan enthusiastically said.

Their food arrived an hour after.

Nathan insisted on feeding Kim Eunji while Nathan was being fed by her.

After their dinner, the couple decided to have an early night.

The following day, Kim Eunji still could not almost stood up because of being sore.

The girls were wondering where the couple could have been.

They keep pestering Iris to spill some teas but she was tight lip.

Their questions were answered when Kim Eunji and Nathan came out that Sunday evening.

Nathan assisted her as they walked towards the cafeteria hand in hand while Kim Eunji was using the crutches for support.

"I hate you!" Kim Eunji grumbled.

"I love you!" Nathan said as he kissed the top of her nose.

"Behave! We might trip if you'll keep doing that!" He scolded him but Nathan's smile grew even wider.

Kim Eunji also could not hide the smile that was coming out of her lips. Who wouldn't if you married the most charming man in the world?

However, that smile faded when Nathan, who was walking backwards lost his footing and tripped making him to fall down on the ground. And since he was holding Kim Eunji's hand, he also pulled her with him falling her on top of him.

"Nathan!" Kim Eunji screamed in panic when she snapped from shock.

She slowly got off from his body and checked him. She started to panic when she saw that Nathan's eyes was close.

She checked his pulse and sighed when it was okay. That he was still alive.

She then looked around and started to unbuckle his belt and loosened everything that would stop the air flow in his body.

However, no matter how she tried to wake him up, his eyes won't open.

"Hubby...please! Nathan!" She kept shaking his upper body but nothing changed. She now started to doubt her skills. Her heart were pounding heavily as she didn't know what to do. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She cleared her mind and regained her focus.

Kim Eunji then checked on his pulse and even gently lifted his head to check if there's some head trauma.

She heaved a sigh when she could only feel a slight bump at the back of his head.

She then removed his shoe and sock then tried to pinch it hard to induce pain. In her mind, if he was faking it, then he would wake up. When she felt a subtle movement on his fingers, she harshly put down his foot and decided to stand up.

"If you won't stop this act, I'll call my lawyer and terminate this marriage!" She threatened.

Nathan who had been faking passing out immediately stopped pretending as he opened his eyes.

"Wifey! I'm back! It's a prank!" He tried to joke but he knew Kim Eunji was mad.

"Get up!" Kim Eunji spoke in her mad tone which made Nathan to subconsciously gulp.

Nathan did. However, Kim Eunji turned around and gave him a cold shoulder.

Nathan could only inwardly cursed himself, 'Fuck!'
