Chenle's suit that was thrown to the ground before he lunged into the pond is now being wrapped around Xiao Yue.

Right beside each other, the two is taking a ride back home. One is still trembling from the traumatic event that happened to the three of them.

Xiao Yue discovered her fear of heights.

The scene of her body slicing through air is playing like a broken tape inside her head. Teary eyed, feet colder than it should be.

Fortunately, she can feel a slight ease with the intertwined fingers of the pair. Chenle still hasn't let go of her fingers eversince he carried her inside the car.

"I should've brought you guys a spare clothes," Hrvy said with regrets.

Chenle said, cursing under his breath.

"S-sorry," Hrvy responded.

Chenle cursed for the second time.

"I'm sorry," Hrvy repeated his apology.

The anger is bubbling inside Chenle, caused both by the Hwangs and Hrvy.

i cursed for the second time.

A familiar pang of pain is growing inside my head, a warning before Arte is present.

I put my fingers on my temples, putting pressure on it slightly. If only Hrvy had brought spare clothes like he used to, this girl wouldn't be trembling to death beside me.

i said to Hrvy.

"Will do."

I glance at the girl beside me. She is still sniffling through her red nose, lips pursing out slightly. Such a contrast to her blood splattered complexion that day.

"Pathetic," Arte spoke inside my head.

i muttered under my breath.

"Just you wait-"

I almost become disoriented.

I tighten my grip on the girl's hand, weirdly giving ease to my headache. I close my eyes as Hrvy pulled over to the store.

My ears are as numb as the other senses on my body. Chenle is holding my hand, tighter than before. Warmth being concealed within our tangled hands.

Hrvy is parking in front of a clothing store with a big neon sign, Iriñe. The boy then hurryingly sprint inside the store, tripping over nothing on the way there. Hrvy looked more scared and nervous than me. Possibly because Chenle is practically fuming right now.

Chenle is closing his eyes, leaning his head back to the cushioned seats. His strong facial features emit the emotion inside his chest.

No longer than two minutes, Hrvy comes running to the car, holding towels and a pair of flat shoes on his hands.

"The clothes are ready," Hrvy informed the two of us.

I wiggle my legs, guessing if they are capable of walking.

"Can you walk?" Hrvy asked.

Chenle gets out of the car and walk to my side. He holds firmly to my wrists as i take a step out while placing myself inside the flat shoes.

"Thanks," i said to Chenle with my finally coherent voice.

I take another step, this time fully on my own. I'm not exactly incapable of walking on my own.

But i'm significantly slower than normal.

"Ah!"

I screamed when Chenle suddenly swoops my body on his arms and walk inside the room to change. I hide my face with my palms when i noticed the workers inside the store is squealing over the two of us.

"Oh my god, look at them!"

"Is this a movie?"

"I'm too single to deal with this sight."

Chenle kept on walking.

Chenle puts me down once we get inside a dressing room. He left after pointing a pile of clothes on the desk.

I lay my fingers on my drenched dress, removing the parts one by one. I then proceed to change without any problems.

"Are you done?" Hrvy asked behind the wooden door.

"Yeah."

The door knob turns. Hrvy is there with Jeno.

"Xiao Yue, are you alright?" Jeno asked, his usual cheerful self absent from the moment.

"I'm good, when did you arrive?" i asked.

"Hrvy called me, you wouldn't believe that he almost cried while calling me," Jeno teased the now rosy boy, instantly smiling ear to ear.

"No i'm not," Hrvy denied Jeno's statement.

"Sure, as long as Xiao Yue is okay, it doesn't really matter," Jeno said.

Chenle that appeared by the door said.

He glance at me one more time before saying,

His eyes still darkened by anger. So much so that the room turned cold as soon as i met his eyes.

It has been three days after the incident.

Chenle had finished the Hwangs within a day. Collapsing an entire company as easy as flicking his fingers. The girl that i met that day, Hwang Zi Yi, was inside this house, not long before her body was coated in a layer of blood.

As an exchange of her life, the head of the Hwang company agreed to give in. Though, i'm sure the girl is wounded to the point i don't think she will last another year.

I'm sitting inside the library now. The window curtains are all closed. Eversince the incident the curtains on the second floor are always closed. Chenle ignored me when i asked him the reason.

The mentioned boy is sitting in front of me now. He dyed his orange hair to a bluish black. He is chuckling on his own while staring at the dropping stock graph.

Chenle said.

He talks a lot more to me these days. Only about work though.

"Aren't you going to tang them today?"

Tang is our inside slang for tangible, meaning turning the profit into cash from the bank. Mainly to avoid loss if the plan were to fail.

He nods while still smiling. Chenle is immersed in the graphs not long after. I put my phone down and stare at him. This is a new hobby of mine.

Secretly admiring his face.

"Chenle," i call him.

He looks up at me. His dark toned hair frames his face. His lips made a tiny bow parallel to his breathtaking stare. He is undoubtedly stunning.

"Your face is phenomenal."
