Confrontation With The Rival

Nia woke up with her injured body. Her eomma was pissed off.

" I'm sorry, eomma. I'll be careful and take care of myself from next time. Don't be so angry. "

" I'm not angry at you. "

Nia got confused. " Who can make her angry except me ? "

" What happened ? "

" I don’t thought Kris was a good guy but I was wrong. "

" What did he do ? "

" His girlfriend is staying with him in his apartment without my permission. Here I thought I could pair him up with my cousin's daughter. "

Nia turned upside down " Girlfriend ? Living together ?...."

Nia got out and knocked on the door. She was praying that her mom was wrong but she wasn’t. Marie opened the door in her pajamas.

" Hi, Nia. " She had a devil smirk on her face claiming that she have won.

" What are you doing here ? "

" I should ask this question. But I'll answer you. I'm staying with Kris. Now, you tell what brings you here this early morning ? "

" That's between me and Kris. "

Marie started laughing " You're so funny. There's nothing between you and Kris. Stop dreaming. "

" What do you know ? You're not more than a friend to him. "

" That's why I'm standing in his apartment and you’re outside. Just go and do your homework, sweetie. You're not more than a kid to Kris. "

Marie slammed the door. Though the words hurt Nia a lot still she got to know the reality.

On the other hand....

Kris took the shift of Nia because she's injured. Myungsoo was burning in fire " What does that Kris want to prove by helping Nia ? Is he impressing him ? "

Myungsoo felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Kris.

" You're late. "

Kris looked confused " I don’t think so. "

" You can't question me. I'm your boss. Here wash these dishes. " Myungsoo was bossing Kris. Kris didn’t mind and was working diligently. He looked handsome even in a waiter's uniform. The fellow waitresses started whispering seeing him.

" Oh, God. Is he a model ? So handsome. I thought Myungsoo was the most handaome but he's on another level. "

Myungsoo hit them on the head " Stop gossiping and work. "

" He didn’t used to behave like that. He's jealous because we gave the title of the most handsome to the new guy. "

Myungsoo was getting furious " Ah, he's making all the girls fall for him. "

The shift ended

" Hey.. " said Myungsoo

" Yeah... "

" Why are you helping Nia ? You study in a University. You must be really busy. Yet you took time to help Nia out of the way. "

" She's my friend. She needs my help. I should do what I can. "

" Nobody do that for just a friend. Is she very special to you. "

Kris had a smile on his face " She's more than special. "

Myungsoo in his inner mind " Does he like her ? "

Kris came home and talked with Nia's mother.

" Hello, Auntie, Is Nia in her room ? "

" No, she's in the terrace. I told her not to go but she didn’t listen. By the way I'm angry with you. "

" Is it because of my friend ? I'm sorry. I should've asked you first but she needed my help. She'll leave in a few weeks. "

" It's okay, Kris. A sweet talker like you convinced me. "

" Really.. I guess you're generous. "

Nia was in the terrace. She uses crutches so that she won’t put pressure on her ankle. She brought her guitar. She needed her time to think. She was singing 'Stay' by Blackpink

" Stay... Stay with me... "

A guitar string broke " Ah, you also left me. "

It was cheap guitar but it was with Nia for a long time. She practiced with it everyday.

A sweet voice called her " Nia, what are you doing here ? "

Nia didn’t wanted to tell how she felt " Just practicing.. "

" Come down. Let's go home. "

That statement felt so personal. So close. Kris offered her hand. With his help Nia got down. For a second their faces got closer. Kris didn’t noticed it.

Nia in his inner mind " Every time we get close. It feels nothing happens to him. He thinks of me like a child. "

" How was today ? Did Myungsoo annoyed you ? " Nia tried to change the topic

" He's bossy. "

" He is. I saw Marie. She's staying with you. My eomma is angry with you. "

" Marie needed my help. I talked with your eomma. I managed to convince her. "

Nia in her inner mind " Help. My ***. That girl wants to be with Kris and challenge me. "

" Only you can convince her because you’re so sweet. "

Kris picked up Nia's guitar " The strings of it broke. "

" Yeah.. It was old. I'll do something about it. "

Marie saw Nia and Kris coming together from the terrace. She ran towards Nia " Oh, Nia. You're so injured. Let me help me. "

" What's her deal ? She saw me in the morning and didn’t said anything. " Nia on her inner mind

" I'll be fine. "
