Normal ?

Everything was getting back to normal. Nia's leg injury healed. Kris didn't need to replace Nia's place in work anymore. Nia was again focusing on her studies and practices. Marie was leaving out from Kris's house.

" Guess her charm didn’t worked on Kris. "

In School :

Lyla and Nia hugged each other " How I missed you so much ! "

Nia started laughing " You saw me everyday after school. "

Nia can't live without her friends.

During Recess :

Nia was practising but she couldn’t keep up with Myungsoo.

" Hey, what happened ? "

" I don’t know. You're going too fast. "

" No, you got slow. "

Nia sat down after being tired " Few days without practice and I lost my speed. "

" Nia, you'll get back again. " said Lyla

Nia started patting her stomach " It hurts. "

Nia with her tired body went on with her day. After school she was working with Myungsoo in the restaurant. Nia was struggling. Myungsoo noticed it.

" You seem tired. I'll do the rest. "

" No, I'm fine. " Nia was on her period

It was Nia's time to take the order. She was shocked to see Kris and Marie sitting together. It looked like they were on a date.

" What would you like to have ? " Nia said with a forced smile

" Oh, Nia. So glad to see you. I wasn’t expecting you here. " said Marie with a fake smile

" I work here. You forgot Kris filled in my place for a week. "

" I guess I forgot. "

Nia left after taking the order.

" We didn’t have to come here. " said Kris to Marie

" I also wanted to meet Nia. "

" Why did you say then you forgot she works here ? And you two aren’t close. "

Marie put her hand on top of Kris's hand " That's how girls are. We are not so simple minded. Anyways let's not talk about Nia. Let's talk about us. "

Nia saw it. Whether it was her period or something else she was angry. So angry that she could kill someone.

Kris removed Marie's hand from his " So, what's your plan ? "

" I got a flat near this neighbourhood. "

" But your agency is far away. "

" I know but I wanna stay close to you. "

" What ? "

" Kris, I can't pretend anymore. I like you. "

" Sorry, Marie. I don’t like you in that way. " Kris got up immediately

Marie got furious " Kris, you’re insulting me. "

" I'm just stating the truth. "

" Kris, I'm noticing the changes in you. Did this girl seduced you ? " Marie pointed at Nia

Nia was shocked at those allegations.

Kris got angry " Don't blame anyone just because you can't handle rejection. "

Kris came to Nia " Sorry. Because of me... "

" It's not your fault. Just tell her not to make a scene here. "

" Kris, she's a kid yet you chose her over me. Why do you steal him from me Nia ? "

Kris dragged Marie from the restaurant. Everybody was looking at Nia with judging eyes. They thought she broke their relationship.

Myungsoo held Nia's hand " Why do you drag yourself with those people's messes ? "

" They're gone now. "

After Nia's shift ended she got ready to leave but there was a person who came to meet Nia. She thought it was Kris but it was Hyunjin.

" Why are you here ? "

" I know. I shouldn’t be here but I couldn’t stop myself. I want to know the truth. My mom didn’t told us anything. You are close to that guy. You know everything. "

" So...."

" Tell me everything. "

" I can't. It's not my place. Kris trusted me and told his secrets to me. I won’t tell you. "

" I don’t care about that guy. It's not like I'll meet him. Tell me everything. "

" Just because Kris won’t know that I told you his secrets I still won't betray him. "

" Do you like him ? You guys seem really close. "

" That's my business. Listen, I'm really tired. I'll leave now. "

As Nia was leaving Hyunjin grabbed her hand " Nia, please listen... "

Nia looked at him with annoyed face. Myungsoo came for Nia's rescue. He held Hyunjin's hand tightly so that he leaves Nia.

" Listen boy never touch Nia again. "

Myungsoo and Nia went together.

" You don’t need to drop me home. "

" Nia, How can I not be worried for you ? You get yourself in trouble all the time. You have to be careful. "

" Okay, Master Myungsoo. I'll obey you. "

Nia reached home. After having dinner she realised she ran out of period products. She didn’t wanted to disturb her mother and brother that's why she went without telling anyone but it was no problem for her because she used to walk after dinner. She left the flat to saw Kris was getting out. Both were confused. The situation was getting awkward due to the incident with Marie.

" You're going out so late. " said Kris

" You too. "

" Yea, I needed some groceries for tomorrow. What do you want ? Let me get it for you. Don't go out this late. "

" No, I'll get it myself. "

" What's the problem ? Tell me what do you want. "

" You won't understand. "

" What are you saying ? "

" I need period products. You'll get confused what to buy. "

" Then let's go together. I'll get familiar with these things then next time I'll buy you these products. "

Nia on her inner mind " Ah, Kris is so nice. His girlfriend will be so lucky. "

Kris and Nia walked together. Nia felt safe with Kris on her side.

Does Kris really like Nia or he's just treat her like a nice friend ?
