Realization

Lily immediately ran after Chen because she can't left him in this condition. Chen sat at his car. Lily also sat at the car. Chen didn’t wanted to see Lily after her vile comments at him. " Get out of the car before I do something. "

" No, Chen. You're drunk. It's too late. You won’t go until you get a driver. "

Chen vision was blurry and his speech wasn’t clear due to excess consumption of alcohol but he won’t listen to Lily's recommendation. " Don’t fake pity me and get the hell out. "

Lily didn’t wanted to lose Chen " Please, Chen. I lost my parents and uncle and I can't lose you. " Lily bursted into tears.

" Why do you care about a life of a criminal ? " Chen was already exhausted he got out and sat at the passenger seat. Lily got a driver and Chen left.

Lily went back to sleep but the disappointing face of Chen couldn’t let her sleep. The whole night ended with her tossing and turning. She kept wondering how Chen was. But why can't she stop thinking about Chen ? He has a driver he'll be fine. Lily barely had any sleep.

In The Morning :

Chen didn’t came home. Lily missed having breakfast with Chen. Lily got used to the teasing of Chen. Lily's day seemed longer. She couldn’t found her bodyguard. She asked Maid Anna but she couldn’t answer Lily.

Lily's classes felt never ending. She met Ariana but her mind was in another place. Ariana noticed Lily's dark circles.

" You have some mad dark circles. "

" Yea, I couldn’t slept last night. "

Ariana teased Lily " So, the date night ended well. "

" Chen became angry at me and left last night. He didn't came home yet. "

Lily now mentions Chen's Mansion as home.

" Do you miss him ? "

Lily is in denial " No. I'm worried about him. "

" Why don’t you accept it ? "

" What are you implying, Ariana ? "

" That you like Chen. You miss him but don’t wanna admit it. "

" You're wrong. By the way did Taewoon called ? " Lily tried to change the topic.

Ariana sighed and gave her phone to Lily " He sent some messages. "

Taewoon's messages stated that Chen's a dangerous person and getting close to him means inviting death. Lily agreed with Taewoon but in her inner mind she knew Chen is much more than a Gang Leader.

Lily called Taewoon and told him about the situation with Chen.

Taewoon became shocked " It's unlike him. He's a aggressive guy. "

" I know. He's changed now. He's kinda angry with you but I'm sure he'll forgive you. "

" No Lily you don’t know him. It's the peace before the storm. Maybe he's planning something big. "

" No Taewoon. You don't know him. He's hurt."

" Lily you have a perfect chance. The bodyguard isn’t looking after you today. You can run away with me. I have some savings. We'll be free. "

" Stop it, Taewoon. What are you saying ? How can I run with you ? "

" I know you’re confused and this is not the best time to do this. But there's no tomorrow. I.. I like you a lot. "

" What...?

" Yes, I do. You can't handle Chen. He's like a time bomb. He can burst at any second. "

" But why now ? Why this time is the best ? "

" Because he lost interest in you. The fact that he didn’t let the bodyguard with you because he stopped caring. "

The words felt like someone stabbed Lily in the heart.

" Okay Taewoon I'll talk to you later. "

" But Lily don’t you wanna be free ? "

" I don’t know anymore. Just don't do anything stupid. "

Lily wanna be free but this isn't the right time. Chen and Taewoon are acting weird. Lily's now a mess. Doing nothing is the best solution. Lily doesn’t even know what she wants what she feels.

Lily came home. The house felt empty without Chen. Why isn’t he home yet ? Is he still angry with me ? She called Chen but he isn’t answering. Chen will come when he wants. He doesn’t listen to anyone.

Lily spent all her time in her room. She talked with Nina to clear her mind. Nina's not in a good condition either. Nina understood Lily's mixed feeling towards Chen.

It's Dinner Time :

Lily doesn’t want to eat without Chen. The maids are requesting Lily to eat but nothing works. In the end Lily sat at the dinner table but she isn’t eating. It was getting pretty late. Lily fell asleep sitting at the dinning table.

Chen arrived. He saw Lily sleeping at the dinner table without eating. He gave a death stare to the maids.

" Sorry, Master. Madame didn’t wanted to eat without you. She was waiting for you since morning. "

Chen was angry at Lily but after seeing her his heart melted. He put his hand on her head and patting her. Lily woke up.

" You came. I was waiting for you. Where were you ? "

" Do I have to ask for your permission to leave the house. Why are you sleeping here ? Are you trying to gain sympathy ? "

" I.. I missed you. Did you eat ? "

" It's late at night. Obviously I ate. "

" Ohh... " Lily is sad

" But I'm hungry again. "

Lily and Chen ate in peace. Lily felt comfortable with Chen. Lily and Chen completed each others misery.

After eating Lily apologised to Chen " I'm sorry. Last night my words were very harsh. I didn’t mean it. I hope you’re not angry with me anymore. "

" I know. You're regretting the words you said because you fell for me or you’re pretending. "

" What ? I didn’t fell for you. "

'' Then are you pretending ? "

" No. I mean.. Let's go to sleep. "

" Do you want to sleep with me ? "

" No. " Lily went to her room.

Lily thought about Chen. No matter how many times she denies the feelings for Chen. She can't stop it. She realized that she likes him. But falling for a Gang Leader means life imprisonment.

Will Lily be able to control her feelings for Chen or will she give in ?
