love is a four letter word

a/n: Guys! I'm so so so sorry about the late update /sobs/ My schedule is really loaded because I'm a High School Senior right now and I have so many responsibilities. Please be patient with my updates. Thanks for the 7 upvotes and the increasing number of subscribers! ♥ Saranghaeyo~

Kai and Krystal are still at their honeymoon stage. Everything is so perfect. Until.... Krystal becomes the green-eyed monster this time. A transfer student named Wendy Shon was buying lunch for herself when she met Kai.

Kai had his typical straight face while lining up at the cafeteria. There were no hostilities this time since the school 'kingka' Byun Baekhyun has mellowed down ever since he decided to court his long time enemy Kim Taeyeon. Then, a girl with long straight locks highlighted with blue came along. Noticing her strange hairstyle, Kai looked at her.

"Um, new student?", he asked.

Wendy nodded. "Yes."

"Blue hair isn't allowed in this school.", Kai said, acting like Chanyeol the hot-headed sunbae of every student in Iris High.

"Ne, I know. Sorry. I just came from Canada. It's a really long trip and I had to go to school immediately. I'm sleep-deprived right now.", Wendy explained.

Kai bowed. "Mian. I took you too seriously."

"It's okay.", Wendy said.

"I'm Kim Jong In. Kai for short.", Kai introduced himself.

"I'm Wendy. Wendy Shon.", she offered her hand for him to shake. Kai shook it. Just then, Krystal came along like a wild tiger.

"Kim Kai. Done ordering lunch?", Krystal shot a bloody stare at the two of them.

Kai took his tray and bowed at Wendy. "See you around."

"I prefer you should not see her around, Kai.", Krystal said.

Wendy felt tension because of what Krystal said. It's just her first day and now she's having issues. She kept her head down.

"Krystal, stop it. Wendy was just being nice to me. She's a new student and as an old student, I should welcome her.", Kai explained.

"Whatever. You... girl. Watch out.", Krystal threatened Wendy.

"That's enough! If you keep on acting like that, I won't tolerate you anymore.", Kai told her in an agitated tone.

Wendy took her tray and wondered what she could do for the couple. "I'm sorry to interrupt your lovers' quarrel, but Miss Jung... I have no intention to steal Kai-ssi away. It's my first day here and I'm adjusting to the environment here. Sorry if I ruined your moment. I'll take my leave now."

Seeing Wendy's politeness, the boys around the cafeteria had their eyes on her. Krystal was humiliated.

"I love you. You know that.", Kai caressed her face.

"I'm sorry.", Krystal bit her lip.

Kai hugged her. The students went crazy for them. Wendy smiled at them, relieved that she did not cause any trouble.

Lay invited Yuri over at a coffeeshop downtown. Hearing about the news regarding his mother, he wanted to tell Yuri how greatful he is. Yuri came along, wearing a black & white dress. She waved at Lay, who was waiting for her.

"Am I not late?", Yuri asked. Lay stood up and pulled out a chair for her.

"No. You're just in time.", Lay told her.

The two looked at each other. Yuri laughed under her breath. She couldn't help but notice the awkward air between them. Breaking her silence, she asked Lay why he invited her over.

"This is not a date, but if you feel like it's one... you may call it a date. I invited you as a thank you for keeping the secret about my mother.", Lay said.

"No prob. You didn't have to do this. But about what you said earlier.... I can call this a date?", Yuri cleared herself out.

"I guess."

"Lay, you're kidding me. Right?"

"No. Seriously. I know you've always known me as the introvert but I think you're pretty interesting. And I'd be glad if you would hang out with me."

Yuri blushed. She did not expect this all along. "Lay, you've got no idea."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know how to say this. But I like you. And that's why I tried to befriend you."

"I like you too. But right now, my Mom is my priority. I should take care of her first more than anything. That's why I cannot assure you that we should jump to the label stuff. I just want to get to know you more."

"I understand. Proposal accepted."

Lay tapped his fingers on the table. "Soon, we Seniors will be having our last trip together. I think I'll tell everyone about my Mom then."

"Why? You can just keep it, you know.", Yuri replied.

"Chanyeol and Suho are suspicious about my life already. They've viewed me as a mystery and I couldn't help but feel guilty every time they ask me about my life. I know so much about them. I know so much about the other guys and gals in Iris High. But me?"

"You don't have to expose it."

"But it's a lie. I always told them Mom runs a business... this and that. I did not tell them the truth. My uncle told me that I should be a man of honor."

"Well... you're right. I can offer you a hand whenever you need it."

"Thanks, Yuri. I owe you a lot."

"No. When it comes to you.... I'm always here."

"Me too. Always here will be our temporary I love you.", Lay suggested.

Yuri smiled. "The Fault In Our Stars?"

"Boys watch it, too. Don't worry.", Lay jokingly said.
