Night. 1:30 minutes.

The party is over long ago. My birthday has passed.

After a whole night, I was exhausted, but still couldn't rest——

"You've noticed it a long time ago, haven't you?"

I stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, my eyelids slightly closed, my thick eyelashes casting a beautiful shadow. I had not yet changed out of my dress, which looked dim and golden in the dim light.

"I did know it from the beginning."

He was sunk deeply into the single sofa, his head hanging slightly, his golden bangs covering his face and his deep eyes.

"Haha..." I sneered. What does this mean?

He had known it for a long time, knew everything, yet he allowed her to be by his side.

How much of a fool did I do in all this?! Idiot - to the extreme.

I should have realized earlier that with his ability, how could he not know anything... He was just pretending not to know.

"Lian'er..."

He called softly, low and hoarse. Slow footsteps sounded, and warm breath hit my neck... He stretched out his arms and hugged me from behind.

Lover...

How long has it been since anyone called me like this...

"Lee Heechul. You already knew...heh, you're pretending so well." I closed my eyes, covering up all my emotions and suppressing my heart.

"I love you." His chin rested on my left shoulder, and his lips were right next to my ear.

"..."

"I don't love her...she's just a sister..."

"..."

"All my love is given to you..."

Open your eyes. The night is very dark. Occasionally there will be wind, rustling the branches on the trees. The light is very dim...

"But you lied to me." After a long time, I spoke in a very soft voice, light and a little aggrieved.

"I don't want you to misunderstand." He explained.

"I have never regarded An Zisha as a friend...I have been dealing with her all the time. Since you know, why don't you help her?" I pursed my lips and continued.

"Because you like to play -" he said, with a smile in his tone.

Because I love to play, so you keep letting it go and pretend not to know?

I raised the corners of my mouth slightly.

"And..." he continued, "I like to see you like that. Because it makes me feel that you love me very much!"

"You bastard!" My smile froze, and I turned around to face him angrily, punching him hard in the abdomen... Damn it, for this reason.

The hand that hit his abdomen was cut off halfway and wrapped in his palm.

Warmth passed from his palm to mine. My heart suddenly skipped a beat. I could clearly feel that there was a hot sight above my head...

He raised his head and looked at him, lost in thought.

He had a naughty smile, his deep eyes were full of endearment, his golden bangs half covered his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were raised in an evil way... His whole person was as evil as Satan.

I unknowingly forgot how to react. Damn it, why am I acting like a nympho...

I looked down upon myself fiercely and raised my eyebrows, "You have to make it up to me."

"Okay." He nodded and agreed without hesitation, but with a mischievous smile on his face.

I looked at him doubtfully. Did he agree so easily?

While I was still wondering, my body suddenly vacated. He picked me up and walked straight to the bed.

"What are you doing?" I looked at him puzzled.

He threw me on the bed...yes, it was "throw"! "Throw" without mercy!!

Then--

He pressed on me and placed his hands on both sides of my head.
