"What?!" Nayeon exclaims once Seungcheol discloses the news to her.

They are at the bar where she works at as a bartender. Seungcheol is sitting over the counter facing her.

"Should I get jealous of that reaction?" he asks.

"Come on, it's long been over with him."

But she's really surprised of the news. He watches her as she tries to cover it up but it's no good to him.

"You still want him?"

"What kind of question is that? Let's talk about this later, I'm busy. At home Seungcheol."

She attends to other customers and leaves him. He drinks his beer and just stares at her. He's definitely annoyed by her reaction. And she's definitely having that awesome smile on her face right now, it makes him tick.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

She looks livelier than usual and it really gets on his nerve. He's driving his car with her on the passenger's seat. She's all smiley and happy tonight. It's really frustrating that she still has some feelings towards Jeonghan after everything he's done for her. The thought angers him so he pulls over at some point of the road.

"Why are we stopping?" she asks.

Without a word, he goes over her and shoves his, taking her nape at the same as he gives her a deep kiss. She's his girl now, he won't allow her to think about any other guy.

But she struggles for the first time again tonight. She pushes him away quite hardly.

"What's wrong with you?! Just take me home will you?"

Now she's the one upset. She crosses her arms and doesn't look at him anymore. He's forced to get back to his seat and continues to drive the car away.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

But upon reaching home, all he does is throw the keys and grabs her to give her an ardent kiss. She hasn't even washed up, but he's too eager in making out with her that he dominates her entirely. She finds herself naked in no time and he's thrusting his way inside her without her consent. She lets him have his way with her though. It happens often that she's just getting used to it.

After an hour, she goes inside the washroom and washes up while he stays at the kitchen and grabs something to eat. Nayeon walks to him right after she cleanses and joins him in eating the left over pizza during lunch. She's still as perky as before though even after he just did her and Seungcheol is still a bit bothered by it.

"So let's talk about Jeonghan and Seunghee's break up," he starts.

"Yeah, I never thought she'd give him up after all that happened. I should've just pursued him more if I knew that would happen," she sounds like joking but it doesn't sound good to his ears.

"Maybe you should've done just that. I'm going home."

He throws the pizza he's eating back to the plate and walks out on her.

"Hey, where are you going? I was just joking!" she calls on him but he doesn't turn back and he even tosses the door hardly after leaving.

She pouts on it and just grabs a pizza, "Mr. Grumpy-man."

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Seungcheol thinks on it on his way home. He's still affected just thinking that Nayeon might still have some feelings for Jeonghan. He doesn't let it show but his insecurities have always been present. For the man that he is, he's just too tough to be a softie so takes it all on himself.

He passes by Jun's mansion and drops by for the night. It's been a while since he last stayed here. The guards let him in quickly for he is a familiar face. He paces through the large corridors again and finds Jun and Sorn in the living room, stuffing themselves with a pink cake.

"Oppa, welcome. Join us!" Sorn says. Offering him a piece of cake.

"You two cozying up here?" he remarks, sitting at one of the huge couches.

"What brought you hyung?" Jun inquires.

"Guess I'm not welcome here anymore. But your girlfriend just welcomed me!" he disses.

Jun chuckles at him, "I was just asking."

"I just had to wind up a little," he finally says.

"Are you having problems with Nayeon-shi?" Sorn instantly pops the question.

"What made you think that?" he replies. "Do I always have to be problematic about her?"

"That's not what I mean. It's just that your eyebrows crease," she points at it.

He smirks at her.

"That fits you more oppa," she replies with a smile

"Hey, stop that. Are you flirting with him infront of me?" Jun scolds.

"Can I flirt with some infront of you? Of course not," Sorn says.

"Then give me a kiss."

"Infront of oppa? No way!"

"Then after hyung leaves."

Sorn just shakes her head at his pettiness.

"Come on!" Jun still insists on it.

Seungcheol's ears just needs a break from these two, "Ahh!! Just get a room you two! I'm leaving!" He stands and walks away from them.

"Hyung! You haven't even had your dessert!" Jun calls to him.

"No thanks!" he shouts back and completely leaves the mansion.

"I bet he's distressed about Nayeon again," Sorn murmurs.

"Don't mind him. They'll get over it," Jun says.

"Yeah, what I'm really worried about now is Seunghee unnie."

Jun suddenly keeps silent, but then he cheers her up by embracing her on the side, "She'll be okay. She can get over it."

"I really hope so," she forces a sad smile at him and he kisses her forehead in return while caressing her arm.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

For a few more rounds, Seungcheol drives around the city. He just wants to calm down. Thinking about Nayeon takes every ounce of his patience. It's been a while since he mentioned Jeonghan to her and surprise, he gets this. It's been more than three months they're together and he has made every effort to make her forget about him. She's become submissive to him lately and he thought he was finally winning her over. But seeing her reaction earlier and how her mood shifted instantly makes him wanna go berserk. He's jealous to the core. Even though his friend doesn't have anything to do with it, even before he was still kinda vexed at him deep inside. He's concerned about him now, about how he's going through with his mêlée, but this jealousy is still getting the better of him.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

"Hey Cheol-ya," Nayeon sits beside him at this café, they're having lunch on a weekday.

Nayeon have enrolled for the semester but she chose another university. With this set up, they usually meet up during lunch and sometimes, he fetches her up at her campus at the end of the day.

"What do you think about this cake? Do you think it'll be easy to make? I've been searching for recipés but it's hard to find authentic ones," she mumbles.

"Why go through the troubles of baking one? You can easily buy some here," he comments.

"But I want to make one," she says pouting.

"Go ahead and punish yourself."

She notices he's been bad tempered a lot these past few days. She creases her eyebrows looking at him and asks him. "Why are you so grumpy these days? Did I do anything to make you mad? What's wrong with you?"

He doesn't respond and just continues eating.

"Hey, I'm asking you."

"Just eat your meal."

She shrugs her shoulders and let him be. It's seldom that he's like this. But she actually has an idea why. This is all because of Jeonghan she knows. But why doesn't he even want to listen her? She's getting mad but she completely understands him. So she obliges and shuts up.

On the other hand, he stays silent from then. In short, he doesn't really want to talk about it with her.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

For a few more days, Seungcheol is still hung up on the thought that Nayeon is still in love with Jeonghan. Even though Jeonghan left, and they barely know where he is right now, he's still thinking about his insecurities. It's an unreasonable thought, but he can't help himself. He loves Nayeon. And everything that concerns her is top priority for him.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Nayeon called Seungcheol earlier to drop by at her place. It's still a little early so he wonders why she did. When he reaches the place, he enters like always used to and finds a red heart-shaped cake on her kitchen table.

"What's with the cake?" he asks.

"It's our 100th day today! Happy 100th Seungcheol-ya!" she cheerfully greets him.

He's at a loss for words. He was in so much dilemma these past few days only to have this? She was actually only thinking about surprising him. He even forgot that they have to celebrate this day. This very important day. He only smirks to himself, feeling shamed and content at the same time.

She knew he was troubled about the thought of Jeonghan still invading her system these past few days. They haven't been together long enough but she has grown to love him for who he is. Most especially when he's with her. She's blessed to have him in her life. There's no one else who'd save a fallen angel like her. He's done so much for her and she can't thank him enough. He's just doesn't know that he completely erased every inch of feelings she has for Jeonghan just because he's there.

She walks over him and gives him a tight embrace, "You're the only one I think about so don't worry about it and I don't have time for others since you have it all." She faces him and stares at him lovingly, "Now I can finally say this to you, I love you. I love you Choi Seungcheol."

He smiles whole-heartedly at her and he feels overwhelmed.

"It took me 100 days but at least I did. Jeonghan's name doesn't bother me anymore. I can say it no matter how many times and don't feel a thing. But when I say you're name I cringe."

"You cringe? Why's that?"

"Because you give me goose bumps everytime you hold me and kiss me and make love to me. It's the greatest feeling in the world!" She giggles and he kisses her.

"I'm sorry," he sincerely utters.

"Nope. There's nothing to say sorry about. I understand you. And I'll understand you more so don't you give up on me like Seunghee did with Jeonghan okay?"

"It's actually the other way around. Jeonghan was the one who broke up with her."

"Is that so? Hm... Never mind. Let's just talk about that some other time. I don't want to ruin your mood."

"Yeah."

"Let's eat the cake?"

"Sure."

She looks like a little kid, excited to have a birthday cake. It makes him feel bad that he touches her everytime and she doesn't even tell him off.

"Nayeon-ah," he starts.

"Hm?" she's busy slicing the cake.

"From now on, if you don't want to have sex just tell me."

"What? Why that now?"

"I just want to make it up to you. All those times I only wanted to lay you down."

"Can you wait for me to lay you down myself instead?"

"I'll try."

"Alright. I hope you can wait an entire season cuz I plan to do it seasonally."

He gulps his mouth waters after hearing that. It seems he'll have to take care of himself quarterly. He can't imagine doing that but he has to. He already gave her his word. She notices him in deep thought and bursts out laughing. He stares at her confused.

"I was just joking. In fact, I have the bed ready for tonight. But I guess you don't-"

"I do! I always do! Please don't deprive me of my rights."

She can't help laughing. She loves him so much there's no way she'll deny him of anything.

"But we have to finish this cake okay? I tried so hard to bake this."

"Yeah. Happy 100th Nayeon-ah."

She only smiles her sweetest and they grab their forks and celebrate the night away. But when they get to taste the cake, they both have the same undesirable expression.

Before he opens his mouth and utters something she'd rather not hear she says, raising her fork at the same time, "Ah! Don't say a word. I'll clean this up."

She's about to stand but he grabs her wrist and pulls her, "No, I'm finishing this. Just make it a little sweeter next time okay?"

"Are you sure?"

"100%" he smiles at her and starts eating the cake.

She pouts but smiles later. He's doing it just not hurt her pride. But it's really inedible. If he suffers from stomachache later, she'll take good care of him. She promises. She watches him lovingly as he gobbles the food down. He's having a hard time but he tries his best. And this is the picture of the bad wolf who saved the fallen angel today.
