Chapter 7: Not Again!

She doesn't bother changing from the clothes she woke up in when going out. Kira feels that putting Dae in his place is the most important thing in her life currently. She hails herself a Taxi that would take her to the studio. Along the way she sees posters of her boss everywhere, a lot of people are looking forward to his upcoming album, no wonder he was trending. To her, it was a nightmere seeing that Devil's face everywhere. Even in her dreams he hunts her, literally

' Calm down. You'll settle the score with him today. And after that you'll probably never see the asshole ever again '

She was able to calm down after having this thoughts. Traffick wasn't bad today, so she was able to arrive in the studio in a few minutes. She marches through the halls of the Luxurious building and goes to the dance room where she knows she would find her boss.

Dae was with his Manager. He was sipping from his bottle of water while nodding to whatever the older man was saying. Kira stood at the door and observed him for a very long time. In her heart she though bitterly about what a waste Dae's good looks were, if only he was a descent person then she would still have a crush on him till now. Her eyes were burning with hatred. Dae must have sensed her gaze on him, he met her eyes and the usual sly smirk found it's way across his face. Seeing him like this brought images of her strange dream back on her mind. This Dae doesn't have a Dragon by his side, so what exactly was she afraid of?

Kira marched forward. There were other people in the dance room, their attention was drawn to her quickly.

" Well " Dae says when she stands in front of him. His Manager had taken several steps back, not wanting to be involved in the round of bullying that he suspected was about to begin. " My coffee?"

Not today bitch!

Kira raised her hand and slapped him across the face as hard as she could. The sound echoed in the room. Dae's face had tilted to the side due to the impact of her hit, Kira admired the handprint that bloomed on his white face. He turned to look at her, his dark grey eyes were wide with shock, it was a look that gave her much satisfaction.

" You, Dae-Soon are a Mother fucking Bitch! You are the worst person I have ever had the displeasure of knowing in my life! You have a special place reserved in hell, I just know it! " She takes several steps back and declares in a dramatic way " Today, I cut all ties with you. I hope to never see you again!"

Dae's shock melted away and it was replaced by a smile. " Caterpillar, are you quitting? "

" Obviously! "

" You think you can survive out there? Without me and this job?"

" You can watch me motherfucker! I'll get a job that pays much more and gives me less bullshit than this one " She turns around and walks out of the room, brushing roughly pass the people who stood in her way.

Dae crossed his hands and watched Kira's retreating back ontil it was out of sight. His expression was calm, there was no trace of anger in his eyes regarding the slap. Seeing that Dae wasn't likely to lash out, the Manager drew closer to him. " Should I go threaten her?" He knew how unwilling his boss was to let this woman go. It's been so many years, and nothing has changed

" No need " He said " She'll come back herself "

* * *

Kira went to the Cafe across the street from the studio and treated herself to some Delicious desserts. Afterall, she deserved this princess treatment with all the bullshit she had been putting up with. Finally, she was free from that maniac, and it was all thanks to that strange dream.

When she was done eating, she came out of the Cafe and was prepared to take a taxi back home. Her phone suddenly rang, she frowned when she saw the caller ID, she was reluctant to pick up

" Hello, Dad?"

Her father didn't acknowledge her greeting and said directly " Your mother is sick again, I've used almost all the money we have. From next month, you will take over her monthly Hospital bills "

Bills? What? Wouldn't she need money for that? And knowing her mother's illness, she knew she would need a lot of money. With only a Highschool Degree, where the hell would she get a high paying job that would give her that amount? The only reason she was even able to survive so far was because Dae paid her much more than any other worker in the studio, bar his Manager

" Dad I...I actually don't have the money "

" You don't need to have money now, You can come when you receive your salary "

Kira has a bad feeling where this would lead. " I...I just quit my job today "

There was a long moment of silence from the other line before she heard the man sigh. For nearly fifteen minutes, she listened to him scolding her to the point that she wanted to shed tears of misery. At the end, Kira finds herself dragging her feet back to Dae's studio. His manager told her that he was in the restroom, and Kira immediately went there to see him. It's good If she doesn't beg him to take her back in front of everyone else.

Dae was washing his hands when she came into the bathroom. He raise his face and looked at her through the bathroom mirror. Above the mirror was a picture of him with several dart embedded on it. This was the same bathroom he had given her for her personal use. Where she took out her frustration.

" Dae..." Kira trailed off, not knowing exactly what the hell she was supposed to say. This would have been so much easier if she hadn't slapped him. " I...I didn't mean to say all those stuff i... "

" You want your job back "

He knows her so well, It's horrible. " I need it back, Mom is..."

" Okay " Damnit! Stop interrupting her! " You can have it back "

" What? Really? " Just like that...he was willing to give her back her job even after she cursed and slapped him.

Kira watched him dry his hands, his gaze was still fixed on her reflection through the mirror. When he finally turned and made his way towards her, Kira was quick to realize that nothing came easy with this man. Suddenly, she was trapped against the wall with both of Dae's hand caging her. His face was too close to her's for comfort. What the hell was wrong with this motherfucker?!

" You test my patience, it would be so much better if I can fire you myself " Dae says in annoyance. Kira tries to move away but he grabs her face, squooshing her cheeks. He watches her with a serious expression, as if trying to solve a complicated puzzle. Then he let's go of her face and guide the palm of her hand to his reddened cheek, the place she had hit him. " But that slap " His eyes glazed over, Kira was too stunned to pull her hand away. " Do it again "

Mesochist!

" What are you talking about?"

" Caterpillar, I've been waiting for you to realize something for 8 years now, Are so stupid that you can't see it? "

Kira doesn't see shit. Dae was crazy, sometimes she was almost certain he had mental issues. However, his words reminded her of the very same thing he had said to her when they were much younger.

Dae had tripped her and she had fallen and bruised her knees. He had looked at her with contempt and said..." Don't you realize it now?"

What? What was she not realizing?

" I need to go, my mom is in the hospital. Please, I need to go see her. I promise I'll come to work early tomorrow "

Dae studies her momentarily before giving her dismmisive wave, Kira hurries out of the bathroom and the building like the devil was on her trail. Her mind was so occupied with the events that had transpired that she hadn't paid attention to where she was going.

" Ma'am, watch out!" Someone yelled out. But it was too late, When Kira paid attention she had already collided with the bike. She hit her forehead on something and her vision momentarily blanked.

Kira heard someone calling for her as she rubbed her forehead, wondering how weird it was that the pain she had felt just now had faded away. She pried her eyes open and was stunned to see a familiar figure. She was on a bed, and the person was placing a bowl of traditional medicine on the table.

" This will help with Your Amnesia " Moon said, looking a bit cold and distant.

Kira stared at him for a long time, and then down at her body which was clad in sleeping robes. She couldn't help the devastated scream that escaped her.

" Noooooo!!!! "
