I stretch my arms over my head, glad the personal hell of running errands for Kim is over. What kind of woman hates doing the business part of running a cafe? It doesn’t help that the blistering heat is draining. I drop my arms to the side and frown at the flowers near the trash pile. The same flowers I have been getting every week.
“What in the hell?" I mutter before I open the door to the cafe.
Millie is up in Kang's face, her face a mask of fury. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
"I would like to ask you that question," Kang asks with his tongue in his cheek as he crosses his arms. "He already shot you down. You shouldn't be doing all of this."
She scoffs. "So I can't send him flowers? Why not?"
"He's taken."
"He said he wasn't," she shoots back. "I know how you look at him. Do you honestly think you have a chance against me?"
Kang laughs but the sound comes out in a mocking way. "I do. That's my boyfriend."
"Oh, you're hilarious. I'm sorry, but Morgan would never like someone like you."
Kang's face grows dangerous. "Someone like me? What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean," Millie snaps.
Kim steps between them. "You need to leave, now."
"Not until I see Morga," she growls.
Kang waves towards me. "Leave. She doesn't need to ask you twice."
I watch her hand move. Smack. Kang's cheek starts to turn red. I lunge forward, yanking her back from him.
"Who do you think you are?"
"M-M-Mor-Morgan," she stutters. "He was saying disgusting stuff-"
Pushing her towards the door, I snarl, "Leave and don't ever come back or I'll call the cops." Turning to Kang, I rub his cheek. "Are you okay?"
I can see the fury in his eyes but he nods. "I'm fine."
Kim grabs Millie and drags her out of the cafe. I grab Kang's hand and pull him after me as we leave the cafe.
"You would choose him over me?" she shrieks. People are staring at us in confusion and interest as she begins to cause a scene.
Some start pulling their phones out to record the situation. I hold Kang's hand up for everyone to see. "Yes."
"You...you..."
"Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Lee Kangsu from Wish. If you ever lay your hands on him again, you will regret it." I clench my teeth. Then just to piss her off even more, I pull Kang's head to me, kissing him with everything I have. We are already busted so I might as well let everyone know that I am serious. Whatever happens now, I will do it with Kang. He won't be alone. Never again.

Five million likes and the whole world doesn't know if they love or hate me. As I read through the comments on the viral video of us kissing, I can't stop myself from chuckling. Kang keeps running his hands through my hair. I’m lying on his chest on the back porch as streaks of lightning outline the storm clouds. It’s going to rain but I don’t mind.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Apparently your fans have hacked Millie's profile on Facebook and Twitter. She's been completely exposed in every media outlet she has. I've forgotten how powerful your fans are. You don't mess with the Wish boys."
He grins. "At least not all of them hate you."
"Only half. I think it's because I get to cuddle you and they can't." I roll over, leaning over him. "I would be jealous too. Have you seen your body?"
He makes a humming noise. "More than I'd like." He runs a hand down my back. "So, what's the plan for today? We only have a few days left."
"I just want to stay here and stare at my beautiful man."
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea."
As the raindrops hit us, I drop my head until our noses touch. He rubs his against mine and I marvel at how happy I am with him. Nothing can stop us. I’m ready to conquer the world for this man and I know he will do the same for me.
