Chapter 28: Unwilling accomplice
"Yeri Zhi, I knew you're acting different lately, but I didn't think you'd dive headfirst into your 'rebellious phase!'" Nina hissed. "Do you not care about your face anymore?"
"I didn't bring him here!" Yeri whispered furiously. "He barged in on his own last night. Look again—do you really think I could drag someone like that in here by myself?"
Nina narrowed her eyes at her, clearly unconvinced, but turned her gaze to the man sleeping soundly in Yeri's bed.
Yeri dabbed a damp towel across Shin's forehead one last time. 'Just a bit longer', she silently pleaded.
Seeing Nina's brain visibly buffering, Yeri decided to drop the bomb. "It's CEO Shin Keir."
Nina's jaw dropped. She stood frozen for a beat, and as if someone's after her life— bolted toward the door.
Yeri pounced, clinging to her like a desperate octopus.
The two grappled. Nina, who'd learned karate since high school, had a clear advantage. Yeri, recently recovered from chronic illness, barely held on before they both collapsed onto the floor in a heap.
"You're insane!" Nina gasped, pointing a shaking finger at her nose. "I admire your guts for climbing into Shin Keir's bed, but leave me out of your suicidal adventure!"
Yeri sneered, flicking her hair. "Incredible. So the saying 'people lose their brains in a crisis' is true. Open your eyes! Who's climbing into whose bed here?!"
Nina squinted at her, still skeptical.
