I then see him with an expression thats unreadable and cold, but his eyes hide something much deeper inside. His eyes burn with betrayal, confusion, anger and even a sense of sadness. His arms are crossed fiercely against his chest. He's clearly seen me kiss Noah.

I immediately get up to go to talk to him - leaving Noah baffled & speechless - but he storms off outside of the bar, I hesitate for a second but I end up rushing outside to talk to him anyway, desperate to know why he's mad at me for kissing Noah as if he isn't playing me himself? What is up with him? I can't help but find out. 

The breezy night air suddenly feels heavy because of this unresolved tension between us, the neon lights are buzzing all around the streets of Barcelona at this moon-lit time. 

Kwon is stomping away in a rage, each footstep vibrating and echoing his fury. I sprint to catch up him and I have to pant for breath because of how quick he is with his pace.

KWONS POV:

Less than 20 feet away from me, was Kiara, my Kiara with a random boy from Dublin Thunder. I clearly look way better than him and I'd easily beat him in a fight, why him? She's flirting with him and smiling. What was she smiling about? How could she sit there and smile with him and look so beautiful?

Now, she's making out with him. What about me? How could she just forget about me like that? Am I nothing to her? I thought we had something. I glare and read their expressions, stifling back tears.

"Staring at her all night won't help the pain, dude." Tory states and quickly walks off, not giving me time to respond. 

Then, she looks up at me with those dazing eyes of her. I can't do it. I can feel tears swelling up in my eyes so I storm off, I can feel her running rapidly to catch up with me, but I really hope she doesn't. I just can't face her right now or I'll genuinely start crying.

BACK TO KIARA'S POV:

I feel guilty for how he saw me with Noah earlier, however I also feel jealous and hurt by that instagram post with him and that girl. What does she have I don't?

Kwon stops in his tracks, "I was stupid enough to think that we actually had something. You kissed him like this was nothing to you."

"I saw your instagram post with that girl, and when I refreshed it, it was gone. That's why I thought we didn't have something."

He turns around, revealing the tears in his eyes that are running around, his eyes shifting from anger to confusion, he freezes for a moment.

My heart experiences a feeling never felt before with seeing his tears. A feeling I never even felt with Michael. Like my heart's a plate that just got aggressively thrown onto the floor and shattered into a million pieces.  Why do I feel like this? What is this feeling called?

"You're seriously mad at me for a picture on Instagram? Do you hear yourself, Kiara? That picture wasn't even what you think it was, it was a female friend that I don't even talk to anymore. When I followed you, I actually looked at my instagram posts again and I then removed it, because surprise, I actually care what you think about me. You continuously push me away over and over again and give me mixed signals then get mad over an instagram post you didn't even bother to ask me about?" His voice is bitter, evident he's more hurt than before.

"I didn't consider the fact you'd see it, but maybe I should've. But, you should've asked me about it Kiara, why just jump to conclusions like that and hurt us both? Then you went and kissed him." He adds.

"I'm sorry, Kwon. My team said I should lead you on to affect your performance, I just agreed because of the peer pressure and then I thought you had a girlfriend and were playing me and that hurt me even more and I'm just scared!"

"Scared of what?"

"Scared of how I feel with you, I haven't felt like this for anyone ever and I don't know how to handle it. I'm used to being distant with people but with you it's different, I don't want to but what if you hurt me?"

"It's the same old situation, you've always got me waiting." Kwon huffs, while furrowing his eyebrows.

Ouch.

"I'd never try to hurt you intentionally and I get why you're scared, but at least give me a proper chance. I need to know where you stand." His voice alleviates.

"I don't know what this is, but I think this is somewhat serious." He adds to himself, avoiding my pleading look, his eyes refusing to meet mine.

"I'll give you a chance, I'm sorry Kwon. But I will trust you. I don't think we should be in a relationship though because we don't really know each other that well."

"Okay." His eyes eased and he goes to grab my hand, which I accept. Our hands interlink and I can feel his sweat from his palm rubbing against mine but I choose not to say anything about it.

"I know a spot." He blurts out, turning to look at me, his Korean accent still vividly strong.

"Show me." I reply out of curiosity, wondering how he could "know a spot" as we've only been here for a few days.

We quickly pace for a few minutes then we stand in front of a mesmerising beach, the ocean was calm and serene. Slowly brushing over the sand on a continuous loop, the mysterious and enchanting water drew me.
