Sixteen years old Qian was crying her heart out under the big shade of tree at the garden of their house, the sky was so gloomy just like her feeling now a while ago she heard a group of friends talking about her saying that she was nothing but just a spoiled brat, she wants to tell them that it was not true but she didn’t want to get into trouble that’s why she remain silent and cry alone. She looks up at the sky it seems like it will rain in just a few minutes, she extended her hands out to reach for sky when a hand intertwined their fingers together, her lips curved a smile knowing who owns that hand, who always give a warm feeling every time she holds it.

            “Is there something wrong?” Nickhun ask in concerned.

            Victoria turn her head to look at Nickhun and lips curved a smile when they eyes met “there is nothing wrong” she said

            Nickhun shoot a glare on her, not buying her excuse, he turns his body so that he could face her while lying, his hand unconsciously wipe the trace of tears on her eyes and gently hit her head “ stupid, you think you can fool me?” he ask knowing that there is something wrong with her.

            She laughed knowing that there is no use on lying in front of Nickhun. “Hmmm is just that I heard a group of girls talking about me?”

            Nickhun eyes wide open. “What did you heard?”

            “That I am nothing but just a spoiled brat.” She said, hurt could be heard on her voice

            Nickhun was shocked, that is one of the reason why she doesn’t want her to be friends with anyone expect him and his sister, it’s not that he was being selfish but he doesn’t want her to get hurt, they always said bad things about her without even knowing the real her. He clenched his fist. “Where are they? Tell me where are them?”

            “Oppa, its okay I’m use to it and beside I know that I’m not that kind of person right? She said trying to convince her that she was okay.”

            But Nickhun didn’t buy it” if your okay then why are you crying here alone?”

            “I’m not crying is just that dust enter my eyes and it was itchy that’s why I rub it” she said in defense

            Nickhun could only shake his head. “Next time if you’re going lie make sure that I will believe it okay?”

            She could only pout her lips. “Yah! I was telling the truth”

            His eyes where wide open with what he heard “Yah? Did you just call me Yah?” he asks in disbelief.

            Qian cover , she actually didn’t mean to say but her tongue slip. “Oh Oppa, I’m Sorry I didn’t mean to call you like that?”

            “When did you learn calling me Yah? Nickhun ask

            Qian remain silent, how can she tell him that she learns that from his sister cherleen, she know that cherleen will get into trouble once Nickhun knew it, she only shakes her head not wanting to answer him.

            “Slip it out now or you will regret this later” he said assuring her that she will regret the punishment she has to face.

            Qian already changed her position in case Nickhun will do something, she quickly run away from him while shouting “I’m not going to tell it” she said screaming and running when she saw that Nickhun was ready to chase her.

            “Run as fast as you can Qian, you’re dead if I caught you” and then Nickhun keep on chasing her, the laughter and screams echoed around the garden, Nickhun was delighted to hear her laughed, her laughter was like a music to his ear and that is the melody he always likes to hear, within a few minutes of chasing Nickhun finally caught her and he even spin her around until he heard her protest. They both stand together in the middle of the garden, eyes lock trying to catch each other breath.

            “Feeling better now?” Nickhun said while he loving fixes her bangs that was ruined by the chasing they did a while ago.

            “You always know how to make me feel better” she said in a cute way while looking at him lovingly.

            Nickhun could only put a smile on his face, of course he will always know how to make her happy, Nickhun pulled her closer to him and Qian smiled feeling the warmth of Nickhun’s arm that surrounds her. He took a deep breath before carefully uttering a word so soft that he was not sure if Qian will hear it. “I love you”

            Qian pulled away when she didn’t heard what Nickhun said “Huh? Did you say something?” she asks curiously.

            Nickhun shake his head, “I didn’t say anything” he said in defense and pulled out from Qian and made his way back under the tree.

            Qian followed him “ you said something, I heard you say something but it was not clear” she said, both of them keep on arguing whether Nickhun said something or not, how can he repeat those words in front of her, he is not brave enough to tell her those words, he knows that he needs more time to prove to her the meaning of those words before he say it again.

            Aware from the two, two old Man couldn’t help but smile seeing the way they kids are, they couldn’t help imagine the future knowing that both of them might end up together.

            “They look together right?” Mr. Buck said, eyes didn’t leave the two figures lying under the big shade of tree.

            “Yes you’re definitely right; I know you Son won’t hurt my Daughter” Mr. Dylan Song said with such confidence that made Mr. Buck chuckled at his statement.

            “I think we should start calling each other in-laws.” Mr. Buck added that made both of them burst into laughter.

The ray of sunlight that was coming from the window made the sleeping Qian eyes open, she carefully adjust from lying position now she was sitting and her head rest on the bed side, she could feel the hurt coming from her head not to mention the irritation she has when the ray of sunlight regret her, she hates it, in fact she always remind their maids not to open her curtains and always closed it. She lazily open her eyes when she was about to stand up and plan to close the curtain when she realize that she was not in her room, she tries to call back what happen at the heaven’s bar and examine her appearance, she was still wearing the same clothes minus the cardigan she has last night, she carefully examine the room, eye brows met when something caught her attention, again she thought. Seeing the picture frame on the bedside, now she has idea where the hell is she as if on cue, Nickhun enter the room.

            “Oh you finally woke up” Nickhun greeted her with a smile on his face and his other hand holding a cup of coffee. “I made you a coffee it will help you to ease your hangover.”

            Qian didn’t answer him, this is what she hated the most aside from her Mother, Nickhun Buck Horvejkul the person she wish she never know, without answering him back, she quickly took her cardigan and made her way to the door but Nickhun caught her wrist.

            “Where are you going?” he ask

            “Home, where else” she answers him back without looking at him.

            “Then let me drive you home” he said without even releasing her hands.

            “I can manage on my own” she shoots back

          “I insist” with that he drag her downstairs without waiting for her answer. The drive way back to her was quit that it can make someone go insane, they both remain silent, and his eyes were focus on the road while she closed her eyes resting her head, he then heard a groan coming from Qian’s mouth.

            “You should have drunk that coffee before you went home, it will help you” he said glancing at her but Qian just ignore what she said.

            “You probably drink a lot, Qian you should try to control it you’re lucky that I was there when your friends can’t even manage to help you” he shot back again, Qian was getting pissed off, he got the nerves to give her lecture, who the hell he think he is? Not because her Father trust him that doesn’t mean he has the privilege to tell what to do, without wanting to argue with him, he just ignore him and dig something on her bag, she took her IPod and put the headphones on her ears, Nickhun could only shake his head seeing her behavior.

Mrs. Song was facing back and forth at the Song Mansion, she was worried to death about her daughter, she stay up late to wait for her but failed when Mr. Song told her that Qian will definitely come home early morning but it was almost lunch and there is still no sign of Qian. The horn of a car wake her up on her thoughts, surprising her that it was Qian with Nickhun, she was about to greet her with a smile but seeing the way she dress, right at that moment she already knew where she has been.

            “So you still remember your way back home” Mrs. Song said once she saw that Qian already enter their house.

            “You should be thankful that I still came back home” she said while taking a sit of the sofa.

            “Where have you been?” Mrs. Song asks.

            Qian was about to answer when Nickhun interrupt her. “She is with cherleen and Mom auntie, I’m sorry that I didn’t call to inform you.” Qian could only rolled her eyes, again Nickhun was the protagonist and she was the antagonist.

            “I went to the bar with my friends, I got drunk and he is kind enough to take me home, happy? She said while eyeing at Nickhun who was shock with what she said.

            “Didn’t I told you to stop hanging out with your friends” she was about to continue when Qian cut her off.

            “Didn’t I tell you that I’m not doing to follow you, and what right do you have to tell me what should I do?”

            “I’m your mother” Mrs. Song shouted.

            “Tell that to the marines” she said sarcastically

            “Qian that’s enough” Nickhun said wanting her to stop talking back at her mother.

            “Stay out of this, I arrive perfectly safe, so get lost” she shouted at him,

            “Stop this instance will you” they all turn their head when they heard a familiar voice coming closer to them, it was Mr. Song. Qian didn’t want to get scold by her dad so she storm her way to her bedroom, leaving the frustrated Mr. Song , Nickhun also excuse himself wanting to follow Qian.

            Mrs. Song couldn’t help but cry that made Mr. Song couldn’t help but feel bad about his wife; he hugged her tight trying to ease the pain she was feeling. “Be more patience with her.

Qian slammed her bedroom door harshly and jumped off the bed. She was still mad right now, for sure that witch will tell bad things to her dad and she couldn’t help but feel pissed off with it. Then all of a sudden she heard a knock from the door, without thinking too much she opens it with the thought that it was her dad.

            “Can I come in?” Nickhun ask

            “What are you doing here?” she said without opening the door wide enough for both of them.

            “I just want to check you” he said pushing his body against the door and with a great strength he has, he finally manage to open the door and invites himself inside.

            “What are you doing” she ask when she saw Nickhun roaming around her rooms like it was a museum, Nickhun couldn’t help but smile when he saw tons of Qian’s picture hanging on the wall, it was like cycle, a picture of her since she was a baby and up to now, he was amaze to see that her appearance doesn’t even change, in fact she become more beautiful. Then something caught his attention.

            “Oh! You still have this?” Nickhun ask while holding a big bunny teddy, he remembers that he was the one who give it to her as a birthday present.

            Qian was embarrassed; she didn’t imagine that Nickhun would find out that she was still keeping that teddy bear. “Give it back to me, that’s mine”

            “Uh uh, this exactly belongs to me; I just give it to you”

            Luckily Qian manage to get back the teddy bear and throw it harshly on her bed. “Now what do you want?”

            “Are you okay?” Nickhun ask in a calm voice

            “Of course I’m okay” she said with confidence

            “I know you’re not, you can cry if you want, I’m going to listen” he said once again in a soft voice.

            Qian laughed. “What the hell are you talking about? I’m not going to cry, so please leave me alone, I’m tired I want to take a rest.

            Nickhun didn’t argue anymore, he made his way at the door but before opening the door, he faces her once again. “You know that I’m always here for you, if you need me” with that Nickhun leave her alone, wanting to give her time alone.

            As soon as she heard the door close, she begin to cry her heart out, she doesn’t why but she thinks she needed to cry, she wants to beg Nickhun to stay with her but she was afraid that Nickhun would see the weakness she has, with that she let those tears to fall down until it reaches and tasting the salt water coming from her eyes. The sound of her phone made her stop crying she quickly reach for it and lips curved a smile upon seeing what the message was.

            I’m finally back, let see each other tomorrow, I miss you so much

She couldn’t help but felt happy, even though she had a bad start today tomorrow will be different now that the only person that can make her happy is finally back.
