Lee Ha Kyung's POV

I was watching TV when I heard continuous knocks on my door.

We have a door bell. Jeez...

I got up and opened the door lazily.

-_-

"What are you doing here, loser?"

"Is that how you greet your awesome, god-like brother?"

I rolled my eyes and went back to the living room.

He seemed to have got the message and followed me.

I looked back at him as I sat down on the couch.

"The door's still open.."

I widened my eyes at him.

"I know... but I thought you loved surprises.."

A curve slowly formed from his lips.

My eyebrows met..

WHAT

"Yah! What are you up to? What surprise? I swear, if you're playing with me, I'm sooooooooooooo going to~"

Then someone came in.

O.O

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I couldn't help but scream as I ran towards her for a hug.

"HA KYUNGIEEEEEEE~"

"MYUNG JIIIIIIIIIII"

We said in unison as we started to jump up and down.

"MY EARS! PLEASE STOP. STOP.."

We both glared at my brother who always found a way to ruin the moment.

I shook my head and turned to my best friend since... like what? Forever?

I was so upset when she headed to the US for work but oh well, that made her happy.

"When did you come back? And why didn't you tell me?"

I said as I realeased her.

Myung Ji: "WHAT? I texted you a week before my flight.."

Oh right! I have a phone number..

Me: "Sorry, my phone is drained in a drawer somewhere in this house. I didn't seem to need it.. since I don't  have a social life. All the people I know is either at the other side of the world or... they just don't care about me."

Oppa: "Seriously? I can't even go on a day without my phone. What have you been doing with your life?"

I sighed. I have been cleaning, sleeping, cooking, eating, watching dramas..

That's when it hit me.

My life stopped..when I married him.

I've been in a lockdown.

I did nothing but be a boring housewife.. or a housemaid at that.

Myung Ji and I sat down as loser closed the door.

"I brought something for you.."

"What is this?" I said as I slowly ripped the wrapper..

WAH

It was a cocktail dress, red and tight-fitting. It had beading in the neckline.. it was so.. perf.

I looked at the tag. MJ.

IT WAS HER OWN DESIGN..

"I am so proud of you.."

I couldn't help saying..

Myung Ji: "Wear it for someone who deserves it."

I giggled.

Myung Ji: "Now, I have to do something with you.."

Oppa: "Yes, please. "

Me: "You make it sound like there's something wrong with me.."

"Yes.." - "There is.."

They said simultaneously.

Myung Ji: "But first.. I have to meet your husband.."

I looked at the wall clock. It was five in the afternoon.. he always came home at six.

"He'll be home soon. In the mean time, update me..."

Then, she started to tell me stories about how she has been living the life...

making me realize how much my life ..

Lu Han's POV

The shoot was done.

Zhing Yi had left and I found myself sitting... with my mind floating in mid-air.

those years..

those memories...

that kiss..

but most of all, that girl..

*flashback*

Zhing Yi: "You promised me  that you'd come back.."

I felt guilt creeping up my chest.

I didn't know what to answer..

I can still remember that day. the day I left for Korea. I just wanted to study Hangul, that was the only reason why I wanted to go. We were at the airport.. she was crying in my arms.

"I promise that I'll be back.. You don't have to be afraid. Nothing will happen to me. I'll come back.."

I didn't know that she would remember or at least that she wouldn't forget. I didn't know that a SM scouting officer would want me.. I didn't know that there was a life waiting for me here in Korea. I didn't know that she would be waiting..

She was so afraid that day. Afraid of the thought that I will go and ride an airplane. Her parents died in a plane crash. She told me that when she was a kid, her parents rode that and they... never came back. Hearing her say that broke my heart. 

Guo Zhing Yi always had a special place in my heart. Aside from being my best friend, I've always had this some kind of concern towards her. My protective instincts for her.. is off the hook.

I hate seeing her cry, I hate anyone who makes her cry, I hate seeing her sad and everyone who had made her sad.

Zhing Yi: "But it doesn't matter now. I'm here and you are too. We're finally together."

She took a hold of my hand.

Zhing Yi: "Don't you know that I actually rode a plane to get here?"

My eyes widened. Wh-a-h-how?

Zhing Yi: "I told myself that if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to see you. "

My heart softened. I tried to smile but I couldn't.

Manager: "It's time for the shoot.."

The rest was a blur

All I could think about was.. how she never crossed my mind through the years and how I..

how I didn't come back for her..

*end of flashback*

"YOOHOO!"

I saw a hand waving in front of me and that's when I woke up.

"Oh?"

It was Xiumin and Kris.

Xiumin: "Took you long enough.. what's going on in that head of yours?"

They both sat beside me.

Kris: "Hey, why'd you go on an interview without telling us? I thought that we were one.. how's noona?"

Me: "I had to do it. She's fine."

Croo croo.. silence.

Xiumin: "Why do I feel like there's something else bothering you?"

Kris: "This isn't about Noona, isn't it?"

Xiumin: "Is this about the girl you had a steamy kiss with?"

Steamy? What?

But wait, how did they know?

Kris: "Come on.."

Kris got my bag and stood up, pulling me with him.

Me: "Where are we going?"

Xiumin: "It's time to drink it up."

Lee Ha Kyung's POV

"Maybe, I'll meet him some other time.. charge your phone and call me, okay?"

Myung Ji said as she hugged me.

"I will. I'll see you really soon."

She nodded while she was waiting for loser to stand up.

"I'll see you soon, sis. Have to get going too. I have to drive MJ to her apartment and it's kinda getting late.."

"It's not kinda.. it's really late.."

I chuckled awkwardly as I opened the door for them.

"Bye, guys!"

I watched their car fade away and went directly to my bedroom.

I threw myself to the bed.

I can't believe I waited for him.. I can't believe we waited for him.

Why isn't he home yet? 

It's almost midnight..

Is he still alive? 

Call me paranoid but I can't help but think about those kind of things.

Doesn't he have any consideration?

If he's going out late....

he can call, you know?

He can be like...

"Sorry, Ha Kyung. I wouldn't be coming home tonight. Don't wait up for me. Yeah, bye."

CALLING DOESN'T HURT.

Loser Oppa tried calling him. but he didn't answer.

I covered my face with a pillow.. not wanting to think about him.

I am just so....

I don't know, 

worried? maybe a little..

disappointed? yes.

Lu Han's POV

I woke up with a mild headache.

I came home at like what? 3 in the morning?

I grabbed my phone and it was 12 in the afternoon.

My brain woke up. WHAT?

I sat up and looked at the calendar.

.... 

Oh, it's okay. I don't have anything on my schedule today.

I realized that I had a few missed calls. It was from Ha Joon-hyung? Hmm. I wonder what this is about. I guess, I can talk to him later.

I washed my face and decided to go down to watch some early morning news.

What's this?

Ha Kyung left the tv open? Oh well.

I shrugged and changed the channel.

There... some news.

"What do you think you're doing?"

I turned to see Ha Kyung with a smug look on her face.

"Good morning to you too, Yeobo.."

"Don't call me that. Change the channel back.."

O.O 

What's wrong with her?

"What if I don't want to? Besides, you're not even watching.."

She suddenly stole the remote from me and switched it to her channel.

"YAH! What's your problem?"

"You changing the channel is my problem.."

"You weren't even watching.."

It was my turn to steal it..

"WELL, I'M GOING TO WATCH NOW."

She snatched it again and the tv went back to that stupid morning drama again.

I slowly felt pissed..

"THAT DRAMA DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!"

I blurted out while standing up.

"WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE? YOU HAVE A TV IN YOUR ROOM. WHY DONT YOU JUST LOCK YOURSELF THERE SO BOTH OF US CAN HAVE A PEACE OF MIND?"

She stood up too with her eyes cutting me with her stare.

"ARE YOU ORDERING ME? BESIDES, I WANT TO WATCH HERE. IN THE COUCH."

I said firmly.

"WELL, SORRY. I'M GOING TO WATCH."

She sat down and rested her feet on the apothecary table.

It's no use. I didn't want to fight.

"Fine. I'm just going to sit here and play with my phone.."

I gave up and sat down beside her.

"See? You have a phone. Why don't you use it?"

 I saw her roll her eyes as she crossed her arms.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing..."

"I heard something. What did you say, Lee Ha Kyung?"

"I SAID YOU HAVE A PHONE. WHY DON'T YOU USE IT TO CALL PEOPLE AND TELL THEM YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUT LATE?!" she shouted.

my brain processed what she just said.

Is that why she's been so agitated?

"Did you, by any chance, wait up for me?"

I raised a brow. She just took a deep breath and ignored me.

"You waited up for me..:

I smirked at the realization.

"Shut up. I waited for you because my best friend wanted to meet my husband. But oh wait, I guess, I don't have one."

With that, she stormed out of the living room to who-knows-where.

How was I supposed to know that she would be waiting?

.... and how was I supposed to know that she would be waiting for me too?

Lee Ha Kyung's POV

I resorted to cooking.

I chopped the carrots with so much effort and emotion.

Ugh. I hate this. Why did I even marry this guy?

Chill, Ha Kyung. Just cook. Just cook so you can eat.

Eating is good. Food is good.

I heard the door bell ringing. I was supposed to get it but I heard the door open..

"BAO BEI!"

That was a girl.

That was a girl, wasn't it?

Hey, I'm no expert at Chinese but...

doesn't Bao Bei mean baby?
