I had to tell someone. I had to tell someone. I had to tell someone!

I think Luhan was my best friend!

Oh my gosh!

But I couldn’t tell Kris. Why? Well, we haven’t been on the best terms lately - he would hang out with Tao, Xinyi, and their friends while I hung out with Luhan and Lay.

And so, I decided to call my other best friend from the States - Joanna.

“Hello? Who’s this?”

“Jojo! I’ve missed you!”

“Wh-Jan? Janice? Janice Ouyang?!”

“Yes! It’
