Note : Taoris, Sulay & Xiuchen will complete together...(same quote)

-

Xiumin get's tired. He's getting tired of people asking him where Jongdae went. 

Most of days friends who comes over to the breakfast house ask him the same question, "Where's Jongdae?" - even customers he don't know would ask him, "excuse me, what happen to the young waiter, black hair, bangs, handsome?"

Everytime they ask, Xiumin forces a smile and answer the one thing he hates hearing, "He doesn't work here anymore."

He doesn't like the fact that Jongdae quit right after he got his car. Xiumin thought they bonded well, and thought that Jongdae loved working in the breakfast house. He doesn't like it more that he's the one who made Jongdae leave by lending him some money for his car. Xiumin sometimes wishes that he never even gave the money in the first place just so Jongdae could stay.

Okay, maybe thinking that Jongdae loved working wasn't a good conclusion. Xiumin does pay attention and Jongdae always frowns, and pouts everytime he's serving someone or washing the window.

But he liked Jongdae's presence, even though he didn't lighten the place up or make people laugh, he was just comfortable around. It was nice seeing Jongdae wiping the table with a really disgusted face while wearing the cute duck hat- or it probably just looked cute on Jongdae himself.

 

After just being asked about Jongdae again, Xiumin frowns and continues to work. He takes a small towel and starts to wipe the tables, even though it's not his job too. 

"It's Jongin and Kyungsoo all over again," Xiumin sighs. "except they're friends again." 

A few minutes passed, still wiping the same table, he saw Luhan entering the breakfast house.

"Chuuumin! " Luhan greeted with open arms. He gave Xiumin a hug, and held his shoulder. "How are you? I miss you so much!" 

"We saw each other yesterday Lu?" Xiumin chuckled.

"I know, I just miss you," Luhan gave another hug, and afterwards sat on the table Xiumin was cleaning. He patted the table, telling the other to take a seat too.

"So how are you doing, you little cutie?" Luhan said grinning.

"I'm fine, "

Luhan tilted his head. He knew something was wrong with Xiumin. "What's wrong Minseok?" Luhan asked in a serious tone,"Usually when I call you by cute names you would go back at me and tell me I'm a manly women or -or a womanly man?"

"Manly women? " Xiumin raised a brow, "Womanly man? Did people in Japan teach you this?" he gave a small laugh, "everytime we meet, you come up with the weirdest nickname." 

Luhan just laughed. He even starts to wonder where he get these names too. 

"anyway's, I've been doing fine, but I'm a little down lately, " Xiumin continued.

"tell me about it, " 

"Well, everyone's asking about Jongdae too me, and it get's a bit annoying."

"Is that what's bothering you?" Luhan asked, and then receiving a nod from Xiumin. "Maybe you miss him?" 

"w-what? no!"

"Xiumin, we've been friends since we were little, I think I could tell if you miss someone or not," 

"What? You're a cytologist now?" Xiumin said jokingly. 

Again Luhan gave a slight laugh, "not a cytologist for sure, but I could tell." He laid back and seated comfortably, "admit it, you miss him."

Xiumin blushed. "w-wha- no, I don- why you? kind o- f-fine.." Xiumin huffed as he laid back and crossed his arms. "yes I do."

"look, " Luhan pointed out. 

They stayed silent for a while. 

"I know what to do," 

"what?" Xiumin said a bit excited.

"you go into his house an-"

"don't tell me that I should break into his house and steal a scrapbook and have Kris insult him and make him go to the first place we met and we will share our memories and forgive each other. " Xiumin interrupted. 

Luhan huffed, "fine."

"but it was a good idea!" Luhan said pointing his fingers upwards.

"yea, it was," Xiumin agreed, "damn your genius mind Kim Jongin!" he lifted his fists up to the heaven.

Luhan nods.

 

 

After an hour or so, Luhan left, and they both didn't have any ideas on how to get Jongdae back to the restaurant. Xiumin just continues wiping windows, and checking under the table for gum.

When all his employees went home, Xiumin was left alone. With nothing left to do, he decides to count his money.

"not much today," he whispers to himself, holding the stack of money. He wonders why, when Jongdae was here, they earned a lot of money but when he quits, they had less income. Xiumin sighs. "I'm handsome too.." he mumbles.

The door opened and caught Xiumins attention. It was Jongdae.

"Jongdae?" 

The other smiled, "I'm guessing you haven't changed, still counting money after night shift." 

"why is everybody acting like it's been forever since we met? Luhan saw me yesterday and he misses me so much, we haven't seen each other since eight hours ago at school." Xiumin pointed out.

"yea, but people can change within eight hours, "

"no they can't," 

"yes they can, It's a lesson I learnt from Lu-"

"I know , I know, Luhan and Sehun, 'People can change' I get it," Xiumin said, "anyways, why are you here?"

"oh yea. I forgot, I feel bad for taking so much money from you so, here-" Chen handed out some money, "I want to pay you back."

Xiumin looked at the  money for a few seconds. "n-no it's okay, I don't need it."

"I insist."

"No, really I don't need it."

Jongdae gave up. He puts the money back inside his bag. "at least let me do something in return."

Xiumin saw that Jongdae was really serious. "fine. " 

Jongdae smiled.

"I want you too work back at the restaurant."

From a smile, Jongdae frowned. "w-why?"

"I don't know, forget what I just said." Xiumin faces down in embarrassment.

Jongdae gave a sorry look. "why do you want me to work here so bad?"

Xiumin didn't want Jongdae too think he has fallen in love with him, it would be awkward. "Because, "   I miss you Jongdae. "It's really boring without you." He wasn't lying.

Xiumin is remembers he asks why is everybody acting like it's been forever. But he now he has to question himself about that.

"oh.." Jongdae glares t the floor. "I'm sorry Minseok, I can't work here anymore."

Jongdae is really bad in awkward situations.

"I understand," Xiumin answers. "well, see you in school tomorrow." 

"we never talk in school," Jondae says.

"I know.."

"well, see yo- ....bye.."

Jongdae walks out the restaurant. It would be the last time Xiumin sees Jongdae back in the breakfast house- Or ever see Jongdae again. He just wishes that the last time they'd meet wouldn't end this way.

 

 

 

The next day, after school, Xiumin overslept and was late for work. He quickly got ready and drove off.

He saw the car park was full today, he has too park far away from the breakfast house and walk.

He went in and the restaurant was filled. 

"good afternoon sir," One of the waiters said. 

"Hello sir, had a good sleep?" 

"what a lovely day isn't it? " 

"good evening,"

"how are you today?"

Everyone seems happy today, Xiumin thought. He fixes his tie and wore his apron.

"oh hey Luhan.." Xiumin greeted.

"you seem down?"

"yup, had an awkward night with Jongdae."

"ooohh~ What you guys do? Did you hit it?" Luhan grinned.

"ew, what are you talking about?" Xiumin said disgusted. "and no! me and Jongdae did not 'hit it' , I didn't sleep with hi-"

"Wait , wait , wait," Luhan interuppted. "I wasn't talking about ual .. I meant, did you hit the pinata I left in your house? I left a pinata as a congratulation gift for your friendship with Jongdae, but since you don't know what I'm talking about, I assumed you didn't use it." Luhan pouted.  "so you didn't fix things with Jongdae?"

"sadly no.."

"oh.." Luhan looks down a little pity.

"yea.."

"too bad!" Luhan he continues enjoying his meal.

Xiumin sighs. He moves on to the table next to Luhan to ask about the food, but suddenly someone fell on him dropping a couple of plates.

 

"are you okay?" The waiter asks, helping Xiumin up. He was okay, he was about to get a little angry until he saw that the guys knees were bleeding from the broken plates.

"I'm okay, you need a Band-Aid, go to the kitchen and you'll find one in the medical cupboard. " Xiumin grabbed the hat that was on the floor and handed it too the waiter. "here you g-"

The waiter takes back his hat and smiled. "Hello Xiu- I mean Sir! What a pleasant day! I'm Jongdae the new waiter but you could call me Chen!"

"Chen? What changed your mind?" Xiumin couldn't help but smile.

"what are you talking about? I always wanted to work here!" Jongdae said excitingly. "oh and sorry for the plates."

Xiumin grinned. "okay, since it's your first day here, I'll let you off."

"thanks sir!"

"oh and wear your hat." 

Jongdae pouts. "fine." he puts on his hat. "oh, and Xiumin, I miss you too." he smirked

"me? miss you , ha..ha.. "

"so were back to normal right?" 

Xiumin nodded and holding Jongdaes shoulder. "absolutely. "  he smiles. "welcome back."

Jongdae gave a small hug to Xiumin. "oh, my knees are bleeding too much. "

"put a band aid." 

"okay sir!" Jongdae walks past Luhans table and bent down and whispered in Luhans ears. "I know you tripped me on purpose."

Luhan looks up and smiles. "your welcome."

[xiuchen complete]

 

 

 

Tao doesn't mind that Kris have been hanging out with Kyungsoo lately. Kris still made time for Tao, and Tao knows that Kris would never leave him, and he shouldn't be worried even if Kris finds a new friend; after all they are frenemies. 

As long as Kris is still the same whenever they are together, he doesn't mind.

It was a long time since Tao seen Kris out of school though. He sees him in school but then Kris disappears afterwards. They usually meet up in the parking lot but its been 4 days since they met up after school.

Kris did not disappear for sure, Tao was still able to contact him- but every time he does, Kris tells him that he doesn't have long to chat,  or tells him to make it quick. When he messages Kris, it takes four or three hours for him to reply. 

Worried that Kris found a new friend better than Tao himself, Tao asks his friends if they've seen him. But none of them did.

He decides to ask Kyungsoo. 

To Do : hey have you seen Kris? you know, afterschool?

From Do : I see him at school but he usually disappears 5 minutes before last lesson ends, 

To Do : really? I never knew that..

From Do : probably because you never have last period with him xD

To Do : xD thanks :P 

 

 

 

It was last period, and Kris wacthes the clock. He needs to wait one minute before he leaves the class. 

ten more seconds..

nine more seconds..

eight seconds..

seven..

six.. five.. four.. three..two..

"mrs, " Kris said as he stood up and walked to the teachers desk. Once he reached the desk, he handed out a slip to the teacher.

"Okay, you could go," the teacher said, signing the slip and handing it back to Kris.

Kris nods and leaves.

 

"Where are you going?" Kris heard as he walked out the door. He looked to the side to see that it was Tao.

"Why are you out of class?" Kris asked raising an eye-brow.

"I think I'm the one that should be asking you," Tao said.

"what ever,"

"anyways, why have you been leaving school so early?"

"why are you asking me so much stuff?" Kris replied, "and if you really want to know, I'm not doing anything illegal like drug dealing. "

"drug dealing? Maybe stealing money from and old lady but I didn't think of drug dealing." Tao said looking up while holding his chin.

"haha."

"seriously what's going on?"

"It's non of your buisness Tao, could you just leave me alone I'm late."

Tao gave a hurt look. "fine." He said, walking away.

Kris felt gulty for talking so rudely. "no, Tao, I didn't mean it like that. " The other looked back at Kris crossing his arms. "I'm just really busy.."

"why can't you just tell me?"

"fine," Kris sighed. "come with me and I'll explain everything."

 

They both went to the parking lot and seated in Kris' car. 

"okay, Master told me that I'm participating in the Wushu summer Champion cup." Kris told Tao.

"but your still a yellow belt?"

"I know, that's why I've been busy lately. I'm taking extra classes for wushu."

"why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I've moved to another academy, sorry ."

"what?," Tao exclaimed. "Why? did Master tell you too?"

"yes, and it was a one in a life time offer. It's the dragon academy, they are one of the best in Seoul, I had too join."

"why didn't you just tell me? "

"sorry.."

"hm..I gotta go back to class. See ya," Tao said leaving the car.

Kris watched as Tao hurriedly ran back towards the school. Kris stayed for a few seconds, feeling a little guilty before driving off to his practice.

 

 

The next day at school, Kris sat on the lunch table with the others. Afterwards Tao came by greeting everyone but him.

Everyone knew what happened between them. Sehun who felt the awkward tension, he excused himself out of the table, in which Suho and Lay folowed. Now there was only Chanyeol who was too busy listening to his music. 

"how was practice?" Tao asked with a bitter tone. He took a seat on the opposite side of Kris, and laid back while crossing his arms.

"it was good."

"I found out I'm also participating on the Wushu Summer Champion Cup."

"that's great I'll see you there." Kris said with a smile, as he took a bite of his sandwich.

"you don't know yet?"

"sorry?"

"whatever, you'll know when it's the championship." Tao left leaving Kris a bit confused.

 

 

 

It was the day of the Championship. The arena was filled with people. Kris' friends came along as well, also his basketball mates came too watch.

He sat down with his pupils feeling a bit nervous. 

"Yifan." His new master called. "Dragon academy is one of the best Wushu school in South Korea, you have to do a good job since your'e representing our school. We're counting on you."

Kris nodded. What the Wushu just said didn't make Kris feel any better, but he doesn't think it's suppose to.

He saw Tao practicing his Wushu skills on the other side. Kris saw that Tao have spotted him. He gave a happy wave but Tao gave a disgusted look and turned away.

It was already announced that the Championship has started.

"first , Wu Yifan from Dragon academy." Everyone cheered. "and Jung Jongmin from Wushu art school."

Kris slighlty shocked because he was the first to fight, recieved a pat on his back from his master, signaling him to stand up.

He walked up the small steps to the big blue circle. He met his oppopnent. "." He whispered. "A black belt?" He quickly went back down and held his masters wrist. "Sir! A black belt? I'm still a yellow."

"They don't count by what belt you are. As long as you are the same height as your opponent." His master pushed him front. "now go wu yifan."

Kris repeated what his master said. "as long as your'e the same height." That means he will be fighting more black belts. "I hate my life." He said imitating a crying face.

He bowed to his opponent. "Start!" 

They went closer and closer. Pow! Kris got hit on his nose. "Ah! "Kris said holding his nose on his knees. He wished he played it cool. "Aw, Jeez, that hurts ! OW!" The refree stood him up and it was time too continue.

"aw, man you made me mad," Kris said.

The guy didn't understand Kris. He was speaking american. He decides too kick him but Kris dogded it. 

Kris started doing random kicky moves and went closer and closer to his opponent. Then he made this cutting thing with his arms. Kris was closing his eyes the whole time. Suddenly he heard a loud beep. He opened his eyes and his oppopnent was on the floor. 

"Wu yifan, Dragon Academy wins!" 

"say what? " Kris was shocked. He won against the black belt.

"good Yifan, now rest you have three more opponents left. Leave the rest to your team mates." The master said, giving Kris a cold bottle of water and a towel.

 

After fighting his two other opponents and watching some other fights. It was the last round for the Dragon academy. 

"Yifan, it's the last round for us. We will win the cup if you win this round." 

Kris stood up and made a few jumps. "okay who's am I kicking this time! " 

"him," The master pointed at a tall male. A little tan. It was Tao. "his name is Zitao."

Kris gulped. "o-okay." He knows Tao won't go easy on him.

He went up to the circle and was greeted by Tao. "you look shock Kris? did the master just tell you now?"

Kris nodded, he's a bit nervous.

"You beated three blackbelts today with your weird moves,trust me those moves wont work on me." Tao said smirking.

They bowed. "start!"

 Kris was beated a few times by Tao but still he was standing. The fight was slow but furious.

"you won't win Kris, just give up."

How do you even give up on a Wushu fight? Kris thought. "I don't care about winning. I want to prove my academy wrong, they all think I'm just a lame tall goof." Kris told. "My parents. They didn't even come because they thought I would get beat up in the first round."

Tao gave a pity look, but still he continued to fight. 

Beep. "we will continue this fight after a break." They heard. 

"Kris." Tao called and walked up to him. "you still wouldv'e stayed."

"I wanted too, I love the old place."

"so why didn't you?"

"because . Dragon academy could give me a better name. Sure the people don't treat me well, but it was a big step for me. And today that I've won three blackbelts, everyone treated me seriously. That's all I wanted. And I'll try my best to win this round. " Kris wiped his head with his towel and walked away to his team.

 

It was time too fight again. 

They both fought seriously. Kris had one falls. If he falls two more time he loses. 

"are you still mad at me Tao?" Kris said, both him and Tao are walking round the circle.

He only received a  huff.

Suddenly Kris gave a suprise kick on Taos chin. The crowed gasped.

Tao gave a furious look, he was on his knees and holding his chin. His eyes were blazing.When he stood up,  he gave Kris a few beatings

Kris had his second fall. 

It was a little quiet.

Kris looked up with sad eyes.

"congratulaions Tao. You win if you make me fall one more time,..I gave you one kick and you repeated what happened in Wushu class last month." Kris' eyes were starting too water.

"Embarrass me Tao, infront of my teammates and friends. They are all up there watching in the crowd." Kris said standing up. 

Tao noticed, he made Kris experience embarrasment again. This time it was in a bigger crowd where more people could see Kris get beat up badly. And he lost Kris' friendship just to win. Suddenly Tao felt his knees weakened.

It was also Taos last chance if he has one more fall he loses. 

Suddenly he heard a loud scream. It was coming from Kris. Everything was blurry.

It was so noisy.

"I gave you one kick.. one.. kick .....one kick.."

The lights were too bright.

"repeat..what happen last month...last month..."

his vision was starting too get blurry..

"Congratulaions Tao...congratulations...congratultions...Tao......

Tao...

Tao...

He saw a white rectangle getting near him....

Pow!

Tao had his last fall.

Beep. "Dragon "

no..

"academy.."

no..

"wins the final round!" 

Tao couldn't believe he just lost to a yellow belt. He can't believe he lost to Kris.

 

Kris went infront of Tao and offered his hands giving a smile. 

Tao stood up not accepting the apology. 

Kris knew Tao couldnt accept the fact he just lost.

 

It was time to recieve the trophy. Kris did not feel good. He felt as if he lost something more important. Tao's friendship.

He went up the stage with a smile that slowly turned into a sad frown.

He saw Tao going up the stage too. 

Tao took the trophy from the host.

He held it infront of Kris. 

Kris recieved it. 

And Tao smiled. He then bowed.

Kris did the same.

"Dragon academy! "the host exclaimed and the crowd went wild.

"congratulations Kris," Tao smiled.

"so you okay?" Kris asked.

"Wushu is not about winning. In the end , it's about making peace with your enemies." Tao said offering a handshake.

"oh come on a handshake? How about a big bear hug!" Kris grabbed Tao and gave him a cuddle. Then he ruffled his hair.

"I gave up the fight for you , you know?" Tao said.

"liar! You were too distracted."

"Fine.."

 

"Friends?" Kris said, breaking the hug, and smiling.

Tao gave him a knowing look.

"frenemies!" They both shouted and pointed at each other.

"the first one down the circle wins!" Kris shouted.

"hey!"

"Suho, look what I found in my room." Lay said. Suho was still stretching to get ready to dance. Lay was holding a green power rangers action figure.

Suho just laughed.

They both danced for about two hours.

When they were done the sat down and ate some food Lay bought.

"hey Suho wanna come over too my house?" Lay asked smiling.

"sure."

 

They both went too Lays house and relaxed. They watched some movies of Jackie Chan and all of Rush hour.

"that dog." Suho said pointing at the picture on Lays wall. "is that yours?"

"yea,"

"I use too have one. " Suho said a bit sad. 

"really? what happened?" 

"It got lost. " Suho said a litle sad. "anyways." He continued, "is your dog in China?" 

"no, he died." Lay said.

"Sorry."

"no it's okay, want to come see it? We burried him in our garden," Lay stood up and pointed at his window.

"sure.."

They both went downstairs and too Lays backyard. The garden looked very healthy and gave a warm vibe. It felt comfortable.

Lay guided Suho towards the grave. 

Suho saw that the grave had a lot of flowers ontop of it, and a collar. 

Lay picked up the collar and lended it to Suho. "his name was cookie." Lay said. "that what we saw on his name tag."

"That was my dogs name." Suho said shocked. "this is his collar."

"really? we found him on the streets." Lay said smiling.

"I thought he died in the forest or something." 

"no,my parents lived in Korea for a long time. I lived with my grandparents in China. Just last year I moved here. Cookie died eight months ago. He was a really nice dog. I didn't know it belongs too you. Sorry."

"no ! Don't say sorry it's not your fault. " Suho said shaking his hands. "At least I know, he lived with a good family before he died. Thank you." 

Suho smiled at the other and Lay curved back a smile.

Suho kissed the collar before putting it back onto the grave.

 

They went back upstairs with nothing to do.

"hey look what I found." Lay said. This time he was holding a red power rangers. 

"I remember having that one." Suho said.

"a kid gave it too me when I was small. " 

 

-

Lay was crying alone, because all the other children said his green power rangers was too old. He was only able to afford one. He begged his grand parents for the new power rangers toy, but they said they didn't have enough money to buy toys.  

Again he tried to join the other kids but they left him out.

One of the kids went to him and gave him one of his power rangers. "here , you could have mine."

"b-but they are yours, don't give them." Lay looked up with a sad look.

"it's okay I have plenty." The kid smiled. "your green one willhave no friends." The kid sat down. "let's play."

"okay!" 

 

-

"I forgot his name.." Lay said, trying hard too think. "J-Ju,"

"Jumyeon?" Suho said beaming.

Lay looked at him. He tilted his head. "y-you are that kid?" 

"I lived in China for 3 months when I was little." Suho smiled.

"Wow, we actually have a lot of connection. Your dog, and the power rangers." 

"Yea, a lot of things are left unknown right?" Suho said. "Like old friends." 

 

"well, we never got too introduce each other proply. I think we should now." Lay gave out his hands. "Hello I'm Yixing you could call me Lay."

Suho smiled and shook his hands. "I'm Jumyeon, call me Suho."

"let's play power rangers!" Lay said excited. He took out his green one and gave Suho his red one.

They both started playing. 

"we both found out a lot of things today," Lay said.

"I know right." Suho chuckled. "hey ! You are copying my moves!"

"No I'm not!" Lay giggled.

 

Suho laughed,

"oh, and It's nice too meet you." 

"nice too meet you too."

"we will be good friends."

"yea."

They both continued playing. Afterwards, they try regaining some old memories. Who knows, there is probably more to their friendship that are left unknown.

fourth, I didn't know how to complete Sulay because they are the only pair with no complications!

Let's just say Sulay is the pure couple here.

Thank you for listening (reading) to me whine. Finally I finish this chapter!!!!
