Complications and Rivalry [Senior Year]

The next day, you were walking to school alone. It felt foreign, quiet, and sad.

“Hey, Xiao! Morning~” Minyoung and Jihyun were at the school gates.

You faked a smile. “Morning.”

Infinite F and Teen Top arrived. “Hey girls~ good morning.”

“Good morning.” The three of you greeted back.

“I’ll go inside first.” You excused yourself and went inside.

“Is Xiao sick?” Ricky asked.

“Do you know what happened to her?” Niel asked L.

Myungsoo shrugged and went inside the school as well.

“Something must have happened between those two.” Sungyeol stated.

“Are they in a fight?” Sungjong asked.

The rest shrugged. Jihyun and Minyoung were worried about you.

L.Joe sighed. He felt like he has something to do with it.

 

You went to the library during lunchtime, to avoid questions from your friends. You’re sure that they have sensed the atmosphere between you and Myungsoo. You were walking home alone when an arm hanged on your shoulders.

“It’s because of me, right?” L.Joe said.

You sighed. “Our talk during fieldtrip at night, he heard and saw everything.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, L.Joe. I’m at fault too. Don’t feel guilty.”

“I’ve become the bad guy in the story now.” He pouted.

You chuckled. “Babo.”

“So what did he say?”

“He told me to choose one between you two.”

“Xiaoyu, I’ll prove to you I can make you happy.” He faced you to him. “I don’t know what to do if I lose you…” He kissed you for a while before leaving you dumbfounded.

*I’m sorry, Xiaoyu. That will be the last time of me being selfish. I don’t know what to do if I lose you, but I would rather see you with Myungsoo than force you with me. I’ll prove to you I can make you happy, because I’ll do what it takes for you and Myungsoo to reconcile. Even if it will hurt me…I love you, but I have to let you go.*

 

You arrived home with Minyoung and Jihyun waiting for you in the living room.

“Oh, Xiao, you’re home. Your friends have been waiting for you. They want to talk to you.” Yixing was preparing dinner. You pecked his cheek before heading to the living room.

 “You know you can’t avoid us, Xiao.” Minyoung stated.

You sighed. “I’m sorry.”

“You worried us to death! We thought you were sick, and then we realized there’s something up between you and Myungsoo.” Jihyun said.

“You two were not even acknowledging each other’s presence even you sit beside each other in class.” Minyoung said.

“Do you mind telling us what happened?” Jihyun asked.

You told them everything that happened during the fieldtrip especially the conversation you had with L.Joe and the one you had with Myungsoo at the park.

“Myungsoo’s right. You have to choose.” Minyoung commented.

“The question is who.” Jihyun pointed out.

“Guys, you know the answer to that. I feel like a jerk for being like this while he’s so kind to me. Whenever I see him, I just want to run and hug him but I can’t.”

“I’m sure L.Joe will understand.”

 

Weeks have passed, you and Myungsoo were still having the silent treatment; TeenFinite figured that it would be better to just ignore the fact, so they acted like there’s nothing wrong going on. L.Joe would always accompany you whenever you’re alone; you didn’t mind it.

The teacher posted the scenery photos taken by the senior students at the school’s lobby. Your photo was the forest when the sun was shining brightly and you wrote a song for it too.

Everyday, everyday, everyday I look for you. Just come back
After meeting you, I’ve started to circle around you like this
You won’t come back right? If you turn that handle
I’m curious of the world after going through that tightly shut door

The moment the door opens the world I knew and a different place spread
You’re opening You’re blossoming
Like this, like this, you’re quite warm
The place where my two feet touch, this everything all resembles you
I want to live here everyday, everyday
Let me live all day by your side

Reality doesn’t come. Why isn’t this a dream?
Even I don’t believe it. Is it right that you’re a human?
You don’t know right? You probably don’t know
My heart towards you is love, love love

‘Cause, you’re my earth, air, water, fire
(You’re my) earth, air, water, fire

Me who’s looking at you looking at me looking at you
You who’s looking at me, me who’s looking at you

Look into your, butter-butterflies
The sky that doesn’t end. I swim in your eyes
Only you make me shine. I can see the future
It can’t be if it’s not you
To you who made me reborn, incredible

The moment I met you, I threw away the world because it was boring
Looking at the same place, laughing and crying together
You’re quite like this, like this, like this

Reality doesn’t come. Why isn’t this a dream?
Even I don’t believe it. Is it right that you’re a human?
You don’t know right? You probably don’t know
My heart towards you is love, love love

Me who’s looking at you looking at me looking at you
You who’s looking at me, me who’s looking at you
Me who’s looking at you looking at me looking at you
You who’s looking at me, me who’s looking at you

Now I won’t go again to a place where you aren’t present
Now without you, nothing, clear away that exit
Now I don’t have anything else to hope for, will you stay with me?

The moment I cross over, I can’t go back
No, before that, I don’t have the heart to
I can’t even imagine a place without you, love, love, love

Reality doesn’t come. Why isn’t this a dream?
Even I don’t believe it. Is it right that you’re a human?
It’s quite a relief, isn’t it? That I came to know you, that we came to fall in love, love, love, love


You passed by L.Joe’s, it was a photo of you, back facing the camera. He did write a song like he said. You smiled as you read the lyrics. It was for you.

Girl you come to me like a dream 
I'll hold onto you like this and never let go
you are so beautiful to me girl 
you're my ideal girl and I fell in love with you at first sight

I'm really happy to meet someone like you
My heart is beating like this
Yeah

Whoever sees you will say you're lovely
Whoever sees you will say you're pretty
One by one are perfect
there's an angel in my heart

Your pretty face is blinding my eyes
Your bright smile is just like the sun
Like a shining star in the night sky
there's an angel in my heart

Dream this isn't a dream isn't it?
I feel like I own this world
If time stops right now
I wonder how great it will be

Even if time passes, or even if everything changes
I promise, I'll be by your side
Yeah

Whoever sees you will say you're lovely
Whoever sees you will say you're pretty
One by one are perfect
there's an angel in my heart

Your pretty face is blinding my eyes
Your bright smile is just like the sun
Like a shining star in the night sky
there's an angel in my heart

Day by day passes by
We've grown to look more like each other
I keep falling for you
Just like a scene from a movie
Like those cool main characters
I'll give my life to you

I'll always give you my smile
More than anyone else
I'll make you the happiest person
I start everyday while thinking of you
My smile stays still all the same
I'm so happy what should I do?

At the end of this tiring day
You will always stay by my side
I'm feeling thankful everyday and you become my power
I promise to stay by your side I won't change
Even if time passes, I love you, I'll protect you

Whoever sees you will say you're lovely
Whoever sees you will say you're pretty
One by one are perfect
there's an angel in my heart

Your pretty face is blinding my eyes
Your bright smile is just like the sun
Like a shining star in the night sky
there's an angel in my heart

You're always lovely
You always look so pretty
Whoever sees you will say you're perfect
there's an angel in my heart

Your pretty face is blinding my eyes
Your bright smile is just like the sun
Like a shining star in the night sky
there's an angel in my heart

You were about to walk away when a photo caught your attention. It was a silhouette of you and L.Joe, it was Myungsoo’s photo. Your feet dragged you nearer and you found yourself reading the lyrics of the song he wrote as well. You didn’t realize the tears running down your cheeks.

How do you feel? He likes you
You heard his confession yesterday
I Need U Only You

I couldn’t sleep all night
I’m afraid that you’ll leave me
Will you turn your heart and come back to me?

We’ve protected this love
I can’t let you go like this
You still make my heart race

Don’t leave me, I’m going crazy
Don’t go, I can’t take it anymore
There is no guy who will love you more than I do
Remember, I will watch over your side
To me, it’s you, it’s you

Rain is falling and I ran to your house
Will you turn your heart and come back to me?

We’ve protected this love
I can’t let you go like this
I keep having dreams that you’ll leave me
Don’t leave me, I’m going crazy
Don’t go, I can’t take it anymore
There is no guy who will love you more than I do
Remember, I will watch over your side
To me, it’s you, it’s you

I won’t ever let you go, I want to hold you in my arms
I won’t ever lose you again

Don’t leave, what about me?
DOn’t go, I will hold onto you
I don’t wanna be a fool who regrets after I lose you
Remember, I will watch over your side
To me, it’s you, it’s you


Before dismissal, the teacher announced about the fast-approaching prom night and graduation. You can feel the tension between you and Myungsoo became more awkward than already it is. It’s really hard to have him sitting beside him; same goes for him. How are you supposed to enjoy your prom night with him if you two are in this situation? You don’t even know if he wants to spend the prom night with you.
