(HT) Chapter 28

Contestant Number 1 and 2

TianMi and I were comfortably walking together when FangXue decided she owned the world and to cut our moment short. TianMi instinctively hid behind me and crumpled my shirt from behind.

 

"Oh look. Our little Mimi became friends with her white knight." She smirked and crossed your arms.

 

"Leave." I sternly said, discreetly looking for TianMi's hand to comfort her, but I couldn't find it.

 

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just talking with you. Why would I leave if I'm having so much fun? Right YeShuo?" She turned her head towards a guy on her right. The guy snickered along with his group of guys and girls. I felt TianMi grip harder onto my shirt.

 

"It's him." She whispered loud enough for only me to hear. I was guessing he did something horrible to her. Maybe he's the guy that took the pictures and sent them to the whole school. That thought only enraged me and I clenched my fist to stop myself from throwing a punch.

 

"What do you want FangXue?" I spat, unable to hide my anger.

 

"Sehun!" I heard two familiar voice yell. I turned to the voices to see Luhan and Kai almost knocking Sehun off his feet. Was Sehun following me again?

 

Sehun tugged on Kai's sleeve pointing towards FangXue. Have they even met?

 

"You!" Kai yelled and marched towards us with Luhan and Sehun both trying to stop him. The three of them arrived at our sides and I could hear FangXue snickering.

 

"Well, isn't it Mr. Sehun that speaks Chinese SO well and his friends." FangXue raised her chin highly. I could have swore I heard Kai mutter : "Holy sh*t. How did her Korean improve so much from last time?"

 

"What do you want from us?" I raised my voice.

 

"Yeah! What do you want? Do you think you won't be scared of Tao with that backup you have there?" Kai shouted. I might have glared at him. He's such a reckless boy.

 

"I want my castle. There can't be two queens in one castle." She said, making an innocent face and looking directly at TianMi. This threw all us guys into confusion.

 

"What do you mean castle?" Luhan suddenly asked, a lot more calmer than any of us.

 

"She knows exactly what I mean." FangXue smirked. I could see Sehun discreetly asking for Kai to translate a few words.

 

"How about we discuss a few things together? Just us two queens." FangXue continued, taking a few steps closer.

 

"No. I don't want to." TianMi shook her head.

 

"How about we take this somewhere else? There's lots of couples that are currently on their dates. We wouldn't want to interrupt them, would we?" She smirked, gesturing the guy next to her. For some reason, that made me angry. Very angry.

 

They turned around and headed towards who knows where. That pretty much made me snap. I roughly pried TianMi's grip off my shirt and made my way to FangXue to raise her arm high in an uncomfortable position.

 

"You think you can do whatever you want? Tell us to follow you somewhere, call us names and bully TianMi? You think your so grea—" I was cut off with a strong punch to the cheek, making me let go of FangXue's arm.

 

This YeShuo guy grabbed me by the collar and pushed me away. I looked at him with a glare, prepared to lunge forward. Suddenly, I was yanked backwards and someone kicked the back of my knee, making me fall on one knee. That person was still holding my wrist tightly, so I turn around to see TianMi give me a stern look.

 

"Don't fight, Tao." She said and pulled me to my feet.

 

"Look FangXue. This has got to stop. That two queens in one castle is stupid considering that there's only one year left. I'm not even going to the same college so make that your castle. Stop trying to make my life miserable. It already is and I'm not going to defame you or something. Stop before you ruin you last year of highschool." She turned to the guy, "And you,"

 

The next thing I know, she had kicked him in between the legs, leaving the guy kneeling in pain.

 

"That's for everything." She finished and dusted her shoulders.

 

"You can't just kick him in that place and leave!" FangXue gasped.

 

"Oh right. I loved you very much before that incident. Now, not so much." TianMi faked a smile at both of them before storming away, pulling me by the shirt. She stopped in front of a frozen Sehun and gave him a look before pulling him along by his shirt. Without any other choices, Kai and Luhan followed us, leaving the two bullies behind.

 

She ended up dragging us to the noodle restaurant and chose a table that was the furthest from the window. The table was round and TianMi sat in between Sehun and I with Kai and Luhan next to Sehun respectively.

 

TianMi brought her knees up and hugged them, hiding her face. Us four guys gave one another a confused gaze before looking at TianMi again. A waitress came over to receive our orders, but Luhan told her we weren't ready yet. None of us had an idea why TianMi had brought us here.

 

"What's with TianMi?" Luhan whispered to me as he elbowed me.

 

"I don't know, why don't you ask her yourself?" I whispered back.

 

"You're closer to her, literally." He smirked and I jabbed him in the side. He yelped and that got Kai's attention.

 

"Hey, what are you two blabbering about?" He inquired. Seeing Luhan's innocent what-are-you-talking-about look, a sly smile had appeared on his lips.

 

"You know Luhan," Kai had started, "you look like LuMi a whole lot." He winked.

 

"Well duh. Why wouldn't I look like my fraternal twin?" Luhan flicked his forehead.

 

"You have a fraternal twin?" I raised my brows.

 

"Of course. Where do you think I got all the clothes and makeup to look like a girl?" Luhan said it like it was the most obvious thing ever. Kai smirked and jumped onto his lap.

 

"So, can I meet the real LuMi before I could leave?" Kai cupped his cheeks. That left a horrified Luhan who pushed him off his lap the moment he regained his senses.

 

"Never." Luhan punched his shoulder twice.

 

"Guys, not fair. What did Luhan say about LuMi? Wasn't that the name Luhan used when he dressed up as a girl?" Sehun asked.

 

"LuMi's Luhan's fraternal twin." I answered him since Luhan was too busy trying to slap a kiss on Kai's lips.

 

I felt a tug on my arm and I turned to TianMi quickly. It had been quite a while she hadn't moved and I was slightly worried. Her knees were back under the table and she was hugging my left arm after tugging it.

 

"Uhhh... What are you doing?" I asked feeling really uncomfortable. I carefully tried taking my arm away, but she only held on tighter. She buried her face in my shoulder.

 

"Did I look confident when I yelled at her?" She mumbled into my shoulder.

 

"You did." I reached out with my free hand to pat her head, but I froze in mid air when I noticed three pairs of eyes watching my every movement. I quickly put my arm that was in mid air away and pretended a girl wasn't koala hugging my left arm.

 

"Wow. Tao is in a relationship with TianMi." Luhan said in awe with a hand frozen in the air ready to slap Kai and the other hand holding the latter's collar. Sehun just spat out the water he was drinking— I didn't know where he got a glass of water when the rest of us didn't have a glass — and Kai didn't even bother wiping the water off his face from shock.

 

"What relationship?" I snapped, "I'm not dating anyone." I glared at Luhan.

 

"Then this," he pointed to TianMi on my arm. I quickly pushed TianMi away.

 

"What this?" I asked him as if TianMi was never hugging my arm.

 

"Oh guys! I have something to announce." Kai removed Luhan's hand from his collar and stood, "Ta— gurrrllgggrr" he removed the balled up napkin in his mouth that I threw at him.

 

"Shut up and sit down Kai!" I commanded and he quietly sat back down with a gulp.

 

"What are you guys talking about?" TianMi asked and Kai's eyes suddenly brightened.

 

"TianMi, are you dating Tao?" He asked like a kid asking for candy.  

 

"Oh um..." She glanced at me nervously, "Not yet..." Her face turned pink pretty quickly.

 

"OHHH~ POTENTIAL COUPLE~!" Both Kai and Luhan chorused.

 

"Shut up!" I snapped, feeling my cheeks burn. I didn't know if it was from anger or something else.

 

For some reason, I glanced over at Sehun who was biting his lower lip. Something was bothering him and I can't help but to think that it's TianMi's answer to Kai's question. He looked like he had something to say too.

 

"This is the freaking first time Tao actually liked a girl for real!" Luhan laughed, "Jesus! I need to tell everyone. This is like the once in a lifetime event! Tao likes the one and only famous TianMi." He said as he typed away on his phone.

 

"Luhan! Give me that damn phone." I reached over, but he extended his arms.

 

"You're not going to get it!" He ran around the table in circles, still typing.

 

When I was about to catch him, he sent his phone flying towards Kai and the latter successfully caught it.

 

"Can I call LuMi?" His eyes were sparkling, but darkened when he saw me going after him. "Luhan! Why did you throw me into the tiger's den!" The phone lit up, showing a call.

 

"Zhang Xing Di..." Kai muttered as he read the caller ID, "Ahh! Is it that Lay guy that came to the restaurant?" He asked. He accepted the call anyways.

 

Luhan started singing some romantic couple song in Chinese and Kai joined him even if he didn't know the lyrics.

 

"If you two don't stop, I'm gonna—" I started.

 

"Run." Luhan muttered and they both bolted out the restaurant with the phone call still connected. I was running after them, but I bumped into a waitress that had a few bowls of noodles while pursuing the two.

 

The bowls loudly shatter upon impact with the floor along with the soup splashing everywhere. I muttered a curse word under my breath before profusely apologizing for the mess.

 

"I've waited fifteen minutes for my meal and you ruin it when it was about to arrive!" The customer yelled in my face. As much as I want to retort back, I knew it was my fault. Luhan and Kai just had to provoke me.

 

The manager hurried over and bowed at the customer, "I'm so very sorry. We will prepare your meal again along with some free side dishes. Please calm down." He jabbed my side, making me bow down at the man.

 

"That is not needed. I'm leaving." The man looked at me from head to toe before angrily leaving.

 

The manager strongly pulled my ear and told one of the employees to clean the mess up.

 

"Ayayaya! The ear!" I yelped when he roughly dragged me to the back room by the ear.

 

"Tao, I know it's your day off, but you're going to have to pay for it." He scolded me.

 

"I understand." I said bitterly.

 

"I'll put it on your cheque since it seems like you were being ed on your date." He smirked.

 

"Gege!" I complained, but he had already left.

 

When I left the back room, I saw TianMi anxiously waiting at the counter. I walked over to her and got dragged out the restaurant when she saw me.

 

"We have to stop Sehun before he goes too far." She said urgently, still leading me somewhere.

 

"Why?"

 

"He said 'sorry' and ran away." She explained and picked up her pace.

 

"Why is he sorry?"


"I don't know."



[A/N]

Updating from ty hotel wifi here. I can't even properly watch dramas! Anyways if you're all wondering why I wrote "Zhang Xing Di" it's because 'Gege' is for older brother and 'Didi' is for younger brother. Hence, "Zhang Xing Di". ^~^
