After taking the long hot bath, he lit up the cigarette. He was a tad regretful for not trying cigarette earlier in his life because it was addictive and could take his mind off things for a moment. Yixing got off from the bathroom sink and made his way out to the room. Once he got out, he saw Seolhyun putting down his phone. He tutted quietly. 

“They called, isn’t it?” 

The sudden approached made her jumped a little. She nodded her head nervously. Yixing made his way to the closet and grabbed some fresh clothes to put on. It’s been days since he last went to school. Guess it was time to focus back on the reality. 

He tossed the bud into the dustbin and put on his leather jacket whereas the red hair girl watched every moves that he made. “Aren’t you gonna tell me anything?” she asked softly, not wanting to piss the man off. He pushed his hair back in frustration and groaned. “You know what I’m gonna say to you, Kim Seolhyun?” he turned around and his eyes darted into hers. “We’re over.” And by that, he stormed away from the house, leaving the girl perplexed, mad, disappointed and speechless. 

He opened the door to his house and he could smell the food being prepared by his mom. “Xingtou? Is that you?” his mom cooed. He cleared his throat and fixed his hair. Breathed in deeply, he plastered a smile and walked to his mom. He hugged her from behind and kissed the side of her forehead. “Hi mom, I miss you.” he said as he let go of the hug. His mom smiled and ruffled his hair. “You should come home more often, Yixing ah,” 

“I wish I can mom but school has been hectic.” he lied. It was easier to lie than to tell the truth. He wasn’t so sure if he could ever tell his mom the truth. “Hmmm, it’s okay,son. Are you going to stay for dinner? Are you inviting Hyuna? It’s been so long since I’d last seen her,” she said while mixing the onions into the soup. Yixing sighed quietly. “Erm, I’ll try calling her later on, okay?” 

He went upstairs to his old bedroom and closed the door. He leaned against the door and breathed in the familiar warm scent of his previous life in his room. His eyes began to form tears. Yixing knew that his condition was getting better and sometimes, he could see things but he wasn’t so sure whether or not they were the truth or just the make up parts of his memories. Deep inside him, he suspected her. She was the reason why he became like this. All messed up. All ed up. 

He sat on the bed and touched the fabric of his bed sheet. It felt so foreign for him as if he had never come to this house before. He looked around, observing his surrounding and trying to remember as much as possible. He did had the feels where everyone was lying to him but he couldn’t be so sure about it. 

Yixing fished out his phone from his pocket and rang Hyuna. It went straight to voice mail. He called a number of times but the same thing happened; she didn’t answered the phone call. “God,” he sighed and closed his eyes. Just when he was about to take a nap, his phone rang violently beside his head. 

“Hello,” 

“Ya, you better come down here,” the boy said on the other side of the line. 

“Why?” he asked lazily.

“Kim Hyuna.. your Hyuna.. she’s in the hospital right now,” 

“What the- With who?!” he instant sat down, panic rushed inside him. 

“Baekhyun is with her right now,” 
“I’m on my way,”

Baekhyun dropped to his knees when he saw Hyuna. Her hand was dripping with blood and she was lying unconsciously. Her face was pale. He held her with his trembling hands. “H-hyuna.. can you hear me?” he asked, hoping a reply. She didn’t even twitch a bit. He placed his fingers at the pulse at her neck to check her pulse. He could feel a the faint movement there. Without wasting any seconds, he lifted her up and rushed to the nearest hospital. 

He was lucky that he sent her earlier or else she would have lost her life. He stared at the fragile body in front of him. He had texted Jongin and Hyomin few minutes ago but he had no heart to text Yixing. He knew that the boy wasn’t in his normal state and telling him about this only gong to trigger the worst part of him. Baekhyun was scared that this incident would effect Yixing’s brain healing progression. 

The platinum haired boy held Hyuna’s hands and brought it closer to his mouth. He blew on it softly. “Ya, you idiot. This is the part where you should be awake and said that I am a weirdo and you will hit me for blowing your damn cold hands,” he said jokingly even though he knew deep inside him it wasn’t near funny. He stared at her features. She had no bruises so he guessed that that Jiwon dude didn’t do anything to her. 

Just when he started to recall his embarrassing fight with the enemy, Hyuna eyes blinked opened and that made the small boy to get on his feet. He waited for her to speak. Hyuna only stared at him and he noticed that her eyes became teary. He shook his head, “No.. no, Hyuna.. no.. no no no,” he kept on repeating on that. No need any words to explain he already knew what she meant. 

“Don’t give up yet, please.” 

BANG!

The door suddenly opened and a running Yixing came in. His eyes were bloodshot red and he was sweating. “Hyuna,” was the first thing he said. The two adolescents watched at their friend patting like hell. She couldn’t help but to smile at his presence. “Zhangyi,” she said softly it was barely audible. 

Yixing walked to her side and kneeled down. “Damn, what were you thinking,” he held her hands and looked at her from head to toe. Her wrist was wrapped with the cloth and he knew she cut again. “, Hyuna.. I’m sorry,” he pleaded, almost begging. “I.. I’m not ready to lose you.. not like this..” he leaned in and rest his forehead against hers. 

Quietly, Baekhyun left the room, giving them some space. 

Hyuna closed his eyes, enjoying the moment. It’s not like it’s always Yixing like this. “Don’t leave me. Ever,” she mumbled and he nodded. He softly kissed the side of her head and the top of her head. “I won’t, I promise,” 

Something inside her broke when she heard the word ‘promise’ came out from his mouth. Anyhow, she swallowed the pain and let it go. She wasn’t so sure that he will keep the promise once he knows the truth.

Days after that, Hyuna and Yixing went to school like always and people couldn’t help but to talk about them. Their sudden leave and sudden comeback had made the others to create endless speculations about them. However, none of them would even care less and they lived the life that they always had before. 

The practice for their performance still went on. They practiced almost everyday and had small performances for small events that the school had set up for few of the students. Everyone was busy with their own task and the voting. 

Jongin walked down the streets and enjoyed the night view of Itaewon. Everyone was busy rushing here and there, eating, shopping and just walking with bunch of friends. The city was always alive at night, filled with teenagers that were trying to get along in the outside world. Either in bad or good way that was on them to think and act. He pushed both of his hands in his jacket’s pockets and continued walking. 

At first he wanted to invite Hyomin as well but the girlfriend was too busy practicing with Hyuna, she wanted the whole day for practicing and they can date some other time. He wasn’t taken back at all with her request because he knew that she was a hardworking student and she knew where she stood in the crowd. 

“Oppa!”

His jolted into a break and turned around. He knew the voice so well yet he was still shock to know who it was. The petite girl with long silky black hair was standing there in front of him. She had a very big grin stuck on her face and she was waving hyperly to him. “Luyi, what are you doing here?” he asked as the girl walked closer to him. “urm, my father is here on bussiness trip and I decided to follow because I wanted to see you. Thus, I want to know how is my Zhang Yixing gege doing.” 

Jongin swallowed hard. It’s not that he forgot to do the task but he had no heart to make the progress faster than it is. The girl saw the sudden changed of expression on his face and she frowned. “Don’t tell me you didn’t do it yet, oppa,” she said with a threatening voice. Jongin instantly shook his head and ruffled her hair. “Ayye, of course I did. You’re my favorite person in the world.” 

Luyi was actually Jongin cousin and he loved her more than his life because, well, he owe her a life and he would do anything to repay it. 

Luyi smiled again and hopped a little. “Gya, I can’t wait till Yixing remembers me again. Then we could live happily again in Beijing!”
