It was three in the morning and Luhan was just finishing up his homework from school. He blamed himself from not doing it earlier. 

"Okay so x equals to thirteen. Done!" Luhan yelled. 

He was so sleepy that his eyes could not open up fully. He dragged himself to bed and pulled off his shirt. he was too tired to even take a shower. He threw himself on his bed and pulled up his covers. 

Just as he was entering his dreamland, he heard his phone ring. Luhan decided to ignore it and cover his ears with his pillows. He thought his phone will stop ringing but it kept up its stubborn ringing.

Luhan let out a frustrated groan and walked towards his phone.

"What?" Luhan said into his phone angrily.

"What took you so long to answer?" a familiar voice on the other line asked him.

"Li Ying? What the heck are you doing up at three in the morning?" Luhan asked.

"Why are you asleep at three in the morning?" Li Ying laughed,"You are such a baby."

Luhan exhaled deeply and massaged his temples. "Why are you even calling me?" he asked.

"Because I'm bored."

Luhan face-palmed himself. He wanted to strangle that girl so badly. He did not care if she was a girl or not. Luhan really hated people disturbing his sleep. 

Suddenly, he heard three knocks on his balcony's door. Luhan turned around and saw Li Ying waving frantically at him. Luhan's eyes widened.

"Aren't you gonna open this door?" Li Ying said as she huffed impatiently, putting her hands on her hips.

Luhan scurried to the door and opened it. Li Ying invited herself in and gazed around Luhan's huge room. 

"Woah, this is one giantic room!" Li Ying said as she started touring around the room.

Luhan ran his hand through his hair frustratedly. "Can you tell me why are you here in my room at three in the moring?" Luhan finally asked her. 

Li Ying just gulped and stared at Luhan for a long time.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Luhan asked as he started to wipe his face with his hands. 

Li Ying shook her head and just pointed at Luhan's body. Luhan looked down and realized that he was topless. Luhan cursed and quickly put his shirt on.

"Aww. You didn't have to put your shirt on. I was enjoying the sight," Li Ying joked as she wiggled her eyebrows. 

Luhan just glared at her and asked her why was she in his room for the second time.

"Because I was bored," Li Ying shrugged and sat down on his bed. 

"You're lying."

"No I'm not!" 

"Yes you are!" 

"Okay, okay! Fine, smart pants. I'll tell you the truth," Li Ying grunted and crossed her arms,"My parents were fighting-again-and the fight got so bad that they started talking about divorce. I couldn't stand what I was hearing so I took my skateboard and ta-da, I am here in your room!"

Luhan nodded understandingly.

"Oh and do you want to go out for lunch with me tomorrow?" Li Ying asked Luhan.

"Sorry, I can't. I need to go pick Hye Ri up from the airport," Luhan apologized.

Li Ying groaned sadly and faked a smile. "I-It's okay! You don't need to apologize. I shouldn't have asked you in the first place," Li Ying said as she walked towards the balcony's door. 

Luhan put his chin on his fist and puffed his cheeks. He could see the sad look on Li Ying's face that made him feel guilty. 

"Alright. I'll go with you to lunch," Luhan finally spoke up. 

Li Ying's eyes brightened up. "Really?" she smiled. 

"Only for lunch. Nothing more. I do not want to be late in picking up Hye Ri." 

Li Ying nodded and opened the balcony door. "Meet me in front of Starbucks at Myeongdong at exactly twelve in the afternoon. Don't be late. I'll kick you in the shin if you are late," Li Ying said and with that, she climbed down the pillar like a spy on a mission. 

Luhan was amazed at her amazing climbing skills. He locked the door and crawled back into his bed. He was awfully tired. 

He closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep. 

 

 

The next morning, Luhan woke up because he heard someone knocking on his door. 

He jerked up from his bed and checked the time: 12:05 p.m

"Shoot," Luhan cursed and rushed to the bathroom. He didn't want his shin to be kicked by that vicious and unexpectedly strong girl. 

He brushed his teeth so fast that his gum started bleeding. Luhan groaned in pain and quickly gargled his mouth. He splashed his face with water and put a plain blue shirt and jeans on.

Grabbing his phone and wallet, he ran out of his room and said "Bye" to his parents before running down the stairs and out of the door.

Luhan jumped into his porche and zoomed out of his house's gate as quick as light. His heart started beating faster as usual when pictures of what Li Ying may do to torture him flashed in his mind. 

He gulped and stepped on the gas. He even crossed two red lights! 

After five minutes, he reached the Myeongdong street. He parked his car at the side of the road and ran towards Starbucks. Luhan saw Li Ying standing outside of Starbucks, checking her watch impatiently while tapping her foot. 

Luhan wiped the bead of sweat off his forehead and walked up to her. "Hey Li Ying! I'm--" Luhan started but he got cut off when Li Ying put her finger close to his mouth, asking him not to talk. 

"Ten minutes and thirty-eight seconds late!" Li Ying shook her head and walked towards Luhan's car. 

Luhan sighed in relief when he saw Li Ying dissapear around the corner. He was glad that she had forgotten to kick him in the shin. 

Suddenly, Li Ying ran up towards Luhan and kicked him hard in the shin. Luhan lost his balance and tumbled onto the ground. "Phew! Almost forgot that!" Li Ying said and spun on her heels. 

People started to crowd around asking Luhan if he was okay. Luhan forced himself up and nodded. He dragged his left leg towards his car and glared at Li Ying who was crossing her arms. 

"Does it hurt?" Li Ying asked.

"Not at all! I'm just dragging my left leg as I walk because I felt like walking like a total idiot!" Luhan said sarcastically as he unclocked his car and sat on the driver's wasseat. 

Li Ying stuck out her tounge and sat on the passenger's seat. 

Hye Ri was awokened by the sound of glass shattering onto the floor. 

She jerked up from her bed and pushed her covers aside. She quickly rushed out of her bedroom to see what was happening. 

The only thing she saw was Hyun Woo squating down, picking up the broken pieces of glass. "What happened?" she asked as she helped Hyun Woo to pick up the pieces of glass.

"Don't!" Hyun Woo yelled but Hye Ri had already cut herself when she was picking up a really sharp and big piece of glass. 

Hyun Woo threw the pieces of glass in his hands and brought Hye Ri to the bathroom to wash off the blood on her finger. 

"Such a careless girl," Hyun Woo snickered and handed some antiseptic cream. 

"So, what actually happened?" Hye Ri asked again. 

"My favorite TV show was on and I was running towards the TV with the glass of water in my hand when my toe hit the side of the sofa making me fall, sending the glass to fly up in the air!" 

"Who's the careless one now?" Hye Ri laughed and walked out of the bathroom.

Both of them were currently in Himchan's apartment. Himchan insisted that they go back to rest while he took care of Hye Ri's mother.

After an hour or so, the both of them walked to the hospital. 

"Aren't you supposed to be in the airport by now?" asked Hyun Woo.

Hye Ri stopped her tracks and sighed. She shifted in her space uncomfortably before answering. "I..I'm not going back," she finally answered.

Hyun Woo spun on his heels and stared at her. "You're what?" he asked. 

"I've decided. I'm not going back."

Hyun Woo was of course, happy in side but the big question was: Why isn't she going back?

"What about Luhan?" Hyun Woo asked.

Hye Ri groaned. She really didn't think twice about this decision. What should she do? Call him and tell him that she's not coming back? No. He'll probably fly to London. 

"I don't know! That's the problem!" Hye Ri sighed and burried her face in her hands. 

Hyun Woo shifted in his space awkwardlly. Usually, at these kind of time, Hyun Woo would probably think of something to help his best friend. But right at that moment, nothing came into his mind.
