When Two Different Fates Entwine

A lot of numbers later, the audition finally halted for a lunch break. But even with how smooth things were running, only a third of the current population had performed. At this rate, it would be evening by the time everyone finishes.
“Um, thanks again Eunae,” Sehun muttered lowly and ran off before I could respond.
Jieun laughed and shook her head. “I’m still having a hard time believing that it was really that guy who acted with you on stage.”
I nodded as I watched Sehun’s figure disappear among the student bodies. “It’s hard for me to believe as well.”
“What are you guys still doing?” I suddenly heard Lu Han say and when I turned around, he was already exiting the aisle. “Let’s go.” And with that, he went ahead without looking back.
Jieun was looking at me just as weirdly as I was looking at her. “He did not just leave us behind,” she said, staring after him in confusion.
“Uh, he did,” was the only thing I could say as I followed Jieun out. What just happened? It was so unlike Lu Han to snap at us when we didn’t even do anything wrong. Not to mention leave us behind. Hadn’t he always been the perfect gentleman? Huh. And there was that ignoring me part, too.
In the end, we lost sight of Lu Han, and we didn’t find Kris, too. Wherever they had gone off to, well, who knew? Jieun was already hungry so we just ate by ourselves. I’m sure the guys wouldn’t mind given how they’ve left us girls on our own.
Jieun had no idea either about what happened. One second, she and her brother were laughing at the stage acts and were pretty excited when I came up, and then the next second, Lu Han had gone uncharacteristically quiet and Kris was also suddenly gone from his seat.
“Then it must have something to do with mine and Sehun’s act,” I concluded as we walked back to the theater. “Why? Did we do something offensive?”
Jieun thought about it and shook her head. “Not that I can think of. I wonder what set them off.”
I shrugged. And whatever it was, I didn’t find out that day since Lu Han and Kris were missing from the rest of the audition period. Students weren’t required to watch the other auditions once they were done. Jieun and I could have gone and do something else but we were enjoying the others’ play so much so we decided to stay. And for a while, the thought of Lu Han and Kris’ confusing behaviors slipped off my mind. But only for a while.
“Goodnight.” Jieun waved as she went off to her room while I entered mine. Despite my nervous self in the first half of the day, I had thoroughly enjoyed the second half. There was one thing that bothered me though. As if the universe had just read my mind, my cell phone beeped just as I flopped on the bed. It was a text from Lu Han.
From: Lu Deer Han
Hey.
I raised an eyebrow. Hey yourself, I typed back.
From: Lu Deer Han
You must have thought I had gone nuts today. Rest assured I have not.
Then what exactly happened? I typed.
From: Lu Deer Han
Something crazy that you would never believe it.
Really? Tell me, I typed.
From: Lu Deer Han
Tell you tomorrow. Goodnight, Miss Pillow.
To: Lu Deer Han
Well, I guess that makes two of us. I have something to tell you tomorrow, too. Night~
I smiled. I knew there was an explanation of why Lu Han would suddenly act all weirdly on us. Kris, though... I willed my phone to beep, but no such luck. Dang. What happened to that guy.
Knowing he would never text me just like Lu Han did, I started typing a message.
Hey Kris, I started to type. Where did you-
A knock interrupted me and I had to fling my phone aside to get the door. I had to blink twice to make sure I wasn't imagining things when I opened it.
Kris' face, as usual, was impassive and unreadable. The only thing out of the norm was his intense gaze. With the way he was looking at me, you would think I wasn't real and he was trying to figure out when I would disappear.
"What are you doing here?" I finally asked.
At that, Kris blinked back as if he just realized that he was standing in front of me.
"Wha- Huh. What do you mean what am I doing here? What are you doing here?" He snapped back.
My eyebrows rose. "You just knocked. On my door. What do you want?"
"What? Do I have to
