Zhang ji's pov
It has always been my dream to stay with Dao Ming every second and be her boyfriend. It came true but I always get this feeling like a very important part of me is missing. Everytime I feel it, I just shrug it off. Maybe it's because Y/N is not my best friend anymore, besides she was there since I was young. Do I regret what I did to Y/N? A part of me says no but another part of me says yes. My feelings are complicated right now."Jiji? Baby?" Dao Ming calls me. "Yes?" I asked looking at Dao Ming. She was as beautiful as always. "I'm gonna go hang out with my friends. I'll be back in the evening" Dao Ming says. I nodded skeptically. Dating Dao Ming was not how I expected it to be. Although I feel joy dating my crush, it was bad at the same time.
Dao Ming would go out a lot and be back late and sometimes she never comes back to the dorm. When I ask her where she was, she would answer with a simple reply, "I was with my friends" I started doubting Dao Ming but I often force myself to trust her. Before I could utter another thing, the front door clicked shut. A sigh left my mouth.
Y/n's pov
I thought of whether I should take a stroll like neighborhood again or not. Last time's experience wasn't very great. You know what I mean, the Dao Ming and Zhang ji problem. I looked down at my stomach, it was getting chubbier because of me eating junk food almost everyday.After I good 5 minutes of staring at the wall not doing anything, I decided to go for a walk, not in the same place as yesterday though. I decided to wear something warm since it was getting cold. It's November right now.
I made sure to lock the door before I head out. I sauntered around watching the peaceful street and neighborhood. I was sauntering until I looked ahead to see someone running in a rapid speed. I was about to dodge by moving but BAM! The person already hit me.
I slipped and fell down followed by the person. I saw the long hair so there is more chance the person might be a girl. I groaned in pain because my bum hurts. I heard a sniffle so I turned to the person. I got up and dusted my bum area. The person was just sitting wiping her eyes. Oh shit! Did she or he fall pretty hard? I offered a hand to the person but she/he just remained still.
I crouch down to the eye level of the person and the person just ducked down further. "What's wrong?" I asked. The person didn't say anything but sniffle. I sighed and continue to question the person, "is it because if the fall?" The person finally replied but not with she/he's voice. She/he shook his/her head.
After minutes of trying to cheer up the person without knowing the reason I soon gave up. "Mind your own business" a the person says with a feminine voice. "Look if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me. I'm just trying to cheer you up but I guess that didn't help. I'm sorry. I'll go now." I said as I proceed to walk away. As in the process of walking away, the person grabbed my hand. I look back to see a girl with bloodshot eyes.
I examined her face. Some of the features were familiar. "Let's go sit somewhere nearby" I suggested. She nodded and we sat on a seat nearby. I asked her why she was crying and she was hesitant to tell me at first but told me anyways, "I got in a fight with my parents and ran away. They would always favour my sister even though all she does is party everyday. 4 months ago she went to another city to attend college. She was a bad sister, she never loved me and never cared for me. She would always mock me and bully me. My parents often see what she does to me but never stop her. My father is a business man but he does illegal stuff most often. I found out once that my father had dept to pay and I almost got taken by their men. Today I needed to pay the money for school, it was like a monthly paycheck, I asked and pleaded them for money but they told me that they worked for it and they are not giving me for free. I couldn't put up with them anymore so I took some money while they didn't know and ended up in this new city."
I stare at her mouth parted and eyes wide. I was speechless. "May I know who your sister is?" I ask hoping not to make her uncomfortable. "Dao Ming" I gasped out loud and she looked at me in confusion. "You know her?" She asks. I nodded. "Are you her friend?" She asks again about to leave any second if I said yes. "No", I say awkwardly, "we're more like foes" "what did she do to you?" I explained her about what happened to Zhang ji and I because of her.
"She's always like that. Stealing people's boyfriends, Best friends and families." I nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry on behalf of my sister" She apologized. "It's fine. It's not your fault" I reassured, "By the way I haven't get to know your name yet. I'm Y/N" "My name's Zuyi" We chatted for a while telling each other about our daily lives. Zuyi also got to know that Dao Ming goes to my college and she was planning on staying somewhere but she doesn't really know where to go since this is her first time here so I offered my dorm. She agreed and said that she would come by tomorrow to move in.
We bid goodbye to each other but before she could go I queried, "Friends?" Zuyi replied with a captivating smile, "Friends"
