🖤CHAPTER 27💛

Jiaqi stood at the rooftop looking down to the streets. Everyone looked so small. He paced back and forth waiting, it was 7:50. 10 minutes till when they were supposed to meet. He had been worried all day since he hadn't seen Meiqi at all but chose to believe she would come.

7:55, 7:56, 7:57, 7:58, 7:59, every minute felt like 10 minutes. He didn't exactly know what he wanted to say, he just wanted to fix the issue that had been around for so many days. Finally, it was 8:00. Jiaqi was staring at the door, waiting for a figure to show up.

Minutes passed, then quarter, then half an hour. It was 8:30 PM now, Meiqi was nowhere to be seen. Is she really not going to come? Regardless, Jiaqi said he would wait so he kept waiting. Another quarter passed. And then another. It was now 9 PM. Meiqi was still not there. Jiaqi was beginning to lose hope, the more time passed, the less sure he was that she would show up.

Meiqi's POV

After hearing what Chengxin said Meiqi had ran off into the streets to find somewhere quiet to be. She noticed some stares from others, making her even more stressed. She had found an isolated park and decided to sit there. She hadn't noticed how much time had passed, she had just observed the sun setting. And then the sky turned darker and darker...

Until she suddenly remembered what Jiaqi said to her. She jumped up from the bench and panicked. Meiqi had no idea what time it was, she had left her phone at TF Ent when she rushed out. She looked for someone to ask what time it was. She noticed a high schooler that seemed friendly enough to be spoken to.

"Excuse me, do you know what time it is?"

"It's 9:03", the girl said, showing Meiqi her phone.

Meiqi gasped, she was over an hour late. "Thank you", she said as she sprinted off. She looked left and right to try to see which direction she was supposed to go. She had ran so far off that she actually had no idea where she was anymore. The worst part was she also didn't know the address of the building with the rooftop. Meiqi didn't realize how far off she had ran until now. She broke down on the streets, squatting there silently crying again.

Some people around here were now whispering and pointing at Meiqi. She wanted to control herself but really couldn't. Another girl approached her from the streets, "Hey are you ok?"

Meiqi sniffled while explaining that she was lost and couldn't find her way to the building that she was looking for.

"A building that faces China Zun? Uhhh, that's a whole lotta buildings.", the girl said jokingly trying to make Meiqi feel better.

"Hmmm is there anything distinct about the building? Like what does the outside look like or are there stores in there?", she proceeded to ask.

"I dont know...", Meiqi was trying hard to think. "I just know in the building there are some floors that provide vocal/music lessons..? I'm actually not sure about that either, that's what my friend said".

"Building that provide vocal/music lessons facing China Zun....". "Wait are you a trainee?", the girl asked.

Meiqi wanted to lie, if people saw someone from TF Ent crying on the streets it was not going to look good on them. The girl took a closer look at her. "Wait. Liu Meiqi??"

Meiqi didn't know what to say. "Omg you really are Liu Meiqi!!", the girl jumped into excitement. "I know the building that you're talking about I'll bring you there".

"Really?", Meiqi couldn't tell if the girl was lying or actually knew where she needed to go. After all her description was rather useless... "Yea, I do. Let's go", she said dragging Meiqi up.
