The City of Love and Pain

Forever and Eternity

The past few weeks have been normal. You still see that strange guy from the gate but Aria would always talk to the teacher about having the security guards keep him away from the school. Aria was always around to give you advice and support you but Xiao Kai, Wang Yuan and Qian Xi haven't been home before 12 midnight lately. You would wait until you fell asleep in the living room and wake up on your bed the next day. The three of them have been really busy because of their entertainment life nowadays and you barely had anytime to have fun with them or go on dates with Xiao Kai. Even during recess and lunch, a lot of people would get in between of the four of you that you weren't able to even see them. During class lessons, the teacher would always scold the four of you for talking but you and Xiao Kai still wrote messages to each other. He would often apologize for not being able to talk to you and have fun but everytime he says it. It only makes you more disappointed. You always see them on TV as well but you haven't talked to them for a long time and you missed doing so.

One day, you were walking back to the hostel alone because you didn't feel well so you decided to take the rest of the day off. On your way back to the hotel, you felt the strange guy, that always stands next to the gate, following you. You turned around immediately and everything went black. The next time you opened your eyes, you were in a dimly lit room that only has a chair in the middle of the room and you were tied to the chair. You couldn't speak because someone taped your mouth.

"My guess is that you don't remember me but it doesn't matter. My name is Jeremy and I was deeply in love with you but you didn't love me back. That was what lead me to this."he said with a crazy smile.

"If I can have you. Nobody can."he said while laughing maniacally.

The next few days were like torture. He would force you into clothes and take dozens of pictures of you in it. Then he'll print those pictures out and paste it on the empty walls of where you were held captive. He would feed you food and you would only take one bite before shutting your mouth. In those few days, you looked like a lifeless doll. You wanted to fight back but then you remembered your promise with Xiao Kai. You promised him that you would never look at someone with such cold eyes and you would never dirty your hands but that wasn't the only reason why you didn't fight back. The main reason you didn't fight back was because you wanted to believe in Xiao Kai. You wanted to believe in the four of them. Xiao Kai, Aria, Wang Yuan and Qian Xi. You never wanted to lose faith in them. You believed in them. You believed that they would save you from Jeremy.

The only words you've spoken to him was none. You didn't even want to look at him in the face and he would often get pissed off. When he gets pissed off, he would starve you for a few days before letting you eat again. The few days of hell was nothing compared to how you would feel if Xiao Kai never loved you. You kept having those type of thoughts that would make you feel better but you would then lead to thoughts like 'What off he never did like me? What if he would never like someone like me? '

You thought to your self and then tears would flown down your face. On one of those terrible nights, you heard one of the doors in the building open and you heard a commotion outside. You lifted your face up as the light from outside the room shone on you. Standing at the door were the four of them, you were so glad but disappointed a little because it took them such a long time.

"(y/n)! Are you okay? I am so sorry for not being able to rescue you any sooner."Aria said while giving you a hug and Wang Yuan and Qian Xi untied you. The minute your hands and legs were free you ran to Xiao Kai for a hug. You were expecting him to hug back but he just stared at the floor blankly.

"Wh-what's wrong, Xiao Kai?"you asked him with a worried face.

"It's just that. I've let you down again. I could've arrived sooner but I didn't. I let you get tortured by him in this room for five days. I could never imagine how dreadful those days were."Xiao Kai said still staring at the floor blankly.

You couldn't help it. You couldn't stop yourself. You could even slow yourself down from placing your lips on his again. The few weeks of not having that feeling was worse than hell.

"I'm sorry for doing that but I just want you to know that it's okay. I never lost faith in any of you. I have and always will believe in all of you. Especially you, Xiao Kai, I will never ever not even in a million years that I will lose faith in you. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to talk to the three of you and you didn't rescue me as soon as I thought but what is important is that you are here now. "You said as tears slipped down the corner of your eyes.

"I am disappointed in myself for not being able to rescue you much earlier than you thought but I am very proud of myself to be able to find such a great girlfriend and fiancé. I promise I will talk to our manager to give us more free time or maybe the two of you can come with us to our studio. I am so so so sorry for not spending more time with you."Xiao Kai said as he pulled you into a hug. You smile from his choice and you nodded with Aria in agreement.

"Great! Let's go before that guy outside gets reinforcements."Wang Yuan said as he ran out if the room and the rest of us followed. Xiao Kai stopped outside the room and looked into your eyes filled with honesty ans told you sweet words that are,

"I will love you forever and for eternity. "
