"Kris proposed to Jessica yesterday," I heard Luhan say from across the room. He's packing his things because he'll go back to China today.

"She told me about it yesterday. She's complaining about how Kris proposed," I replied, chuckling as I remember Jessica whining. She never acts like a child, so this is a big deal. "Kris also got teased because of it. He says he just felt that it was the perfect time to propose," Luhan shrugged, closing his luggage.

I sat down on the bed next to his luggage, "It's sad to see you leave, but at least now, I am sure that you'll come back," I smiled and pinched his cheek. "Don't worry. I won't run away again, and if I ever will, I'll make sure to run away with you," he said and sang the song Runaway, making me roll my eyes.

"Corny," I wrinkled my nose. "Tanggap mo naman," he grinned and stuck his tongue out.

We spent the last week traveling. We also decided to move here to my house to give Jessica and Kris some space, and also for us to catch up for the time we've lost.

"If Jessica and Kris will get married this year, sino kaya next year? Wanna bet?" I asked, thinking of who could it be. Taeyeon is a strong candidate or me, but I don't know about that yet. "Ayaw, wala akong pera," he shook his head, putting his luggage down.

I stood up and ran to catch him. "Weh? Tapos may pera pambili ng ticket?" He ruffled my hair and laughed. "Stop meddling with the future, ako na bahala dun,"

"You have access to the future? Wow, I chose the right guy indeed," I said and clapped slowly. "Behave while I'm away, I'll call you when the plane lands. And Miyoung, tell your suitors you're already seeing someone else," He ordered like a mother making me laugh.

"Aye, aye captain!" I saluted.

"I don't want to leave you here," he smiled and extended his arms, pulling me for a hug. "You'll come back. That's all that matters to me, Lu," I replied as I hug him tighter.

Days have passed and Luhan's right, I became so bored that I found myself driving to Jessica's house.

"Oh, ba't ka nandito?" she asked when she saw me step out of the car. "Ang warm naman ng welcome mo. Where's Blake?" I asked, passing by her and going straight inside their house.

"May pasok 'yung bata. Pinapag-aral ko para hindi matulad sa'yo," she replied and sat on the couch in front of me. "Excuse me? Your grades were lower than mine back in high school," I scoffed and crossed my arms.
