It's 5 am, but Patrick already wake up and done brushing his teeth. Patrick left his room and entered Lin Mo's, waking up his brother who still sleeping. After successfully waking Lin Mo, Patrick went down to living room. He saw Bo Yuan already take a shower and enjoying his breakfast.
"Ge... there any breakfast for me too?" Patrick greeted Bo Yuan who eating toast with peanut butter in living room while watching TV. Patrick became hungry when he saw Bo Yuan having breakfast.
"Take it." Bo Yuan push his plate on table with one piece of toast left.
"How about gege?"
"Eat I've eat two already."
"Thanks gee." Patrick took toast and sit beside Bo Yuan.
"Are they awake yet? Why is it so quiet...?" Said Bo Yuan.
"Lin Mo just woke up, that's because I woke him up too." Patrick laughed sweetly at his gege.
As scheduled, this afternoon INTO1 will perform their first single Into The Fire, and at 9 am they should be at Tencent building for fans meeting with Tencent staff. That's why all members today prepare more early to get ready at 8 am.
"Oh gee! Phi Nine! I have to wake him up too..."
"You're right. I think Xiao Jiu still not wake up." Said Bo Yuan. Patrick immediately stand up and went to Nine's room with toast he bit in his mouth. Patrick knocked door then immediately tried to open Nine's room door. However, that door was locked.
"Phi Nine!? Phi!" Patrick knocked again.
"Are you awake?!" Said Patrick from outside. It took a long time to Patrick hear answer from his Phi, then...
"Paipai... Can you tell Liu Yu to come here...?" Patrick heard Nine's voice.
"Phi, are you okay?"
"I'm okay. Please tell Yu ge for me..."
"Okay Phi, I'll tell him." Patrick was about to leave, but he came back to the door.
"Phi, are you really okay?"
"Yeah Paipai, Phi okey."
"Okay..." Patrick knew there was something different about his Phi's voice, but Patrick decided not to worry too much because Nine said he was okay.
Patrick went back upstairs, passed Bo Yuan, then went to 3rd floor. Liu Yu and Keyu's room wasn't closed, so Patrick went straight in.
"Patrick!" Keyu who was tidying his bed greeted Patrick.
"Daniel, you already took a shower right? We're leaving in two hours." Patrick asked with a very sweet smile. Anyone who sees that smile will surely be blessed that morning.
"I'm just want to take a shower now." Answer Keyu.
"Where's Liu Yu gege?"
"He's in shower, just finished." Keyu said while looking at bathroom. Not long after that, Liu Yu appeared with wet hair wearing T-shirt, shorts and a towel around his neck.
"Morning our didi." Liu Yu greeted Patrick who was sitting on his bed. Liu Yu turned on hair dryer and dried his hair. Until finally he heard Patrick's voice.
"Yu ge, Phi Nine is looking for you."
"When?" Liu Yu immediately turned off hair dryer and looked at Patrick.
"Just now. I'm in his room but he didn't open his door and asked me to call you."
"He's still there?" Asked Liu Yu, Patrick nodded. Hearing that, Liu Yu quickly left leaving Patrick who was still confused.
"Liu Yu..." Bo Yuan saw Liu Yu come down from upstairs and was about to say hello, but Liu Yu rushed into the basement.
"Xiao Jiu..." Liu Yu knocked door.
"Yu ge, that's you?" Liu Yu heard Nine's voice from inside.
"Yeah it's me..." Not long after that, Nine opened the door and asked Liu Yu to come in.
"Yu ge... My face..." Nine said. Liu Yu couldn't say anything, now he saw Nine's eyes were very puffy.
"What should I do? I can't appear with a face like this..." Nine was about to cry.
"Sit down." Liu Yu took Nine to sit on bed, checking how bad puffiness he has. Liu Yu looked at Nine's wet hair.
"Did you shower?" Asked Liu Yu, Nine nodded while holding back his tears.
"Sit here, I'll bring some ice." Liu Yu rush left and went to kitchen. He opens freezer and took his stainless ice cube and go back to Nine's room.
Liu Yu took a chair and sit front of Nine with a bowl with stainless ice cubes freshly out of freezer.
"What's that?"
"It'll deflate puffiness under your eyes. I use this often when I'm not have sleep enough. Come closer..." He took two stainless ice cubes and placed them under Nine's eyes.
"Cold?" Asked Liu Yu.
"So cold..." Nine tried to smile, after that atmosphere became quiet again.
"Did you cry all night...?" Liu Yu's face was very close, watching Nine's face, which looked lack of sleep. Nine didn't answer...
"Yu ge, sorry for bothering you... I call you because I don't want other members to see me like this."
"You've do right thing." Liu Yu smiled.
"When you need anything, just tell or call me." Said Liu Yu again. Nine looked at man front of him and nodded.
"Give it to me. I'll do it myself." Nine wanted Liu Yu to give that ice to him.
"Let me do it. I'll stop if your puffiness gone." Nine obey, then fell silent deep in thought, and after a while... Nine started crying again. Liu Yu watched it, the tears flowed and wet on ice that Liu Yu held under Nine's eyes.
Liu Yu couldn't to stop Nine from crying, because he knew Nine had been holding back those tears all the time. If that tears came out, it meant Nine could no longer hold them back.
He had cried all night, but his tears still not ending. Yeah... Nine told Liu Yu about Nine and Mika broke up last night, although Nine didn't say the reason why they broke up to Liu Yu.
"Yu ge sorry..." Nine apologized again because he couldn't stop crying.
"Are you going to keep crying? I can't help you wipe your tears because my hands are so busy right now." Liu Yu smiled, he tried to comfort Nine. Nine shook his head and smiled, then wiped his tears.
After an hour, Nine's puffiness finally got better. And Liu Yu...? Don't ask, his hands totally benumbed to death. Liu Yu just hoped that Nine only come to him when he needed anything. Liu Yu wanted Nine to rely on him in everything.
