Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ 13: NEW I-LANDERs

Leesu's POV

I can't get up, I can't look up, seeing some of the drop out is my friends.

Me being a cry baby stop myself with all my power from crying. Some of you might think that it's too sensitive but that's what I felt, I cry with small things- I hate that, I hate crying.

I just played with my fingers trying to calm down myself with this intense situation we are- when a hand stop what I'm doing.

"E~". I automatically looked up to hear that voice.

"I'll be back, okay?". He said, trying to flash his smile but his eyes tell the truth.

"You'll be okay?". I asked, pursing my lips together.

"Of course, I'll be fine. I will back next week so watch out for that". He chuckled.

"You better be! I will miss your scrambled eggs". I just pout to totally stop tears wanted to come out my eyes.

"I will cook you scrambled eggs when I get back so secure your spot, okay?". I nodded eagerly, finally smiling seeing him smiling too.

"See you next week". I hugged him, I put my chin on his shoulder while his hand on top of my hair hugging me back.

After that Sunghoon, Jungwon and Heeseung say goodbye to Jay too for the mean time.

I looked around and saw everyone busy saying goodbye to the drop outs.

I went to Ni-Ki and Daniel, I comfort the two youngest. I didn't say anything, I just hug them. I don't know what to say, just hoping that my hug will somehow comfort them.

Next is Nicholas who also good to me. I just send good luck to them and proceed to the person who's been away from the other Ilanders.

"Hey...". I called him, he looked up and stop walking back and forth.

"I'm fine". He said and smile at me.

"Well, I'm not buying that. It's not your fault, just remember that because I won't speak too much. It's the fcking microphone's fault- I'm sorry for the bad word". I quickly apologize that made him laughed.

"You've been a good listener and a good friend to me even though we just meet a week ago. I will do my best to get back next week, so you better don't replace me with new Ilanders!". He pout. I stop myself laughing at him.

"I won't! As if I can initiate the talk". I chuckled laughing at my poor communication.

"I-LANDERS, it's time to get in the gate". Heeseung joined and said goodbye to Jake, he's crying because he also got close to Jake.

I waved to the 6 ex-ilanders while caressing Heeseung's back to calm him down.

"We'll be back!". Jay shouted. I waved my hands at him, he smile and waved back before the gate finally closed.

They left, and for the first time it feels empty. We're only 7 here, but the other 6 will be here in a minute. The lobby is in silence.

"They will back, you crying idiot". I slightly slap Heeseung's shoulder to calm him down.

"As if you won't miss Jake". He said back but with something with his voice.

"What do you mean, huh?". I raised my eyebrows but he just looked at me teasingly, I saw that look already.

"It's not like that, you judgemental. He's my friend". I replied and give him threatening stare.

"Oh, so you haven't moved on with Nico-ssi-"
