[Left Turn.]

I ran faster than the speed of light with Liang Wei following behind me. She shouted out my name, but all I did was run. I need to tell Jun.

As I ran down the stairs, I realized that Liang Wei wasn't following behind me. So those track and field practices really did pay off.

I banged on the door, still in hopes that Jun was there. I twisted the doorknob, and for some reason, it was unlocked.

Liang Wei sat on the floor, holding her leg and whimpering. Jun sat beside her in an attempt to help her. You're fucked, Li Xiaohua.

"You!" She turned to me with tears in her eyes. Can one change their emotions that easily?

"Jun, you have to believe me. She tried to kill me! And-" Liang Wei cut me off, but for a second there, it looked like Jun wanted to believe me. "She only dated you for the money. She needs it for her brother." She mumbled, but intentionally said it loud enough for me to hear. What is she saying?

Jun turned to me, furious. "Jun- Jun!" I backed away from him, but he only kept walking closer. "Why?! Why, Xiaohua?! Why did you do this to me?!" He almost pulled me by the collar, but instead pushed me back onto the door. And then, Minghao joined the conversation.

"It's... It's because of this.." He waved his phone in Jun's face, in which I glanced to see it too. It was the news article in Shenzhen.

'10 year old boy severely injured in a car crash.'

The face shown, too familiar for me to believe. I almost fell on my knees.

Yan was in a car crash. That's why I, quote on quote, 'needed the money'.

Jun looked sympathetic for a second. He looked at me, almost teary-eyed. I told him about my annoying little brother when we dated, and when I called Yan on Skype, Jun and him seemed to get along well. But of course, that sympathy was only a one time thing.

"It still... It still doesn't make sense." He said it calmer this time. "You didn't need to do all of that.. If he- If-" His voice was breaking up. "Get out." Minghao escorted me out and then walked back into the apartment.

There's so much going on now. And I need to get back to China as soon as possible to help Yan. If I find out that Cheng Liang Wei was the cause of this one too, she'll never see the end of it.

I sat at the cafe near Pledis, sipping on my latte and basically rethinking life. I already bought a ticket to China, and tomorrow, I'm leaving. I'm done, done with all this bullshit.

"Meiling?!" A yell came from afar. I haven't been called that name for a while. I looked down to my lap, and realized, I was wearing the stupid dress that he bought me, Meiling. "O-Oh! Ju- I mean, Jinsong. Hi." Catch yourself Xiaohua, and just, tell him the truth.

He seemed much happier than he was yesterday. "Oh my god, when you said that you were working abroad, did you mean here? In Korea?" He had this bright smile on his face, one that I haven't seen in a long while. It somehow made me a little happy, too.

"I mean, I guess. But, how have you been?" I asked. So much for telling him the truth.

He thought for a second. "I've been great! I mean, now that I've seen you, of course." What- I mean- What does he mean by that?

"I have a girlfriend now." The word, it stunned me. I think that he means that he broke up with his girlfriend.

I gave him a face. "Oh, her name is Liang Wei. She's really great." Liang Wei. So she was able to seduce Jun and get him back. If only he knew the real reason why.
