Yuxin Pov

I hold my breathe when Yibo sit down beside me again. He bring Justin whom sit in the single round chair beside my position. Both of us caught each other eyes and I look away first. I can't help after know the situation. It's made me automatically awkward just to know his presence.

"It's me"I said that when Yibo stare at Xiao with gentle eyes and sighed. And my word success made him look at me from aside.

"And I don't wanna apologize for that"I look at TV now. Dunno why, but the way he seems worried at Xiao made me bit gloomy?

"Who said you need to apologize?"We caught each other eyes when he said that but then we look away again. Focus at Xiao whom still cover her face and crying while squat her body. Justin same with us. But he consistently take a peek then look away. It's happen many times. Made me wonder until when this room will just filled with sound of people which dribbling the ball. It's suffocated.

"Yibo, It's already 30 minutes since Justin here and Xiao still squatting like that"Yeah, it's already 30 minutes cause I see how clockwork in the wall moved. And no one start talking.

"I wonder too if she still okay with that position"She stop crying but still cover her face and squat her body. By the way, we talk in lowest voice of us, so it's like we whispering to each other.

"Maybe she is embarrassed?"

"Cause my word?"He look at me now while cross his hands on the chest.

"It's harsh?"I look above. Huh? I think not.

"I will not apologize"I state my argument again and he just sighed. Dunno why but I think I defended by his words. There are annoyed feeling too. Like your mom ask you to said sorry when you think you are not in fault.

"You already forget I said no one asked for it?"I did pouted my lips, show him how annoyed I am.

"Why is not you who's start talking here?"He glare at me as response.

"Why? It's not my problem"I sighed. Then who? I see view in front of me and Justin seems pondering a lot, if he will talk or not. But he stop again, looked down or looking outside.

"Don't you think it's good opportunity now?"We still talk while both of us crossing our hands.

"I don't understand"

"Don't lie"I can sense he move his head facing me. So I did same. I can see his forehead frowned. Confused.

"Then why you want three of you meet? Let just ignore my reason, cause it's just a bonus. Ah, I am dragged here~"He bit his lips, guilty with my annoyed tone in the end.

"I don't know. It's-"

"Its clear to listen from all perspective than just between two people, isn't?"He pouted and look at Xiao then Justin.

"I don't care"Maybe he said that cause he knows he is tired with this child-like problem. It's just from their past, but one of them talk big about it. Yibo is a cause of it but at the same time he is a victim too. He never intended to doing that. And he is human like the two of people here, he can hurt too. But both of them being egoistic about it, blame it on Yibo. But unconsciously, he wanna their problem solved. Maybe his responsibility as their friends? After all, there are time when they are just friends. They care to each other in the past. Or maybe he feeling responsible as the oldest between these three.

"What you wanna maybe not just hear it from Justin, from Xiao or even talk it with me. The problem not solved, Yibo. Its just ease you a bit"He take a peek at my side then back look in the front, then sighed.
