I looked at the present.Opening the box,i discovered a silver pendant nestled inside.I looked at the picture inside to see a group photo of me and the trainees.Before i could say anything,i was engulfed in a hug.

"Please don't go."Zuo Hang said softly.

Zeyu looked sad too as the rest of the trainees came and joined the hug.

"I..I don't have a choice,do i?I've got no job anymore and all i know is how to fight..and you'll all be debuting and we won't ever be like this again..so there's no point."

"You can stay here..we'll still be here..together or not.We're here for you."Zeyu said, quietly."I'll even help with your accommodations."

"Please.."Huang shuo said and i could feel my heart twisting as i looked at him.

Zhangji didn't say anything and just stared at the floor.Tong yukun was just beside Yuhan as they both looked at me pleadingly.Mu Zhicheng seemed like he had things to say.

"I can't..i'm sorry."

"Don't go..please..i'm here."Zuo Hang said.

I'm here..was this what it's like to have a family?Was this the family Zuo Hang was talking about..one that he could not afford to lose.If i returned to the states..what did i have there?I didn't have a family.I'd just have connections and enemies and more running.Here?I had them..i had him.

I couldn't take it anymore as the world started spinning and i just dazed out in Zuo Hang's arms.

"This is giving the first time we met."Mu Zhicheng said.

"Yeah..why does she always pass out?"Zhang Junhao asked.

"I don't know..but for a secret agent and bodyguard,i expected her to not faint this much."Zimo said with a laugh.

"She's just weak."Zhang Zeyu mocked.

"Shut up Zeyu or i might just sell you to the enemy."I said as i sat up,rubbing my head.My head was pounding and the lights blinded me.

"Geez..just stating facts."Zeyu said with a slight smirk.

I rolled my eyes.

"You act like this and still wonder why people don't like you."

He just stuck his tongue out.

"How you feeling?"Zuo Hang asked as he sat beside me.

"Where am i?"I asked.

I noticed the trainees all snickering and smirking.

"My dorm room.."Zuo Hang said sheepishly.

"So this is your bed?" I asked even though i already knew the answer because of Zeyu's smirk.

"Of course..you're in your boyfriends bed."Zeyu said snickering.

I picked up the pillow and threw it at him as he ducked.

Zuo hang silently chuckled at the side.

"Careful..this face can't market well if damaged."Zeyu said.

"Not that it could even market beforehand."

"Rude much?"

"Okay okay enough..as much as i enjoy this sibling banter..we do need to give her space to breathe."Zhangji said.

"Yilin..are you really going?"Huangshuo asked.

"Yeah..your flight leaves later.."Deng Jiaxin said.

"I'm gonna miss you guys.."i said with tears welling up in my eyes.

My phone screen lit up.

Agent lion:Great news we've got a new agency and mission for you.Sending your new client's info now.

"As much as i hate to admit it,it's not going to be the same without you as my client."I said looking at Zeyu.

"What can i say?I am unforgettable."Zeyu said no longer sounding like a joke as he seemed genuinely sad now.

"It's time i guess..i'll grab my stuff to the airport now."I said.

"Let's send you off.That's the least we can do."Zhu Zhixin said as he shuffled everyone out of the room.

I got to the airport in record time.

"I guess this is goodbye.Thanks for this journey.."I said as i hugged each of them goodbye.

I looked sadly at the empty spot beside Zhu Zhixin.

"He'll regret this later..either because of me or because he'll miss you too much."Su Xinhao said.

"Make sure to take care of them and debut together..please..just one last wish.."I said.

I looked back at them as i passed the gantry.They waved goodbye as i smiled back sadly.
