Code name:Z.H.

31

"You've changed..a lot."Zhu Zhixin said as he took in my newly dyed red highlights and short hair.

My style had significantly changed from baggy pants to leather jackets and jeans.

"Thought i should change it up..my new code name is Z.H. Zhi Han."i said.

Okay..maybe it was because i was completely missing Zuo Hang when i signed the paperwork.

"How'd you find us?"Su Xinhao asked.

We were currently seated backstage as they ate some takeout.

"Zeyu and Zhangji entered one of the agency's cafè."

"No wonder they had no one."Zhangji said.

"How've you been?"Mu Zhicheng asked as he stared at me.

I knew the underlying question under his gaze:Did i choose the right train..or was i willing to turn back?

"Relatively okay..i've been busy with missions..they've just given me a break for the next few days then i'm off for another mission."I said.

"Oh what is it?"Deng Jiaxin asked.

"Not too sure.."I said.

Meow.

I turned around to see Zuo Hang holding Ginger.

"Ginger!"I said as i got up.

"We need to talk..alone."Zuo Hang said as he signalled at the dressing room.

I held my breath as i followed him in.

As soon as the door was closed,he hugged me.

"What's that for?"I asked.

"I missed you."He said.

I hugged him back.

"I missed you too."

"I see that you're still wearing the pendant we gave you."He said as he held it.

"The amount of blood that's been splattered on that is beyond counting."

He immediately let go as i chuckled.

"I'll be honest Zuo Hang.. I don't know what i want.I want to go back to the past but i also don't know what i can do."

"Mu Zhicheng asked me to ask you if you chose the right path."He said as he sat in the chair.

"No."I said with no hesitation.

"Then what's stopping you from getting off this train and getting on the right one."

I hesitated.

"Zuo hang..i'll be honest..i love you a lot.My feelings haven't changed these past 2 months and you're all that was all my mind..but i don't know if i can bring myself to leave everything i know and am good at behind."

"Yilin..you've got us..we'll back you up until you can stand on your own again.We'll keep trying."

I stayed quiet.

"I want the answer by today.I don't want my heart to be taken by someone who doesn't want me."

"Zuo hang.."I said.

"I mean it Yilin."He said as he got up and left the room.

Ginger ambled over to me and purred as she rubbed herself against my leg.

I just sighed,rubbing her neck.

"Here Yilin."Mu Zhicheng said as he passed me a plate of food.I had stayed to watch them finish their rehearsal and now i was back at their hotel where they had all gathered in Su Xinhao's room for dinner.

"Thanks."I said,holding the food.

Ginger rested on my leg.

"Hey..you've been taking care of Ginger this whole time?"I asked Zuo Hang.

"Yeah..brought her to the vet.She got a few shots."He said nonchalantly like it was no big deal.

Mu Zhicheng laughed.

"He was such a kid when you left and every time he missed you,he'd call poor Ginger over."Zhu Zhixin teased.

"Yeah and Ginger always slept beside him."Su Xinhao added.

"Shut up guys..you are not helping."Zuo Hang grumbled.

I laughed at his childlike behaviour.

"I need my answer by 10.Don't forget."He whispered as he got up to leave.

I stayed quiet.

There was only 30 minutes left till 10.

Everyone slowly filed out of the room and went on to get ready for the night.Even Su Xinhao who left to join Zhu Zhixin.

I stared at the clock,dreading the moments till 10.

Finally,in the last minute,i held out the pendant and stared at the photo.

It was family.

He was family.

And there was nothing i could do to change that.

"I made the wrong decision."I mumbled as i quickly got up to find Zuo Hang.
