For the Better or Worse? | Book 1 | Xiuhan/Lumin| -Rewriting-

Chapter 13: I Thought You Changed

Chen waited outside Xiumin's door. He didn't want to believe that what Luhan told him was true but his own self betrayed him and did the only thing he could do go to Xiumin's house. He just couldn't help it. The whole night was filled with questions, tossing around and mumbling stuff under his breath but in the end, he didn't get any sleep and decided to get up.

Unlike how he dressed in school he decided to make a change and bring it all his assets he has been suppressing from people. He put his black skinny jeans, a white shirt that had red paint all over it with a lion on it, marking the brand. He took out his leather jacket swiftly putting it on himself.

Then he turned on his heels, making a left turn, to the door of the bathroom to do his hair. He grabbed the gel off of the expensive shelf that was decorated by gold and blue on the sides, making it look as if they were vines, spreading around on the shelves, connecting each other perfectly. That was what Chen liked about the bathroom, how much detail it had even if it was a simple thing like the soap container.

After finishing doing his hair spiked up just a tiny bit he washes his hands grabbing his car keys and calling the man that was downstairs. Nobody knew that he was rich like the rest of the rich kids in the school. He instead chose to keep it a secret, not dressing up at all and putting on simple clothes that weren't from a famous brand collection.

What he hated most is people finding out he was rich. Having a lot of money. Fake friends was not what he wanted. That is not how he chooses to live his life. He doesn't want lies and friends who don't care about him and instead only look to invest in his in the future because of his money. He knew nothing good came with it when his parents told him and having experience when he was younger with that sort of problem.

The rich kids that did reveal that they were rich or got discovered were always being followed around or getting stared at a little longer than they should. It seemed as if everyone was trying to get everything out of them and then spilling all that they found to everyone in school. That is what Chen hated about people, gossip, human nature at its worse.

When he finally found the man that was down the stairs grabbed his own set the keys to the car and headed to the garage were 4 cars or more could be parked. The security guard followed him on his right after rushing to open the car door for the young master. Once Chen saw that he opened the passenger's seat he shook his head before leaning his head to the left, signaling the security guard that he was going to drive. With a nod of approval the security guard sat down on the passenger's seat. Chen quickly got in the driver's side putting his seatbelt on. This was sure going to be a long drive considering that he hadn't done it for a while.

Starting the engine he waited for the car to heat up so that the car was warm protecting them from the cold weather outside. Chen leaned forward to turn up the radio station. Soon afterwards he soften his voice and singing the the first words to the song.

"My love doesn't seem like it was enough. Do you not remember the memories that made our love into one? Have I really lost you to nothing? Please come back to me, my love. I miss you more than you know it. I need you here with me, standing by my side. Seeing you with someone else is my pain. You wouldn't understand stand how I feel until you're in the same place I am in right now. Please come back to me." Something stirred in Chen's stomach suddenly being impacted by the song lyrics. He stopped singing and lowered the volume of the radio suddenly not liking the song as much now.

He reversed the car and left his home. In a matter of minutes he was parked on the side of the road and watching the house to see if anyone was awake but it didn't seem like anyone else was. He inspected the driveway and sense he didn't find Xiumin's dad's car he took of his leather jacket, stepping forward to proceed to his destination. He saw in the corner of his eye a red door open and close motioning him that his driver was out of the car. He reached the door he waited for someone to open and to his surprised Xiumin answered.
