"He's so gonna flip once he sees you," Tooya said as he escorted the petite girl through the corridors of the dorm house.

"Thanks, Tooya," she beamed. "It wasn't easy getting to this."

"Hey, no problem!" The elder assured, ruffling his bronze locks a little in embarassment.

She felt excitement bubble up in her lower belly. She's been planning this day for almost four months—finally getting her own passport, saving up lots for a ticket and finally heading to China to celebrate their second anniversary.

Her grip on the paper bag tightened a little. I wonder how he'd react? I'd love to see his surprised, sleepy face.

"Can I ask what's in that pretty gift of yours, mei-mei?" Tooya asked as they slowed down a little.

"It's a secret," she said with a mischievious little wink. They both laughed.

"Mah, here we are~" Tooya said as he stopped at a dorm.

She bit her lip and smiled.

"Kinda nervous," she admitted.

"Oh, don't back out now." He said as he rested his hand on the doorknob casually.

"Alright," she breathed. "Let's do this."

He smiled as he twisted the doorknob and pushed a little, leading her into Yuu's dorm.

"Wow," she breathed. His dorm was indeed classy, even for a guy.

"Shh," Tooya hushed as they both crept to the bedroom. 

Her heart stepped up as she saw the mahogany frame that led to his bedroom. This was it, the moment she's been waiting four months for.

Tooya was about to open the door when he stopped at a weird sound. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Hear that?" he asked her, his voice barely above a whisper.

She nodded and cocked her head to the side in curiosity.

Another vague moan ripped through the still air, and she began to feel restless.

Tooya, however, had pieced it in his mind all too fast.

"Fuck." They heard from inside. "A-Ahh.."

Tooya's eyes widened. "H-Hey Aki, maybe we can check on him later in the day.. I mean, it's t-too early and I—hey wait!" He gulped nervously as she stepped forward and opened the unlocked door herself.

She could do nothing but gape.

"Shit," Tooya cursed.

Yuu was in bed with someone else, an unfamiliar girl. They were both naked and, well, in the middle of something intense. He leaned in towards the girl, smiling as if to give her a kiss.

She was too shocked to move, her body rigid and tensed. She didn't feel the paper bag slip through her fingers, landing on the floor with a deafening crash.

Yuu's head snapped up to look at them, and his eyes widened.

"Aki—"

"I'm going," she said before storming out of the room.

"Akira, wait!" Yuu shouted, scrambling out of the bed and hurriedly dressing himself up. The girl called him back to bed, but he ignored her.

She went into the elevator, seeing him run through the corridor towards her. The doors closed in on time, right before he could get to her.

"Akira!" Yuu exclaimed. "Fuck."

"Stairs," Tooya reminded. Both men immediately ran to the stairwell, feet pounding hard against the floor.

"Akira, wait!" Yuu said as he caught up to her in the lobby.

"Let me go!" She spat at him harshly.

"Akira, wait, please. Let me explain—"

"You don't have to explain. I already saw everything."

"But, please, listen to me—"

"No! Let me go, Yuu. It's over."

He felt his heart stop for a whole second before feeling it break in his chest. "A-Akira, you don't mean that.."

"I do. It's over."

Those words rang in his ears. He felt tears well up in his eyes.

She shot him a glare before turning away and leaving the dorm house. She hailed a cab and slipped in, leaving him with Tooya.

Everyone was surprised when she reached the apartment. She said nothing but walked into the bedroom, threw herself on the bed and sobbed quietly to herself. Yokeru stroked her hair comfortingly as she cried.

After a while, she had finally calmed herself down.

"Zeii, can you please call the airport?" She asked in a small voice.

"The airport..? W-what for?"

"I want to go home."

"What the hell?!" Zeii almost screeched at him.

"Let me talk to her, please." He begged.

"No," Zeii replied sternly. "You're not getting anywhere near her, you fucking bitch. Get the fuck out."

"Please," he pleaded. "I need to set things right."

"Things are okay now, Yuu. Go back to your little whore." Yokeru snapped. 

"I just want to talk to her." He said, frustrated.

"See if she'll listen to you," Xiamo said. He patted Yokeru's shoulder, and she gave way for him.

"Good luck." Tooya muttered under his breath.

Yuu carefully slipped into the room to find her sitting on the bed. Tears stained her doll-like face, her fingers were trembling and it didn't look like she had slept well for the past days.

"Aki.." he murmured.

"Get out," she said coldly.

"Akira, please let me explain." He pleaded, kneeling in front of her.

"Five minutes." She warned.

He sucked in a deep breath. "Look, I know I've made a mistake.. and I regret it. I'm really sorry, Akira, I really am. There's no excuse for what I've done. I know that you might not find the heart to forgive me here and now, but I'll make it up to you. I'll set things right, I promise."

She listened to his words, and gave a soft sigh.

"Did you think of that when you were with her? Did it cross your mind when you were balls deep inside that whore? Did you even remember me, save for the moments when we would talk on the phone or video-chat?"

He felt like his tongue was frozen inside his mouth. Her ice-like words pierced his heart like daggers.

"I don't want to see your face ever again," she said, pushing at his shoulders roughly.

"Akira, please. You know I love you. I-I'll set things right, I pr—"

"I said, it's over!" She almost screamed at him. She roughly tugged at the ring curled around her finger, and threw it at him with a little much force. "Get the fuck out!"

He felt tears sting his eyes, watching her bury herself under the covers. He picked up the small ring and felt a painful tightening in his chest.

He dragged his feet to the door, looking back once in a while. She hadn't moved. Her small frame was still curled underneath the blanket.

"Can't say we didn't warn you," Tooya said. It didn't take a genius to know. From the defeated look on Yuu's face, it seemed like it didn't go very well.

And from the looks of things, it didn't look like this would turn out well either.
