Dream University (EXO Fanfic)

Chapter 3 : The Platinum

A/N : You'll be seeing the word 'Platinum' a lot in the following chapters hihi. I kind of like the concept and let me tell you that I did not think of the concept of Platinum I got it from an anime. So I clearly sorta base this story with the manga. i guess it's okay since the plot is waay off if you compare it with each other. hihi enjoy!

"Eun Hee-ah. Promise me that no matter what you'll enter Yonsei University. That way, we can see each other again. Alright? Promise me!" Kai flicks his pinky open.

I marvel at his huge childish grin, "I promise! I'll see Kai oppa soon!" I gave him a big bear hug, soon after step dad's car parks in front of the house.

Kai touches both my cheeks, staring at my eyes intently. "I'll see you soon. Be a good girl, Eun Hee-ah."

He leaves my side, enters the car and before I could even wave farewell. He was already gone.

...

"Eun Hee, did you get any sleep last night?" asks the worried Xiumin.

I nod and smile, "Kind of" 

I had that dream again last night. The dream where Kai and I were still kids. The day where he left my side to travel to Seoul with step father. I've been frequently having dreams of Kai everyday, and I think the reason why is because we've finally reunited. Sorta.

Because of that I also cried my hardest last night. And the reason was because of what Kai said to me yesterday. His words kept echoing inside my mind and was messing my entire brain up. I thought I was going insane just thinking about it. 

Maybe he wasn't Kai. Maybe he was just someone he looks like. There were countless of possibilites to  choose from, and to be honest, I don't know which to choose from. 

Our first class started, I didn't pay much attention to Mr. Lee because of my unorganized thoguhts wandering about. I could sense Xiumin and Chen eyeing me whenever I let out a deep sigh every now and then. 

I want to tell them all about yesterday's event. But I'm worried that they might get angry at me. Why? Because Chen warned me not to get involved with them. If only Jihoon was here to guide me, he would always have the solution to every problem I had. 

Lunch. Cafeteria.

"There's definently something wrong with you." says Chen with a frown, watching me uncover my lunchbox.

"Yeah. You should tell us, we're friends aren't we?" says Xiumin, eyeing me with suspicion. 

I started to sweat bullets as I try to sway the topic, "It really is nothing. I just felt a bit homesick last night." I nod as I stick with that reason.

They pat my back, "I guess that's something to be sad about. But whatever the reason is, we want you to tell us." Chen sighs, "And here we thought you were hiding something from us." laughs the both of them. I started to laugh with them. 

"Well anyway. Let's eat!" Chen grabs hold of his spoon and starts attacking the food in front of him.

Before I could even sink my chopsticks into the croquette I made, I saw Kai stand up from the rest of the group eating.

 I watch as he walks out of the cafeteria hall. I quickly stood up, packing my lunch box in a quick manner.

Chen blinks thrice, "Are you already done? You haven't eaten a single thing yet." 

"I-I'm actually full. Excuse me, I'll just go to the comfort room." I brisk walk to where Kai had made an exit. Girls were a feet away from him, stealing glances and what not. I guess they already know the drill about Kai hating everyone.
