Chapter 16

- Luhan -

After a long day of practicing, it was finally bedtime. There was a bathroom in each room, but Xiumin was still talking to Mr. Lee. I walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on.

I looked in the mirror and examined myself closely. Not to be cocky, but I would rate myself as fairly handsome. I was baby faced, but I learned to accept it. Anyway, the shower was heated up so I flung my towel onto the bar right outside the shower. I took off my clothes (A/N: Don't you think of this in a dirty way, you naughty little readers) and got in the shower.

The hot water sprinkled my hair, then the rest of my body. Do you ever spend your shower time just not doing anything except pondering?

Do you ask yourself questions like, "What is life?" or "What have I done with my life?" Because that's what I am doing right now. Except I am thinking of (Y/N). Has she met anyone else? Did she find a good school? I'm worrying so much when it's only been a couple of days.

My mind went back and forth between a million questions until I decided to finish bathing. I turned off the shower and grabbed my towel. I wrapped it around my waist and went into my room. "Took you long enough." Xiumin scoffed.

I stuck my tongue out at him and he did the same to me and then I got dressed.

- Kwon Ji-Yong -

I could tell that (Y/N) was different than the other girls. She didn't care that much about how she looked on the outside. And frankly, I didn't either. She has a great personality, and I found out that we have a lot in common.

I stared at her in amazement. Her long, dark hair was shining with the sunlight bouncing off of it. Her dark brown eyes twinkled with a sense of passion and kindness. She has pink, plump lips and a normal nose.

But she was perfect.

And she's MY prom date.

Ooh, wait until the guys get a load of her. They might finally accept me. She snapped in front of my face and made my thoughts vanish. "Why wear you staring at me? Do I have something on my face?" she asked, reaching to touch her cheek.

"No! No, it's just...you're really beautiful..." I replied quickly, not bothering to think about what to say. She blushed and looked down. After a while, she talked again.

"So my aunt says that you...are kind of an...'unpopular' person at your school. Why?" she asked, "Because I like everything about you."  (Y/N) added quietly.

I grinned from ear to ear at the compliment and she laughed at me. "Well, I am not that athletic. The guys really stress sports, though." I explained. "I can dance, sing, and rap, however." I said.

"Really? Can I hear something?" she asked, leaning closer. "Uh...sure, I guess." I said. I went over the lyrics of on of the songs I wrote.

It was called "One of A Kind". I took a deep breath and started rapping.  I finished and looked at her. She was motionless. Suddenly, she started clapping and smiling radiantly.

"Wah~! That was amazing!" she breathed.

I blushed and played with my fingers. "You should really think of becoming an idol." she said. I shrugged.

Maybe.

- You -

I had a lot of fun with GD yesteeday. But anyway, today I was going to focus on school. I was enrolled in the Universidad de Santa Isabel in Naga City already. Tomorrow was my first day, but today I was going to buy supplies.

I looked down at the money in my hand - 1000 pesos. Was that enough to buy the necessary supplies? } went to the store and looked around.

There were notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, markers, colored pencil, etc. I picked out all of my supplies and brought them to the register. It totaled to about 400 pesos. I handed the cashier the money.

"Salamat!" she said and handed me my supplies. What'd she say? It was probably a good idea to start learning Tagalog. I went back to the mansion and called for MinLee. "Ugh, what do you want?" she asked, annoyed.

"I need a tutor for Tagalog." I said. "Maria!" she called. In a matter of seconds, Maria was standing right next to MinLee. "Yes, ma'am?"

"Tutor (Y/N) in tagalog. You seem to be good at it since you've lived here for so many years." MinLee said and strutted off. "Thanks for your help. Sorry to bother you." I said to Maria. "Oh, no! It's perfectly fine! I have perfect pronunciation and grammar, so teaching you won't be very hard. You look very intelligent." she explained.

I blushed. "Well, shall we?" she asked.

We went to the back patio and I took out a notebook. "You won't be needing that." she said, grabbing the notebook. I looked at her questioningly. "I believe that people learn faster orally. Also when you demonstrate what you are explaining."she said.

I nodded, trying to understand. "Okay. First..." The lesson lasted for 1 hour.

After, I thanked her. She resumed her chores and then my phone buzzed.

Hey! Sorry, I've been pretty busy.

Message From: (Y/N) To: Luhan

It's fine.

I sent the message and no reply came back. It was like that every single day for the past 2 months. He would be say, "Hey!" and say that he was pretty busy. I always responded with, "It's fine."

But now, I'm not sure if it is fine. We have no time for each other anymore. So one day, I came to a decision.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Message From: (Y/N) To: Luhan

Luhan, I just...I just don't think this is working anymore.

Message From: Luhan To: (Y/N)

What do you mean? It's working perfectly! We talk to each other every day!

Message From: (Y/N) To: Luhan

For less than 5 minutes! We barely have time for each other.

Message From: Luhan To: (Y/N)

Please don't tell me what I think you're saying.

Message From: (Y/N) To: Luhan

I think we should just stop this already. It's useless. Between your career and my new life...we just don't connect like we used to. I still love you with all my heart, Luhan. But we have no choice. I'm sorry, Luhan. You have no idea how much it kills me to say this, but please...you have to move on.

Message From: (Y/N) To: Luhan

It's your choice. I still love you, too. But I cannot and will not move on. I will not give up on you.

"I will not give up on you." I read aloud, trying not to die from how persistent he is.

Me neither, Luhan. I will NEVER give up on you.

I promise.
