Promise <约定>

Luhan's pov

It had been a torture to me.

I never know her absence can make me feel like life isn't meaningful at all when it is.

"I'll come back, I promise." She kissed me goodbye before she left, going back to Malaysia.

Day 1.

I was waiting for her call or message, but I didn't get one.

I thought maybe she needed some rest and she will call me once she wakes up.

Day 2.

Still, no message as this is the nth time I had been checking my phone for today.

Day 5.

I frustratingly threw my phone aside as Sleepy barked at me in protest. "Shut up, sleepy." He barked again and I took my blanket as I wrapped around myself.

I don't want to believe that she's not coming back. She promised that she will.

She says she's going for a week. Is only for a week.

Two more days Luhan, is only two more days and it will be a week.

Day 10.

I stared at my phone. Nothing.

Seriously?

I look at Sleepy, "Sleepy, she's coming back ...right?"

But I never get an answer from sleepy.

Day15.

I left Shanghai. I brought Sleepy with me.

I didn't tell anyone and just left. I return her keys as I left it under the carpet outside the house.

I can't believe that she didn't contact me anymore after 15 days when she's supposed to tell me when she had reached.

Pain is what left in my heart whenever I look at the sky.

Day 20.

I start getting calls. And plenty of message.

But is from an unknown number.

"Luhan."

"Is me, Rong. I got locked up by my parents." I frowned upon seeing it.

"Luhan?"

"They took my old phone away so I can never contact anyone. But I had a spare phone just in case anything happens and I remember the phone number of the six of you. I can't even walk around my house now. I can only stay in my room. They lock it from outside."

I get at least 100 message in a day. I swear I wasn't kidding.

Day 30.

I'm still getting calls and messages from this unknown number every day. But I never answer nor reply anything.

Because I don't know if this is a prank. Or if this is a set-up.

I always checked my old conversation with Rong.

I missed her. I missed her so damn much.

But I guess she's never coming back. Not anymore.

"Luhan, why aren't you replying?"

Day 50.

I was staring at the sky as I gulped the beer in my hand.

I refused to answer the call that I'm getting as I just threw it aside.
