"What do you want to eat?" Xinying clung onto Yixing's arms and asked.

"Anything will do." Yixing replied without even looking at her.

It had been almost a month since he never seen Jiahui. He felt like he is responsible in explaining things to her, but it just seems like he doesn't has anything to explain, especially when Jiahui bumped into the two in such a situation.

He went to places she used to go around but he couldn't find her. He tried to ask her friends but then he realized that he never knows her well enough that he doesn't even know which subject she's majoring in and she is taking. He tried to contact her but she'll always reject his call.

It just seemed like…she disappeared from the school, or either she found somewhere new for her to be there. Somewhere that Yixing probably won't know.

Joonmyeon and Luhan actually saw her multiple times and they even talk but she always refuse to talk about Yixing, according to them. The two hadn't know what happened yet, and Yixing didn't even bother to explain to them, since there will be a day when they find out too.

Yixing and Xinying? They aren't together. Yixing had never planned to start over with her, especially after she betrayed him and dumped him years before. Xinying is getting more attached to Yixing after Jiahui bumped into them last time. It sometimes even make Yixing question, doesn't she has her own job other than bothering him all time?

"Hello?" Yixing picked up the phone call after realizing that it was Joonmyeon.

"Where are you now, Yixing? It's urgent!" Joonmyeon said.

"I'm around the school. Why?" Yixing frowned a little bit. Xinying had went to the restroom, after finishing order the foods for the both of them.

"Don't ask too much first, Luhan and I are in the café near our school that we usually go…you can come right now, isn't it?"

"Oh, sure. I'll see you there in three minutes." Yixing nodded and ended the call. He stood up from his seat and went out from the restaurant without even bother to inform Xinying. For him, this is a good chance to get away from her.

Yixing spotted Joonmyeon and Luhan sitting at one of the corner of the café. He went to sat down beside Luhan, and asked, "What happened?"

"Just wait and see." Luhan pointed at the door and replied. Yixing kept on receiving calls from Xinying who is probably panicked and searching for him, so he turned off his phone.

There wasn't much people in the café, except for a few second year students who are having some pastries and coffees while chatting.

The bell at the door rang, signifying that there's customer. Yixing looked up and found Jiahui was entering the café, with some of her friends accompanying her.

Jiahui had seemed to got slimmer after the last time he seen her. Is she starving herself? He suddenly thought.

"So you guys are calling me to here because you knew she'll be coming?" Yixing turned to them and asked. They knew the two hasn't met for quite a time but they didn't know what happened between them.

"Well, part of." Joonmyeon shrugged.

Suddenly, the students who were sitting earlier all stood up together. Jiahui who was with her friends, ordering at the counter look surprise, when one of them held out a bouquet of flowers for her.

Yixing recognized that it was the guy who confessed to her at the field, the day when he first asked her out for lunch.

"I know I've said it for a multiple times and it might be annoying." The guy smiled and told Jiahui. "I really like you, can you be my girlfriend?"

Their friends surrounding them cooed loudly, and started chanting  "Be together! Be together!"

Jiahui's eyes shifted around uncomfortably and she noticed Yixing who was watching them. Their eyes locked, Yixing couldn't help but notice how different Jiahui look at him now. There's not only love, but pain as well.

She smiled a little bit and turned back to the guy. "Yes." Jiahui replied, loud enough for Yixing to hear, and loud enough, for his heart to break.

This is the second time that he's feeling like this towards her. Heartbreaking but he doesn't know why and he can't do anything about it.
