"Are you sleeping already?" Yi Xing asked Airah on the other line "I am, I need to wake up early tomorrow you told me you'll fetch me at 9 AM right? Plus our address, you're not going to get lost right?"

"I won't don't worry."

"Daddy wants to meet you." she said "Yeah. I'm actually nervous to meet him." he said "Ah don't be. He's very nice! He wants to meet you because you're my first friend here. I'm actually worried mama might ask you for an autograph, then my sister will ask for a photo." he chuckled "I will gladly do it for them, but they can't spread it. I have been missing in action for two months now." he put his cup of tea down and looked up in the sky "Are you out your room?"

"I am."

"Are you looking up?" he asked as he stared at the skies "Yes." she answered shortly, the sky looks really great tonight, the stars are shining bright and the clouds are less "Zhang Yi Xing." Airah said calling out his whole name "EXO's Zhang Yi Xing. Hahaha."

Airah kept on calling him that since she knew about him being an idol in South Korea and in China "China's lead sheep." he said teasing him "Aiyo wei. Hahahaha."

"For Life." Airah told him to sing "The song has been stuck inside my head for a while now. I guess love it." he slowly shake his head and smiled thanking heavens she's finally talking to him again "I just want to ask if I am really forgiven now before I sing."

"You are. You will always be forgiven." his lips slowly formed a smile and he's feeling something in his stomach, is this what others call butterfly in their stomachs? It feels heaven! "Okay, I'll sing now."

Airah fell a sleep hearing Yi Xing's voice singing for her. The next day, Kylla surprised her with a bouquet of flowers, it was from Yi Xing and there was a note attached from it telling her he's sorry "Won't he get tired of saying sorry?" she asked looking at his note "Oh gosh, maybe he likes you!" Kylla said "Yeah he likes me as a friend and please do not tell anyone about this." Kylla raised her right hand "I promise, Ate!"

She dialed Yi Xing's number on her phone "Hey." Yi Xing sounded so sleepy "Did I disturb you?" she asked "No, goodmorning Airah." she looked at his note on the flowers again "Goodmorning too, but where did you get my address? Don't you know how creepy this was for me?"

"I'm too handsome to be acreep, Airah." okay, he and his jokes "I bribed our therapist." he said "You... you really did?!" Yi Xing laughed on the other line "I did, I got the charms you know?" he said still laughing "Anyway did you like the flowers? They are my peace offering." he got up from bed and took his sheep stuff toy to hug it "I did... I love the color. Hmmm, please stop saying you're sorry, I already forgave you, why do you still keep on saying that?"

"It's because I'm really sorry for lying, I knew from the very beginning it was a bad move but I still did it and I missed you."

"You what?" Airah pretended she didn't hear what he said but the truth is, she only wants to check if she heard it right "I said I missed you. Can't I? We didn't talk for five days, that was so long. My conscience almost killed me." Yi Xing went to his kitchen to get some water "Don't lie anymore." she said "You can tell me anything. Everything. I am your friend right?" he almost spitted the water out of his mouth with what she said.

How am I supposed to get out of this friend zone?!

Airah wakes up with his messages, sleeps hearing his voice singing for her and Yi Xing is happy doing those things for her. He actually wants to always be the last person Airah talks to before she sleeps. So she can dream of him... though he doesn't know if she does.
